SwiftData/ModelContext.swift:3253: Fatal error: Failed to identify a store that can hold instances of SwiftData._KKMDBackingData<Presents_2024.Item> from [:]

I'm still getting this error (SwiftData/ModelContext.swift:3253: Fatal error: Failed to identify a store that can hold instances of SwiftData._KKMDBackingData<Presents_2024.Item> from [:]) in Xcode 16.1 Beta (16B5001e).

The app works for a limited amount of time and then crashes with this error. It looks like the SwiftData model isn't being created properly and when a context is saved it crashes.

Can you tell me if this error will be fixed in the next beta?

Here's the output of the debug error when it crashes:

I'm also receiving the following failed assertion:

Have you made any progress on this? I too am seeing these errors after updating to Xcode 16, IOS 18, and macOS 15.0

I have the same issue. Has anyone found a workaround?

I have had some success by implementing manual saves using modelContext.transaction() whenever interacting with the model.

I'm having the same issue: random crashes after a few minutes of the app running, and a "Failed to identify a store that can hold instances of SwiftData" error.

I get the same error only while debugging. When I run on device it runs for a while then crashes.
