I am working on a software where we want to add the feature to share the whole database with the other user. Database is iCloud combined with coredata. The other user(s) should be able to edit /delete and even create new objects in the share. I did this with this code witch directly from sample code let participants = try await ckConainer.fetchParticipants(matching: [lookupInfo], into: selectedStore) for participant in participants { participant.permission = .readWrite participant.role = .privateUser share.addParticipant(participant) } try await ckConainer.persistUpdatedShare(share, in: selectedStore) the other user gets invited and I can see this in iCloud database that the other user is invited with status invited. but the other user never gets a mail or something to accept and join the share. How does the other needs to accept the invitation ?

I want to get to a point where I can use a small view with a query for my SwiftData model like this: @Query private var currentTrainingCycle: [TrainingCycle] init(/*currentDate: Date*/) { _currentTrainingCycle = Query(filter: #Predicate<TrainingCycle> { $0.numberOfDays > 0 // $0.startDate < currentDate && currentDate < $0.endDate }, sort: \.startDate) } The commented code is where I want to go. In this instance, it'd be created as a lazy var in a viewModel to have it stable (and not constantly re-creating the view). Since it was not working, I thought I could check the same view with a query that does not require any dynamic input. In this case, the numberOfDays never changes after instantiation. But still, each time the app tries to create this view, the app becomes unresponsive, the CPU usage goes at 196%, memory goes way high and the device heats up quickly. Am I holding it wrong? How can I have a dynamic predicate on a View in SwiftUI with SwiftData?

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).

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?

I’m trying to build a CRUD app using SwiftData, @Query model and multidatepicker. The data from a multidatepicker is stored or persists in SwiftData as Set = []. My current dilemma is how to use SwiftData and @Query model Predicate to find all records on the current date. I can’t find any SwiftData documentation or examples @Query using Set = []. My CRUD app should retrieve all records for the current date. Unfortunately, I don’t know the correct @Query model syntax for Set = [].

I have a simple model that contains a one-to-many relationship to itself to represent a simple tree structure. It is set to cascade deletes so deleting the parent node deletes the children. Unfortunately I get an error when I try to batch delete. A test demonstrates: @Model final class TreeNode { var parent: TreeNode? @Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade, inverse: \TreeNode.parent) var children: [TreeNode] = [] init(parent: TreeNode? = nil) { self.parent = parent } } func testBatchDelete() throws { let config = ModelConfiguration(isStoredInMemoryOnly: true) let container = try ModelContainer(for: TreeNode.self, configurations: config) let context = ModelContext(container) context.autosaveEnabled = false let root = TreeNode() context.insert(root) for _ in 0..<10 { let child = TreeNode(parent: root) context.insert(child) } try context.save() // fails if first item doesn't have a nil parent, succeeds otherwise // which row is first is random, so will succeed sometimes try context.delete(model: TreeNode.self) } The error raised is: CoreData: error: Unhandled opt lock error from executeBatchDeleteRequest Constraint trigger violation: Batch delete failed due to mandatory OTO nullify inverse on TreeNode/parent and userInfo { NSExceptionOmitCallstacks = 1; NSLocalizedFailureReason = "Constraint trigger violation: Batch delete failed due to mandatory OTO nullify inverse on TreeNode/parent"; "_NSCoreDataOptimisticLockingFailureConflictsKey" = ( ); } Interestingly, if the first record when doing an unsorted query happens to be the parent node, it works correctly, so the above unit test will actually work sometimes. Now, this can be "solved" by changing the reverse relationship to an optional like so: @Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade, inverse: \TreeNode.parent) var children: [TreeNode]? The above delete will work fine. However, this causes issues with predicates that test counts in children, like for instance deleting only nodes where children is empty for example: try context.delete(model: TreeNode.self, where: #Predicate { $0.children?.isEmpty ?? true }) It ends up crashing and dumps a stacktrace to the console with: An uncaught exception was raised Keypath containing KVC aggregate where there shouldn't be one; failed to handle children.@count (the stacktrace is quite long and deep in CoreData's NSSQLGenerator) Does anyone know how to work around this?

I'm looking for guidance how to mitigate this crash. It seems super deep inside Core Data' FRC fetchedObjects management. In my code, it's initiated by this viewContext.perform { [unowned self] in self.viewContext.mergeChanges(fromContextDidSave: notification) } which is directly followed by the stack trace below. Basically merging data from .NSManagedObjectContextDidSave notification from another NSManagedObjectContext. Nothing special, it works great for years, apart from these rare occurrences.

My question Is there a way to perform an iCloud keychain reset in order to be able to test CKErrorUserDidResetEncryptedDataKey ? I found this section in the CloudKit documentation https://developer.apple.com/documentation/cloudkit/encrypting-user-data#Handle-a-User-Keychain-Reset I want to be prepared for the zoneNotFound / CKErrorUserDidResetEncryptedDataKey case. However, I can't find a way to actually reproduce this error with an iCloud (test-) user and can't find any Apple documentation on how to perform sucha "User Keychain Reset". The only thing that almost looked like it I came across was in the Keychain.app's Settings "Reset Default Keychains…". However, performing this didn't seem to affect the CloudKit data used in our App at all. I've been trying to do this with an Apple account that has 2FA active and a recovery account assigned. We're only targetting >= iOS 18, macOS >= 15.

I'm using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer to save, edit, and delete items, but it only works half of the time. When I delete an item and terminate the app and repoen, sometimes the item is still there and sometimes it isn't. The operations are simple enough: moc.delete(thing) try? moc.save() Here is my DataController. I'm happy to provide more info as needed class DataController: ObservableObject { let container: NSPersistentCloudKitContainer @Published var moc: NSManagedObjectContext init() { container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: "AppName") container.loadPersistentStores { description, error in if let error = error { print("Core Data failed to load: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } #if DEBUG do { try container.initializeCloudKitSchema(options: []) } catch { print("Error initializing CloudKit schema: \(error.localizedDescription)") } #endif moc = container.viewContext } }

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?

Is there a way to view the data saved when using swiftdata? Even after deleting all models, the storage space taken up by the app in Settings is too large.

I would like to have a SwiftData predicate that filters against an array of PersistentIdentifiers. A trivial use case could filtering Posts by one or more Categories. This sounds like something that must be trivial to do. When doing the following, however: let categoryIds: [PersistentIdentifier] = categoryFilter.map { $0.id } let pred = #Predicate<Post> { if let catId = $0.category?.persistentModelID { return categoryIds.contains(catId) } else { return false } } The code compiles, but produces the following runtime exception (XCode 26 beta, iOS 26 simulator): 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'unimplemented SQL generation for predicate : (TERNARY(item != nil, item, nil) IN {}) (bad LHS)' Strangely, the same code works if the array to filter against is an array of a primitive type, e.g. String or Int. What is going wrong here and what could be a possible workaround?

Hi! I use Tips with CloudKit and it works very well, however when a user want to remove their data from CloudKit, how to do that? In CoreData with CloudKit area, NSPersistentCloudKitContainer have purgeObjectsAndRecordsInZone to delete both local managed objects and CloudKit records, however there is no information about the TipKit deletion. Does anyone know ideas?

If use a SortDescriptor for a model and sort by some attribute from a relationship, in DEBUG mode it all works fine and sorts. However, in release mode, it is an instant crash. SortDescriptor(.name, order: .reverse) ---- works SortDescriptor(.assignedUser?.name, order: .reverse) ---- works in debug but crash in release. What is the issue here, is it that SwiftData just incompetent to do this?

I found that the enumerateItems function is only called when a directory is opened for the first time. If the same directory is opened in the future, enumerateItems will not be called again. Can you set or actively trigger the call to the enumerateItems function

I've noticed that SwiftData's @Relationship seems to potentially cause application crashes. The crash error is shown in the image. Since this crash appears to be random and I cannot reproduce it under specific circumstances, I can only temporarily highlight that this issue seems to exist. @Model final class TrainInfo { @Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade, inverse: \StopStation.trainInfo) var stations: [StopStation]? } @Model final class StopStation { @Relationship var trainInfo: TrainInfo? } /// some View var origin: StopStationDisplayable? { if let train = train as? TrainInfo { return train.stations?.first(where: { $0.isOrigin }) ?? train.stations?.first(where: { $0.isStarting }) } return nil } // Some other function or property func someFunction() { if let origin, let destination { // Function implementation } }

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?

I am working with SwiftData and get the below error. I can't find any documentation on it to see what to fix. Any help would be appreciated. Fatal error: This relationship already has a value but it's not the target:

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?

I have made a Swift App for MacOS 15 under XCode 16.3, which runs fine. I also want to run it under the previous MacOS 14. Unfortunately it crashes without even starting up (it does not even reach the first log output statement on the first view) The crash reason is Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread Exception Type: EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION (SIGILL) Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000001, 0x0000000000000000 Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 4 Illegal instruction: 4 Terminating Process: exc handler [2970] I have set the miminium deployment to MacOS 14.0 but to no effect. The XCode machine is a MacOS 15.4 on Arm M3 and the target machine is MacOS 14.7.5 on Intel (MacBook Air) I think it might be related to the compiler and linker settings.
