I set my active schema to SwiftDataCardSampleEnd, open ContentView.swift, and bring up the Canvas. When I click the little refresh button I get the follow error from Canvas:

I've made a similar preview in another project where I define a model and I try to use that model in a SwiftUI Canvas preview. I get a very similar error. Basically Canvas is saying it can't find the symbols for the properties on the type.

Is there something I'm missing here? Some hidden build setting I need to flip. Or is this just busted?

It is a bug. In Beta 3 it was possible to embed the preview code in MainActor.assumeIsolated { }, but this patch no longer works in Beta 4. They are now recommending to run the SwiftData apps in the simulator or a device until they fix the bug.

Thank you! If possible could you post a link to where you found that information. Just trying to keep track of current state for when boss asks.

Thanks again!!

The information about Previews not working with SwiftData is listed in the release notes for Xcode 15 Beta 4.

Hope this helps.
