The message filtering documentation is offline
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? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sms_and_call_reporting/sms_and_mms_message_filtering (I just chose topic/tags at random, there aren't any relevant for this)

Core Data and Swift 6 concurrency: returning an NSManagedObject
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?

Feedback/issues for SwiftData custom store
Hello, thank you Apple for supporting custom store with SwiftData and the Schema type is superb to work with. I have successfully set one up with SQL and have some feedback and issues regarding its APIs. There’s a highlighted message in the documentation about not using internal restricted symbols directly, but they contradict with the given protocols and I am concerned about breaking any App Store rules. Are we allowed to use these? If not, they should be opened up as they’re useful. BackingData is required to set up custom snapshots, initialization, and getting/setting values. And I want to use it with createBackingData() to directly initialize instances from snapshots when transferring them between server and client or concurrency. RelationshipCollection for casting to-many relationships from backing data or checking if an array contains a PersistentModel. SchemaProperty for type erasure in a collection. Schema.Relationship has KeyPath properties, but it is missing for Schema.Attribute and Schema.CompositeAttribute. Which means you can’t purely depend on the schema to map data. I am unable to access the properties of a custom struct type in a predicate unless I use Mirror with schemaMetadata() or CustomStringConvertible on the KeyPath directly to extract it. Trivial, but… the KeyPath property name is inconsistent (it’s all lowercase). It would be nice to retrieve property names from custom struct types, since you are unable access CodingKeys that are auto synthesized by Codable for structs. But I recently realized they’re a part Schema.CompositeAttribute, however I don’t know how to match these without the KeyPath… I currently map my entities using CodingKeys to their PredicateCodableKeyPathProviding.… but I wish for a simpler alternative! It’s unclear how to provide the schema to the snapshot before new models are created. I currently use a static property, but I want to make it flexible if more schemas and configurations are added later on. I considered saving and loading the schema in a temporary location, but doubtful that the KeyPath values will be available as they are not Codable. I suspect schemaMetadata() has the information I need to map the backing data without a schema for snapshots, but as mentioned previously, properties are inaccessible… Allow access to entity metatypes, like value types from SchemaProperty. They’re useful for getting data out of snapshots and casting them to CodingKeys and PredicateCodableKeyPathProviding. They do not carry over when you provide them in the Schema. I am unable to retrieve the primary key from PersistentIdentifier. It seems like once you create one, you can’t get it out, like the DataStoreConfiguration in ModelContainer is not the one you used to set it up. I cannot cast it, it is an entirely different struct? I have to use JSONSerialization to extract it, but I want to get it directly since it is not a column in my database. It is transformed when it goes to/from my tables. It’s unknown how to support some schema options, such as Spotlight and CloudKit. Allow for extending macro options, such as adding options to set as primary key, whether to auto increment, etc… You can create a schema for super and sub entities, but it doesn’t appear you can actually set them up from the @Model macro or use inheritance on these models… SwiftData history tracking seems incomplete for HistoryDelete, because that protocol requires HistoryTombstone, but this type cannot be instantiated, nor does it contain anything useful to infer from. As an aside, I want to create my own custom ModelActor that is a global actor. However, I’m unable to replicate the executor that Apple provides where the executor has a ModelContext, because this type does not conform to Sendable. So how did Apple do this? The documentation doesn’t mention unchecked Sendable, but I figure if the protocol is available then we would be able to set up our own. And please add concurrency features! Anyway, I hope for more continued support in the future and I am looking forward to what’s new this WWDC! 😊

Using Observation class for multiple SwiftData Models
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 } }

iCloud Database Errors and Limits
We are currently implementing a custom iCloud sync for our macOS and iOS apps using CloudKit. Syncing works fine as long as the number of record sends is relatively small. But when we test with a large number of changes ( 80,000+ CKRecords ) we start running into problems. Our sending strategy is very conservative to avoid rate limits: We send records sequentially in batches of 250 records With about 2 seconds pause between operations Records are small and contain no assets (assets are uploaded separately) At some point we start receiving: “Database commit size exceeds limit” After that, CloudKit begins returning rate-limit errors with retryAfter-Information in the error. We wait for the retry time and try again, but from this moment on, nothing progresses anymore. Every subsequent attempt fails. We could not find anything in the official documentation regarding such a “commit size” limit or what triggers this failure state. So my questions are: Are there undocumented limits on the total number of records that can exist in an iCloud database (private or shared)? Is there a maximum volume of record modifications a container can accept within a certain timeframe, even if operations are split into small batches with pauses? Is it possible that sending large numbers of records in a row can temporarily or permanently “stall” a CloudKit container? Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

CloudKit sign in error in normal tab
Hi, I'm trying to sign in with Apple CloudKit. I'm using the following code: 'use client'; import { CLOUDKIT_CONSTANTS } from '@/constants/cloudkit'; import { setCloudKitConfigured } from '@/lib/cloudkitSingleton'; import { CloudKitStatic } from '@/types/cloudkit'; import Script from 'next/script'; declare global { interface Window { CloudKit: CloudKitStatic; } } export default function Home() { const initializeCloudKit = async () =&gt; { console.info('⭐️ initializeCloudKit - start'); // 古い認証情報を削除 try { // LocalStorageから古い認証情報を削除 const keysToRemove = []; for (let i = 0; i &lt; localStorage.length; i++) { const key = localStorage.key(i); if (key &amp;&amp; (key.includes('cloudkit') || key.includes('CloudKit'))) { keysToRemove.push(key); } } keysToRemove.forEach(key =&gt; localStorage.removeItem(key)); // SessionStorageからも削除 const sessionKeysToRemove = []; for (let i = 0; i &lt; sessionStorage.length; i++) { const key = sessionStorage.key(i); if (key &amp;&amp; (key.includes('cloudkit') || key.includes('CloudKit'))) { sessionKeysToRemove.push(key); } } sessionKeysToRemove.forEach(key =&gt; sessionStorage.removeItem(key)); console.log('古い認証情報を削除しました'); } catch (cleanupError) { console.warn('認証情報のクリーンアップ中にエラー:', cleanupError); } try { const cloudKit = window.CloudKit.configure({ containers: [ { containerIdentifier: 'XXXXXX', apiTokenAuth: { apiToken: 'XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX', persist: false, signInButton: { id: 'cloudkit-sign-in-button', theme: 'black', }, signOutButton: { id: 'cloudkit-sign-out-button', theme: 'black', }, }, environment: 'development', }, ], }); console.info('⭐️ cloudKit', cloudKit); setCloudKitConfigured(true); const container = cloudKit.getDefaultContainer(); console.info('⭐️ CloudKit configured, setting up auth...'); // 初期認証状態をチェック try { const initialUser = await container.setUpAuth(); console.info('⭐️ setUpAuth result:', initialUser); } catch (authError) { console.info('⭐️ setUpAuth error (expected for unauthenticated):', authError); } // CloudKitの標準コールバックも併用(念のため) try { container.whenUserSignsIn().then((userInfo: any) =&gt; { console.info('⭐️ CALLBACK: whenUserSignsIn fired!', userInfo); }); container.whenUserSignsOut().then(() =&gt; { console.info('⭐️ CALLBACK: whenUserSignsOut fired!'); }); } catch (callbackError) { console.info('⭐️ Callback setup error (non-critical):', callbackError); } console.info('⭐️ initializeCloudKit - completed'); } catch (error) { console.error('⭐️ Critical CloudKit initialization error:', error); } }; return ( &lt;&gt; &lt;Script src="https://cdn.apple-cloudkit.com/ck/2/cloudkit.js" strategy="afterInteractive" onLoad={() =&gt; { initializeCloudKit(); }} onError={error =&gt; { console.error('⭐️ CloudKit initialization error:', error); }} /&gt; &lt;div id="cloudkit-sign-in-button" /&gt; &lt;div id="cloudkit-sign-out-button" /&gt; &lt;/&gt; ); } 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 cloudkit.js:14 GET https://api.apple-cloudkit.com/database/1/XXXXXX/XXXXXX/public/users/caller?ckjsBuildVersion=2420ProjectDev22&amp;ckjsVersion=2.6.4&amp;clientId=XXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXXX&amp; ckAPIToken=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX 421 (Misdirected Request) 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!

Open child windows for a document in a document based SwiftData app
In a document based SwiftData app for macOS, how do you go about opening a (modal) child window connected to the ModelContainer of the currently open document? Using .sheet() does not really result in a good UX, as the appearing view lacks the standard window toolbar. Using a separate WindowGroup with an argument would achieve the desired UX. However, as WindowGroup arguments need to be Hashable and Codable, there is no way to pass a ModelContainer or a ModelContext there: WindowGroup(id: "myWindowGroup", for: MyWindowGroupArguments.self) { $args in ViewThatOpensInAWindow(args: args) } Is there any other way?

CloudKit Dashboard completely empty (no containers at all) while Xcode 26 still shows my production container iCloud.gainzCloud and builds fine – Tahoe 26.1 / Xcode 26.0 (17A321)
Hi, I’m completely stuck with a very strange CloudKit problem that started recently and has now killed all iCloud sync for a live production app. What is happening Production container: iCloud.gainzCloud (created ~11 months ago, has been working perfectly until now) In Xcode 26.0 (17A321): → Signing & Capabilities → iCloud is enabled → Container correctly shows as iCloud.gainzCloud → App builds and runs on device/simulator with zero provisioning or container errors CloudKit Dashboard (https://icloud.developer.apple.com/dashboard/): completely blank – “No containers found” Result: CloudKit sync is dead for every user (development + production environments) What I know for sure Apple Developer Support confirmed the container iCloud.gainzCloud still exists and is correctly attached to my Team ID on their backend Personal iCloud (Mail, Notes, Photos, etc.) syncs perfectly on the same Mac / same Apple ID under macOS Tahoe 26.1 I have NOT changed the password on either the Apple ID or the Developer Program account New containers I create appear in Xcode but never show up in the Dashboard Environment macOS Tahoe 26.1 (latest) Xcode Version 26.0 (17A321) Has anyone on the new Tahoe/Xcode 26 releases seen the CloudKit Dashboard suddenly go completely empty while Xcode still “sees” the container just fine? Any known trick to force the dashboard to re-index containers or clear whatever cache is broken? Thanks a lot in advance – this is blocking all iCloud functionality for a released app with active users.

Export/Import data with SwiftData
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...

CloudKit is not synchronizing with coredata for relationships
In core-data I have a contact and location entity. I have one-to-many relationship from contact to locations and one-to-one from location to contact. I create contact in a seperate view and save it. Later I create a location, fetch the created contact, and save it while specifying the relationship between location and contact contact and test if it actually did it and it works. viewContext.perform { do { // Set relationship using the generated accessor method currentContact.addToLocations(location) try viewContext.save() print("Saved successfully. Locations count:", currentContact.locations?.count ?? 0) if let locs = currentContact.locations { print("📍 Contact has \(locs.count) locations.") for loc in locs { print("➡️ Location: \(String(describing: (loc as AnyObject).locationName ?? "Unnamed"))") } } } catch { print("Failed to save location: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } In my NSManagedObject class properties I have this : for Contact: @NSManaged public var locations: NSSet? for Location: @NSManaged public var contact: Contact? in my persistenceController I have: for desc in [publicStore, privateStore] { desc.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: NSPersistentStoreRemoteChangeNotificationPostOptionKey) desc.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: NSPersistentHistoryTrackingKey) desc.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: NSMigratePersistentStoresAutomaticallyOption) desc.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: NSInferMappingModelAutomaticallyOption) desc.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: "CKSyncCoreDataDebug") // Optional: Debug sync // Add these critical options for relationship sync desc.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: "NSPersistentStoreCloudKitEnforceRecordExistsKey") desc.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: "NSPersistentStoreCloudKitMaintainReferentialIntegrityKey") // Add this specific option to force schema update desc.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: "NSPersistentStoreRemoteStoreUseCloudKitSchemaKey") } When synchronization happens on CloudKit side, it creates CKRecords: CD_Contact and CD_Location. However for CD_Location it creates the relationship CD_contact as a string and references the CD_Contact. This I thought should have come as REFERENCE On the CD_Contact there is no CD_locations field at all. I do see the relationships being printed on coredata side but it does not come as REFERENCE on cloudkit. Spent over a day on this. Is this normal, what am I doing wrong here? Can someone advise?

CloudKit Query on Custom Indexed Field fails with misleading "createdBy is not queryable" error
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,

SwiftData and @Query to find all records for the current date of a multidatepicker (Set = [])
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 = [].

SwiftData with CloudKit Sync Issue
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?

iCloud Drive changes in iOS 18.4 and later break stated API
The NSMetadataUbiquitousItemDownloadingStatusKey indicates the status of a ubiquitous (iCloud Drive) file. A key value of NSMetadataUbiquitousItemDownloadingStatusDownloaded is defined as indicating there is a local version of this file available. The most current version will get downloaded as soon as possible . However this no longer occurs since iOS 18.4. A ubiquitous file may remain in the NSMetadataUbiquitousItemDownloadingStatusDownloaded state for an indefinite period. There is a workaround: call [NSFileManager startDownloadingUbiquitousItemAtURL: error:] however this shouldn't be necessary, and introduces delays over the previous behaviour. Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Is this a permanent change? FB17662379

Develop a piece of code to force iCloud Drive sync
Hello, I apologize if this post could be slightly out of forum topic but I have one issue that I cannot solve. I tried a few times to call Apple support but the only indication that have given to me is to try with this forum. The issue I have is simple. Sometimes the modifications performed on iCloud Drive on one computer are not properly synced between the local folder /Users/[username]/Library/Mobile Documents/... and the cloud and therefore are not shared across all devices that use the same iCloud Drive. This is very disturbing as it may lead to a data loss. I would like to write a simple software that activates the iCloud Drive sync between the local iCloud folder /Users/[username]/Library/Mobile Documents/... and the Cloud. A simple macOS bash script would be fine but also other pieces of software are welcome. Can anyone please help me? Thanks! Daniele

Persistent CloudKit Server-to-Server INTERNAL_ERROR (500) Despite Correct Key Parsing & Request Formatting for /users/current
Hello Devs, I'm encountering a persistent INTERNAL_ERROR (HTTP 500) when making Server-to-Server API calls to CloudKit, specifically when trying to hit the /users/current endpoint, even after meticulously verifying all client-side components. I'm hoping someone might have insight into what could cause this. Context: Goal: Authenticate to CloudKit from a Vercel Serverless Function (Node.js) to perform operations like record queries. Problem Endpoint: POST https://api.apple-cloudkit.com/database/1/iCloud.com.dannybaseball.Danny-Baseball/production/public/users/current Key Generation Method: Using the CloudKit Dashboard's "Tokens &amp; Keys" -&gt; "New Server-to-Server Key" flow, where I generate the private key using openssl ecparam -name prime256v1 -genkey -noout -out mykey.pem, then extract the public key using openssl ec -in mykey.pem -pubout, and paste the public key material (between BEGIN/END markers) into the dashboard. The private key was then converted to PKCS#8 format using openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -nocrypt -in mykey.pem -out mykey_pkcs8.pem. Current Setup Being Tested (in a Vercel Node.js function): CLOUDKIT_CONTAINER: iCloud.com.dannybaseball.Danny-Baseball CLOUDKIT_KEY_ID: 9368dddf141ce9bc0da743b9f69bc3eda132b9bb3e62a4167e428d4f320b656e (This is the Key ID generated from the CloudKit Dashboard for the public key I provided). CLOUDKIT_P8_KEY (Environment Variable): Contains the base64 encoded string of the entire content of my PKCS#8 formatted private key file. Key Processing in Code: const p8Base64 = process.env.CLOUDKIT_P8_KEY; const privateKeyPEM = Buffer.from(p8Base64, 'base64').toString('utf8'); // This privateKeyPEM string starts with "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----" and ends with "-----END PRIVATE KEY-----" const privateKey = crypto.createPrivateKey({ key: privateKeyPEM, format: 'pem' }); // This line SUCCEEDS without DECODER errors in my Vercel function logs. Use code with caution. JavaScript Request Body for /users/current: "{}" Signing String (message = Date:BodyHash:Path): Date: Correct ISO8601 format (e.g., "2025-05-21T19:38:11.886Z") BodyHash: Correct SHA256 hash of "{}", then Base64 encoded (e.g., "RBNvo1WzZ4oRRq0W9+hknpT7T8If536DEMBg9hyq/4o=") Path: Exactly /database/1/iCloud.com.dannybaseball.Danny-Baseball/production/public/users/current Headers: X-Apple-CloudKit-Request-KeyID: Set to the correct Key ID. X-Apple-CloudKit-Request-ISO8601Date: Set to the date used in the signature. X-Apple-CloudKit-Request-SignatureV1: Set to the generated signature. X-Apple-CloudKit-Environment: "production" Content-Type: "application/json" Observed Behavior &amp; Logs: The Node.js crypto.createPrivateKey call successfully parses the decoded PEM key in my Vercel function. The request is sent to CloudKit. CloudKit responds with HTTP 500 and the following JSON body (UUID varies per request): { "uuid": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx", "serverErrorCode": "INTERNAL_ERROR" } Use code with caution. Json This happens consistently. Previously, with other key pairs or different P8 processing attempts, I was getting AUTHENTICATION_FAILED (401) or local DECODER errors. Now that the key parsing is successful on my end with this current key pair and setup, I'm hitting this INTERNAL_ERROR. Troubleshooting Done: Verified Key ID (9368dddf...) is correct and corresponds to the key generated via CloudKit Dashboard. Verified Container ID (iCloud.com.dannybaseball.Danny-Baseball) is correct. Successfully parsed the private key from the environment variable (after base64 decoding) within the Vercel function. Meticulously checked the signing string components (Date, BodyHash, Path) against Apple's documentation. Path format is /database/1////. Ensured all required headers are present with correct values. Local Node.js tests (bypassing Vercel but using the same key data and signing logic) also result in this INTERNAL_ERROR. Question: What could cause CloudKit to return an INTERNAL_ERROR (500) for a /users/current request when the client-side key parsing is successful and all request components (path, body hash for signature, date, headers) appear to conform exactly to the Server-to-Server Web Services Reference? Are there any known subtle issues with EC keys generated via openssl ecparam (and then converted to PKCS#8) that might lead to this, even if crypto.createPrivateKey parses them in Node.js? Could there be an issue with my specific Key ID or container that would manifest this way, requiring Apple intervention? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I can provide more detailed logs of the request components if needed. Thank you!
