I've tried using renaming Identifier:
1) Automatic / Lightweight migration seems to fail, because "CloudKit integration forbids renaming entities. older devices cannot process these records"
2) Tried using just NSPersistentContainer, and the lightweight migration still fails with the above message. NSPersistentCloudKitContainer seems to have marked/tainted the persistent store / SQLite so that renaming of entities is not possible at all.

Does anyone know if it is possible to rename entities once you start using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer? (heavyweight migration or such?)

Has anyone done this before, in a production app or otherwise?

Have you found an answer to your question? I’m facing the same issue with my Core Data schema where I renamed a relationship. What’s strange is that I enabled CloudKit at the same time I renamed the relationship so no data is on the cloud yet and the CloudKit schema is only in development.
