My macOS app is developed using SwfitUI, SwiftData, and CloudKit. In the development environment, CloudKit works well. Locally added models can be quickly viewed in the CloudKit Console. macOS app and iOS app with the same BundleID can also synchronize data normally when developing locally. However, in the production environment, the macOS app cannot synchronize data with iCloud. But iOS app can. The models added in the production environment are only saved locally and cannot be viewed in CloudKit Console Production. I am sure I have configured correctly, container schema changes to deploy to the Production environment. I think there may be a problem with CloudKit in macOS. Please help troubleshoot the problem. I can provide you with any information you need. var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { MainView() .frame(minWidth: 640, minHeight: 480) .environment(mainViewModel) } .modelContainer(for: [NoteRecord.self]) } I didn't do anything special. I didn’t do anything special. I just used SwiftData hosted by CloudKit.

Let's say I have a CloudKit database schema where I have records of type Author that are referenced by multiple records of type Article. I want to delete an Author record if no Article is referencing it. Now consider the following conflict: device A deleted the last Article referencing Author #42 device B uploads a new Article referencing Author #42 at the same time The result should be that Author #42 is not deleted after both operations are finished. But both device don't know from each other changes. So either device B could miss that device A deleted the author. Or device A could have missed that a new Article was uploaded and therefore the Author #42 was deleted right after the upload of device B. I though about using a reference count first. But this won't work if the ref count is part of the Author record. This is because deletions do not use the changeTag to detect lost updates: If device A found a reference count 0 and decides to delete the Author, it might miss that device B incremented the count meanwhile. I currently see two alternatives: Using a second record that outlives the Author to keep the reference count and using an atomic operation to update and delete it. So if the update fails, the delete would fail either. Always adding a new child record to the Author whenever a reference is made. We could call it ReferenceToken. Since child records may not become dangling, CloudKit would stop a deletion, if a new ReferenceToken sets the parent reference to the Author. Are there any better ways doing this?

I'm getting a crash in SwiftData but only on one specific device (iPhone 16 pro running 18.2 22C5131e) and not on an ipad or simulator I cant troubleshoot this crash and its quite frustrating, all I am getting is @Query(sort: \Todo.timestamp, order: .reverse) private var todos: [Todo] ForEach(todos.filter { !$0.completed }) { item in // <---crash TodoListView() } and the error is Thread 1: signal SIGABRT An abort signal terminated the process.

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.

I'm using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer to save, edit, and delete items, but it only works half of the time. When I delete an item and terminate the app and repoen, sometimes the item is still there and sometimes it isn't. The operations are simple enough: moc.delete(thing) try? moc.save() Here is my DataController. I'm happy to provide more info as needed class DataController: ObservableObject { let container: NSPersistentCloudKitContainer @Published var moc: NSManagedObjectContext init() { container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: "AppName") container.loadPersistentStores { description, error in if let error = error { print("Core Data failed to load: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } #if DEBUG do { try container.initializeCloudKitSchema(options: []) } catch { print("Error initializing CloudKit schema: \(error.localizedDescription)") } #endif moc = container.viewContext } }

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?

The same macOS app is logged into the same iCloud account on two Macs. The apps on both devices can sync data with iCloud, but the data between them is isolated. When I was developing, I just enabled the CloudKit(SwiftData host in iCloud) capability and did not do anything special. I thought that the same app and the same iCloud account should sync the same data between different devices. Why is the cloud data on these two Macs isolated?

I have a CKRecord that references an CKAsset. If I understand it correctly, CKSyncEngine would download the asset every time the record has changed on the server. (Of course it would try to use the local asset cache, but worst-case it might be already flushed) The documentation for CKAsset says that asset downloads can be prevented by limiting the requested record keys using the desiredKeys property on the fetch operation. But I don't see any possibility to set this property when using CKSyncEngine. Did I miss something? Are there any alternatives?

I couldn't get iCloud root directory ("iCloud Drive not available or user domain not found."). Anybody had similar issue? I don't want to CloudKit. Xcode: Version 16.0 I have done below: Settings > iCloud Backup ON Settings > iCloud > iCloud Drive ON Settings > iCloud > MyApp ON import Foundation import UIKit class BackupManager { var isiCloudEnabled: Bool { (FileManager.default.ubiquityIdentityToken != nil) } // Get the iCloud Drive folder and create a folder if needed func createFolder() -> URL? { let fileManager = FileManager.default // Access the iCloud Drive root directory (user-visible folder) guard let iCloudRootURL = fileManager.url(forUbiquityContainerIdentifier: nil)? .appendingPathComponent("Documents") else { print("iCloud Drive not available or user domain not found.") return nil } // Check if the folder exists in iCloud Drive root, if not, create it if !fileManager.fileExists(atPath: iCloudRootURL.path) { do { try fileManager.createDirectory(at: iCloudRootURL, withIntermediateDirectories: true, attributes: nil) print("Folder created in iCloud Drive") } catch { print("Error creating folder: \(error.localizedDescription)") return nil } } // Return the URL of the folder in iCloud Drive return iCloudRootURL } }

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!

Only development environment can real sync. But product environment can't sync.

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, 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 Last Exception Backtrace: 0 CoreFoundation 0x1d15b8e38 __exceptionPreprocess + 164 (NSException.m:202) 1 libobjc.A.dylib 0x1ca7478d8 objc_exception_throw + 60 (objc-exception.mm:356) 2 CoreData 0x1d8dda27c _PFFaultHandlerLookupRow + 2508 (NSFaultHandler.m:395) 3 CoreData 0x1d8e024e0 _PF_FulfillDeferredFault + 200 (NSFaultHandler.m:915) 4 CoreData 0x1d8eb8f1c _sharedIMPL_pvfk_core + 168 (NSManagedObject_Accessors.m:1198) 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.

Hey there, I’m feeling pretty desperate at this point, as my most recent update to Xcode 16.1 and the new 18.1 simulators has basically made it impossible for me to work on my apps. The same app and same code run fine in the 18.0 simulators with the same iCloud account logged in. I’ve tried multiple simulators with the same results, even on different computers. I’ve also tried logging in repeatedly without any luck. The CloudKit database logs don’t show any errors or suspicious entries. Reinstalling the app on the simulator doesn't help either. Whenever I launch the application in Xcode, I'm getting: error: CoreData+CloudKit: -[NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate _performSetupRequest:]_block_invoke(1240): <NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate: 0x600003d213b0>: Failed to set up CloudKit integration for store: <NSSQLCore: 0x103f124e0> (URL: file:///Users/kerstenbroich/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/57BC78CE-DB2A-4AC0-9D7A-43C386305F56/data/Containers/Data/Application/EFDE9B05-0584-47C5-80AE-F2FF5994860C/Library/Application%20Support/Model.sqlite) <CKError 0x600000d3dfe0: "Partial Failure" (2/1011); "Failed to modify some record zones"; partial errors: { com.apple.coredata.cloudkit.zone:__defaultOwner__ = <CKError 0x600000d7c090: "Internal Error" (1/5000); "Failed user key sync"> }> error: CoreData+CloudKit: -[NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate recoverFromError:](2310): <NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate: 0x600003d213b0> - Attempting recovery from error: <CKError 0x600000d3dfe0: "Partial Failure" (2/1011); "Failed to modify some record zones"; partial errors: { com.apple.coredata.cloudkit.zone:__defaultOwner__ = <CKError 0x600000d7c090: "Internal Error" (1/5000); "Failed user key sync"> }> error: CoreData+CloudKit: -[NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate _recoverFromPartialError:forStore:inMonitor:]_block_invoke(2773): <NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate: 0x600003d213b0>: Found unknown error as part of a partial failure: <CKError 0x600000d7c090: "Internal Error" (1/5000); "Failed user key sync"> error: CoreData+CloudKit: -[NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate _recoverFromPartialError:forStore:inMonitor:](2820): <NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate: 0x600003d213b0>: Error recovery failed because the following fatal errors were found: { "<CKRecordZoneID: 0x600000d62340; zoneName=com.apple.coredata.cloudkit.zone, ownerName=__defaultOwner__>" = "<CKError 0x600000d7c090: \"Internal Error\" (1/5000); \"Failed user key sync\">"; } Any help/ideas would be much appreciated, because I have no clue what to try next.

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?

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. error: CoreData+CloudKit: -[NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate _performSetupRequest:]_block_invoke(1240): <NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate: 0x600003d09860>: Failed to set up CloudKit integration for store: <NSSQLCore: 0x103325c90> (URL: file:///Users/bastiaan/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/BF847CE5-A3E2-4B4C-8CD5-616B75B29AFE/data/Containers/Data/Application/0A916F67-B9B2-457B-8FA7-8C42819EA9AA/Library/Application%20Support/default.store) <CKError 0x600000c433f0: "Partial Failure" (2/1011); "Failed to modify some record zones"; partial errors: { com.apple.coredata.cloudkit.zone:__defaultOwner__ = <CKError 0x600000c956b0: "Internal Error" (1/5005); "Couldn't create new PCS blob for zone <CKRecordZoneID: 0x600000c475d0; zoneName=com.apple.coredata.cloudkit.zone, ownerName=__defaultOwner__>"> }> error: CoreData+CloudKit: -[NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate recoverFromError:](2310): <NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate: 0x600003d09860> - Attempting recovery from error: <CKError 0x600000c433f0: "Partial Failure" (2/1011); "Failed to modify some record zones"; partial errors: { com.apple.coredata.cloudkit.zone:__defaultOwner__ = <CKError 0x600000c956b0: "Internal Error" (1/5005); "Couldn't create new PCS blob for zone <CKRecordZoneID: 0x600000c475d0; zoneName=com.apple.coredata.cloudkit.zone, ownerName=__defaultOwner__>"> }> error: CoreData+CloudKit: -[NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate _recoverFromPartialError:forStore:inMonitor:]_block_invoke(2773): <NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate: 0x600003d09860>: Found unknown error as part of a partial failure: <CKError 0x600000c956b0: "Internal Error" (1/5005); "Couldn't create new PCS blob for zone <CKRecordZoneID: 0x600000c475d0; zoneName=com.apple.coredata.cloudkit.zone, ownerName=__defaultOwner__>"> error: CoreData+CloudKit: -[NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate _recoverFromPartialError:forStore:inMonitor:](2820): <NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate: 0x600003d09860>: Error recovery failed because the following fatal errors were found: { "<CKRecordZoneID: 0x600000c8fd50; zoneName=com.apple.coredata.cloudkit.zone, ownerName=__defaultOwner__>" = "<CKError 0x600000c956b0: \"Internal Error\" (1/5005); \"Couldn't create new PCS blob for zone <CKRecordZoneID: 0x600000c475d0; zoneName=com.apple.coredata.cloudkit.zone, ownerName=__defaultOwner__>\">"; } And in CloudKit logs I see: 06/11/2024, 9:09:59 UTC 738513AC-9326-42DE-B4E2-DA51F6462943 iOS;18.1 ZoneFetch EphemeralGroup { "time":"06/11/2024, 9:09:59 UTC" "database":"PRIVATE" "zone":"com.apple.coredata.cloudkit.zone" "userId":"_0d9445f850459ec351330ca0fde4134f" "operationId":"611BA98C9B10D3F2" "operationGroupName":"EphemeralGroup" "operationType":"ZoneFetch" "platform":"iPhone" "clientOS":"iOS;18.1" "overallStatus":"USER_ERROR" "error":"ZONE_NOT_FOUND" "requestId":"738513AC-9326-42DE-B4E2-DA51F6462943" "executionTimeMs":"53" "interfaceType":"NATIVE" } Any pointers are greatly appreciated!
