Hello the documentation for message filtering has been offline for a few days now, is it possible to get it back, or is there somewhere else it can be viewed in the meanwhile?

My app uses iCloud to let users sync their files via their private iCloud Drive, which does not use CloudKit.
FileManager.default.url(forUbiquityContainerIdentifier: nil)?.appending(component: "Documents")
I plan to transfer my app to another developer account, but I'm afraid it will affect the access of the app to the existing files in that folder. Apple documentation doesn't mention this case.
Has anyone done this before and can confirm if the app will continue to work normally after transferring?
Thanks
I have a document based SwiftData app in which I would like to implement a persistent cache. For obvious reasons, I would not like to store the contents of the cache in the documents themselves, but in my app's data directory.
Is a use case, in which a document based SwiftData app uses not only the ModelContainers from the currently open files, but also a ModelContainer writing a database file in the app's documents directory (for cache, settings, etc.) supported?
If yes, how can you inject two different ModelContexts, one tied to the currently open file and one tied to the local database, into a SwiftUI view?
Greetings i have an app that uses three different SwiftData models and i want to know what is the best way to use the them accross the app. I though a centralized behaviour and i want to know if it a correct approach.First let's suppose that the first view of the app will load the three models using the @Enviroment that work with @Observation. Then to other views that add data to the swiftModels again with the @Environment. Another View that will use the swiftData models with graph and datas for average and min and max.Is this a corrent way? or i should use @Query in every view that i want and ModelContext when i add the data.
@Observable
class CentralizedDataModels {
var firstDataModel: [FirstDataModel] = []
var secondDataModel: [SecondDataModel] = []
var thirdDataModel: [ThirdDataModel] = []
let context: ModelContext
init(context:ModelContext) {
self.context = context
}
}
I'm trying to use the new (in tvOS 26) video streaming service automatic login API from the VideoSubscriberAccount framework:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/videosubscriberaccount/vsuseraccountmanager/autosignintoken-swift.property
It seems that this API requires an entitlement. This document suggests that the com.apple.smoot.subscriptionservice entitlement is required.
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/videosubscriberaccount/signing-people-in-to-media-apps-automatically
However, it seems more likely that com.apple.developer.video-subscriber-single-sign-on is the correct entitlement.
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com.apple.developer.video-subscriber-single-sign-on
Which is the correct entitlement and how do I obtain it?
I don't want to fully comply with the video partner program.

I just want to use this one new automatic login feature.
I am using SwiftData with CloudKit to synchronize data across multiple devices, and I have encountered an issue: occasionally, abnormal sync behavior occurs between two devices (it does not happen 100% of the time—only some users have reported this problem). It seems as if synchronization between the two devices completely stops; no matter what operations are performed on one end, the other end shows no response.
After investigating, I suspect the issue might be caused by both devices simultaneously modifying the same field, which could lead to CloudKit's logic being unable to handle such conflicts and causing the sync to stall. Are there any methods to avoid or resolve this situation?
Of course, I’m not entirely sure if this is the root cause. Has anyone encountered a similar issue?

In Chrome secret tab, I can sign in successfully.
But in Chrome normal tab, I can't sign in.
In normal tab, following error occurs on sign in button click:
cloudkit.js:14 Uncaught (in promise) Error: UNKNOWN_ERROR

I think, cloudkit instance has re-initialized when I click the sign in button only in normal tab.
So I can't sign in.
Do you have any idea what might be causing the error ?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi !
Would anyone know (if possible) how to create backup files to export and then import from the data recorded by SwiftData?
For those who wish, here is a more detailed explanation of my case:
I am developing a small management software with customers and events represented by distinct classes. I would like to have an "Export" button to create a file with all the instances of these 2 classes and another "Import" button to replace all the old data with the new ones from a previously exported file.
I looked for several solutions but I'm a little lost...
Hi everyone,
Im trying to set up CloudKit for my Unreal Engine 5.4 project but seem to be hitting some roadblocks on how to set up the Record Types.
From my understanding I need to set up a "file" record type with a "contents" asset field - but even with this it doesn't seem to work :(
Any unreal engine devs with some experience on this who could help me out?
Thanks!
Hi all,
I am using SwiftData and cloudkit and I am having an extremely persistent bug.
I am building an education section on a app that's populated with lessons via a local JSON file. I don't need this lesson data to sync to cloudkit as the lessons are static, just need them imported into swiftdata so I've tried to use the modelcontainer like this:
static func createSharedModelContainer() -> ModelContainer {
// --- Define Model Groups ---
let localOnlyModels: [any PersistentModel.Type] = [
Lesson.self, MiniLesson.self,
Quiz.self, Question.self
]
let cloudKitSyncModels: [any PersistentModel.Type] = [
User.self, DailyTip.self, UserSubscription.self,
UserEducationProgress.self // User progress syncs
]
However, what happens is that I still get Lesson and MiniLesson record types on cloudkit and for some reason as well, whenever I update the data models or delete and reinstall the app on simulator, the lessons duplicate (what seems to happen is that a set of lessons comes from the JSON file as it should), and then 1-2 seconds later, an older set of lessons gets synced from cloudkit.
I can delete the old set of lessons if I just delete the lessons and mini lessons record types, but if I update the data model again, this error reccurrs.
Sorry, I don't know if I managed to explain this well but essentially I just want to stop the lessons and minilessons from being uploaded to cloudkit as I think this will fix the problem. Am I doing something wrong with the code?
Hello everyone,
I am experiencing a persistent authentication error when querying a custom user profile record, and the error message seems to be a red herring.
My Setup:
I have a custom CKRecord type called ColaboradorProfile.
When a new user signs up, I create this record and store their hashed password, salt, nickname, and a custom field called loginIdentifier (which is just their lowercase username).
In the CloudKit Dashboard, I have manually added an index for loginIdentifier and set it to Queryable and Searchable. I have deployed this schema to Production.
The Problem:
During login, I run an async function to find the user's profile using this indexed loginIdentifier.
Here is the relevant authentication code:
func autenticar() async {
// ... setup code (isLoading, etc.)
let lowercasedUsername = username.lowercased()
// My predicate ONLY filters on 'loginIdentifier'
let predicate = NSPredicate(format: "loginIdentifier == %@", lowercasedUsername)
let query = CKQuery(recordType: "ColaboradorProfile", predicate: predicate)
// I only need these specific keys
let desiredKeys = ["password", "passwordSalt", "nickname", "isAdmin", "isSubAdmin", "username"]
let database = CKContainer.default().publicCloudDatabase
do {
// This is the line that throws the error
let result = try await database.records(matching: query, desiredKeys: desiredKeys, resultsLimit: 1)
// ... (rest of the password verification logic)
} catch {
// The error always lands here
logDebug("Error authenticating with CloudKit: \(error.localizedDescription)")
await MainActor.run {
self.errorMessage = "Connection Error: \(error.localizedDescription)"
self.isLoading = false
self.showAlert = true
}
}
}
The Error:
Even though my query predicate only references loginIdentifier, the catch block consistently reports this error:
Error authenticating with CloudKit: Field 'createdBy' is not marked queryable.
I know createdBy (the system creatorUserRecordID) is not queryable by default, but my query isn't touching that field. I already tried indexing createdBy just in case, but the error persists. It seems CloudKit cannot find or use my index for loginIdentifier and is incorrectly reporting a fallback error related to a system field.
Has anyone seen this behavior? Why would CloudKit report an error about createdBy when the query is explicitly on an indexed, custom field?
I'm new to Swift and I'm struggling quite a bit.
Thank you,
Document based SwiftData apps do not autosave changes to the ModelContext at all. This issue has been around since the first release of this SwiftData feature.
In fact, the Apple WWDC sample project (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/building-a-document-based-app-using-swiftdata) does not persist any data in its current state, unless one inserts modelContext.save() calls after every data change.
I have reported this under the feedback ID FB16503154, as it seemed to me that there is no feedback report about the fundamental issue yet.

What have people's experience with converting locally stored app data to a more browser based accessible format? Firebase seems expensive, Subabase a bit more challenging, and CloudKit too restrictive.
I'm trying to build a custom FetchRequest that I can use outside a View. I've built the following ObservableFetchRequest class based on this article: https://augmentedcode.io/2023/04/03/nsfetchedresultscontroller-wrapper-for-swiftui-view-models
@Observable @MainActor class ObservableFetchRequest<Result: Storable>: NSObject, @preconcurrency NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate {
private let controller: NSFetchedResultsController<Result.E>
private var results: [Result] = []
init(context: NSManagedObjectContext = .default, predicate: NSPredicate? = Result.E.defaultPredicate(), sortDescriptors: [NSSortDescriptor] = Result.E.sortDescripors) {
guard let request = Result.E.fetchRequest() as? NSFetchRequest<Result.E> else {
fatalError("Failed to create fetch request for \(Result.self)")
}
request.predicate = predicate
request.sortDescriptors = sortDescriptors
controller = NSFetchedResultsController(fetchRequest: request, managedObjectContext: context, sectionNameKeyPath: nil, cacheName: nil)
super.init()
controller.delegate = self
fetch()
}
private func fetch() {
do {
try controller.performFetch()
refresh()
}
catch {
fatalError("Failed to fetch results for \(Result.self)")
}
}
private func refresh() {
results = controller.fetchedObjects?.map { Result($0) } ?? []
}
var predicate: NSPredicate? {
get {
controller.fetchRequest.predicate
}
set {
controller.fetchRequest.predicate = newValue
fetch()
}
}
var sortDescriptors: [NSSortDescriptor] {
get {
controller.fetchRequest.sortDescriptors ?? []
}
set {
controller.fetchRequest.sortDescriptors = newValue.isEmpty ? nil : newValue
fetch()
}
}
internal func controllerDidChangeContent(_ controller: NSFetchedResultsController<any NSFetchRequestResult>) {
refresh()
}
}
Till this point, everything works fine.
Then, I conformed my class to RandomAccessCollection, so I could use in a ForEach loop without having to access the results property.
extension ObservableFetchRequest: @preconcurrency RandomAccessCollection, @preconcurrency MutableCollection {
subscript(position: Index) -> Result {
get {
results[position]
}
set {
results[position] = newValue
}
}
public var endIndex: Index { results.endIndex }
public var indices: Indices { results.indices }
public var startIndex: Index { results.startIndex }
public func distance(from start: Index, to end: Index) -> Int {
results.distance(from: start, to: end)
}
public func index(_ i: Index, offsetBy distance: Int) -> Index {
results.index(i, offsetBy: distance)
}
public func index(_ i: Index, offsetBy distance: Int, limitedBy limit: Index) -> Index? {
results.index(i, offsetBy: distance, limitedBy: limit)
}
public func index(after i: Index) -> Index {
results.index(after: i)
}
public func index(before i: Index) -> Index {
results.index(before: i)
}
public typealias Element = Result
public typealias Index = Int
}
The issue is, when I update the ObservableFetchRequest predicate while searching, it causes a Index out of range error in the Collection subscript because the ForEach loop (or a List loop) access a old version of the array when the item property is optional.
List(request, selection: $selection) { item in
VStack(alignment: .leading) {
Text(item.content)
if let information = item.information { // here's the issue, if I leave this out, everything works
Text(information)
.font(.callout)
.foregroundStyle(.secondary)
}
}
.tag(item.id)
.contextMenu {
if Item.self is Client.Type {
Button("Editar") {
openWindow(ClientView(client: item as! Client), id: item.id!)
}
}
}
}
Is it some RandomAccessCollection issue or a SwiftUI bug?
I’m trying to build a CRUD app using SwiftData, @Query model and multidatepicker.
The data from a multidatepicker is stored or persists in SwiftData as Set = [].
My current dilemma is how to use SwiftData and @Query model Predicate to find all records on the current date.
I can’t find any SwiftData documentation or examples @Query using Set = [].
My CRUD app should retrieve all records for the current date. Unfortunately, I don’t know the correct @Query model syntax for Set = [].
I have a CoreData model with two configuration - but several problems. Notably the viewContext only shows data from the .private configuration. Here is the setup:
The private configuration holds entities, for example, User and Course and the shared one holds entities, for example, Player and League. I setup the NSPersistentStoreDescriptions to use the same container but with a databaseScope of .private/.shared and with the configuration of "Private"/"Shared". loadPersistentStores() does not report an error.
If I try container.initializeCloudKitSchema() only the .private configuration produces CKRecord types. If I create a companion app using one configuration (w/ all entities) the schema initialization creates all CKRecord types AND I can populate some data in the .private and a created CKShare. I see that data in the CloudKit dashboard.
If I axe the companion app and run the real thing w/ two configurations, the viewContext only has the .private data. Why?
If when querying history I use NSPersistentHistoryTransaction.fetchRequest I get a nil return when using two configurations (but non-nil when using one).
Hi all,
I recently discovered that I forgot to deploy my CloudKit schema changes from development to production - an oversight that unfortunately went unnoticed for 2.5 months.
As a result, any data created during that time was never synced to iCloud and remains only in the local CoreData store. Once I pushed the schema to production, CloudKit resumed syncing new changes as expected.
However, this leaves me with a gap: there's now a significant amount of data that would be lost if users delete or reinstall the app.
Before I attempt to implement a manual backup or migration strategy, I was wondering:
Does NSPersistentCloudKitContainer keep track of local changes that couldn't be synced doe to the missing schema and automatically reattempt syncing them now that the schema is live?
If not, what would be the best approach to ensure this "orphaned" data gets saved to CloudKit retroactively.
Thanks in advance for any guidance or suggestions.
Hello,
I am building a pretty large database (~40MB) to be used in my SwiftData iOS app as read-only.
While inserting and updating the data, I noticed a substantial increase in size (+ ~10MB).
A little digging pointed to ACHANGE and ATRANSACTION tables that apparently are dealing with Persistent History Tracking.
While I do appreciate the benefits of that, I prefer to save space.
Could you please point me in the right direction?
We're in the process of migrating our app to the Swift 6 language mode. I have hit a road block that I cannot wrap my head around, and it concerns Core Data and how we work with NSManagedObject instances.
Greatly simplied, our Core Data stack looks like this:
class CoreDataStack {
private let persistentContainer: NSPersistentContainer
var viewContext: NSManagedObjectContext { persistentContainer.viewContext }
}
For accessing the database, we provide Controller classes such as e.g.
class PersonController {
private let coreDataStack: CoreDataStack
func fetchPerson(byName name: String) async throws -> Person? {
try await coreDataStack.viewContext.perform {
let fetchRequest = NSFetchRequest<Person>()
fetchRequest.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "name == %@", name)
return try fetchRequest.execute().first
}
}
}
Our view controllers use such controllers to fetch objects and populate their UI with it:
class MyViewController: UIViewController {
private let chatController: PersonController
private let ageLabel: UILabel
func populateAgeLabel(name: String) {
Task {
let person = try? await chatController.fetchPerson(byName: name)
ageLabel.text = "\(person?.age ?? 0)"
}
}
}
This works very well, and there are no concurrency problems since the managed objects are fetched from the view context and accessed only in the main thread.
When turning on Swift 6 language mode, however, the compiler complains about the line calling the controller method:
Non-sendable result type 'Person?' cannot be sent from nonisolated context in call to instance method 'fetchPerson(byName:)'
Ok, fair enough, NSManagedObject is not Sendable. No biggie, just add @MainActor to the controller method, so it can be called from view controllers which are also main actor. However, now the compiler shows the same error at the controller method calling viewContext.perform:
Non-sendable result type 'Person?' cannot be sent from nonisolated context in call to instance method 'perform(schedule:_:)'
And now I'm stumped. Does this mean NSManageObject instances cannot even be returned from calls to NSManagedObjectContext.perform? Ever? Even though in this case, @MainActor matches the context's actor isolation (since it's the view context)?
Of course, in this simple example the controller method could just return the age directly, and more complex scenarios could return Sendable data structures that are instantiated inside the perform closure. But is that really the only legal solution? That would mean a huge refactoring challenge for our app, since we use NSManageObject instances fetched from the view context everywhere. That's what the view context is for, right?
tl;dr: is it possible to return NSManagedObject instances fetched from the view context with Swift 6 strict concurrency enabled, and if so how?
We have an unreleased SwiftData app for iOS18+. While we were testing I saw reports on the forum about unexpected database migrations for codable arrays on iOS26.1.
I'd like to ask a couple of questions:
1- Does this issue originate from the new Xcode version, or is it specific to iOS 26.1?
2- Is it possible to change our attribute so that users on older iOS versions receive the same model, preventing a migration from being triggered when they upgrade to iOS 26.1?
One of our models looks like this:
struct Point: Codable, Hashable {
let x: Int
let y: Int
}
@Model
class Grid {
private(set) var gridId: String = ""
var points: [Point] = []
var updatedAt: Date = Date()
private(set) var createdAt: Date = Date()
#Index<Grid>([\.gridId])
...
}
I can think of some options like:
// 1
@Attribute(.transformable(by: CustomJsonTransformer.self)) var points: [Point] = []
// 2
@Attribute(.externalStorage) var points: [Point] = []
// 3
var points: Data = Data() // store points as data
However, I'm not sure which one to use.
What would you recommend to handle this, or is there a better strategy you would suggest?
