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 previously got this error when I used a PassKey to log in. I'm not using that. I've put my password in multiple times, closed the browser, etc. It doesn't seem to be working. The only thing I can think is that because my Mac is using a different iCloud account, it's not letting me. Does anyone have any ideas?

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:

Setup I am running a versionedSchema for my SwiftData model and attempting a migration. The new version contains a new attribute, with a type of a new custom enum defined in the @Model class, a default value, and a private(set). Migration was completed with a migrationPlan with nil values for willMigrate and didMigrate. Example - Previous Version @Model class MyNumber { var num: Int init() { // Init Code } } Example - Newest Version @Model class MyNumber { var num: Int private(set) var rounding: RoundAmount = MyNumber.RoundAmount.thirtyMinute init() { // Init Code } enum RoundAmount { case fiveMinute, tenMinute, thirtyMinute } } Issue Running this code, I get a swiftData error for “SwiftData/ModelCoders.swift:1585: nil value passed for a non-optional keyPath, /MyNumber.rounding” I assume this means a failure of the swiftData lightweight migration? I have reverted the version, removed private(set) and re-tried the migration with no success. Using the versionedSchema with migrationPlans, are lightweight migrations possible? Could this be an issue with the use of a custom enum? Other changes in my actual project migrated successfully so I’m lost on why I’m having this issue.

I haven't been able to find a definitive answer to this online. Is NSUbiquitousKeyValueStore end-to-end encrypted with Advanced Data Protection turned on? It’s not specifically called out here https://support.apple.com/en-us/102651.

I created a new index on two record types on Oct 12th. I still cannot query the records using the new queryable index on records that were created before that date. There is no indication in the schema history that the reindexing has started, completed, failed, or still in progress. What is the expectation for new indices being applied to existing records? Well over a week seems unacceptable for a database that has maybe 5000 records across a few record types. When I query my data using an old index and an old record field, I get hundreds of matching results so I know the data is there. FB15554144 - CloudKit / CloudKit Console: PRODUCTION ISSUE - Query against index created two weeks ago not returning all data as expected

I'm sorta baffled right now. I am trying to wonder how I might detect a updated SQL Store in an older app. have a baseline app, and create a SQL-based repository in an updated app, change the model and verify that you can see the updated model version. Using lightweight migration re-run the older app (which will inherit the newer SQL repository). YIKES - no error when creating the NSPersistenStoreCoordinator! Nothing in the metadata to imply the store is newer than the model: [_persistentStoreCoordinator metadataForPersistentStore:store] My question: is there any way to detect this condition? David

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

Hello, I'm trying to understand how dangerous it is to read and/or update model properties from a thread different than the one that instantiated the model. I know this is wrong when using Core Data and we should always use perform/performAndWait before manipulating an object but I haven't found any information about that for SwiftData. Question: is it safe to pass an object from one thread (like MainActor) to another thread (in a detached Task for example) and manipulate it, or should we re fetch the object using its persistentModelID as soon as we cross threads? When running the example app below with the -com.apple.CoreData.ConcurrencyDebug 1 argument passed at launch enabled, I don't get any Console warning when I tap on the "Update directly" button. I'm sure it would trigger a warning if I were using Core Data. Thanks in advance for explaining. Axel -- @main struct SwiftDataPlaygroundApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() .modelContainer(for: Item.self) } } } struct ContentView: View { @Environment(\.modelContext) private var context @Query private var items: [Item] var body: some View { VStack { Button("Add") { context.insert(Item(timestamp: Date.now)) } if let firstItem = items.first { Button("Update directly") { Task.detached { // Not the main thread, but firstItem is from the main thread // No warning in Xcode firstItem.timestamp = Date.now } } Button("Update using persistentModelID") { let container: ModelContainer = context.container let itemIdentifier: Item.ID = firstItem.persistentModelID Task.detached { let backgroundContext: ModelContext = ModelContext(container) guard let itemInBackgroundThread: Item = backgroundContext.model(for: itemIdentifier) as?

I got a preview crash info as this: *** crashed due to fatalError in PersistentModel.swift at line 559. This KeyPath does not appear to relate RecordInfo to anything - \RecordInfo.<computed 0x00000001921dfb4e (Array<SomeInfo>)> If I change preview device to iPhoneSE, It is no crash. I think the reason is I have some dirty data in iPhone16 Pro preview device. If I'm right and how to delete it? Model of RecordInfo like this: @Model class RecordInfo { @Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade) var someInfo:[SomeInfo] } @Model class SomeInfo { var date: Date var info: String }

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?

The WWDC2024 custom data store example doesn't provide any details on how one would go about creating a DataStoreSnapshot. The example uses a DefaultSnapshot for persisting the data in the DefaultSnapshot format directly in the JSON file. There appears to be no documentation or examples of how one might create a DataStoreSnapshot from data from another database. The Apple documentation for DefaultSnapshot provides no examples of how one might create such a snapshot from data retrieved elsewhere. Can anyone provide a simple example of how one might create such a snapshot from a remote database such that it can be returned as part of the response to a fetch request. For the purpose of this example let's assume I have a CSV file with rows of data and code to read the data from this file. How would I create a snapshot or snapshots for each of the rows of data.

I'm calling a method with the context as parameter, within the context's perform block – is this really not legal in Swift 6? actor MyActor { func bar(context: NSManagedObjectContext) { /* some code */ } func foo(context: NSManagedObjectContext) { context.performAndWait { self.bar(context: context) // WARN: Sending 'context' risks causing data races; this is an error in the Swift 6 language mode // 'self'-isolated 'context' is captured by a actor-isolated closure. actor-isolated uses in closure may race against later nonisolated uses // Access can happen concurrently } } } The warning appears when I call a method with a context parameter, within the performAndWait-block. Background: In my app I have methods that takes in API data, and I need to call the same methods from multiple places with the same context to store it, and I do not want to copy paste the code and have hundreds of lines of duplicate code. Is there a well-known "this is how you should do it" for situations like this? This is related to a previous post I made, but it's a bit flimsy and got no response: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/770605

Hi.

Hi! I believe there might be a small bug in the SwiftData Quakes Sample App.^1 The Quakes app requests a JSON feed from USGS.^2 What seems to be breaking is that apparently earthquake entities from USGS can return with null magnitudes. That is throwing errors from the decoder: struct GeoFeatureCollection: Decodable { let features: [Feature] struct Feature: Decodable { let properties: Properties let geometry: Geometry struct Properties: Decodable { let mag: Double let place: String let time: Date let code: String } struct Geometry: Decodable { let coordinates: [Double] } } } which is expecting mag to not be nil. Here is my workaround: struct GeoFeatureCollection: Decodable { let features: [Feature] struct Feature: Decodable { let properties: Properties let geometry: Geometry struct Properties: Decodable { let mag: Double? let place: String let time: Date let code: String } struct Geometry: Decodable { let coordinates: [Double] } } } And then: extension Quake { /// Creates a new quake instance from a decoded feature. convenience init(from feature: GeoFeatureCollection.Feature) { self.init( code: feature.properties.code, magnitude: feature.properties.mag ?? 0.0, time: feature.properties.time, name: feature.properties.place, longitude: feature.geometry.coordinates[0], latitude: feature.geometry.coordinates[1] ) } }

Hello, our application works with Core Data to save some datas about its activity. We have background Tasks implemented and our app execution in background shows this error message in the Logs: error: Failed to acquire background task assertion for task 'CoreData: Executing write request'. Anyone could explain what this message means? Could it be that NSManagedObjectContext changes might not be written?

Hello, I'm trying to work on an iPadOS and macOS app that will rely on the document-based system to create some kind of orientation task to follow. Let say task1.myfile will be a check point regulation from NYC to SF and task2.myfile will be a visit as many key location as you can in SF. The file represent the specific landmark location and rules of the game. And once open, I will be able to read KML/GPS file to evaluate their score based with the current task. But opened GPS files does not have to be stored in the task file itself, it stay alongside. I wanted to use that scenario to experiment with SwiftData (I'm a long time CoreData user, I even wrote my own WebDAV based persistent store back in the day), and so, mix both on file and in memory persistent store, with distribution based on object class. With CoreData it would have been possible, but I do not see how to achieve that with SwiftData and DocumentGroup integration. Any idea how to do that?

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.

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
