When I logged into my cloudkit console to inspect the database for some debugging work I couldn't access the private database. It keeps saying "failed to access iCloud data, please signi n again". No matter how many times I sign in again, whether with password or passwordless key it keeps saying the same thing. It says that message when I click on Public database, and private and shared databases are below it. I only noticed this a couple of days ago. It's done this in the past, but I eventually got back into the database but I don't know what changed to make it work.

My app has been in the App Store a few months. In that time I've added a few updates to my SwiftData schema using a MigrationPlan, and things were seemingly going ok. But then I decided to add CloudKit syncing. I needed to modify my models to be compatible. So, I added another migration stage for it, changed the properties as needed (making things optional or adding default values, etc.). In my tests, everything seemed to work smoothly updating from the previous version to the new version with CloudKit. So I released it to my users. But, that's when I started to see the crashes and error reports come in. I think I've narrowed it down to when users update from older versions of the app. I was finally able to reproduce this on my end, and Core Data is throwing an error when loading the ModelContainer saying "CloudKit integration requires that all attributes be optional, or have a default value set." Even though I did this in the latest schema. It’s like it’s trying to load CloudKit before performing the schema migration, and since it can’t, it just fails and won’t load anything. I’m kinda at a loss how to recover from this for these users other than tell them to delete their app and restart, but obviously they’ll lose their data that way. The only other idea I have is to setup some older builds on TestFlight and direct them to update to those first, then update to the newest production version and hope that solves it. Any other ideas? And what can I do to prevent this for future users who maybe reinstall the app from an older version too? There's nothing special about my code for loading the ModelContainer. Just a basic:
let container = try ModelContainer(
for: Foo.self, Bar.self,
migrationPlan: SchemaMigration.self,
configurations: ModelConfiguration(cloudKitDatabase: .automatic)
)
I'm sorta baffled right now. I am trying to wonder how I might detect a updated SQL Store in an older app.
have a baseline app, and create a SQL-based repository
in an updated app, change the model and verify that you can see the updated model version. Using lightweight migration
re-run the older app (which will inherit the newer SQL repository).
YIKES - no error when creating the NSPersistenStoreCoordinator!
Nothing in the metadata to imply the store is newer than the model:
[_persistentStoreCoordinator metadataForPersistentStore:store]
My question: is there any way to detect this condition?

I'm having some trouble with the following function from the CKSyncEngineDelegate protocol.
func nextRecordZoneChangeBatch(_ context: CKSyncEngine.SendChangesContext,
syncEngine: CKSyncEngine) async -> CKSyncEngine.RecordZoneChangeBatch? {
The sample code from the documentation is
func nextRecordZoneChangeBatch(
_ context: CKSyncEngine.SendChangesContext,
syncEngine: CKSyncEngine
) async -> CKSyncEngine.RecordZoneChangeBatch? {
// Get the pending record changes and filter by the context's scope.
let pendingChanges = syncEngine.state.pendingRecordZoneChanges
.filter { context.options.zoneIDs.contains($0) }
// Return a change batch that contains the corresponding materialized records.
return await CKSyncEngine.RecordZoneChangeBatch(
pendingChanges: pendingChanges) { self.recordFor(id: $0) }
}
init?(pendingChanges: [CKSyncEngine.PendingRecordZoneChange], recordProvider: (CKRecord.ID) -> (CKRecord?)) works fine for the sample app which only has one record type, but it seems incredible inefficient for my app which has a dozen different record types. The recordProvider gives you a CKRecord.ID, but not the CKRecord.RecordType. Searching each record type for a matching ID seems very inefficient.
Doesn't the CKSyncEngine.PendingRecordZoneChange contain an array of CKRecords, not just CKRecord.IDs? According to the documentation CKSyncEngine.RecordZoneChangeBatch has a recordsToSave property, but Xcode reports 'CKSyncEngine.PendingRecordZoneChange' has no member 'recordsToSave'
I'm looking for someway to get the CKRecords from syncEngine.state.pendingRecordZoneChanges.
According to my experiments SwiftData does not work with model attributes of primitive type UInt64. More precisely, it crashes in the getter of a UInt64 attribute invoked on an object fetched from the data store.
With Core Data persistent UInt64 attributes are not a problem. Does anyone know whether SwiftData will ever support UInt64?
I have an Apple app that uses SwiftData and icloud to sync the App's data across users' devices. Everything is working well. However, I am facing the following issue:
SwiftData does not support public sharing of the object graph with other users via iCloud. How can I overcome this limitation without stopping using SwiftData?
Thanks in advance!
We worked with SwiftData, and once CloudKit was integrated, the synchronization worked well. Even if I rerun the app, it works just as well.
However, when I delete the app and reinstall it, I get a Token Expired error and CloudKit doesn't work properly.
My code is organized like this
public lazy var modelContext: ModelContext = { ModelContext(modelContainer) }()
private lazy var modelContainer: ModelContainer = {
let schema = Schema([
Entity1.self,
Entity2.self,
Entity3.self,
])
let modelConfiguration = ModelConfiguration(
schema: schema,
groupContainer: .identifier("myGroupContainer"),
cloudKitDatabase: .automatic
)
do {
return try ModelContainer(for: schema, configurations: [modelConfiguration])
} catch {
fatalError("Could not create ModelContainer: \(error)")
}
}()
The error content is as follows

Forcing the ModelContainer to be reinitialized fixes the problem,
it's a problem to get this error in the first place,
the error doesn't even go to fatal for me, so I don't even know how to verify that it's happening.
Is there something I'm doing wrong, or do you have any good ideas for solving the same problem?
Hello, I’m upgrading my app from Core Data to SwiftData. Due to my old setup the Core Data store has an explicitly name like „Something.sqlite“, because it was defined via NSPersistentContainer(name: "Something") before switching to SwiftData.
Now my goal is to migrate the Core Data stack to SwiftData, while moving it to an App Group (for Widget support) as well as enable iCloud sync via CloudKit.
Working Migration without App Group & CloudKit
I’ve managed to get my migration running without migrating it to an App Group and CloudKit support like so:
@main
struct MyAppName: App {
let container: ModelContainer
init() {
// Legacy placement of the Core Data file.
let dataUrl = URL.applicationSupportDirectory.appending(path: "Something.sqlite")
do {
// Create SwiftData container with migration and custom URL pointing to legacy Core Data file
container = try ModelContainer(
for: Foo.self, Bar.self,
migrationPlan: MigrationPlan.self,
configurations: ModelConfiguration(url: dataUrl))
} catch {
fatalError("Failed to initialize model container.")
}
}
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup {
ContentView()
}
.modelContainer(container)
}
}
How To Migrate to App Group & CloudKit?
I’ve already tried to use the ModelConfiguration with a name, but it seems to only look for a .store file and thus doesn’t copy over the Core Data contents.
let fullSchema = Schema([Foo.self, Bar.self])
let configuration = ModelConfiguration("Something", schema: fullSchema)
Can someone help me how to do this migration or point me into the right direction? I can’t find anything relating this kind of migration …
I'm currently using Xcode 16 Beta (16A5171c) and I'm getting a crash whenever I attempt to fetch using my ModelContext in my SwiftUI video using the environment I'm getting a crash specifically on iOS 18 simulators.
I've opened up a feedback FB13831520 but it's worth noting that I can run the code I'll explain in detail below on iOS 17+ simulator and devices just fine.
I'm getting the following crash:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'The specified URI is not a valid Core Data URI: x-coredata:///MyApp/XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX'
It's almost as if on iOS18 SwiftData is unable to find the file on the simulator to perform CRUD operations.
All I'm doing in my project is simply fetching data using the modelContext.
func contains(_ model: MyModel, in context: ModelContext) -> Bool {
let objId = palette.persistentModelID
let fetchDesc = FetchDescriptor<MyModel>(predicate: #Predicate { $0.persistentModelID == objId })
let itemCount = try? context.fetchCount(fetchDesc)
return itemCount != 0
}
I've just tried to update a project that uses SwiftData to Swift 6 using Xcode 16 beta 1, and it's not working due to missing Sendable conformance on a couple of types (MigrationStage and Schema.Version):
struct LocationsMigrationPlan: SchemaMigrationPlan {
static let schemas: [VersionedSchema.Type] = [LocationsVersionedSchema.self]
static let stages: [MigrationStage] = []
}
struct LocationsVersionedSchema: VersionedSchema {
static let models: [any PersistentModel.Type] = [
Location.self
]
static let versionIdentifier = Schema.Version(1, 0, 0)
}
This code results in the following errors:
error: static property 'stages' is not concurrency-safe because non-'Sendable' type '[MigrationStage]' may have shared mutable state
static let stages: [MigrationStage] = []
^
error: static property 'versionIdentifier' is not concurrency-safe because non-'Sendable' type 'Schema.Version' may have shared mutable state
static let versionIdentifier = Schema.Version(1, 0, 0)
^
Am I missing something, or is this a bug in the current seed? I've filed this as FB13862584.
When trying to run my document-based iPad app using iPadOS 18 beta and Xcode 16 beta, I get an error like the following after opening a document:
Thread 1: Fatal error: Failed to identify a store that can hold instances of SwiftData._KKMDBackingData<MyProject.MyModel> from [:]
In order to help track down what is going wrong, I downloaded the sample app from WWDC23 session "Build an app with SwiftData" found here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/building-a-document-based-app-using-swiftdata
When I try to run the end-state of that sample code, I get a similar error when running the app on my iPad and creating a new deck:
Thread 1: Fatal error: Failed to identify a store that can hold instances of SwiftData._KKMDBackingData<SwiftDataFlashCardSample.Card> from [:]
Given that the sample project is generating the same error as my own project, is this a problem with SwiftData and document-based apps in general? Or is there a change of approach that I should try?
I have a document app built using SwiftData because frankly I'm too lazy to learn how to use FileDocument. The app's title is "Artsheets," and I'm using a document type that my app owns: com.wannafedor4.ArtsheetsDoc. The exported type identifier has these values:
Description: Artsheets Document
Identifier: com.wannafedor4.ArtsheetsDoc
Conforms to: com.apple.package
Reference URL: (none)
Extensions: artsheets
MIME Types: (none)
And the code:
ArtsheetsApp.swift
import SwiftUI
import SwiftData
@main
struct ArtsheetsApp: App {
var body: some Scene {
DocumentGroup(editing: Sheet.self, contentType: .package) {
EditorView()
}
}
}
Document.swift
import SwiftUI
import SwiftData
import UniformTypeIdentifiers
@Model
final class Sheet {
var titleKey: String
@Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade) var columns: [Column]
init(titleKey: String, columns: [Column]) {
self.titleKey = titleKey
self.columns = columns
}
}
@Model
final class Column: Identifiable {
var titlekey: String
var text: [String]
init(titlekey: String, text: [String]) {
self.titlekey = titlekey
self.text = text
}
}
extension UTType {
static var artsheetsDoc = UTType(exportedAs: "com.wannafedor4.artsheetsDoc")
}
I compiling for my iPhone 13 works, but then when creating a document I get this error:
Failed to create document. Error: Error Domain=com.apple.DocumentManager Code=2 "No location available to save “Untitled”." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=No location available to save “Untitled”., NSLocalizedRecoverySuggestion=Enable at least one location to be able to save documents.}

Since the iOS 18 and Xcode 16, I've been getting some really strange SwiftData errors when passing @Model classes around.
The error I'm seeing is the following:
SwiftData/BackingData.swift:409: Fatal error: This model instance was destroyed by calling ModelContext.reset and is no longer usable.
PersistentIdentifier(id: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier.ID(url: x-coredata://34EE9059-A7B5-4484-96A0-D10786AC9FB0/TestApp/p2), implementation: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifierImplementation)
The same issue also happens when I try to retrieve a model from the ModelContext using its PersistentIdentifier and try to do anything with it. I have no idea what could be causing this.
I'm guessing this is just a bug in the iOS 18 Beta, since I couldn't find a single discussion about this on Google, I figured I'd mention it.
if someone has a workaround or something, that would be much appreciated.
I have encountered an issue that when using a ModelActor to sync data in the background, the app will crash if one of the operations is to remove a PersistentModel from the context.
This is running on the latest beta of Xcode 16 with visionOS 1.2 as target and in Swift 6 language mode.
The code is being executed in a ModelActor.
The error is first thrown by:
#5 0x00000001c3223280 in PersistentModel.getValue<τ_0_0>(forKey:) ()
Thread 1: Fatal error: Context is missing for Optional(SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier(id: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier.ID(url: x-coredata://97AA86BC-475D-4509-9004-D1182ABA1922/Reminder/p303), implementation: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifierImplementation))
func globalSync() async {
await fetchAndSyncFolders()
let result = await fetchReminders()
switch result {
case .success(let ekReminders):
var localReminders = (try? await fetch(FetchDescriptor<Reminder>())) ?? []
// Handle local reminders with nil ekReminderID by creating new EKReminders for them
for reminder in localReminders {
if reminder.ekReminderID == nil {
await self.createEkReminder(reminder: reminder)
}
}
// Re-fetch local reminders to include newly created EKReminderIDs
localReminders = (try? await fetch(FetchDescriptor<Reminder>())) ?? []
var localReminderDict = [String: Reminder]()
for reminder in localReminders {
if let ekReminderID = reminder.ekReminderID {
if let existingReminder = localReminderDict[ekReminderID] {
self.delete(model: existingReminder)
} else {
localReminderDict[ekReminderID] = reminder
}
}
}
let ekReminderDict = createReminderLookup(byID: ekReminders)
await self.syncReminders(localReminders: Array(localReminderDict.values), localReminderDict: localReminderDict, ekReminderDict: ekReminderDict)
// Merge duplicates
await self.mergeDuplicates(localReminders: localReminders)
save()
case .failure(let error):
print("Failed to fetch reminders: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
}
I have a background thread that is updating a swift data model Item using a ModelActor. The background thread runs processing an Item and updates the Item's status field. I notice that if I have a view like
struct ItemListView: View {
@Query private var items: [Items]
var body: some View {
VStack {
ForEach(items) { item in
ItemDetailView(item)
}
}
}
}
struct ItemDetailView: View {
var item: Item
var body: some View {
// expected: item.status automatically updates when the background thread updates the `Item`'s `status`.
Text(item.status)
// actual: This text never changes
}
}
Then background updates to the Item's status in SwiftData does not reflect in the ItemDetailView. However, if I inline ItemDetailView in ItemListView like this:
struct ItemListView: View {
@Query private var items: [Items]
var body: some View {
VStack {
ForEach(items) { item in
// Put the contents of ItemDetailView directly in ItemListView
Text(item.status)
// result: item.status correctly updates when the background thread updates the item.
}
}
}
}
Then the item's status text updates in the UI as expected. I suspect ItemDetailView does not properly update the UI because it just takes an Item as an input. ItemDetailView would need additional understanding of SwiftData, such as a ModelContext.
Is there a way I can use ItemDetailView to show the Item's status and have the UI show the status as updated in the background thread?
In case details about my background thread helps solve the problem, my thread is invoked from another view's controller like
@Observable
class ItemCreateController {
func queueProcessingTask() {
Task {
let itemActor = ItemActor(modelContainer: modelContainer)
await itemActor.setItem(item)
await itemActor.process()
}
}
}
@ModelActor
actor ItemActor {
var item: Item?
func setItem(_ item: Item) {
self.item = modelContext.model(for: item.id) as? Item
}
func process() async {
// task that runs processing on the Item and updates the Item's status as it goes.
}
I have an app with fairly typical requirements - I need to insert some data (in my case from the network but could be anything) and I want to do it in the background to keep the UI responsive.
I'm using SwiftData.
I've created a ModelActor that does the importing and using the debugger I can confirm that the data is indeed being inserted.
On the UI side, I'm using @Query and a SwiftUI List to display the data but what I am seeing is that @Query is not updating as the data is being inserted. I have to quit and re-launch the app in order for the data to appear, almost like the context running the UI isn't communicating with the context in the ModelActor.
I've included a barebones sample project. To reproduce the issue, tap the 'Background Insert' button. You'll see logs that show items being inserted but the UI is not showing any data.
I've tested on the just released iOS 18b3 seed (22A5307f).
The sample project is here:
https://hanchor.s3.amazonaws.com/misc/SwiftDataBackgroundV2.zip
I've already submitted this as a bug report to Apple, but I am posting here so others can save themselves some troubleshooting. This is submitted as FB14337982 with an attached complete Xcode project to replicate.
In iOS 17 we use a ModelActor to download data which is saved as an Event, and then save it to SwiftData with a relationship to a Location. In iOS 18 22A5307d we are seeing that this code no longer persists the relationship to the Location, but still saves the Event. If we put a breakpoint in that ModelActor we see that the object graph is correct within the ModelActor stack trace at the time we call modelContext.save(). However, after saving, the relationship is missing from the default.store SQLite file, and of course from the app UI.
Here is a toy example showing how inserting an Employee into a Company using a ModelActor gives unexpected results in iOS 18 22A5307d but works as expected in iOS 17.
It appears that no relationships data survives being saved in a ModelActor.ModelContext.
Also note there seems to be a return of the old bug that saving this data in the ModelActor does not update the @Query in the UI in iOS 18 but does so in iOS 17.

Hi!
I'm using CoreData + CloudKit. It works well both on macOS and iOS, however, I can't make it work with extensions (share, action, keyboard).
I get Invalid bundle ID for container error:

}
I checked everything 10x: profiles, bundle ids, entitlements, etc. I even removed all local provisioning profiles and recreated them, I also tried setting different CloudKit container, but nothing helps. I tested it on a real device.
My setup:
main app bundle id: com.org.App.dev
keyboard bundle id: com.org.App.dev.App-Keyboard
action extension bundle id: com.org.App.dev.Action-Extension
CloudKit container id: iCloud.com.org.app.dev
I keep the CoreData database in the app group container, but I also tried locally and it doesn't really matter.
This is how I setup my CoreData:
self.persistentContainer = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: "AppCoreModel")
persistentContainer.persistentStoreDescriptions = [createCloudStoreDescription()]
persistentContainer.loadPersistentStores { [self] _, error in
if let error {
logError("Could not load Core Data store \(error)")
} else {
persistentContainer.viewContext.automaticallyMergesChangesFromParent = true
persistentContainer.viewContext.mergePolicy = NSMergeByPropertyObjectTrumpMergePolicy
logDebug(persistentContainer.persistentStoreDescriptions.first?.url?.absoluteString ?? "")
logDebug("Core Data store loaded")
}
}
private func createCloudStoreDescription() -> NSPersistentStoreDescription {
let cloudStoreOptions = NSPersistentCloudKitContainerOptions(
containerIdentifier: "iCloud.com.org.app.dev"
)
cloudStoreOptions.databaseScope = .private
let documentsUrl = FileManager.default.containerURL(forSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier: AppConstants.appGroupId)!
let cloudStoreDescription = NSPersistentStoreDescription(
url: documentsUrl.appendingPathComponent("cloud-database.sqlite")
)
cloudStoreDescription.type = NSSQLiteStoreType
cloudStoreDescription.cloudKitContainerOptions = cloudStoreOptions
cloudStoreDescription.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: NSPersistentHistoryTrackingKey)
cloudStoreDescription.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: NSPersistentStoreRemoteChangeNotificationPostOptionKey)
return cloudStoreDescription
}
Any help would be highly appreciated. It seems like iOS bug, because everything seems to be configured properly. I even checked app identifiers if containers are properly assigned.

Core Data
Hi everyone,
Have anybody faced with Core Data issues, trying to migrate the project to Xcode16 beta 4?
We are using transformableAttributeType in some entities, with attributeValueClassName = "[String]" and valueTransformerName = "NSSecureUnarchiveFromData". It is working just fine for years, but now I am trying to run the project from Xcode16 and have 2 issues:
in Xcode logs I see warning and error:
CoreData: fault: Declared Objective-C type "[String]" for attribute named alertBarChannels is not valid
CoreData: Declared Objective-C type "[String]" for attribute named alertBarChannels is not valid
periodically the app crashes when we are assigning value to this attribute, with error:
Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[__NSCFConstantString characterAtIndex:]: Range or index out of bounds'
Once again, in Xcode 15 it works fine, and it was working for years.
Cannot find any information about what was changed in the framework...
Thank you in advance for any information, which could clarify what is going on.
Recently I've been working on a demo project called iLibrary. The main goal was to learn more about CloudKit and SwiftData. After a while I noticed that there were some hangs/freezes when running the app in debug mode.
I first tried this with Xcode 15.4 and iOS 17.5. Here the hang only appears at the beginning, but only for a few seconds. But when I exit debug mode, there are no more hangs.
With Xcode 16 beta 4 and iOS 18 it looks completely different. In this case, the hangs and freezes are always present, whether in debug mode or not. And it's not just at the beginning, it's throughout the app. I'm aware that this is still a beta, but I still find this weird. And when I profile this I see that the main thread gets quite overloaded. Interestingly, my app doesn't have that many operations going on. So I guess something with the sync of SwiftData or my CloudKitManger where I fetch some records from the public database is not running fine.
Lastly, I wanted to delete the iCloud app data. So I went to Settings and tried to delete it, but it didn't work. Is this normal?
Does anyone have any idea what this could be? Or has anyone encountered this problem as well? I'd appreciate any support.
