I have the following code running on macOS and iOS:
CKQuerySubscription *zsub = [[CKQuerySubscription alloc] initWithRecordType:ESS_CLOUDCONTROLLER_RECORDTYPE_PUSHNOTE predicate:[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"TRUEPREDICATE"] subscriptionID:@"pushZSub" options:CKQuerySubscriptionOptionsFiresOnRecordUpdate|CKQuerySubscriptionOptionsFiresOnRecordCreation|CKQuerySubscriptionOptionsFiresOnRecordDeletion];
zsub.zoneID = zid;
CKNotificationInfo *inf = [[CKNotificationInfo alloc] init];
inf.shouldSendContentAvailable = YES;
inf.desiredKeys = @[ESS_PN_RECORDFIELD_KEY_OVERALLDATE];
zsub.notificationInfo = inf;
CKModifySubscriptionsOperation *msop = [[CKModifySubscriptionsOperation alloc] initWithSubscriptionsToSave:@[zsub] subscriptionIDsToDelete:nil];
msop.qualityOfService = NSQualityOfServiceUserInitiated;
msop.modifySubscriptionsCompletionBlock = ^(NSArray<CKSubscription *> * _Nullable savedSubscriptions, NSArray<CKSubscriptionID> * _Nullable deletedSubscriptionIDs, NSError * _Nullable operationError) {
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
if (savedSubscriptions.count == 1) { //works also when already created.
compH(YES, nil);
} else {
compH(NO, nil);
}
});
};
[self.database addOperation:msop];
(code synopsis: after i create a custom zone (not shown in code), I add a ckquerysubscription to it for a specific record type, configured as a silent notification)
When I change the according record in my Mac app, I get an immediate silent push on iOS.
On macOS, however, after I change the record in my iOS app, I don't get one. Sometimes, one silent push makes it through every now and then a minute+ late or so, and after that, it's going missing again.
What's the deal? Everything's set up correctly (com.apple.developer.aps-environment is set, container-identifiers are the same, icloud services are the same, ubiquity-kvstore-identifier are the same).
I obviously register for remote notifications in both apps. I see all the records and subscriptions and zones in both the Mac and iOS app.
I tried setting alertBody to an empty string, or soundName to an empty string, or both to an empty string: no difference
I tried having different subscriptions for my Mac and iOS app, since they use different bundle ids, but that was merged into one subscription server-side, so I'm thinking that's not it
I tried making it not-silent by setting contentAvailable to NO and adding a full alertBody, title and subtitle. Again, worked on iOS, not on macOS.
This has been going on since macOS 14 Sonoma (when I first got reports of this. Now running on macOS 26.3). Before Sonoma, it worked just fine.
Now I thought perhaps it's because I had a subscription on the default zone, and not a custom one, so I tried subscribing to changes on a record in a custom zone (see code above), but that did not change anything either.
It's all working fine, only the push notifications are not making it through to the Mac app.
If I sudo killall apsd (kill the push service daemon), the last push notification suddenly miraculously makes it through, by the way.
At this point, I'm out of ideas and would very much appreciate pointers as to how to debug this. Polling every 30 seconds for changes is so 1990s.
Speaking of which, this is a rather long-time-running app (started in 2011). Could my CloudKit database be “too old” or “corrupted” or whatever?
Thank you kindly,
– Matthias

I'm trying to use the new (in tvOS 26) video streaming service automatic login API from the VideoSubscriberAccount framework:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/videosubscriberaccount/vsuseraccountmanager/autosignintoken-swift.property
It seems that this API requires an entitlement. This document suggests that the com.apple.smoot.subscriptionservice entitlement is required.
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/videosubscriberaccount/signing-people-in-to-media-apps-automatically
However, it seems more likely that com.apple.developer.video-subscriber-single-sign-on is the correct entitlement.
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com.apple.developer.video-subscriber-single-sign-on
Which is the correct entitlement and how do I obtain it?
I don't want to fully comply with the video partner program.
https://developer.apple.com/programs/video-partner/
I just want to use this one new automatic login feature.
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'm building a photo editing app with a token-based subscription system using RevenueCat and StoreKit. Users purchase subscriptions that grant tokens for AI generations. There are no user accounts, the app is fully anonymous.
Currently, I generate an anonymous account ID via RevenueCat SDK and store it in iCloud Keychain. This allows users on the same iCloud account to restore both their subscription and token balance across devices. However, users on a different iCloud account can restore their subscription via Apple, but their token balance is lost because there's no way to link the anonymous IDs.
The problem is that if a user switches iCloud accounts or gets a new device without the same iCloud, their purchased tokens are orphaned. The subscription restores fine through Apple, but the token balance tied to the old anonymous ID becomes inaccessible.
I have a few constraints: no user accounts, no email or phone sign-in, must work across devices owned by the same person, and must comply with App Store guidelines.
My questions are: Is iCloud Keychain the right tool for this, or is there a better approach? Would CloudKit with an anonymous record zone be more appropriate? Are there any recommended patterns for persisting consumable balances tied to anonymous users across device migrations?
Any guidance would be appreciated.

iCloud & Data
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?
Testing Environment: iOS 18.4.1 / macOS 15.4.1
I am working on an iOS project that aims to utilize the user's iCloud Drive documents directory to save a specific directory-based file structure. Essentially, the app would create a root directory where the user chooses in iCloud Drive, then it would populate user generated files in various levels of nested directories.
I have been attempting to use NSMetadataQuery with various predicates and search scopes but haven't been able to get it to directly monitor changes to files or directories that are not in the root directory.
Instead, it only monitors files or directories in the root directory, and any changes in a subdirectory are considered an update to the direct children of the root directory.
Example
iCloud Drive Documents (Not app's ubiquity container)
User Created Root Directory (Being monitored)
File A
Directory A
File B
An insertion or deletion within Directory A would only return a notification with userInfo containing data for NSMetadataQueryUpdateChangedItemsKey relating to Directory A, and not the file or directory itself that was inserted or deleted. (Query results array also only contain the direct children.)
I have tried all combinations of these search scopes and predicates with no luck:
query.searchScopes = [
rootDirectoryURL,
NSMetadataQueryUbiquitousDocumentsScope,
NSMetadataQueryAccessibleUbiquitousExternalDocumentsScope,
]
NSPredicate(value: true)
NSPredicate(format: "%K LIKE '*.md'", NSMetadataItemFSNameKey)
NSPredicate(format: "%K BEGINSWITH %@", NSMetadataItemPathKey, url.path(percentEncoded: false))
I do see these warnings in the console upon starting my query:
[CRIT] UNREACHABLE: failed to get container URL for com.apple.CloudDocs
[ERROR] couldn't fetch remote operation IDs: NSError: Cocoa 257 "The file couldn’t be opened because you don’t have permission to view it."
"Error returned from daemon: Error Domain=com.apple.accounts Code=7 "(null)""
But I am not sure what to make of that, since it does act normally for finding updates in the root directory.
Hopefully this isn't a limitation of the API, as the only alternative I could think of would be to have multiple queries running for each nested directory that I needed updates for.

Hi,
I am experiencing main thread freezes from fetching on Main Actor. Attempting to move the function to a background thread, but whenever I reference the TestModel in a nonisolated context or in another model actor, I get this warning:
Main actor-isolated conformance of 'TestModel' to 'PersistentModel' cannot be used in actor-isolated context; this is an error in the Swift 6 language mode
Is there a way to do this correctly?
Recreation, warning on line 13:
class TestModel {
var property: Bool = true
init() {}
}
struct SendableTestModel: Sendable {
let property: Bool
}
@ModelActor
actor BackgroundActor {
func fetch() throws -> [SendableTestModel] {
try modelContext.fetch(FetchDescriptor<TestModel>()).map { SendableTestModel(property: $0.property) }
}
}
We are currently implementing a custom iCloud sync for our macOS and iOS apps using CloudKit. Syncing works fine as long as the number of record sends is relatively small.
But when we test with a large number of changes ( 80,000+ CKRecords ) we start running into problems.
Our sending strategy is very conservative to avoid rate limits:
We send records sequentially in batches of 250 records
With about 2 seconds pause between operations
Records are small and contain no assets (assets are uploaded separately)
At some point we start receiving:
“Database commit size exceeds limit”
After that, CloudKit begins returning rate-limit errors with retryAfter-Information in the error.
We wait for the retry time and try again, but from this moment on, nothing progresses anymore. Every subsequent attempt fails.
We could not find anything in the official documentation regarding such a “commit size” limit or what triggers this failure state.
So my questions are:
Are there undocumented limits on the total number of records that can exist in an iCloud database (private or shared)?
Is there a maximum volume of record modifications a container can accept within a certain timeframe, even if operations are split into small batches with pauses?
Is it possible that sending large numbers of records in a row can temporarily or permanently “stall” a CloudKit container?
Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
我正在使用 Core Data 开发一个 SwiftUI 项目。我的数据模型中有一个名为 AppleUser 的实体,具有以下属性:id (UUID)、name (String)、email (String)、password (String) 和 createdAt (Date)。所有属性都是非可选的。
我使用 Xcode 的自动生成创建了相应的 Core Data 类文件(AppleUser+CoreDataClass.swift 和 AppleUser+CoreDataProperties.swift)。我还有一个 PersistenceController,它使用模型名称 JobLinkModel 初始化 NSPersistentContainer。
当我尝试使用以下方法保存新的 AppleUser 对象时:
让用户 = AppleUser(上下文:viewContext)
user.id = UUID()
user.name = “用户 1”
user.email = “...”
user.password = “密码 1”
user.createdAt = Date()【电子邮件格式正确,但已替换为“...”出于隐私原因】
尝试?viewContext.save()
我在控制台中收到以下错误:核心数据保存失败:Foundation._GenericObjCError.nilError, [:]
用户快照: [“id”: ..., “name”: “User1”, “email”: “...”, “password”: “...”, “createdAt”: ...]
所有字段都有有效值,核心数据模型似乎正确。我还尝试过:
• 检查 NSPersistentContainer(name:) 中的模型名称是否与 .xcdatamodeld 文件 (JobLinkModel) 匹配
• 确保正确设置 AppleUser 实体类、模块和 Codegen(类定义、当前产品模块)
• 删除重复或旧的 AppleUser 类文件
• 清理 Xcode 构建文件夹并从模拟器中删除应用程序
• 对上下文使用 @Environment(.managedObjectContext)
尽管如此,在保存新的 AppleUser 对象时,我仍然会收到 _GenericObjCError.nilError。
我想了解:
为什么即使所有字段都不是零且正确分配,核心数据也无法保存?
这可能是由于一些残留的旧类文件引起的,还是我缺少设置中的其他内容?
我应该采取哪些步骤来确保 Core Data 正确识别 AppleUser 实体并允许保存?
任何帮助或指导将不胜感激。
The NSMetadataUbiquitousItemDownloadingStatusKey indicates the status of a ubiquitous (iCloud Drive) file.
A key value of NSMetadataUbiquitousItemDownloadingStatusDownloaded is defined as indicating there is a local version of this file available. The most current version will get downloaded as soon as possible .
However this no longer occurs since iOS 18.4. A ubiquitous file may remain in the NSMetadataUbiquitousItemDownloadingStatusDownloaded state for an indefinite period.
There is a workaround: call [NSFileManager startDownloadingUbiquitousItemAtURL: error:] however this shouldn't be necessary, and introduces delays over the previous behaviour.
Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Is this a permanent change?

I'm writing some tests to confirm the behavior of my app. White creating a model actor to delete objects I realized that ModelContext.model(for:) does return objects that are deleted. I was able to reproduces this with this minimal test case:
@Model class Activity {
init() {}
}
struct MyLibraryTests {
let modelContainer = try! ModelContainer(
for: Activity.self,
configurations: ModelConfiguration(
isStoredInMemoryOnly: true
)
)
init() throws {
let context = ModelContext(modelContainer)
context.insert(Activity())
try context.save()
}
@Test func modelForIdAfterDelete() async throws {
let context = ModelContext(modelContainer)
let id = try context.fetch(FetchDescriptor<Activity>()).first!.id
context.delete(context.model(for: id) as! Activity)
try context.save()
let result = context.model(for: id) as? Activity
#expect(result == nil) // Expectation failed: (result → MyLibrary.Activity) == nil
}
@Test func fetchDescriptorAfterDelete() async throws {
let context = ModelContext(modelContainer)
let id = try context.fetch(FetchDescriptor<Activity>()).first!.id
context.delete(context.model(for: id) as! Activity)
try context.save()
let result = try context.fetch(
FetchDescriptor<Activity>(predicate: #Predicate { $0.id == id })
).first
#expect(result == nil)
}
}
Here I create a new context, insert an model and save it.
The test modelForIdAfterDelete does fail, as result still contains the deleted object.
I also tried to check #expect(result!.isDeleted), but it is also false.
With the second test I use a FetchDescriptor to retrieve the object by ID and it correctly returns nil.
Shouldn't both methods use a consistent behavior?
I'm developing an app that uses CloudKit synchronization with SwiftData and on visionOS I added an App Settings bundle. I have noticed that sometimes, when the app is open and the user changes a setting from the App Settings bundle, the following fatal error occurs:
SwiftData/BackingData.swift:831: Fatal error: This model instance was destroyed by calling ModelContext.reset and is no longer usable.
The setting is read within the App struct in the visionOS app target using @AppStorage and this value is in turn used to set the passthrough video dimming via the .preferredSurroundingsEffect modifier. The setting allows the user to specify the dimming level as dark, semi dark, or ultra dark.
The fatal error appears to occur intermittently although the first time it was observed was after adding the settings bundle. As such, I suspect there is some connection between those code changes and this fatal error even though they do not directly relate to SwiftData.
Does anyone have this error and my app can't be searched in the Apple Store
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.
Hi everyone,
I am experiencing an iCloud provisioning problem I cannot resolve, and Developer Support has not been able to help.
My App ID:
com.exaqservices.ArkyvTiles
Symptoms:
1. In Xcode (v16.2), enabling iCloud in Signing & Capabilities repeatedly fails with:
The app ID does not include the iCloud container. Click Try Again.
Clicking Try Again does nothing. The error persists forever.
2. In Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles:
• The iCloud capability is enabled for this App ID.
• The CloudKit container is selected.
• But the portal no longer shows the “iCloud Documents” checkbox, which used to be required for ubiquitous document support.
3. Xcode cannot regenerate provisioning profiles because it claims the App ID is missing the iCloud container — even though the container is attached.
4. Provisioning profiles on the Apple Developer site all appear expired, and new ones do not generate correctly.
5. The App Store Connect interface also does not show an iCloud Services section under App Information → Capabilities as older guides describe.
Expected Behavior:
Since iCloud and the CloudKit container are enabled on the App ID, Xcode should successfully enable:
• com.apple.developer.icloud-services
• com.apple.developer.icloud-container-identifiers
• com.apple.developer.ubiquity-container-identifiers (if needed)
• com.apple.developer.ubiquity-kvstore-identifier
Instead, the entitlements never propagate.
What I suspect:
This seems like an App ID metadata mismatch or a stale backend entry where:
• the CloudKit container is attached but the entitlement isn’t linked,
• the “iCloud Documents” flag is missing due to a UI transition,
• provisioning profiles cannot be regenerated because the App ID is not updating correctly.
What I need help with:
Can someone from Apple engineering confirm:
• Whether my App ID metadata is corrupted,
• If entitlements need to be manually refreshed,
• Or if the “iCloud Documents” toggle has moved or is no longer exposed?
This is blocking development completely — I cannot build, sign, or deploy the app with iCloud.
Thank you!

Using SwiftData and this is the simplest example I could boil down:
@Model
final class Item {
var timestamp: Date
var tag: Tag?
init(timestamp: Date) {
self.timestamp = timestamp
}
}
@Model
final class Tag {
var timestamp: Date
init(timestamp: Date) {
self.timestamp = timestamp
}
}
Notice Tag has no reference to Item.
So if I create a bunch of items and set their Tag. Later on I add the ability to delete a Tag. Since I haven't added inverse relationship Item now references a tag that no longer exists so so I get these types of errors:
SwiftData/BackingData.swift:875: Fatal error: This model instance was invalidated because its backing data could no longer be found the store. PersistentIdentifier(id: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier.ID(url: x-coredata://EEC1D410-F87E-4F1F-B82D-8F2153A0B23C/Tag/p1), implementation: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifierImplementation)
I think I understand now that I just need to add the item reference to Tag and SwiftData will nullify all Item references to that tag when a Tag is deleted.
But, the damage is already done. How can I iterate through all Items that referenced a deleted tag and set them to nil or to a placeholder Tag? Or how can I catch that error and fix it when it comes up?
The crash doesn't occur when loading an Item, only when accessing item.tag?.timestamp, in fact, item.tag?.id is still ok and doesn't crash since it doesn't have to load the backing data.
I've tried things like just looping through all items and setting tag to nil, but saving the model context fails because somewhere in there it still tries to validate the old value.
Thanks!
I'm implementing SwiftData with inheritance in an app.
I have an Entity class with a property name. This class is inherited by two other classes: Store and Person. The Entity model has a one-to-many relationship with a Transaction class.
I can list all my Entity models in a List with a @Query annotation without a problem.
However, then I try to access the name property of an Entity from a Transaction relationship, the app crashes with the following error:
Thread 1: Fatal error: Never access a full future backing data - PersistentIdentifier(id: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier.ID(backing: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier.PersistentIdentifierBacking.managedObjectID(0x96530ce28d41eb63 <x-coredata://DABFF7BB-C412-474E-AD50-A1F30AC6DBE9/Person/p4>))) with Optional(F07E7E23-F8F0-4CC0-B282-270B5EDDC7F3)
From my attempts to fix the issue, I noticed that:
The crash seems related to the relationships with classes that has inherit from another class, since it only happens there.
When I create new data, I can usually access it without any problem. The crash mostly happens after reloading the app.
This error has been mentioned on the forum (for example here), but in a context not related with inheritance.
You can find the full code here.
For reference, my models looks like this:
@Model
class Transaction {
@Attribute(.unique)
var id: String
var name: String
var date: Date
var amount: Double
var entity: Entity?
var store: Store? { entity as? Store }
var person: Person? { entity as? Person }
init(
id: String = UUID().uuidString,
name: String,
amount: Double,
date: Date = .now,
entity: Entity? = nil,
) {
self.id = id
self.name = name
self.amount = amount
self.date = date
self.entity = entity
}
}
@Model
class Entity: Identifiable {
@Attribute(.preserveValueOnDeletion)
var name: String
var lastUsedAt: Date
@Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade, inverse: \Transaction.entity)
var operations: [Transaction]
init(
name: String,
lastUsedAt: Date = .now,
operations: [Transaction] = [],
) {
self.name = name
self.lastUsedAt = lastUsedAt
self.operations = operations
}
}
@available(iOS 26, *)
@Model
class Store: Entity {
@Attribute(.unique) var id: String
var locations: [Location]
init(
id: String = UUID().uuidString,
name: String,
lastUsedAt: Date = .now,
locations: [Location] = [],
operations: [Transaction] = []
) {
self.locations = locations
self.id = id
super.init(name: name, lastUsedAt: lastUsedAt, operations: operations)
}
}
In order to reproduce the error:
Run the app in the simulator.
Click the + button to create a new transaction.
Relaunch the app, then click on any transaction.
The app crashes when it tries to read te name property while building the details view.
Hi, I am building an iOS app with SwiftUI and SwiftData for the first time and I am experiencing a lot of difficulty with this error:
Thread 44: Fatal error: Never access a full future backing data - PersistentIdentifier(id: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier.ID(backing: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier.PersistentIdentifierBacking.managedObjectID(<ID> <x-coredata://<UUID>/MySwiftDataModel/p1>)), backing: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier.PersistentIdentifierBacking.managedObjectID(<ID> <x-coredata://<UUID>/MySwiftDataModel/p1>)) with Optional(<UUID>)
I have been trying to figure out what the problem is, but unfortunately I cannot find any information in the documentation or on other sources online. My only theory about this error is that it is somehow related to fetching an entity that has been created in-memory, but not yet saved to the modelContext in SwiftData.
However, when I am trying to debug this, it's not clear this is the case. Sometimes the error happens, sometimes it doesn't. Saving manually does not always solve the error.
Therefore, it would be extremely helpful if someone could explain what this error means and whether there are any best practices to do with SwiftData, or some pitfalls to avoid (such as wrapping my model context into a repository class).
To be clear, this problem is NOT related to one area of my code, it happens throughout my app, at unpredictable places and time. Given that there is very little information related to this error, I am at a loss at how to make sure that this never happens.
This question has been asked on the forum here as well as on StackOverflow, Reddit (can't link that here), but none of the answers worked for me.
For reference, my models generally look like this:
import Foundation
import SwiftData
@Model
final class MySwiftDataModel {
// Stable cross-device identity
@Attribute(.unique)
var uuid: UUID
var someNumber: Int
var someString: String
@Relationship(deleteRule: .nullify, inverse: \AnotherSwiftDataModel.parentModel)
var childModels: [AnotherSwiftDataModel]
init(uuid: UUID = UUID(), someNumber: Int = 1, someString: String = "Some", childModels: [AnotherSwiftDataModel] = []) {
self.uuid = uuid
self.someNumber = someNumber
self.someString = someString
self.childModels = childModels
}
func addChildModel(model: AnotherSwiftDataModel) {
self.childModels.append(model)
}
func removeChildModel(by id: PersistentIdentifier) {
self.childModels = self.childModels.filter { $0.id != id }
}
}
and the child model:
import Foundation
import SwiftData
@Model
final class AnotherSwiftDataModel {
// Stable cross-device identity
@Attribute(.unique)
var uuid: UUID
var someNumber: Int
var someString: String
var parentModel: MySwiftDataModel?
init(uuid: UUID = UUID(), someNumber: Int = 1, someString: String = "Some") {
self.uuid = uuid
self.someNumber = someNumber
self.someString = someString
}
}
For now, you can assume I am not using CloudKit - i know for a fact the error is unrelated to CloudKit, because it happens when I am not using CloudKit (so I do not need to follow CloudKit's requirements for model design, such as nullable values etc).
As I said, the error surfaces at different times - sometimes during assignments, a lot of times during deletions of related models, etc.
Could you please explain what I am doing wrong and how I can make sure that this error does not happen? What are the architectural patterns that work best for SwiftData in this case? Do you have any examples of things I should avoid?
Thanks
Hello, thank you Apple for supporting custom store with SwiftData and the Schema type is superb to work with. I have successfully set one up with SQL and have some feedback and issues regarding its APIs.
There’s a highlighted message in the documentation about not using internal restricted symbols directly, but they contradict with the given protocols and I am concerned about breaking any App Store rules. Are we allowed to use these? If not, they should be opened up as they’re useful.
BackingData is required to set up custom snapshots, initialization, and getting/setting values. And I want to use it with createBackingData() to directly initialize instances from snapshots when transferring them between server and client or concurrency.
RelationshipCollection for casting to-many relationships from backing data or checking if an array contains a PersistentModel.
SchemaProperty for type erasure in a collection.
Schema.Relationship has KeyPath properties, but it is missing for Schema.Attribute and Schema.CompositeAttribute. Which means you can’t purely depend on the schema to map data. I am unable to access the properties of a custom struct type in a predicate unless I use Mirror with schemaMetadata() or CustomStringConvertible on the KeyPath directly to extract it.
Trivial, but… the KeyPath property name is inconsistent (it’s all lowercase).
It would be nice to retrieve property names from custom struct types, since you are unable access CodingKeys that are auto synthesized by Codable for structs. But I recently realized they’re a part Schema.CompositeAttribute, however I don’t know how to match these without the KeyPath…
I currently map my entities using CodingKeys to their PredicateCodableKeyPathProviding.… but I wish for a simpler alternative!
It’s unclear how to provide the schema to the snapshot before new models are created.
I currently use a static property, but I want to make it flexible if more schemas and configurations are added later on.
I considered saving and loading the schema in a temporary location, but doubtful that the KeyPath values will be available as they are not Codable.
I suspect schemaMetadata() has the information I need to map the backing data without a schema for snapshots, but as mentioned previously, properties are inaccessible…
Allow access to entity metatypes, like value types from SchemaProperty. They’re useful for getting data out of snapshots and casting them to CodingKeys and PredicateCodableKeyPathProviding. They do not carry over when you provide them in the Schema.
I am unable to retrieve the primary key from PersistentIdentifier.
It seems like once you create one, you can’t get it out, like the DataStoreConfiguration in ModelContainer is not the one you used to set it up. I cannot cast it, it is an entirely different struct?
I have to use JSONSerialization to extract it, but I want to get it directly since it is not a column in my database. It is transformed when it goes to/from my tables.
It’s unknown how to support some schema options, such as Spotlight and CloudKit.
Allow for extending macro options, such as adding options to set as primary key, whether to auto increment, etc…
You can create a schema for super and sub entities, but it doesn’t appear you can actually set them up from the @Model macro or use inheritance on these models…
SwiftData history tracking seems incomplete for HistoryDelete, because that protocol requires HistoryTombstone, but this type cannot be instantiated, nor does it contain anything useful to infer from.
As an aside, I want to create my own custom ModelActor that is a global actor. However, I’m unable to replicate the executor that Apple provides where the executor has a ModelContext, because this type does not conform to Sendable. So how did Apple do this? The documentation doesn’t mention unchecked Sendable, but I figure if the protocol is available then we would be able to set up our own.
And please add concurrency features!
Anyway, I hope for more continued support in the future and I am looking forward to what’s new this WWDC! 😊
Greetings i have an app that uses three different SwiftData models and i want to know what is the best way to use the them accross the app. I though a centralized behaviour and i want to know if it a correct approach.First let's suppose that the first view of the app will load the three models using the @Enviroment that work with @Observation. Then to other views that add data to the swiftModels again with the @Environment. Another View that will use the swiftData models with graph and datas for average and min and max.Is this a corrent way? or i should use @Query in every view that i want and ModelContext when i add the data.
@Observable
class CentralizedDataModels {
var firstDataModel: [FirstDataModel] = []
var secondDataModel: [SecondDataModel] = []
var thirdDataModel: [ThirdDataModel] = []
let context: ModelContext
init(context:ModelContext) {
self.context = context
}
}
