SwiftData JSONDataStore with relationships
I am trying to add a custom JSON DataStore and DataStoreConfiguration for SwiftData. Apple kindly provided some sample code in the WWDC24 session, "Create a custom data store with SwiftData", and (once updated for API changes since WWDC) that works fine. However, when I try to add a relationship between two classes, it fails. Has anyone successfully made a JSONDataStore with a relationship? Here's my code; firstly the cleaned up code from the WWDC session: import SwiftData final class JSONStoreConfiguration: DataStoreConfiguration { typealias Store = JSONStore var name: String var schema: Schema? var fileURL: URL init(name: String, schema: Schema? = nil, fileURL: URL) { self.name = name self.schema = schema self.fileURL = fileURL } static func == (lhs: JSONStoreConfiguration, rhs: JSONStoreConfiguration) -> Bool { return lhs.name == rhs.name } func hash(into hasher: inout Hasher) { hasher.combine(name) } } final class JSONStore: DataStore { typealias Configuration = JSONStoreConfiguration typealias Snapshot = DefaultSnapshot var configuration: JSONStoreConfiguration var name: String var schema: Schema var identifier: String init(_ configuration: JSONStoreConfiguration, migrationPlan: (any SchemaMigrationPlan.Type)?) throws { self.configuration = configuration self.name = configuration.name self.schema = configuration.schema! self.identifier = configuration.fileURL.lastPathComponent } func save(_ request: DataStoreSaveChangesRequest<DefaultSnapshot>) throws -> DataStoreSaveChangesResult<DefaultSnapshot> { var remappedIdentifiers = [PersistentIdentifier: PersistentIdentifier]() var serializedData = try read() for snapshot in request.inserted { let permanentIdentifier = try PersistentIdentifier.identifier(for: identifier, entityName: snapshot.persistentIdentifier.entityName, primaryKey: UUID()) let permanentSnapshot = snapshot.copy(persistentIdentifier: permanentIdentifier) serializedData[permanentIdentifier] = permanentSnapshot remappedIdentifiers[snapshot.persistentIdentifier] = permanentIdentifier } for snapshot in request.updated { serializedData[snapshot.persistentIdentifier] = snapshot } for snapshot in request.deleted { serializedData[snapshot.persistentIdentifier] = nil } try write(serializedData) return DataStoreSaveChangesResult<DefaultSnapshot>(for: self.identifier, remappedIdentifiers: remappedIdentifiers) } func fetch<T>(_ request: DataStoreFetchRequest<T>) throws -> DataStoreFetchResult<T, DefaultSnapshot> where T : PersistentModel { if request.descriptor.predicate != nil { throw DataStoreError.preferInMemoryFilter } else if request.descriptor.sortBy.count > 0 { throw DataStoreError.preferInMemorySort } let objs = try read() let snapshots = objs.values.map({ $0 }) return DataStoreFetchResult(descriptor: request.descriptor, fetchedSnapshots: snapshots, relatedSnapshots: objs) } func read() throws -> [PersistentIdentifier : DefaultSnapshot] { if FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: configuration.fileURL.path(percentEncoded: false)) { let decoder = JSONDecoder() decoder.dateDecodingStrategy = .iso8601 let data = try decoder.decode([DefaultSnapshot].self, from: try Data(contentsOf: configuration.fileURL)) var result = [PersistentIdentifier: DefaultSnapshot]() data.forEach { s in result[s.persistentIdentifier] = s } return result } else { return [:] } } func write(_ data: [PersistentIdentifier : DefaultSnapshot]) throws { let encoder = JSONEncoder() encoder.dateEncodingStrategy = .iso8601 encoder.outputFormatting = [.prettyPrinted, .sortedKeys] let jsonData = try encoder.encode(data.values.map({ $0 })) try jsonData.write(to: configuration.fileURL) } } The data model classes: import SwiftData @Model class Settings { private(set) var version = 1 @Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade) var hack: Hack? = Hack() init() { } } @Model class Hack { var foo = "Foo" var bar = 42 init() { } } Container: lazy var mainContainer: ModelContainer = { do { let url = // URL to file let configuration = JSONStoreConfiguration(name: "Settings", schema: Schema([Settings.self, Hack.self]), fileURL: url) return try ModelContainer(for: Settings.self, Hack.self, configurations: configuration) } catch { fatalError("Container error: \(error.localizedDescription)") } }() Load function, that saves a new Settings JSON file if there isn't an existing one: @MainActor func loadSettings() { let mainContext = mainContainer.mainContext let descriptor = FetchDescriptor<Settings>() let settingsArray = try? mainContext.fetch(descriptor) print("\(settingsArray?.count ?? 0) settings found") if let settingsArray, let settings = settingsArray.last { print("Loaded") } else { let settings = Settings() mainContext.insert(settings) do { try mainContext.save() } catch { print("Error saving settings: \(error)") } } } The save operation creates a JSON file, which while it isn't a format I would choose, is acceptable, though I notice that the "hack" property (the relationship) doesn't have the correct identifier. When I run the app again to load the data, I get an error (that there wasn't room to include in this post). Even if I change Apple's code to not assign a new identifier, so the relationship property and its pointee have the same identifier, it still doesn't load. Am I doing something obviously wrong, or are relationships not supported in custom data stores?

How can the owner access a zone he shared on cloudkit?
Using this Apple repository as a basis https://github.com/apple/sample-cloudkit-zonesharing I created and verified the shared zone and the same zone is private for the person who shared it and shared for the person who received it, so aren't they the same zones? [same zone but different id?] I can make the person who shared the zone (owner) access the zone as a .shared scope just like the person who was shared.

CKShare Fails with quotaExceeded Error on Family iCloud Plan
Hello, When attempting to create a CKShare on a personal device linked to a Family iCloud plan (non-primary account holder), the operation fails with a quotaExceeded error. This occurs with the Family plan having 1.5TB available storage space. This is also causing a data loss for the object(s) that were attempted to be shared. Details Account Type: Family iCloud Plan (2TB total storage) Current Family Usage: 399GB iCloud Account Usage: 70 GB Steps to Reproduce: Have an iCloud account with storage over the 5GB free space limit. Be on a part of a iCloud Family Plan as the non-primary account holder. Have storage space available in the Family Plan Attempt to start a CloudKit Share/Collaboration on the device. Observe that the CKShare creation fails with a quotaExceeded error. Expected Behavior: The CKShare should be successfully created, reflecting the total available storage of the Family plan. Observed Behavior: The CKShare fails to be created with quotaExceeded. Additional Testing On a test device using an iCloud account with no stored data, the CKShare was created successfully and shared without issue. Suspected Cause The CKShare functionality is verifying the personal storage allocation of the iCloud account and failing without checking total available storage provided by the Family plan.

NSPersistentCloudKitContainer uploads only a subset of records to public database in production environment
I'm having some issues where only a subset of records appear in CloudKit dashboard after I have saved some records in my iOS app using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer. I have noticed that when I'm running my app using the development environment of my CloudKit container everything works smoothly and is uploaded as expected but when I'm using the production environment only a subset of records are actually uploaded. I'm pulling my hair on how to debug this. -com.apple.CoreData.CloudKitDebug and -com.apple.CoreData.SQLDebug pukes out too much info in the console for me to pinpoint any issue.

Avoiding deletion of referenced records
Let's say I have a CloudKit database schema where I have records of type Author that are referenced by multiple records of type Article. I want to delete an Author record if no Article is referencing it. Now consider the following conflict: device A deleted the last Article referencing Author #42 device B uploads a new Article referencing Author #42 at the same time The result should be that Author #42 is not deleted after both operations are finished. But both device don't know from each other changes. So either device B could miss that device A deleted the author. Or device A could have missed that a new Article was uploaded and therefore the Author #42 was deleted right after the upload of device B. I though about using a reference count first. But this won't work if the ref count is part of the Author record. This is because deletions do not use the changeTag to detect lost updates: If device A found a reference count 0 and decides to delete the Author, it might miss that device B incremented the count meanwhile. I currently see two alternatives: Using a second record that outlives the Author to keep the reference count and using an atomic operation to update and delete it. So if the update fails, the delete would fail either. Always adding a new child record to the Author whenever a reference is made. We could call it ReferenceToken. Since child records may not become dangling, CloudKit would stop a deletion, if a new ReferenceToken sets the parent reference to the Author. Are there any better ways doing this?

SwiftData propertiesToFetch question
I have a simple model @Model final class Movie: Identifiable { #Index\<Movie\>(\[.name\]) var id = UUID() var name: String var genre: String? init(name: String, genre: String?) { self.name = name self.genre = genre } } I turned on SQL debugging by including '-com.apple.CoreData.SQLDebug 3' argument on launch. When I fetch the data using the following code, it selects 3 records initially, but then also selects each record individually even though I am not referencing any other attributes. var fetchDescriptor = FetchDescriptor\<Movie\>() fetchDescriptor.propertiesToFetch = \[.id, .name\] fetchDescriptor.fetchLimit = 3 do { print("SELECT START") movies = try modelContext.fetch(fetchDescriptor) print("SELECT END") } catch { print("Failed to load Movie model.") } I see it selecting the 3 rows initially, but then it selects each one separately. Why would it do this on the initial fetch? I was hoping to select the data that I want to display and let the system select the entire record only when I access a variable that I did not initially fetch. CoreData: annotation: fetch using NSSQLiteStatement <0x600002158af0> on entity 'Movie' with sql text 'SELECT 1, t0.Z_PK, t0.ZID, t0.ZNAME FROM ZMOVIE t0 LIMIT 3' returned 3 rows with values: ( "<NSManagedObject: 0x600002158d70> (entity: Movie; id: 0xa583c7ed484691c1 <x-coredata://71E60F4C-1A40-4DB7-8CD1-CD76B4C11949/Movie/p1>; data: <fault>)", "<NSManagedObject: 0x600002158d20> (entity: Movie; id: 0xa583c7ed482691c1 <x-coredata://71E60F4C-1A40-4DB7-8CD1-CD76B4C11949/Movie/p2>; data: <fault>)", "<NSManagedObject: 0x600002158f00> (entity: Movie; id: 0xa583c7ed480691c1 <x-coredata://71E60F4C-1A40-4DB7-8CD1-CD76B4C11949/Movie/p3>; data: <fault>)" ) CoreData: annotation: fetch using NSSQLiteStatement <0x600002154d70> on entity 'Movie' with sql text 'SELECT 0, t0.Z_PK, t0.Z_OPT, t0.ZGENRE, t0.ZID, t0.ZNAME FROM ZMOVIE t0 WHERE t0.Z_PK = ? ' returned 1 rows CoreData: annotation: with values: ( "<NSSQLRow: 0x600000c89500>{Movie 1-1-1 genre=\"Horror\" id=4C5CB4EB-95D7-4DC8-B839-D4F2D2E96ED0 name=\"A000036\" and to-manys=0x0}" ) This all happens between the SELECT START and SELECT END print statements. Why is it fulfilling the faults immediately?

Core Data Multiple NSEntityDescriptions claim the NSManagedObject subclass
Hello everyone, I'm trying to adopt the new Staged Migrations for Core Data and I keep running into an error that I haven't been able to resolve. The error messages are as follows: warning: Multiple NSEntityDescriptions claim the NSManagedObject subclass 'Movie' so +entity is unable to disambiguate. warning: 'Movie' (0x60000350d6b0) from NSManagedObjectModel (0x60000213a8a0) claims 'Movie'. error: +[Movie entity] Failed to find a unique match for an NSEntityDescription to a managed object subclass This happens for all of my entities when they are added/fetched. Movie is an abstract entity subclass, and it has the error error: +[Movie entity] Failed to find which is unique to the subclass entities, but this occurs for all entities. The NSPersistentContainer is loaded only once, and I set the following option after it's loaded: storeDescription.setOption( [stages], forKey: NSPersistentStoreStagedMigrationManagerOptionKey ) The warnings and errors only appear after I fetch or save to context. It happens regardless of whether the database was migrated or not. In my test project, using the generic NSManagedObject with NSEntityDescription.insertNewObject(forEntityName: "MyEntity", into: context) does not cause the issue. However, using the generic NSManagedObject is not a viable option for my app. Setting the module to "Current Project Module" doesn't change anything, except that it now prints "claims 'MyModule.Show'" in the warnings. I have verified that there are no other entities with the same name or renameIdentifier. Has anyone else encountered this issue, or can offer any suggestions on how to resolve it? Thanks in advance for any help!

SwiftData - Problems with Predicates and Relations
Hello, I have a problem with SwiftData and Predicates that check for the persistentModelID of the relations. My data model looks simplified like this: Day -> TimeEntry[] -> Hashtag[] What I want to achieve is to query the days and associated time entries via assigned tags. This is my predicate: let identifier = filterHashtags.map(\.persistentModelID) ... #Predicate<TimeEntry> { timeEntry in identifiers.count == timeEntry.tags.filter { tag in identifiers.contains(tag.persistentModelID) }.count } It does not return any data when I check for the persistentModelID. However, if I use another property of the tags, e.g. the name or a generated UUID for the check, the predicate works. Is this a general problem with PersistentIdentifier in Predicates or am I missing something? Thanks in advance

Correct way to remove arrays containing model objects in SwiftData
Are there any differences (either performance or memory considerations) between removing an array of model objects directly using .removeAll() vs using modelContext? Or, are they identical? Attached below is an example to better illustrate the question (i.e., First Way vs Second Way) // Model Definition @Model class GroupOfPeople { let groupName: String @Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade, inverse: \Person.group) var people: [Person] = [] init() { ... } } @Model class Person { let name: String var group: GroupOfPeople? init() { ... } } // First way struct DemoView: View { @Query private groups: [GroupOfPeople] var body: some View { List(groups) { group in DetailView(group: group) } } } struct DetailView: View { let group: GroupOfPeople var body: some View { Button("Delete All Participants") { group.people.removeAll() } } // Second way struct DemoView: View { @Query private groups: [GroupOfPeople] var body: some View { List(groups) { group in DetailView(group: group) } } } struct DetailView: View { @Environment(\.modelContext) private var context let group: GroupOfPeople var body: some View { Button("Delete All Participants") { context.delete(model: Person.self, where: #Predicate { $0.group.name == group.name }) } // assuming group names are unique. more of making a point using modelContext instead }

Mutating an array of model objects that is a child of a model object
Hi all, In my SwiftUI / SwiftData / Cloudkit app which is a series of lists, I have a model object called Project which contains an array of model objects called subprojects: final class Project1 { var name: String = "" @Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade, inverse: \Subproject.project) var subprojects : [Subproject]? init(name: String) { self.name = name self.subprojects = [] } } The user will select a project from a list, which will generate a list of subprojects in another list, and if they select a subproject, it will generate a list categories and if the user selects a category it will generate another list of child objects owned by category and on and on. This is the pattern in my app, I'm constantly passing arrays of model objects that are the children of other model objects throughout the program, and I need the user to be able to add and remove things from them. My initial approach was to pass these arrays as bindings so that I'd be able to mutate them. This worked for the most part but there were two problems: it was a lot of custom binding code and when I had to unwrap these bindings using init?(_ base: Binding<Value?>), my program would crash if one of these arrays became nil (it's some weird quirk of that init that I don't understand at al). As I'm still learning the framework, I had not realized that the @model macro had automatically made my model objects observable, so I decided to remove the bindings and simply pass the arrays by reference, and while it seems these references will carry the most up to date version of the array, you cannot mutate them unless you have access to the parent and mutate it like such: project.subcategories?.removeAll { $0 == subcategory } project.subcategories?.append(subcategory) This is weirding me out because you can't unwrap subcategories before you try to mutate the array, it has to be done like above. In my code, I like to unwrap all optionals at the moment that I need the values stored in them and if not, I like to post an error to the user. Isn't that the point of optionals? So I don't understand why it's like this and ultimately am wondering if I'm using the correct design pattern for what I'm trying to accomplish or if I'm missing something? Any input would be much appreciated! Also, I do have a small MRE project if the explanation above wasn't clear enough, but I was unable to paste in here (too long), attach the zip or paste a link to Google Drive. Open to sharing it if anyone can tell me the best way to do so. Thanks!

Document based SwiftData apps do not autosave
Document based SwiftData apps do not autosave changes to the ModelContext at all. This issue has been around since the first release of this SwiftData feature. In fact, the Apple WWDC sample project (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/building-a-document-based-app-using-swiftdata) does not persist any data in its current state, unless one inserts modelContext.save() calls after every data change. I have reported this under the feedback ID FB16503154, as it seemed to me that there is no feedback report about the fundamental issue yet. Other posts related to this problem: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/757172 https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/768906 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/764189

CloudKit console fails to query indexed records in Production
"No records found" If I create a new record on the console, I can copy the record name. I can then query for recordName and get that individual record back. BUT no other queries work. I cannot query all records. I cannot query by individual property. Just returns "no records found" Seems like my indexes got messed up. Is there a way to reset indexes on prod? This is on a coredata.cloudkit managed zone.

caches directory counts towards app storage?
throughout all of Foundation's URL documentation, its called out in multiple places that data stored inside an app sandox's caches directory doesn't count towards data and documents usage in the settings app but in practice, it looks like storing data there does in fact count towards documents & data for the app i'm trying to understand if the docs are wrong, if theres a bug in the settings app, or if this is a mistake on my part

swiftdata model polymorphism?
I have a SwiftData model where I need to customize behavior based on the value of a property (connectorType). Here’s a simplified version of my model: @Model public final class ConnectorModel { public var connectorType: String ... func doSomethingDifferentForEveryConnectorType() { ... } } I’d like to implement doSomethingDifferentForEveryConnectorType in a way that allows the behavior to vary depending on connectorType, and I want to follow best practices for scalability and maintainability. I’ve come up with three potential solutions, each with pros and cons, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on which one makes the most sense or if there’s a better approach: **Option 1: Use switch Statements ** func doSomethingDifferentForEveryConnectorType() { switch connectorType { case "HTTP": // HTTP-specific logic case "WebSocket": // WebSocket-specific logic default: // Fallback logic } } Pros: Simple to implement and keeps the SwiftData model observable by SwiftUI without any additional wrapping. Cons: If more behaviors or methods are added, the code could become messy and harder to maintain. **Option 2: Use a Wrapper with Inheritance around swiftdata model ** @Observable class ParentConnector { var connectorModel: ConnectorModel init(connectorModel: ConnectorModel) { self.connectorModel = connectorModel } func doSomethingDifferentForEveryConnectorType() { fatalError("Not implemented") } } @Observable class HTTPConnector: ParentConnector { override func doSomethingDifferentForEveryConnectorType() { // HTTP-specific logic } } Pros: Logic for each connector type is cleanly organized in subclasses, making it easy to extend and maintain. Cons: Requires introducing additional observable classes, which could add unnecessary complexity. **Option 3: Use a @Transient class that customizes behavior ** protocol ConnectorProtocol { func doSomethingDifferentForEveryConnectorType(connectorModel: ConnectorModel) } class HTTPConnectorImplementation: ConnectorProtocol { func doSomethingDifferentForEveryConnectorType(connectorModel: ConnectorModel) { // HTTP-specific logic } } Then add this to the model: @Model public final class ConnectorModel { public var connectorType: String @Transient public var connectorImplementation: ConnectorProtocol? // Or alternatively from swiftui I could call myModel.connectorImplementation.doSomethingDifferentForEveryConnectorType() to avoid this wrapper func doSomethingDifferentForEveryConnectorType() { connectorImplementation?.doSomethingDifferentForEveryConnectorType(connectorModel: self) } } Pros: Decouples model logic from connector-specific behavior. Avoids creating additional observable classes and allows for easy extension. Cons: Requires explicitly passing the model to the protocol implementation, and setup for determining the correct implementation needs to be handled elsewhere. My Questions Which approach aligns best with SwiftData and SwiftUI best practices, especially for scalable and maintainable apps? Are there better alternatives that I haven’t considered? If Option 3 (protocol with dependency injection) is preferred, what’s the best way to a)manage the transient property 2) set the correct implementation and 3) pass reference to swiftdata model? Thanks in advance for your advice!

Recovering Customer's Data After iCloud Migration
I have encountered an issue with a customer’s data access after they migrated to a different iCloud account, and I’m looking for guidance. The Situation: The customer was logged into their account on my app, which was associated with a specific iCloud account (iCloud A). They had all their app data available while using iCloud A. The customer then switched to a new iCloud account (iCloud B) on the same device, while still using the same app account. After switching iCloud accounts, their data is no longer visible in the app or my CloudKit dashboard. My Investigation: I accessed the customer’s CloudKit data via the CloudKit Console, acting as their iCloud account. I couldn’t find the private database zone or any of their records when accessing iCloud A through the console. I don’t believe the data was deleted since actions performed under iCloud B shouldn’t affect data stored in iCloud A. My Hypothesis: I suspect that the customer’s old iCloud account (iCloud A) may have downgraded or stopped paying for iCloud storage. If the iCloud subscription is inactive or expired, could that prevent me from accessing their CloudKit data? Would renewing the iCloud subscription for iCloud A restore access to the missing data? Questions: Does an unpaid or expired iCloud account restrict access to CloudKit records, even if they weren’t deleted? Would paying for iCloud storage again restore the data previously stored in CloudKit? Is there any way to recover the customer’s CloudKit data if they are unable to access their old iCloud account? If anyone has a simpler approach to recovering the customer’s iCloud-stored app data or has experience dealing with iCloud migrations like this, I’d appreciate your insights. Thank you in advance for any advice!

No persistent stores error in SwiftData
I am following Apple's instruction to sync SwiftData with CloudKit. While initiating the ModelContainer, right after removing the store from Core Data, the error occurs: FAULT: NSInternalInconsistencyException: This NSPersistentStoreCoordinator has no persistent stores (unknown). It cannot perform a save operation.; (user info absent) I've tried removing default.store and its related files/folders before creating the ModelContainer with FileManager but it does not resolve the issue. Isn't it supposed to create a new store when the ModelContainer is initialized? I don't understand why this error occurs. Error disappears when I comment out the #if DEBUG block. Code: import CoreData import SwiftData import SwiftUI struct InitView: View { @Binding var modelContainer: ModelContainer? @Binding var isReady: Bool @State private var loadingDots = "" @State private var timer: Timer? var body: some View { VStack(spacing: 16) { Text("Loading\(loadingDots)") .font(.title2) .foregroundColor(.gray) } .padding() .onAppear { startAnimation() registerTransformers() let config = ModelConfiguration() let newContainer: ModelContainer do { #if DEBUG // Use an autorelease pool to make sure Swift deallocates the persistent // container before setting up the SwiftData stack. try autoreleasepool { let desc = NSPersistentStoreDescription(url: config.url) let opts = NSPersistentCloudKitContainerOptions(containerIdentifier: "iCloud.my-container-identifier") desc.cloudKitContainerOptions = opts // Load the store synchronously so it completes before initializing the // CloudKit schema. desc.shouldAddStoreAsynchronously = false if let mom = NSManagedObjectModel.makeManagedObjectModel(for: [Page.self]) { let container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: "Pages", managedObjectModel: mom) container.persistentStoreDescriptions = [desc] container.loadPersistentStores { _, err in if let err { fatalError(err.localizedDescription) } } // Initialize the CloudKit schema after the store finishes loading. try container.initializeCloudKitSchema() // Remove and unload the store from the persistent container. if let store = container.persistentStoreCoordinator.persistentStores.first { try container.persistentStoreCoordinator.remove(store) } } // let fileManager = FileManager.default // let sqliteURL = config.url // let urls: [URL] = [ // sqliteURL, // sqliteURL.deletingLastPathComponent().appendingPathComponent("default.store-shm"), // sqliteURL.deletingLastPathComponent().appendingPathComponent("default.store-wal"), // sqliteURL.deletingLastPathComponent().appendingPathComponent(".default_SUPPORT"), // sqliteURL.deletingLastPathComponent().appendingPathComponent("default_ckAssets") // ] // for url in urls { // try? fileManager.removeItem(at: url) // } } #endif newContainer = try ModelContainer(for: Page.self, configurations: config) // ERROR!!! } catch { fatalError(error.localizedDescription) } modelContainer = newContainer isReady = true } .onDisappear { stopAnimation() } } private func startAnimation() { timer = Timer.scheduledTimer( withTimeInterval: 0.5, repeats: true ) { _ in updateLoadingDots() } } private func stopAnimation() { timer?.invalidate() timer = nil } private func updateLoadingDots() { if loadingDots.count > 2 { loadingDots = "" } else { loadingDots += "." } } } import CoreData import SwiftData import SwiftUI @main struct MyApp: App { @State private var modelContainer: ModelContainer? @State private var isReady: Bool = false var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { if isReady, let modelContainer = modelContainer { ContentView() .modelContainer(modelContainer) } else { InitView(modelContainer: $modelContainer, isReady: $isReady) } } } }

I have this actor actor ConcurrentDatabase: ModelActor { nonisolated let modelExecutor: any ModelExecutor nonisolated let modelContainer: ModelContainer init(modelContainer: ModelContainer) { self.modelExecutor = DefaultSerialModelExecutor(modelContext: ModelContext(modelContainer)) self.modelContainer = modelContainer } /// Save pending changes in the model context. private func save() { if self.modelContext.hasChanges { do { try self.modelContext.save() } catch { ... } } } } I am getting a runtime crash on: try self.modelContext.save() when trying to insert something into the database and save Thread 1: Fatal error: Incorrect actor executor assumption; Expected same executor as MainActor. Can anyone explain why this is happening?
