relationshipKeyPathsForPrefetching in SwiftData does not seem to work here when scrolling down the list. Why?
I would like all categories to be fetched while posts are fetched - not while scrolling down the list.
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
QueryList(
fetchDescriptor: withCategoriesFetchDescriptor
)
}
var withCategoriesFetchDescriptor: FetchDescriptor<Post> {
var fetchDescriptor = FetchDescriptor<Post>()
fetchDescriptor.relationshipKeyPathsForPrefetching = [\.category]
return fetchDescriptor
}
}
struct QueryList: View {
@Query
var posts: [Post]
init(fetchDescriptor: FetchDescriptor<Post>) {
_posts = Query(fetchDescriptor)
}
var body: some View {
List(posts) { post in
VStack {
Text(post.title)
Text(post.category?.name ?? "")
.font(.footnote)
}
}
}
}
@Model
final class Post {
var title: String
var category: Category?
init(title: String) {
self.title = title
}
}
@Model final class Category {
var name: String
init(name: String) {
self.name = name
}
}

I'm developing a SwiftUI app using SwiftData and encountering a persistent issue:
Error Message:
Thread 1: Fatal error: Duplicate keys of type 'Bland' were found in a Dictionary.
This usually means either that the type violates Hashable's requirements, or that members of such a dictionary were mutated after insertion.
Details:
Occurrence: The error always occurs on the first launch of the app after installation. Specifically, it happens approximately 1 minute after the app starts.
Inconsistent Behavior: Despite no changes to the code or server data, the error occurs inconsistently.
Data Fetching Process:
I fetch data for entities (Bland, CrossZansu, and Trade) from the server using the following process:
Fetch Bland and CrossZansu entities via URLSession.
Insert or update these entities into the SwiftData context.
The fetched data is managed as follows:
func refleshBlandsData() async throws {
if let blandsOnServer = try await DataModel.shared.getBlands() {
await MainActor.run {
blandsOnServer.forEach { blandOnServer in
if let blandOnLocal = blandList.first(where: { $0.code == blandOnServer.code }) {
blandOnLocal.update(serverBland: blandOnServer)
} else {
modelContext.insert(blandOnServer.bland)
}
}
}
}
}
This is a simplified version of my StockListView. The blandList is a @Query property and dynamically retrieves data from SwiftData:
struct StockListView: View {
@Environment(\.modelContext) private var modelContext
@Query(sort: \Bland.sname) var blandList: [Bland]
@Query var users: [User]
@State private var isNotLoaded = true
@State private var isLoading = false
@State private var loadingErrorState = ""
var body: some View {
NavigationStack {
List {
ForEach(blandList, id: \.self) { bland in
NavigationLink(value: bland) {
Text(bland.sname)
}
}
}
.navigationTitle("Stock List")
.onAppear {
doIfFirst()
}
}
}
// This function handles data loading when the app launches for the first time
func doIfFirst() {
if isNotLoaded {
loadDataWithAnimationIfNotLoading()
isNotLoaded = false
}
}
// This function ensures data is loaded with an animation and avoids multiple triggers
func loadDataWithAnimationIfNotLoading() {
if !isLoading {
isLoading = true
Task {
do {
try await loadData()
} catch {
// Capture and store any errors during data loading
loadingErrorState = "Data load failed: \(error.localizedDescription)"
}
isLoading = false
}
}
}
// Fetch data from the server and insert it into the SwiftData model context
func loadData() async throws {
if let blandsOnServer = try await DataModel.shared.getBlands() {
for bland in blandsOnServer {
// Avoid inserting duplicate keys by checking for existing items in blandList
if !blandList.contains(where: { $0.code == bland.code }) {
modelContext.insert(bland.bland)
}
}
}
}
}
Entity Definitions:
Here are the main entities involved:
Bland:
@Model
class Bland: Identifiable {
@Attribute(.unique) var code: String
var sname: String
@Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade, inverse: \CrossZansu.bland)
var zansuList: [CrossZansu]
@Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade, inverse: \Trade.bland)
var trades: [Trade]
}
CrossZansu:
@Model
class CrossZansu: Equatable {
@Attribute(.unique) var id: String
var bland: Bland?
}
Trade:
@Model
class Trade {
@Relationship(deleteRule: .nullify)
var user: User?
var bland: Bland
}
User:
class User {
var id: UUID
@Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade, inverse: \Trade.user)
var trades: [Trade]
}
Observations:
Error Context: The error occurs after the data is fetched and inserted into SwiftData. This suggests an issue with Hashable requirements or duplicate keys being inserted unintentionally.
Concurrency Concerns: The fetch and update operations are performed in asynchronous tasks. Could this cause race conditions?
Questions:
Could this issue be related to how @Relationship and @Attribute(.unique) are managed in SwiftData?
What are potential pitfalls with Equatable implementations (e.g., in CrossZansu) when used in SwiftData entities?
Are there any recommended approaches for debugging "Duplicate keys" errors in SwiftData?
Additional Info:
Error Timing: The error occurs only during the app's first launch and consistently within the first minute.
For the past several days every time I log in to to the Cloudkit dashboard I get Error looking up Developer Teams, Please sign out and try again. No amount of singing out and back in changes anything.
I am using SwiftData for storage and have a view that uses the @Query property wrapper with a sort descriptor that points to a relationship on a model. In a release build on device running iOS 18.3, the app crashes.
This is the line that crashes:
@Query(sort: \Item.info.endDate, order: .reverse) private var items: [Item]
Item has a relationship to ItemInfo, which is where the endDate property is defined. This code works in debug and on a simulator.
In the project referenced here: https://github.com/lepolt/swiftdata-crash, change the scheme build configuration to “Release” and run on device. The app will crash.
Using Xcode Version 16.2 (16C5032a)
iPhone 12, iOS 18.3 (22D60)
I'm unable to view Changes or Diff View in the Deploy Schema Changes Dialog due to an Internal Error.
I am trying to migrate my Core Data model to a new version with a new attribute added to it. Since my app supports macOS 13 I am not able to use the newly introduced Staged migrations.
After much digging I found that the app is not able to find the Mapping Model when one of the attribute has "Preserve after deletion" enabled.
I have enabled migration debbuging using
com.apple.CoreData.MigrationDebug 1
I am getting following error
error: CoreData: error: (migration) migration failed with error Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=134140 "Persistent store migration failed, missing mapping model."
What is the way out here?
Some of my customer get the following CloudKit error (I cannot reproduce is myself).
Failed to modify some records (CKErrorDomain:2)
userInfo: CKErrorDescription:Failed to modify some records CKPartialErrors:{
"<CKRecordID: ooo; recordName=ooo, zoneID=ooo:__defaultOwner__>"
= "<CKError 0x600003809ce0: \"Limit Exceeded\" (27/2023); server message = \"AssetUploadTokenRetrieveRequest request size exceeds limit\";
op = ooo; uuid = ooo; container ID = \"ooo\">"
This is a CKError.limitExeeded error.
I create 200 or less records in a batch operation. So I am below the 400 limit.
Searching the Internet for "AssetUploadTokenRetrieveRequest request size exceeds limit": 0 results
Can anyone give me a hint?
Perhaps I just have the wrong expectations, but I discovered some odd behavior from SwiftData that sure seems like a bug to me...
If you make any change to any SwiftData model object — even just setting a property to its current value — every SwiftUI view that uses SwiftData is rebuilt. Every query and every entity reference, even if the property was set on a model class that is completely unrelated to the view.
SwiftUI does such a good job of optimizing UI updates that it's hard to notice the issue. I only noticed it because the updates were triggering my debug print statements.
To double-check this, I went back to Apple's new iOS app template — the one that is just a list of dated items — and added a little code to touch an unrelated record in the background:
@Model
class UnrelatedItem {
var name: String
init(name: String) {
self.name = name
}
}
@main
struct jumpyApp: App {
var sharedModelContainer: ModelContainer = {
let schema = Schema([
Item.self,
UnrelatedItem.self
])
let modelConfiguration = ModelConfiguration(schema: schema, isStoredInMemoryOnly: false)
do {
return try ModelContainer(for: schema, configurations: [modelConfiguration])
} catch {
fatalError("Could not create ModelContainer: \(error)")
}
}()
init() {
let context = sharedModelContainer.mainContext
// Create 3 items at launch so we immediately have some data to work with.
if try! context.fetchCount(FetchDescriptor<Item>()) == 0 {
for _ in 0..<3 {
let item = Item(timestamp: Date())
context.insert(item)
}
}
// Now create one unrelated item.
let unrelatedItem = UnrelatedItem(name: "Mongoose")
context.insert(unrelatedItem)
try? context.save()
// Set up a background task that updates the unrelated item every second.
Task {
while true {
try? await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 1_000_000_000)
Task { @MainActor in
// We don't even have to change the name or save the contxt.
// Just setting the name to the same value will trigger a change.
unrelatedItem.name = "Mongoose"
}
}
}
}
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup {
ContentView()
}
.modelContainer(sharedModelContainer)
}
}
I also added a print statement to the ContentView so I could see when the view updates.
struct ContentView: View {
@Environment(\.modelContext) private var modelContext
@Query private var items: [Item]
var body: some View {
NavigationSplitView {
List {
let _ = Self._printChanges()
...
The result is that the print statement logs 2 messages to the debug console every second. I checked in iOS 17, 18.1, and 18.2, and they all behave this way.
Is this the intended behavior? I thought the whole point of the new Observation framework in iOS 17 was to track which data had changed and only send change notifications to observers who were using that data.
What is the idiomatic way to use a ModelContext in a document based SwiftData app from a background thread?
The relevant DocumentGroup initializers do not give us direct access to a ModelContainer, only to a ModelContext.
Is it safe to take its modelContext.container and pass it around (for creating a ModelContext on it on a background thread) or to construct a ModelActor with it? Is it safe to e.g. put a ModelActor so created into the environment of the root view of the window and execute various async data operations on it in Tasks throughout the app, as long as these are dispatched from within the window whose root view's ModelContext was used for getting the ModelContainer?
I am running into some issues when trying to destroy CoreData persistentStores. When a user logs out of my app, I want to completely reset CoreData and delete any existing data. My code to reset CoreData looks like this:
let coordinator = self.persistentContainer.persistentStoreCoordinator
self.persistentContainer.viewContext.reset()
coordinator.persistentStores.forEach { store in
guard let url = store.url else { return }
do {
try coordinator.destroyPersistentStore(at: url, type: .sqlite)
_ = try coordinator.addPersistentStore(ofType: NSSQLiteStoreType, configurationName: nil, at: url)
} catch {
print(error)
}
}
However, my app is crashing with
Object 0xb2b5cc80445813de <x-coredata://BDB999D4-49A4-4CB3-AC3A-666AD60BEFC6/AccountEntity/p5> persistent store is not reachable from this NSManagedObjectContext's coordinator
It seems this is related to the SwiftUI @FetchRequest wrappers. If I do not open the views where I am using @FetchRequest, the logout goes smoothly. Otherwise, I get the crash above.
Has anyone run into anything similar? Is there something else I need to do to get the underlying FRC to release its references to those entities? I was under the impression that calling reset() on the managed object context would be enough to remove those items from memory and get the destroying of the persistent store to go smoothly.
Alternately, is there another/better way I should be destroying the DB?
Any advice or related observations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
I'm running into an undocumented error coming back from CloudKit operations.
Specifically, I'm attempting to save new records via CKModifyRecordsOperation. I'm receiving this error for each of the records in the perRecordSaveBlock callback:
<CKError 0x3018ac3c0: "Internal Error" (1/3001); "MMCSEngineCreate failed">
Is anyone else facing this error? It has been happening for several days and I'm finally getting around to reproduction with the Console app and logs. I have 16 records on my device locally that each one gets this error back.
FB16547732 - CloudKit: CKModifyRecordsOperation saving new records results in Error <CKError 0x3018ac1e0: "Internal Error" (1/3001); "MMCSEngineCreate failed">
Hello everyone,
I used SwiftData for v1 of an app and am now trying to make changes to the schema for v2. I created the v2 schema that adds a property to one of the models.
I need to populate the new property so I made a custom migration using didMigrate. However that doesn't seem to matter what I do in the migration because creating the ModelContainer throws an error before didMigrate ever gets called.
The error is:
Unresolved error loading container Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=134060 "A Core Data error occurred." UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=Instances of NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate are not reusable and should have a lifecycle tied to a given instance of NSPersistentStore.}
Higher up in the Xcode output I see things like this (in order):
Request 'D25A8CB8-7341-4FA8-B2F8-3DE2D35B5273' was cancelled because the store was removed from the coordinator.
BUG IN CLIENT OF CLOUDKIT: Registering a handler for a CKScheduler activity identifier that has already been registered
CloudKit setup failed because it couldn't register a handler for the export activity. There is another instance of this persistent store actively syncing with CloudKit in this process.
How can I know from this output what I am doing incorrectly?
Any idea what I should take a look at or try to do differently?
This is a simple app with three models and nothing fancy. The only change in the schema is to add a property. The new property is declared as optional and has an inverse that is also declared as optional.
Thanks for any insight!
Hi all, I've contacted Apple about this privately but I wanted to post this publicly too just to see if anyone else is experiencing the same issue. We use CloudKit to store "documents" (we'll call them) for our users. We use it directly, not via CoreData etc but through the lower level APIs.
This has been working great for the last 9 months or so. Since a few days ago we've started receiving reports from users that their data has disappeared without a trace from their app. Obviously this is very serious and severe for us. We keep a local copy of the users data but if CloudKit tells us this data has been deleted we remove that local copy to keep in sync.
Nothing has changed client side in terms of our code, and the only way we can see that could cause this, is a fetch that we perform asking for a list of the users "documents" is returning no rows/results, or possibly returning rows with invalid or missing fields.
We have about 30,000 active users per day (1.5m requests/day) using CloudKit and we have only a handful of reports of this. Again this only started happening this week after 9 months of good service.
Has anyone else noticed anything "strange" lately, fetches returning empty? fields missing? Is anyone at Apple aware of any recent changes to CloudKit? or outages? We're really unsure how or who should handle this and who we can escalate to? Any help appreciated.
We have a workaround/mitigation on the way through review at the moment but this is a really big problem for us if we can't rely on CloudKit to remember users data reliably.
DESCRIPTION
I have an App use iCloud to save data.
The App had a CoreData ManagedObject 'Product', 'Product' Object had an attribute name 'count' and it is a Double Type.
I need to synchronises 'count' property across multiple devices.
for example:
I have a devices A、B.
A device set 'Product.count' = 100.
B device set 'Product.count' = 50.
I hope the 'Product.count' == 150 that results.
how to synchronises the 'Product.count' == 150 for multiple devices.
If I have more devices in future, How to get the latest 'Product.count' that it is correct result.
Swift recently added support for Int128. However, they do need NOT seem to be supported in SwiftData. Now totally possible I'm doing something wrong too.
I have the project set to macOS 15 to use a UInt128 in @Model class as attribute. I tried using a clean Xcode project with Swift Data choosen in the macOS app wizard.
Everything compiles, but it fails at runtime in both my app and "Xcode default" SwiftData:
SwiftData/SchemaProperty.swift:380: Fatal error: Unexpected property within Persisted Struct/Enum: Builtin.Int128
with the only modification to from stock is:
@Model
final class Item {
var timestamp: Date
var ipv6: UInt128
init(timestamp: Date) {
self.timestamp = timestamp
self.ipv6 = 0
}
}
I have tried both Int128 and UInt128. Both fails exactly the same. In fact, so exactly, when using UInt128 it still show a "Int128" in error message, despite class member being UInt128 .
My underlying need is to store an IPv6 addresses with an app, so the newer UInt128 would work to persist it. Since Network Framework IPv6Address is also not compatible, it seems, with SwiftData. So not a lot of good options, other an a String. But for an IPv6 address that suffers from that same address can take a few String forms (i.e. "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000" =="0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0" == "::") which is more annoying than having a few expand Int128 as String separator ":".
Ideas welcomed. But potentially a bug in SwiftData since Int128 is both a Builtin and conforms to Codable, so from my reading it should work.
Does anyone have this error and my app can't be searched in the Apple Store

Core Data
After a recent iOS update, my app is not synching between devices. I'm not seeing or getting any errors. CLoudKit Logs show activity, but it's not happening realtime. Even if I close and reopen the app, it won't sync between devices. It almost looks like it only has local storage now and CloudKit is not working on it anymore.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Use app on two devices with the same Apple ID. Create a user and one device and it won't show up on the other device. Vice Versa.

I'm experiencing a persistent issue with CloudKit sharing in my iOS application. When attempting to present a UICloudSharingController, I receive the error message "Unknown client: ChoreOrganizer" in the console.
App Configuration Details:
App Name: ChoreOrganizer
Bundle ID: com.ProgressByBits.ChoreOrganizer
CloudKit Container ID: iCloud.com.ProgressByBits.ChoreOrganizer
Core Data Model Name: ChoreOrganizer.xcdatamodeld
Core Data Entity: Chore
Error Details:
The error "Unknown client: ChoreOrganizer" occurs when I present the UICloudSharingController
This happens only on the first attempt to share; subsequent attempts during the same app session don't show the error but sharing still doesn't work
All my code executes successfully without errors until UICloudSharingController is presented
Implementation Details:
I'm using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer for Core Data synchronization and UICloudSharingController for sharing. My implementation creates a custom CloudKit zone, saves both a record and a CKShare in that zone, and then presents the sharing controller.
Here's the relevant code:
@MainActor
func presentSharing(from viewController: UIViewController) async throws {
// Create CloudKit container
let container = CKContainer(identifier: containerIdentifier)
let database = container.privateCloudDatabase
// Define custom zone ID
let zoneID = CKRecordZone.ID(zoneName: "SharedChores", ownerName: CKCurrentUserDefaultName)
do {
// Check if zone exists, create if necessary
do {
_ = try await database.recordZone(for: zoneID)
} catch {
let newZone = CKRecordZone(zoneID: zoneID)
_ = try await database.save(newZone)
}
// Create record in custom zone
let recordID = CKRecord.ID(recordName: "SharedChoresRoot", zoneID: zoneID)
let rootRecord = CKRecord(recordType: "ChoreRoot", recordID: recordID)
rootRecord["name"] = "Shared Chores Root" as CKRecordValue
// Create share
let share = CKShare(rootRecord: rootRecord)
share[CKShare.SystemFieldKey.title] = "Shared Tasks" as CKRecordValue
// Save both record and share in same operation
let recordsToSave: [CKRecord] = [rootRecord, share]
_ = try await database.modifyRecords(saving: recordsToSave, deleting: [])
// Present sharing controller
let sharingController = UICloudSharingController(share: share, container: container)
sharingController.delegate = shareDelegate
// Configure popover
if let popover = sharingController.popoverPresentationController {
popover.sourceView = viewController.view
popover.sourceRect = CGRect(
x: viewController.view.bounds.midX,
y: viewController.view.bounds.midY,
width: 1, height: 1
)
popover.permittedArrowDirections = []
}
viewController.present(sharingController, animated: true)
} catch {
throw error
}
}
Steps I've already tried:
Verified correct bundle ID and container ID match in all places (code, entitlements file, Developer Portal)
Added NSUbiquitousContainers configuration to Info.plist
Ensured proper entitlements in the app
Created and configured proper provisioning profiles
Tried both default zone and custom zone for sharing
Various ways of saving the record and share (separate operations, same operation)
Cleaned build folder, deleted derived data, reinstalled the app
Tried on both simulator and physical device
Confirmed CloudKit container exists in CloudKit Dashboard with correct schema
Verified iCloud is properly signed in on test devices
Console Output:
1. Starting sharing process
2. Created CKContainer with ID: iCloud.com.ProgressByBits.ChoreOrganizer
3. Using zone: SharedChores
4. Checking if zone exists
5. Zone exists
7. Created record with ID: <CKRecordID: 0x3033ebd80; recordName=SharedChoresRoot, zoneID=SharedChores:__defaultOwner__>
8. Created share with ID: <CKRecordID: 0x3033ea920; recordName=Share-C4701F43-7591-4436-BBF4-6FA8AF3DF532, zoneID=SharedChores:__defaultOwner__>
9. About to save record and share
10. Records saved successfully
11. Creating UICloudSharingController
12. About to present UICloudSharingController
13. UICloudSharingController presented
Unknown client: ChoreOrganizer
Additional Information:
When accessing the CloudKit Dashboard, I can see that data is being properly synced to the cloud, indicating that the basic CloudKit integration is working. The issue appears to be specific to the sharing functionality.
I would greatly appreciate any insights or solutions to resolve this persistent "Unknown client" error. Thank you for your assistance.
I am implementing a custom migration, and facing an issue while implementing a WAL checkpointing.
Here is the code for WAL checkpointing
func forceWALCheckpointingForStore(at storeURL: URL, model: NSManagedObjectModel) throws {
let persistentStoreCoordinator = NSPersistentStoreCoordinator(managedObjectModel: model)
let options = [NSSQLitePragmasOption: ["journal_mode": "DELETE"]]
let store = try persistentStoreCoordinator.addPersistentStore(type: .sqlite, at: storeURL, options: options)
try persistentStoreCoordinator.remove(store)
}
When the coordinator tries to add the store I am getting the following error
fault: Store opened without NSPersistentHistoryTrackingKey but previously had been opened with NSPersistentHistoryTrackingKey - Forcing into Read Only mode store
My questions are
Is it really necessary to force WAL checkpointing before migration? I am expecting NSMigrationManager to handle it internally. I am assuming this because the migrateStore function asks for the sourceType where I am passing StoreType.sqlite
If checkpointing is required, then how do I address the original issue
Note:
Since my app supports macOS 13, I am not able to use the newly introduced Staged migrations.
