NSPersistentCloudKitContainer "migrate to a completely new store"?
I have a model that has already been pushed to production, and I would like to move an attribute to a new entity as a relationship.From This:extension Note { @NSManaged public var drawingData: Data? .... }To This: extension Note { @NSManaged public var drawing: Drawing? .... } extension Drawing { @NSManaged public var drawingData: Data? .... }According to the Apple Docs under the "Update your Production Schema" section, I will need to migrate to a new CloudKit Container, since we can't delete attributes on "production" CKRecords.What is the proper workflow to do this?I have come up with the following, but I believe it is wrong.lazy var oldPersistentContainer: NSPersistentCloudKitContainer = { let container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: "Model") let storeLocation = URL(fileURLWithPath: "/path/to/cloud.store") let storeDescription = NSPersistentStoreDescription(url: storeLocation) // Set the container options on the cloud store cloudStoreDescription.cloudKitContainerOptions = NSPersistentCloudKitContainerOptions( containerIdentifier: "com.myCompany.myApp") container.loadPersistentStores... ... }() /// NOTE: - `containerIdentifier` has been "bumped" lazy var newPersistentContainer: NSPersistentCloudKitContainer = { let container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: "Model") let storeLocation = URL(fileURLWithPath: "/path/to/cloud.store") let storeDescription = NSPersistentStoreDescription(url: storeLocation) // Set the container options on the cloud store cloudStoreDescription.cloudKitContainerOptions = NSPersistentCloudKitContainerOptions( containerIdentifier: "com.myCompany.myApp2") // TODO: Migrate Core Data Store if needed container.loadPersistentStores... ... }()NOTE: newPersistentContainer would have a "bumped" containerIdentifier and it would also perform Core Data Migration.Then I think I would need to manually move all records from oldPersistentContainer and add them to newPersistentContainer. Once all the data has been moved into the new container , I would delete all records from oldPersistentContainer. Would that be enough in terms of cleaning up oldPersistentContainer?It took me a while to come up with this workflow, but I still think it is wrong. Could someone give me some insight on how to properly perform a CloudKit Container Migration with NSPersistentCloudKitContainer.

WidgetKit + CoreData loadPersistentStores Error
Failure to Load Persistent Stores How are we supposed to handle this with Widgets? I can't reproduce the issue, and in my App Target I usually just fatalError, which has resulted in very few if any crashes in production. However, since implementing my widget, I am getting hundreds of crash reports a day in my Widget target due to this. I have added logging, but have yet to receive a log or even a user complaint, so I don't know exactly what error is being produced. I am guessing it's a memory issue, or maybe a dataProtection issue. When I build my Widget the console outputs: [error] warning: Force checkpointing -wal while initializing query generations due to its large size (134225512) which I assume means it's a memory issue. I am instantiating my NSPersistentContainer in my TimeLineProvider What is the best way to handle this? Should I just remove the fatalError? Do I need to mirror only what's necessary from my store to a smaller json file and only share that with the widget?

How to deduplicate entities with relationships in NSPersistentCloudKitContainer?
In my app I have a defaultJournal: Journal, that automatically gets added on the user's device on launch. There should only be one "default" journal, and I know that deduplication as shown in the Apple Demo, is the correct approach to ensure this on multiple devices. Journal looks something like: class Journal: NSManagedObject { @NSManaged var isDefaultJournal: Bool @NSManaged var entries: Set<JournalEntry>? } Since Journal has a relationship to entries, how can I deduplicate it ensuring that I don't orphan or delete the entries? I am worried that the entries aren't guaranteed to be synced, when we discover a duplicate journal in processPersistentHistory. This would lead to either orphaned or deleted entries depending on the deletion rule. How can one handle deduplicating entities with relationships? For example here is my remove function:     func remove(duplicateDefaultCalendarNotes: [Journal], winner: Journal, on context: NSManagedObjectContext) {         duplicateDefaultCalendarNotes.forEach { journal in             defer { context.delete(journal) } // FIXME: What if all of the journal entries have not been synced yet from the cloud? // Should we fetch directly from CloudKit instead? (could still lead to orphaned/deleted journal that have not yet been uploaded)             guard let entries = journal.entries else { return }             entries.forEach {                 $0.journal = winner             }         }     } A missing tag on a post isn't that bad, but deleting a user's journal is unacceptable. What is the best strategy to handle this?

Transition MacCatalyst App to "Designed for iPad"
I currently have a universal app that uses MacCatalyst. I want to update the Mac app to use "Designed for iPad". I know Intel Macs won't be able to download the updated version, but will current Intel app users be able to restore the download version they had, (ie. a clean os install)? Will new intel users be able to download the previous catalyst version, or is it removed from the store completely?

Display name for CloudKit container in the "Manage Storage" view of Settings
How can I set the display name of the CloudKit container in Settings -> iCloud -> Manage Storage. I have multiple containers, some legacy, and some for certain modules that are shared among a suite of apps. The problem is all Containers show the same name so it is not possible to advise a user which containers are safe to delete. I am using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer.
