Hi everyone, I’m currently developing a SwiftUI app that uses SwiftData with CloudKit sharing enabled. The app works fine on my own Apple ID, and local syncing with iCloud is functioning correctly — but sharing with other Apple IDs consistently fails. Setup: SwiftUI + SwiftData using a ModelContainer with .shared configuration Sharing UI is handled via UICloudSharingController iCloud container: iCloud.com.de.SkerskiDev.FoodGuard Proper entitlements enabled (com.apple.developer.icloud-services, CloudKit, com.apple.developer.coredata.cloudkit.containers, etc.) Automatic provisioning profiles created by Xcode Error:<CKError 0x1143a2be0: "Bad Container" (5/1014); "Couldn't get container configuration from the server for container iCloud.com.de.SkerskiDev.FoodGuard"> What I’ve tried: Verified the iCloud container is correctly created and enabled in the Apple Developer portal Checked bundle identifier and container settings Rebuilt and reinstalled the app Ensured correct iCloud entitlements and signing capabilities Questions: Why does CloudKit reject the container for sharing while local syncing works fine? Are there known issues with SwiftData .shared containers and multi-user sharing? Are additional steps required (App Store Connect, privacy settings) to allow sharing with other Apple IDs? Any advice, experience, or example projects would be greatly appreciated. 🙏 Thanks! Sebastian

Since publishing new record types to my CloudKit schema in production, a previously unchanged record type has stopped indexing new records. While records of this type are successfully saved without errors, they are not returned in query results—they can only be accessed directly via their recordName. This issue occurs exclusively in the Production environment, both in the CloudKit Console and our iOS app. The problem began on July 21, 2025, and continues to persist. The issue affects only new records of this specific record type; all other types are indexing and querying as expected. The affected record's fields are properly configured with the appropriate index types (e.g., QUERYABLE) and have been not been modified prior to publishing the schema. With this, are there any steps I should take to restore indexing functionality for this record type in Production? There have been new records inserted, and I would prefer to not have to reset the production database, if possible.

I have some models in my app: [SDPlanBrief.self, SDAirport.self, SDChart.self, SDIndividualRunwayAirport.self, SDLocationBrief.self] SDLocationBrief has a @Relationship with SDChart When I went live with my app I didn't have a versioned schema, but quickly had to change that as I needed to add items to my SDPlanBrief Model. The first versioned schema I made included only the model that I had made a change to. static var models: [any PersistentModel.Type] { [SDPlanBrief.self] } I had made zero changes to my model container and the whole time, and it was working fine. The migration worked well and this is what I was using: .modelContainer(for: [SDAirport.self, SDIndividualRunwayAirport.self, SDLocationBrief.self, SDChart.self, SDPlanBrief.self]) I then saw that to do this all properly, I should actually include ALL of my @Models in the versioned schema: enum AllSwiftDataSchemaV3: VersionedSchema { static var models: [any PersistentModel.Type] { [SDPlanBrief.self, SDAirport.self, SDChart.self, SDIndividualRunwayAirport.self, SDLocationBrief.self] } static var versionIdentifier: Schema.Version = .init(2, 0, 0) } extension AllSwiftDataSchemaV3 { @Model class SDPlanBrief { var destination: String etc... init(destination: String, etc...) { self.destination = destination etc... } } @Model class SDAirport { var catABMinima: String etc... init(catABMinima: String etc...) { self.catABMinima = catABMinima etc... } } @Model class SDChart: Identifiable { var key: String etc... var brief: SDLocationBrief? // @Relationship with SDChart init(key: String etc...) { self.key = key etc... } } @Model class SDIndividualRunwayAirport { var icaoCode: String etc... init(icaoCode: String etc...) { self.icaoCode = icaoCode etc... } } @Model class SDLocationBrief: Identifiable { var briefString: String etc... @Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade, inverse: \SDChart.brief) var chartsArray = [SDChart]() init( briefString: String, etc... chartsArray: [SDChart] = [] ) { self.briefString = briefString etc... self.chartsArray = chartsArray } } } This is ALL my models in here btw. I saw also that modelContainer needed updating to work better for versioned schemas. I changed my modelContainer to look like this: actor ModelContainerActor { @MainActor static func container() -> ModelContainer { let schema = Schema( versionedSchema: AllSwiftDataSchemaV3.self ) let configuration = ModelConfiguration() let container = try! ModelContainer( for: schema, migrationPlan: PlanBriefMigrationPlan.self, configurations: configuration ) return container } } and I am passing in like so: .modelContainer(ModelContainerActor.container()) Each time I run the app now, I suddenly get this message a few times in a row: CoreData: error: Attempting to retrieve an NSManagedObjectModel version checksum while the model is still editable. This may result in an unstable verison checksum. Add model to NSPersistentStoreCoordinator and try again. I typealias all of these models too for the most recent V3 version eg: typealias SDPlanBrief = AllSwiftDataSchemaV3.SDPlanBrief Can someone see if I am doing something wrong here? It seems my TestFlight users are experiencing a crash every now and then when certain views load (I assume when accessing @Query objects). Seems its more so when a view loads quickly, like when removing a subscription view where the data may not have had time to load??? Can someone please have a look and help me out.

In the CloudKit logs I see logs that suggest users getting QUOTA_EXCEEDED error for RecordDelete operations. { "time":"21/07/2025, 7:57:46 UTC" "database":"PRIVATE" "zone":"***" "userId":"***" "operationId":"***" "operationGroupName":"2.3.3(185)" "operationType":"RecordDelete" "platform":"iPhone" "clientOS":"iOS;18.5" "overallStatus":"USER_ERROR" "error":"QUOTA_EXCEEDED" "requestId":"***" "executionTimeMs":"177" "interfaceType":"NATIVE" "recordInsertBytes":54352 "recordInsertCount":40 "returnedRecordTypes":"_pcs_data" } I'm confused as to what this means? Why would a RecordDelete operation have recordInsertBytes? I'd expect a RecordDelete operation to never fail on quotaExceeded and how would I handle that in the app?

I built a SwiftData App that relies on CloudKit to synchronize data across devices. That means all model relationships must be expressed as Optional. That’s fine, but there is a limitation in using Optional’s in SwiftData SortDescriptors (Crashes App) That means I can’t apply a SortDescriptor to ModelA using some property value in ModelB (even if ModelB must exist) I tried using a computed property in ModelA that referred to the property in ModelB, BUT THIS DOESN”T WORK EITHER! Am I stuck storing redundant data In ModelA just to sort ModelA as I would like???

Hi, I'm getting a very odd error log in my SwiftData setup for an iOS app. It is implemented to support schema migration. When starting the app, it simply prints the following log twice (seems to be dependent on how many migration steps, I have two steps in my sample code): CoreData: error: Attempting to retrieve an NSManagedObjectModel version checksum while the model is still editable. This may result in an unstable verison checksum. Add model to NSPersistentStoreCoordinator and try again. (Yes there is a mistyped word "verison", this is exactly the log) The code actually fully works. But I have neither CloudKit configured, nor is this app in Production yet. I'm still just developing. Here is the setup and code to reproduce the issue. Development mac version: macOS 15.5 XCode version: 16.4 iOS Simulator version: 18.5 Real iPhone version: 18.5 Project name: SwiftDataDebugApp SwiftDataDebugApp.swift: import SwiftUI import SwiftData @main struct SwiftDataDebugApp: App { var sharedModelContainer: ModelContainer = { let schema = Schema([ Item.self, ]) let modelConfiguration = ModelConfiguration(schema: schema, isStoredInMemoryOnly: false, allowsSave: true) do { return try ModelContainer(for: schema, migrationPlan: ModelMigraitonPlan.self, configurations: [modelConfiguration]) } catch { fatalError("Could not create ModelContainer: \(error)") } }() var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } .modelContainer(sharedModelContainer) } } Item.swift: import Foundation import SwiftData typealias Item = ModelSchemaV2_0_0.Item enum ModelSchemaV1_0_0: VersionedSchema { static var versionIdentifier = Schema.Version(1, 0, 0) static var models: [any PersistentModel.Type] { [Item.self] } @Model final class Item { var timestamp: Date init(timestamp: Date) { self.timestamp = timestamp } } } enum ModelSchemaV2_0_0: VersionedSchema { static var versionIdentifier = Schema.Version(2, 0, 0) static var models: [any PersistentModel.Type] { [Item.self] } @Model final class Item { var timestamp: Date var tags: [Tag] = [] init(timestamp: Date, tags: [Tag]) { self.timestamp = timestamp self.tags = tags } } } enum ModelMigraitonPlan: SchemaMigrationPlan { static var schemas: [any VersionedSchema.Type] { [ModelSchemaV1_0_0.self] } static var stages: [MigrationStage] { [migrationV1_0_0toV2_0_0] } static let migrationV1_0_0toV2_0_0 = MigrationStage.custom( fromVersion: ModelSchemaV1_0_0.self, toVersion: ModelSchemaV2_0_0.self, willMigrate: nil, didMigrate: { context in let items = try context.fetch(FetchDescriptor<ModelSchemaV2_0_0.Item>()) for item in items { item.tags = Array(repeating: "abc", count: Int.random(in: 0...3)).map({ Tag(value: $0) }) } try context.save() } ) } Tag.swift: import Foundation struct Tag: Codable, Hashable, Comparable { var value: String init(value: String) { self.value = value } static func < (lhs: Tag, rhs: Tag) -> Bool { return lhs.value < rhs.value } static func == (lhs: Tag, rhs: Tag) -> Bool { return lhs.value == rhs.value } func hash(into hasher: inout Hasher) { hasher.combine(value) } } ContentView.swift: import SwiftUI import SwiftData struct ContentView: View { @Environment(\.modelContext) private var modelContext @Query private var items: [Item] var body: some View { VStack { List { ForEach(items) { item in VStack(alignment: .leading) { Text(item.timestamp, format: Date.FormatStyle(date: .numeric, time: .standard)) HStack { ForEach(item.tags, id: \.hashValue) { tag in Text("\(tag.value)") } } } } .onDelete(perform: deleteItems) } Button("Add") { addItem() } .padding(.top) } } private func addItem() { withAnimation { let newItem = Item(timestamp: Date(), tags: [Tag(value: "Hi")]) modelContext.insert(newItem) } do { try modelContext.save() } catch { print("Error saving add: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } private func deleteItems(offsets: IndexSet) { withAnimation { for index in offsets { modelContext.delete(items[index]) } } do { try modelContext.save() } catch { print("Error saving delete: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } } #Preview { ContentView() .modelContainer(for: Item.self, inMemory: true) } I hope someone can help, couldn't find anything related to this log at all.

Hey all, This is my first app with Swift, and first app using CloudKit / iCloud - although I have launched other iOS app successfully. When I created the app, I selected "none" for storage my bundle identifier looks like this: io.mysite.appname I have the iCloud capability added, with CloudKit checked, and the container also checked that looks like this: iCloud.io.mysite.appname Push Notificaitons capability is also added, but there is no configuration. I have tried automatically managed signing, as well as a manually created provisioning profile.. Every time I build the app onto my device - when I check it out in settings, icloud is not listed. When I go through iCloud into icloud drive, the app is also not listed. I have cleaned the build many times, deleted and reinstalled the app on my phone many times. I am definitely logged into iCloud etc. Obviously I have spent plenty of times trying to debug with various LLMs, but we all seem to be at a loss for what I'm missing or doing wrong. Would love any tips or pointers I may be missing, thank you!

I am trying to extend my PersistedModels like so: @Versioned(3) @Model class MyType { var name: String init() { name = "hello" } } but it seems that SwiftData's@Model macro is unable to read the properties added by my @Versioned macro. I have tried changing the order and it ignores them regardless. version is not added to schemaMetadata and version needs to be persisted. I was planning on using this approach to add multiple capabilities to my model types. Is this possible to do with macros? VersionedMacro /// A macro that automatically implements VersionedModel protocol public struct VersionedMacro: MemberMacro, ExtensionMacro { // Member macro to add the stored property directly to the type public static func expansion( of node: AttributeSyntax, providingMembersOf declaration: some DeclGroupSyntax, in context: some MacroExpansionContext ) throws -> [DeclSyntax] { guard let argumentList = node.arguments?.as(LabeledExprListSyntax.self), let firstArgument = argumentList.first?.expression else { throw MacroExpansionErrorMessage("@Versioned requires a version number, e.g. @Versioned(3)") } let versionValue = firstArgument.description.trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespaces) // Add the stored property with the version value return [ "public private(set) var version: Int = \(raw: versionValue)" ] } // Extension macro to add static property public static func expansion( of node: SwiftSyntax.AttributeSyntax, attachedTo declaration: some SwiftSyntax.DeclGroupSyntax, providingExtensionsOf type: some SwiftSyntax.TypeSyntaxProtocol, conformingTo protocols: [SwiftSyntax.TypeSyntax], in context: some SwiftSyntaxMacros.MacroExpansionContext ) throws -> [SwiftSyntax.ExtensionDeclSyntax] { guard let argumentList = node.arguments?.as(LabeledExprListSyntax.self), let firstArgument = argumentList.first?.expression else { throw MacroExpansionErrorMessage("@Versioned requires a version number, e.g. @Versioned(3)") } let versionValue = firstArgument.description.trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespaces) // We need to explicitly add the conformance in the extension let ext = try ExtensionDeclSyntax("extension \(type): VersionedModel {}") .with(\.memberBlock.members, MemberBlockItemListSyntax { MemberBlockItemSyntax(decl: DeclSyntax( "public static var version: Int { \(raw: versionValue) }" )) }) return [ext] } } VersionedModel public protocol VersionedModel: PersistentModel { /// The version of this particular instance var version: Int { get } /// The type's current version static var version: Int { get } } Macro Expansion:

Hi, I am testing a situation with shared CKRecords where the data in the CKRecord syncs fine, but the creatorUserRecordID.recordName and lastModifiedUserRecordID.recordName shows "defaultOwner" (which maps to the CKCurrentUserDefaultName constant) even though I made sure I edit the CKRecord value from a different iCloud account. In fact, on the CloudKit dashboard, it shows the correct user recordIDs in the metadata for the 'Created' and 'Modified' fields, but not in the CKRecord. I am mostly testing this on the iPhone simulator with the debugger attached. Is that a possible reason for this, or is there some other reason the lastModifiedUserRecordID is showing the value for 'CKCurrentUserDefaultName'? It would be pretty difficult to build in functionality to look up changes by a different userID if this is the case.

Hi, I work on a financial app in Brazil and since Beta 1 we're getting several crashes. We already opened a code level support and a few feedback issues, but haven't got any updates on that yet. We were able to resolve some crashes changing some of our implementation but we aren't able to understand what might be happening with this last one. This is the log we got on console: erro 11:55:41.805875-0300 MyApp CoreData: error: Failed to load NSManagedObjectModel with URL 'file:///private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/0B9F47D9-9B83-4CFF-8202-3718097C92AE/MyApp.app/ServerDrivenModel.momd/' We double checked and the momd is inside the bundle. The same app works on any other iOS version and if we build using Xcode directly (without archiving and installing on an iOS26 device) it works as expected. Have anyone else faced a similar error? Any tips or advice on how we can try to solve that?

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) } } }

Hi, I'm considering using the new SwiftData class inheritance for a new app I'm building. I have a few questions: Is it working well enough for production? I have a number of different object types in my app. Some of them are very similar, and there's always a balance to be struck when it comes to splitting them into different types using class inheritance. Are there some good advice on when to use multiple classes instead of squeezing my object types into a single class? Is there advice against using class inheritance in multiple levels (3-4)? Claes

About 4 months ago, I shipped the first version of my app with 4 versioned schemas that, unintentionally, had the same versionIdentifier of 1.2.0 in 2 of them: V1: 1.0.0 V2: 1.1.0 V3: 1.2.0 V4: 1.2.0 They are ordered correctly in the MigrationPlan, and they are all lightweight. Migration works, SwiftData doesn't crash on init and I haven't encountered any issues related to this. The app syncs with iCloud. Questions, preferable for anybody with knowledge of SwiftData internals: What will break in SwiftData when there are 2 duplicate numbers? Not that I would expect it to be safe, but does it happen to be safe to ship an update that changes V4's version to 1.3.0, what was originally intended?

I have been trying to find out the app limits to my app when released into the app store, I understand that in the public database the app worldwide can use 200g of bandwidth free per month. What happens after that? is it throttled? is there a pricing structure for overages? thanks

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.

I’m seeing persistent issues with iCloud Drive hydration and Finder sync on a new M4 MacBook Pro running Sequoia 15.5 (24F74). The same folders hydrate correctly on other Macs (Intel and M1), but not on the M4. ✅ Tried: – killall bird – Safe Mode boot – Toggling iCloud Drive and System Settings > Apple ID – Isolating network, user profile, and running First Aid 🔍 Findings: – EtreCheck report shows consistent high CPU usage from bird with no resolution. – Console logs suggest bird is waiting on local metadata index. – No VPNs installed. No third-party sync tools active. I’ve sanitized and attached the EtreCheck report as text for reference (or can paste if needed). ❓ Questions: 1. Is this a known issue on M4 systems or Sequoia 15.5? 2. Could file system ownership have been impacted by command-line tools? 3. Is there a safe method to reset bird metadata or iCloud sync state locally? Any guidance from Apple or other developers would be appreciated. Thanks!
