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 }

In CloudKit console, i have a key named "Name" with String data type and i want to filter my query by that key. I can only query two record with name "Star" and "Kaizen", and i can't query the rest of the records. Can you help me with that.

Hi all, I recently discovered that I forgot to deploy my CloudKit schema changes from development to production - an oversight that unfortunately went unnoticed for 2.5 months. As a result, any data created during that time was never synced to iCloud and remains only in the local CoreData store. Once I pushed the schema to production, CloudKit resumed syncing new changes as expected. However, this leaves me with a gap: there's now a significant amount of data that would be lost if users delete or reinstall the app. Before I attempt to implement a manual backup or migration strategy, I was wondering: Does NSPersistentCloudKitContainer keep track of local changes that couldn't be synced doe to the missing schema and automatically reattempt syncing them now that the schema is live? If not, what would be the best approach to ensure this "orphaned" data gets saved to CloudKit retroactively. Thanks in advance for any guidance or suggestions.

Starting 20th March 2025, I see an increase in bandwidth and latency for one of my CloudKit projects. I'm using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer to synchronise my data. I haven't changed any CloudKit scheme during that time but shipped an update. Since then, I reverted some changes from that update, which could have led to changes in the sync behaviour. Is anyone else seeing any issues? I would love to file a DTS and use one of my credits for that, but unfortunately, I can't because I cannot reproduce it with a demo project because I cannot travel back in time and check if it also has an increase in metrics during that time. Maybe an Apple engineer can green-light me filing a DTS request, please.

While reading CkSyncEngine demo project code, I don't find the code to remove items in syncEngine.state.pendingRecordZoneChanges explicitly. I suspect it might occur in two possible places: nextRecordZoneChangeBatch() or ``nextRecordZoneChangeBatch()`, but I can't figure out how it occurs. nextRecordZoneChangeBatch() has the following code: let batch = await CKSyncEngine.RecordZoneChangeBatch(pendingChanges: changes) { recordID in if let contact = contacts[recordID.recordName] { let record = contact.lastKnownRecord ?? CKRecord(recordType: Contact.recordType, recordID: recordID) contact.populateRecord(record) return record } else { // We might have pending changes that no longer exist in our database. We can remove those from the state. syncEngine.state.remove(pendingRecordZoneChanges: [ .saveRecord(recordID) ]) return nil } } (I'll ignore the syncEngine.state.remove(pendingRecordZoneChanges:) in the else clause, because it's unrelated) Could it be that CKSyncEngine.RecordZoneChangeBatch.init(pendingChanges:,recordProvider:) automatically remove a CKRecord when the recordProvider: closure returns a non-nil value? I checked its document, but it doesn't say anything about this. Thanks for any help.

I'm working on an app that is using Core Data. I have a custom big number class that boils down to a double and an integer, plus math functions. I've been using transformable types to store these big numbers, but its forcing me to do a lot of ugly casts since the number class is used throughout the application. I figure I can either have my stored values be named differently (e.g. prefix with underscore) and have a computed variable to cast it to the correct type, or find some way to move the big number class to being an NSManagedObject. The issue with this is that the inverse relationships would be massive for the big number class, since multiple entities use the class in multiple properties already. Would it be recommended that I just keep using Transformable types and casts to handle this, or is there some standard way to handle a case like this in Core Data relationships?

In core-data I have a contact and location entity. I have one-to-many relationship from contact to locations and one-to-one from location to contact. I create contact in a seperate view and save it. Later I create a location, fetch the created contact, and save it while specifying the relationship between location and contact contact and test if it actually did it and it works. viewContext.perform { do { // Set relationship using the generated accessor method currentContact.addToLocations(location) try viewContext.save() print("Saved successfully. Locations count:", currentContact.locations?.count ?? 0) if let locs = currentContact.locations { print("📍 Contact has \(locs.count) locations.") for loc in locs { print("➡️ Location: \(String(describing: (loc as AnyObject).locationName ?? "Unnamed"))") } } } catch { print("Failed to save location: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } In my NSManagedObject class properties I have this : for Contact: @NSManaged public var locations: NSSet? for Location: @NSManaged public var contact: Contact? in my persistenceController I have: for desc in [publicStore, privateStore] { desc.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: NSPersistentStoreRemoteChangeNotificationPostOptionKey) desc.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: NSPersistentHistoryTrackingKey) desc.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: NSMigratePersistentStoresAutomaticallyOption) desc.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: NSInferMappingModelAutomaticallyOption) desc.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: "CKSyncCoreDataDebug") // Optional: Debug sync // Add these critical options for relationship sync desc.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: "NSPersistentStoreCloudKitEnforceRecordExistsKey") desc.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: "NSPersistentStoreCloudKitMaintainReferentialIntegrityKey") // Add this specific option to force schema update desc.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: "NSPersistentStoreRemoteStoreUseCloudKitSchemaKey") } When synchronization happens on CloudKit side, it creates CKRecords: CD_Contact and CD_Location. However for CD_Location it creates the relationship CD_contact as a string and references the CD_Contact. This I thought should have come as REFERENCE On the CD_Contact there is no CD_locations field at all. I do see the relationships being printed on coredata side but it does not come as REFERENCE on cloudkit. Spent over a day on this. Is this normal, what am I doing wrong here? Can someone advise?

Hi, I have been looking into Core Data crashes happening when the app is in background and fault is fired due to some processing happening within the app. The stack looks like this where the line 5 just accesses a property of the NSManagedObject's subclass. Unfortunately I don't see any additional information about the exception itself. Therefore, I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on which exception the NSFaultHandler.m:395 is triggering and why. Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT) Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000 Triggered by Thread: 10 Last Exception Backtrace: 0 CoreFoundation 0x1d15b8e38 __exceptionPreprocess + 164 (NSException.m:202) 1 libobjc.A.dylib 0x1ca7478d8 objc_exception_throw + 60 (objc-exception.mm:356) 2 CoreData 0x1d8dda27c _PFFaultHandlerLookupRow + 2508 (NSFaultHandler.m:395) 3 CoreData 0x1d8e024e0 _PF_FulfillDeferredFault + 200 (NSFaultHandler.m:915) 4 CoreData 0x1d8eb8f1c _sharedIMPL_pvfk_core + 168 (NSManagedObject_Accessors.m:1198) 5 MyApp 0x103641928 closure #8 in static ChatChannel.create(fromDTO:depth:) + 304 (ChannelDTO.swift:531) At first I was thinking if this could be a case of accessing a deleted object while the context is still referencing it, but does not look like it. At least I can't reproduce it (tried deleting objects using a separate context and even with container but no crash happens). Happy to learn about different cases what could trigger exception with this stack. Notes: Contexts I use are all created with newBackgroundContext method.

Hi, I'm developing an app for iOS and MacOS with SwiftData and CloudKit syncing. I had sync working very well with a set of models. This schema was also pushed to CloudKit production. Last week I added several models, and several relationship properties linking my existing models to newly added models. The schema updated just fine and everything worked. Then things went sideways: earlier this week I decided I wanted to rename a property on one of my new models. So I renamed the property, removed the application support folder for my local debug app (on Mac OS), removed the app from the iOS Simulator (to clear its local database), and finally reset my CloudKit container to its Production schema. Basically, I tried to go back to the same state I had as when I first added the new models. However, this time things don't go so smoothly, even after starting the app several times, rebooting my machine, turning iCloud on and off in Xcode and MacOS and iOS. When I look in CloudKit console, I see only my old models there: none of the new ones are added. I'd love some pointers on how I can best debug this issue, as I feel completely stuck. On MacOS I have very little mac-logs.txt to go on. Since the logs are a bit lengthy I've added them as an attachment. I get a few warnings, but it is unclear what they are warning me about. One thing that does stand out is that I am running the CloudKit in Development mode here. However, the logs do state accountPartition=Prod . And when I query CKContainer.default() for the container environment, the response is sandbox, which matches Development! On iOS The logs show a few errors, but I cannot make sense of them. error: CoreData+CloudKit: -[NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate _performSetupRequest:]_block_invoke(1240): <NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate: 0x600003d09860>: Failed to set up CloudKit integration for store: <NSSQLCore: 0x103325c90> (URL: file:///Users/bastiaan/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/BF847CE5-A3E2-4B4C-8CD5-616B75B29AFE/data/Containers/Data/Application/0A916F67-B9B2-457B-8FA7-8C42819EA9AA/Library/Application%20Support/default.store) <CKError 0x600000c433f0: "Partial Failure" (2/1011); "Failed to modify some record zones"; partial errors: { com.apple.coredata.cloudkit.zone:__defaultOwner__ = <CKError 0x600000c956b0: "Internal Error" (1/5005); "Couldn't create new PCS blob for zone <CKRecordZoneID: 0x600000c475d0; zoneName=com.apple.coredata.cloudkit.zone, ownerName=__defaultOwner__>"> }> error: CoreData+CloudKit: -[NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate recoverFromError:](2310): <NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate: 0x600003d09860> - Attempting recovery from error: <CKError 0x600000c433f0: "Partial Failure" (2/1011); "Failed to modify some record zones"; partial errors: { com.apple.coredata.cloudkit.zone:__defaultOwner__ = <CKError 0x600000c956b0: "Internal Error" (1/5005); "Couldn't create new PCS blob for zone <CKRecordZoneID: 0x600000c475d0; zoneName=com.apple.coredata.cloudkit.zone, ownerName=__defaultOwner__>"> }> error: CoreData+CloudKit: -[NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate _recoverFromPartialError:forStore:inMonitor:]_block_invoke(2773): <NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate: 0x600003d09860>: Found unknown error as part of a partial failure: <CKError 0x600000c956b0: "Internal Error" (1/5005); "Couldn't create new PCS blob for zone <CKRecordZoneID: 0x600000c475d0; zoneName=com.apple.coredata.cloudkit.zone, ownerName=__defaultOwner__>"> error: CoreData+CloudKit: -[NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate _recoverFromPartialError:forStore:inMonitor:](2820): <NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate: 0x600003d09860>: Error recovery failed because the following fatal errors were found: { "<CKRecordZoneID: 0x600000c8fd50; zoneName=com.apple.coredata.cloudkit.zone, ownerName=__defaultOwner__>" = "<CKError 0x600000c956b0: \"Internal Error\" (1/5005); \"Couldn't create new PCS blob for zone <CKRecordZoneID: 0x600000c475d0; zoneName=com.apple.coredata.cloudkit.zone, ownerName=__defaultOwner__>\">"; } And in CloudKit logs I see: 06/11/2024, 9:09:59 UTC 738513AC-9326-42DE-B4E2-DA51F6462943 iOS;18.1 ZoneFetch EphemeralGroup { "time":"06/11/2024, 9:09:59 UTC" "database":"PRIVATE" "zone":"com.apple.coredata.cloudkit.zone" "userId":"_0d9445f850459ec351330ca0fde4134f" "operationId":"611BA98C9B10D3F2" "operationGroupName":"EphemeralGroup" "operationType":"ZoneFetch" "platform":"iPhone" "clientOS":"iOS;18.1" "overallStatus":"USER_ERROR" "error":"ZONE_NOT_FOUND" "requestId":"738513AC-9326-42DE-B4E2-DA51F6462943" "executionTimeMs":"53" "interfaceType":"NATIVE" } Any pointers are greatly appreciated!

I've realized that I need to use migration plans, but those required versioned schemas. I think I've updated mine, but I wanted to confirm if this was the proper procedure. To start, none of my models were versioned. I've since wrapped them in a VersionedSchema like this: enum TagV1: VersionedSchema { static var versionIdentifier: Schema.Version = .init(1, 0, 0) static var models: [any PersistentModel.Type] { [Tag.self] } @Model final class Tag { var id = UUID() var name: String = "" // Relationships var transactions: [Transaction]? = nil init(name: String) { self.name = name } } } I also created a type alias to point to this. typealias Tag = TagV1.Tag This is what my container looks like in my app file. var sharedModelContainer: ModelContainer = { let schema = Schema([ Tag.self ]) let modelConfiguration = ModelConfiguration(schema: schema, isStoredInMemoryOnly: false) do { return try ModelContainer(for: schema, configurations: [modelConfiguration]) } catch { fatalError("Could not create ModelContainer: \(error)") } }() The application builds and run successfully. Does this mean that my models are successfully versioned now? I'm trying to avoid an error I came across in earlier testing. That occurred because none of my models were versioned and I tried to setup a migration plan Cannot use staged migration with an unknown coordinator model version.

I'm trying to build a custom FetchRequest that I can use outside a View. I've built the following ObservableFetchRequest class based on this article: https://augmentedcode.io/2023/04/03/nsfetchedresultscontroller-wrapper-for-swiftui-view-models @Observable @MainActor class ObservableFetchRequest&lt;Result: Storable&gt;: NSObject, @preconcurrency NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate { private let controller: NSFetchedResultsController&lt;Result.E&gt; private var results: [Result] = [] init(context: NSManagedObjectContext = .default, predicate: NSPredicate? = Result.E.defaultPredicate(), sortDescriptors: [NSSortDescriptor] = Result.E.sortDescripors) { guard let request = Result.E.fetchRequest() as? NSFetchRequest&lt;Result.E&gt; else { fatalError("Failed to create fetch request for \(Result.self)") } request.predicate = predicate request.sortDescriptors = sortDescriptors controller = NSFetchedResultsController(fetchRequest: request, managedObjectContext: context, sectionNameKeyPath: nil, cacheName: nil) super.init() controller.delegate = self fetch() } private func fetch() { do { try controller.performFetch() refresh() } catch { fatalError("Failed to fetch results for \(Result.self)") } } private func refresh() { results = controller.fetchedObjects?.map { Result($0) } ?? [] } var predicate: NSPredicate? { get { controller.fetchRequest.predicate } set { controller.fetchRequest.predicate = newValue fetch() } } var sortDescriptors: [NSSortDescriptor] { get { controller.fetchRequest.sortDescriptors ?? [] } set { controller.fetchRequest.sortDescriptors = newValue.isEmpty ? nil : newValue fetch() } } internal func controllerDidChangeContent(_ controller: NSFetchedResultsController&lt;any NSFetchRequestResult&gt;) { refresh() } } Till this point, everything works fine. Then, I conformed my class to RandomAccessCollection, so I could use in a ForEach loop without having to access the results property. extension ObservableFetchRequest: @preconcurrency RandomAccessCollection, @preconcurrency MutableCollection { subscript(position: Index) -&gt; Result { get { results[position] } set { results[position] = newValue } } public var endIndex: Index { results.endIndex } public var indices: Indices { results.indices } public var startIndex: Index { results.startIndex } public func distance(from start: Index, to end: Index) -&gt; Int { results.distance(from: start, to: end) } public func index(_ i: Index, offsetBy distance: Int) -&gt; Index { results.index(i, offsetBy: distance) } public func index(_ i: Index, offsetBy distance: Int, limitedBy limit: Index) -&gt; Index? { results.index(i, offsetBy: distance, limitedBy: limit) } public func index(after i: Index) -&gt; Index { results.index(after: i) } public func index(before i: Index) -&gt; Index { results.index(before: i) } public typealias Element = Result public typealias Index = Int } The issue is, when I update the ObservableFetchRequest predicate while searching, it causes a Index out of range error in the Collection subscript because the ForEach loop (or a List loop) access a old version of the array when the item property is optional. List(request, selection: $selection) { item in VStack(alignment: .leading) { Text(item.content) if let information = item.information { // here's the issue, if I leave this out, everything works Text(information) .font(.callout) .foregroundStyle(.secondary) } } .tag(item.id) .contextMenu { if Item.self is Client.Type { Button("Editar") { openWindow(ClientView(client: item as! Client), id: item.id!) } } } } Is it some RandomAccessCollection issue or a SwiftUI bug?

I want to clear all the data in the zone, but I can't delete it. Below is my code, no logs are printed when running. static func clearData() { let coordinator = shared.container.persistentStoreCoordinator let fm = FileManager.default for d in shared.container.persistentStoreDescriptions { guard let url = d.url else { continue } do { if fm.fileExists(atPath: url.path()) { try coordinator.destroyPersistentStore(at: url, type: .sqlite) } } catch { logger.debug("Failed to delete db file, \(error)") } } for description in shared.container.persistentStoreDescriptions { guard let originalStoreURL = description.url else { continue } let walFileURL = originalStoreURL.deletingPathExtension().appendingPathExtension("sqlite-wal") let shmFileURL = originalStoreURL.deletingPathExtension().appendingPathExtension("sqlite-shm") for url in [originalStoreURL, walFileURL, shmFileURL] { do { if fm.fileExists(atPath: url.path()) { try fm.removeItem(at: url) } } catch { logger.debug("Failed to delete db file, \(error)") } } } let container = CKContainer(identifier: appContainerID) container.privateCloudDatabase.fetchAllRecordZones { zones, error in if let error = error { print("Error fetching zones: ") } else if let zone = zones?.first, zone.zoneID.zoneName == "_defaultZone" { PersistenceController.shared.container.purgeObjectsAndRecordsInZone(with: zone.zoneID, in: nil) { ckShare, error in if let error = error { print("Error purge zones: \(error)") } if ckShare == nil { print("ckShare is nil") } } } } }

Hi everyone, We’re currently using CKSyncEngine to sync all our locally persisted data across user devices (iOS and macOS) via iCloud. We’ve noticed something strange and reproducible: On iOS, when the CKSyncEngine is initialized with manual sync behavior, both manual calls to fetchChanges() and sendChanges() happen nearly instantly (usually within seconds). Automatic syncing is also very fast. On macOS, when the CKSyncEngine is initialized with manual sync behavior, fetchChanges() and sendChanges() are also fast and responsive. However, once CKSyncEngine is initialized with automatic syncing enabled on macOS: sendChanges() still appears to transmit changes immediately. But automatic fetching becomes significantly slower — often taking minutes to pick up changes from the cloud, even when new data is already available. Even manual calls to fetchChanges() behave as if they’re throttled or delayed, rather than performing an immediate fetch. Our questions: Is this delay in automatic (and post-automatic manual) fetch behavior on macOS expected, or possibly a bug? Are there specific macOS constraints that impact CKSyncEngine differently than on iOS? Once CKSyncEngine has been initialized in automatic mode, is fetchChanges() no longer treated as a truly manual trigger? Is there a recommended workaround to enable fast sync behavior on macOS — for example, by sticking to manual sync configuration and triggering sync using a CKSubscription-based mechanism when remote changes occur? Any guidance, clarification, or experiences from other developers (or Apple engineers) would be greatly appreciated — especially regarding maintaining parity between iOS and macOS sync performance. Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I am using SwiftData and cloudkit and I am having an extremely persistent bug. I am building an education section on a app that's populated with lessons via a local JSON file. I don't need this lesson data to sync to cloudkit as the lessons are static, just need them imported into swiftdata so I've tried to use the modelcontainer like this: static func createSharedModelContainer() -> ModelContainer { // --- Define Model Groups --- let localOnlyModels: [any PersistentModel.Type] = [ Lesson.self, MiniLesson.self, Quiz.self, Question.self ] let cloudKitSyncModels: [any PersistentModel.Type] = [ User.self, DailyTip.self, UserSubscription.self, UserEducationProgress.self // User progress syncs ] However, what happens is that I still get Lesson and MiniLesson record types on cloudkit and for some reason as well, whenever I update the data models or delete and reinstall the app on simulator, the lessons duplicate (what seems to happen is that a set of lessons comes from the JSON file as it should), and then 1-2 seconds later, an older set of lessons gets synced from cloudkit. I can delete the old set of lessons if I just delete the lessons and mini lessons record types, but if I update the data model again, this error reccurrs. Sorry, I don't know if I managed to explain this well but essentially I just want to stop the lessons and minilessons from being uploaded to cloudkit as I think this will fix the problem. Am I doing something wrong with the code?

The stuff I've found by searching has confused me, so hopefully someone can help simplify it for me? I have an app (I use it for logging which books I've given away), and I could either add a bunch of things to the app, or I could have another app (possibly a CLI tool) to generate some reports I'd like.

I have a CoreData model with two configuration - but several problems. Notably the viewContext only shows data from the .private configuration. Here is the setup: The private configuration holds entities, for example, User and Course and the shared one holds entities, for example, Player and League. I setup the NSPersistentStoreDescriptions to use the same container but with a databaseScope of .private/.shared and with the configuration of "Private"/"Shared". loadPersistentStores() does not report an error. If I try container.initializeCloudKitSchema() only the .private configuration produces CKRecord types. If I create a companion app using one configuration (w/ all entities) the schema initialization creates all CKRecord types AND I can populate some data in the .private and a created CKShare. I see that data in the CloudKit dashboard. If I axe the companion app and run the real thing w/ two configurations, the viewContext only has the .private data. Why? If when querying history I use NSPersistentHistoryTransaction.fetchRequest I get a nil return when using two configurations (but non-nil when using one).

Hello everyone, I am experiencing a persistent authentication error when querying a custom user profile record, and the error message seems to be a red herring. My Setup: I have a custom CKRecord type called ColaboradorProfile. When a new user signs up, I create this record and store their hashed password, salt, nickname, and a custom field called loginIdentifier (which is just their lowercase username). In the CloudKit Dashboard, I have manually added an index for loginIdentifier and set it to Queryable and Searchable. I have deployed this schema to Production. The Problem: During login, I run an async function to find the user's profile using this indexed loginIdentifier. Here is the relevant authentication code: func autenticar() async { // ... setup code (isLoading, etc.) let lowercasedUsername = username.lowercased() // My predicate ONLY filters on 'loginIdentifier' let predicate = NSPredicate(format: "loginIdentifier == %@", lowercasedUsername) let query = CKQuery(recordType: "ColaboradorProfile", predicate: predicate) // I only need these specific keys let desiredKeys = ["password", "passwordSalt", "nickname", "isAdmin", "isSubAdmin", "username"] let database = CKContainer.default().publicCloudDatabase do { // This is the line that throws the error let result = try await database.records(matching: query, desiredKeys: desiredKeys, resultsLimit: 1) // ... (rest of the password verification logic) } catch { // The error always lands here logDebug("Error authenticating with CloudKit: \(error.localizedDescription)") await MainActor.run { self.errorMessage = "Connection Error: \(error.localizedDescription)" self.isLoading = false self.showAlert = true } } } The Error: Even though my query predicate only references loginIdentifier, the catch block consistently reports this error: Error authenticating with CloudKit: Field 'createdBy' is not marked queryable. I know createdBy (the system creatorUserRecordID) is not queryable by default, but my query isn't touching that field. I already tried indexing createdBy just in case, but the error persists. It seems CloudKit cannot find or use my index for loginIdentifier and is incorrectly reporting a fallback error related to a system field. Has anyone seen this behavior? Why would CloudKit report an error about createdBy when the query is explicitly on an indexed, custom field? I'm new to Swift and I'm struggling quite a bit. Thank you,

After upgrading to iOS 18, my Core Data stack using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer in a shared App Group container stopped syncing correctly. The persistent store configuration, which previously worked in iOS 17, now experiences delayed or missing sync updates between devices. Then the app freezes and writes terminal the same error detail (which I provided) too many times. The debug logs from the CloudKit mirroring delegate (NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate) show repetitive notifications but no updates in persistent history. Additionally, the persistent history tracking key appears unresponsive to local changes, causing transactions to fail in updating or syncing as expected. Key setup details: Core Data is set up within an App Group container using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer. NSPersistentHistoryTrackingKey and NSPersistentStoreRemoteChangeNotificationPostOptionKey options are set to true. Any insights into changes in iOS 18 Core Data or CloudKit handling with NSPersistentCloudKitContainer, especially around history tracking and sync delays, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have a document based SwiftData app in which I would like to implement a persistent cache. For obvious reasons, I would not like to store the contents of the cache in the documents themselves, but in my app's data directory. Is a use case, in which a document based SwiftData app uses not only the ModelContainers from the currently open files, but also a ModelContainer writing a database file in the app's documents directory (for cache, settings, etc.) supported? If yes, how can you inject two different ModelContexts, one tied to the currently open file and one tied to the local database, into a SwiftUI view?
