Where does SwiftData store the data?

I understand by default SwiftData uses SQLite database but it can be configured to persist data in XML, binary and even in-memory databases. Does anybody know where SwiftData the SQLite database is located?

I found these three files which are part of core-data datastore as well as swiftdata 144 -rw-r--r--@ 1 bsoule staff 73728 Jul 29 10:10 default.store 64 -rw-r--r--@ 1 bsoule staff 32768 Aug 7 14:57 default.store-shm 1160 -rw-r--r--@ 1 bsoule staff 564472 Aug 7 14:56 default.store-wal in my library directory --> Library/Containers/CHCS.ArtManager/Data/Library/Application Support

I expected to also see a file with an sqlite extension but I did not? Any ideas where the sqlite database is stored?

  • The default.store is the SQLite file.

   guard let appSupportDir = FileManager.default.urls(for: .applicationSupportDirectory, in: .userDomainMask).last else { return }

all 3 files for the SQL storage is located here at least on iOS

  • Thanks Ryan. However, if using CloudKit, I found the files are not stored in the '...Library/Application Support' directory, but rather in the '...Library/CloudKit/cloudd_db' directory
