I've just tried to update a project that uses SwiftData to Swift 6 using Xcode 16 beta 1, and it's not working due to missing Sendable conformance on a couple of types (MigrationStage and Schema.Version):
struct LocationsMigrationPlan: SchemaMigrationPlan {
static let schemas: [VersionedSchema.Type] = [LocationsVersionedSchema.self]
static let stages: [MigrationStage] = []
}
struct LocationsVersionedSchema: VersionedSchema {
static let models: [any PersistentModel.Type] = [
Location.self
]
static let versionIdentifier = Schema.Version(1, 0, 0)
}
This code results in the following errors:
error: static property 'stages' is not concurrency-safe because non-'Sendable' type '[MigrationStage]' may have shared mutable state
static let stages: [MigrationStage] = []
^
error: static property 'versionIdentifier' is not concurrency-safe because non-'Sendable' type 'Schema.Version' may have shared mutable state
static let versionIdentifier = Schema.Version(1, 0, 0)
^
Am I missing something, or is this a bug in the current seed? I've filed this as FB13862584.

I have a few apps that use Core Data & CloudKit to sync data to multiple devices. Everything was fine until I updated to Xcode 14. Now, although the apps work on an actual device, in the simulator, I get errors about "Failed to sync user keys" and it won't sync anything.
I haven't changed the code at all. It just suddenly won't work in the simulator. Since it does this for all apps, I have to believe it's something changed with the simulator?

Hello, I`m working on an app that uses CloudKit and CKShare, but the app has 2 different targets, one for professional and one for patients, and theoretically the target of the professional sends the CKShare and the target of the patient should accept, but the ckshare tries to always open the target of the profissional, I would like to know if the are any way to configure the CKShare to oppen the target od the patients
Ive been getting this error on an app in the dev environment since iOS16. it continues to happen in the latest iOS release (iOS18).
After this error/warning, CoreData_CloudKit stops syncing and the only way to fix it is to delete the app from all devices, reset the CloudKit dev environment, reload the schema and reload all data. im afriad that if I ever go live and get this error in production there won't be a way to fix it given I cant go and reset the production CloudKit environment.
It doesn't happen straight away after launching my app in a predictable manner, it can take several weeks to happen.
Ive posted about this before here and haven't got a response. I also have a feedback assistant issue submitted in 2022 as part of ios16 beta that is still open: FB10392936 for a similar issue that caused the same error.
would like to submit a code level support query but it doest seem to have anything to do with my code - but rather the Apple core data CloudKit syncing mechanism.
anyone have any similar issues or a way forward?

Core Data
I have Core Data setup with a NSPersistentCloudKitContainer as my container, I've added a container identifier and I see my data on CloudKit's database here when I use "Act As iCloud Account". Here's what I have under capabilities in Xcode
However, on my device when I go to Settings > Apple Account > iCloud > Saved to iCloud and switch off my app, all the data saved to Core Data is removed. I suspected this working as intended. When I switch it back on, all the data comes back. However (x2), the support page here says it should remain on the device:
When you turn it off, the app no longer connects with iCloud, so your data exists only on your device
Am I missing something in how I integrated Core Data in Xcode? Do I need to explicitly configure something with Apple's SDK to get the behavior described in the support page?
I've noticed for some of Apple's apps, when you switch off iCloud there's an action sheet asking what you'd like to do with the local data. I figured this was Apple's magic without sharing especially since the buttons looked different
Stocks
Safari
Contacts
However (x3), not all apps that had this option offered "Keep on My iPhone", so perhaps the supported behavior is to remove what's on the device and these Apple apps implemented their own support to keep a copy on the device.
Reminders
I've tried testing some 3rd-party apps but couldn't convince myself they were using Core Data with iCloud enabled. Instead, it looked like they were using iCloud as a backup
I've developed an app that contains an inbox that displays message from a CloudKit container. Works perfectly on simulator. Once I tried to run it on a phone..in Xcode debug environment and TestFlight it is unable to complete any transactions with production database. I'm running out of ideas. So far I have tried:
Verify settings between debug and release in Signing & Capabilities
Add CloudKit.framework to Framework, Libraries, and Embedded Content
Verify record and key names
verify .entitlements files
Please help!
Is it possible to use CloudKit and add integrations, Google Drive for example. If possible, how?
I'm continually getting an error with a new CloudKit container when I try to save data.
error: Couldn't get container configuration from the server for container "iCloud.com.***.***"
here's the class:
private var db = CKContainer(identifier: "iCloud.com.***.***").privateCloudDatabase
func addTask(taskItem: TaskItem) async throws {
checkStatus()
do {
try await db.save(taskItem.record)
} catch {
print("error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
}
func checkStatus() {
let id = CKContainer(identifier: "iCloud.com.***.***").containerIdentifier
print(id ?? "unknown")
Task {
let status = try await CKContainer(identifier: "iCloud.com.***.***").accountStatus()

The account status reports as available but gives the error on an attempt to save.. I'm trying to work out what I might be doing wrong..
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.

In a simple SwiftData app that adds items to a list, memory usage drastically increases as items are added. After a few hundred items, the UI lags and becomes unusable.
In comparison, a similar app built with CoreData shows only a slight memory increase in the same scenario and does NOT lag, even past 1,000 items.
In the SwiftData version, as each batch is added, memory spikes the same amount…or even increases! In the CoreData version, the increase with each batch gets smaller and smaller, so the memory curve levels off.
My Question
Are there any ways to improve the performance of adding items in SwiftData, or is it just not ready for prime time?

Here are the test projects on GitHub if you want to check it out yourself:

Maybe I didn't find the relevant instructions.
In my code, I only want to get the first 7 elements.
At present, my code is as follows:
@Query(sort:\Record.date, order: .reverse) private var records:[Record]
But I wonder if once the number of records is large, will it affect the efficiency?
In View, it is enough for me to count the first 7 elements in records. What should I do?

I have encountered an issue that when using a ModelActor to sync data in the background, the app will crash if one of the operations is to remove a PersistentModel from the context.
This is running on the latest beta of Xcode 16 with visionOS 1.2 as target and in Swift 6 language mode.
The code is being executed in a ModelActor.
The error is first thrown by:
#5 0x00000001c3223280 in PersistentModel.getValue<τ_0_0>(forKey:) ()

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

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.
Only development environment can real sync.
But product environment can't sync.
And when run my device show this error:

The data before October 24 was synchronized normally,
Nothing after October 24 is synced.
I am encountering an issue with the UndoManager functionality in a SwiftUI application that integrates SwiftData for persistence. This issue occurs specifically in macOS 14 (Sonoma) but works as expected on macOS 15 (Sequoia).
The focused test app I have prepared for demonstration allows users to create ParentItem objects, and for each ParentItem, users can add multiple ChildItem objects. The undo functionality (via Cmd+Z) is not working as expected in Sonoma. When I try to undo a ChildItem addition, the UndoManager does not revert just the last ChildItem added, but instead removes all ChildItems that were added in that session.
Expected Behavior
On macOS 14 (Sonoma), I expect the UndoManager to undo only the most recent transaction (in this case, a single ChildItem insert), similar to how it functions on macOS 15 (Sequoia). Each ChildItem insertion should be treated as a separate undoable action.
Current Behavior
In macOS Sonoma, pressing Cmd+Z undoes the entire list of ChildItems added to a ParentItem in the current session, rather than just the most recent ChildItem. This appears to be an issue with undo grouping, but I’ve confirmed that no explicit grouping is being used.
Question
Is this an issue with UndoManager in macOS Sonoma, particularly in how it interacts with SwiftData persistence? What changes should I make to ensure that each ChildItem insert is treated as an individual undo action in macOS Sonoma, just as it works in Sequoia?
Any guidance on isolating the issue or recommended workarounds would be appreciated. I would expect that undo actions for each child addition would be treated as separate transactions, not grouped.
Steps Taken to Solve the Problem
I attempted to manually save the model context (modelContext.save()) after each ChildItem insert to ensure proper persistence.
I also verified that UndoManager was not grouping operations explicitly by calling beginUndoGrouping() or endUndoGrouping() myself.
This issue seems to be tied specifically to macOS Sonoma, as it does not occur on macOS Sequoia, where undoing behaves as expected.
Conditions
macOS 14 Sonoma: The issue occurs consistently.
macOS 15 Sequoia: The issue does not occur.
This issue appears to be independent of hardware, as I’ve tested it on multiple machines.
APIs/Features Potentially Involved
UndoManager in a SwiftUI application
SwiftData for persistence (using modelContext.save())
macOS version-specific behavior
Steps to reproduce
Clone test project (https://github.com/Maschina/SwiftDataUndoManagerExample), compile and run
Create a new ParentItem in the app (via plus toolbar button in the sidebar).
Add multiple ChildItems to the ParentItem (via plus toolbar button in the content / middle column of the navigation split view).
Press Cmd+Z to undo the last addition.
I have an app and widget that share access to a SwiftData container using App Groups. I have implemented a SwiftData migration plan, but I am unsure whether I should allow the widget to perform the migration (in addition to the app). I am concerned about two possible issues:
If the app and widget are run at approximately the same time (e.g. the user taps Open after doing a manual update in the App Store), then both the app and widget might try to perform the migration at the same time, which could lead to race conditions / data corruption.
If the widget is first to run but the widget gets suspended for some reasons (e.g., iOS decides it's using too many resources), then the migration might be suspended leaving the database in an corrupted state.
To me, it feels like the safest option is to only allow the app itself to perform the migration – this will ensure that the migration can only happen once in a safe state. However, this will lead to problems for the widget. For example, if the user does not open the app for several days after an automatic update, the widget will be in a broken state, since it will not be able to open the container until it has been migrated by the app.
Possible solutions I'm considering:
Allow both the app and widget to perform the migration and cross my fingers. (Ignore Issue 1 and Issue 2)
Implement some kind of UserDefaults flag that is set to true during migration, so that the app and widget will avoid performing the migration concurrently. (Solves Issue 1 but not Issue 2)
Only perform the migration in the app, and then add code to the widget to detect which container version the widget has access to, so that the widget can continue to work with a v1 container until the app eventually updates it to a v2 container. (Solves Issue 1 and Issue 2, but leads to very convoluted code – especially over time)
Things I'm unsure about:
Will iOS continue to use v1 of the widget until the app is opened for the first time, at which point v2 of the widget is installed? Or does iOS immediately update the widget to v2 on update? Does iOS immediately refresh the widget timeline on update?
Does SwiftData already have some logic to avoid migrations being performed twice, even from different threads? If so, how does it respond if one process tries to access a container while another process is performing a migration?
Does anyone have any recommendations about how to handle these possible issues? What are best practices?
Cheers!
I changed an enum value from this:
enum Kind: String, Codable, CaseIterable {
case credit
}
to this:
enum Kind: String, Codable, CaseIterable {
case credit = "Credit"
}
And now it fails to load the data. This is inside of a SwiftData model. I get why the error is occurring, but is there a way to resolve this issue without having to revert back or delete the data?
Error: dataCorrupted(Swift.DecodingError.Context(codingPath: [], debugDescription: "Cannot initialize Kind from invalid String value credit", underlyingError: nil))
Hi all,
Has anyone stumbled upon the SwiftData equivalent of @SectionedFetchRequest? Is there a way to do it with @Query? I'll keep going through the documentation but if anyone has an answer, it would be much appreciated!!
Thank you.
Are SwiftData queries lazy loaded when used in conjunction with SwiftUI List?
@Query
var posts: [PostModel]
List {
ForEach(posts, id: \.id) { post in
PostView(post)
}
}
If the code above is not lazy loaded, how can we make it lazy loaded?
