Hi, I’m working on a macOS app that includes a file browser component. And I’m trying to match Finder’s behavior for color tags and folder icons. For local files/folders everything works fine: Tag color key returns the expected label number via NSColor * labelColor = nil; [fileURL getResourceValue:&labelColor forKey:NSURLLabelColorKey error:nil]; NSNumber * labelKey = nil; [fileURL getResourceValue:&labelKey forKey:NSURLLabelNumberKey error:nil]; QLThumbnailGenerator obtains the expected colored folder icon (including emoji/symbol overlay if set) via QLThumbnailGenerationRequest * request = [[QLThumbnailGenerationRequest alloc] initWithFileAtURL:fileURL size:iconSize scale:scaleFactor representationTypes:QLThumbnailGenerationRequestRepresentationTypeIcon]; request.iconMode = YES; [[QLThumbnailGenerator sharedGenerator] generateBestRepresentationForRequest:request completionHandler:^(QLThumbnailRepresentation * _Nullable thumbnail, NSError * _Nullable error) { if (thumbnail != nil && error == nil) { NSImage * thumbnailImage = [thumbnail NSImage]; // ... } }]; However, for items on iCloud Drive (whether currently downloaded locally or only stored in the cloud), the same code always produces gray colors, while Finder shows everything correctly: NSURLLabelNumberKey always returns 1 (gray) for items with color tags, and 0 for non-tagged. Folder icons returned via QLThumbnailGenerator are gray, no emoji/symbol overlays. Reading tag data from xattr gives values like “Green\1” (tag name matches, but numeric value is still "Gray"). Also, if I move a correctly-tagged local item into iCloud Drive, it immediately becomes gray in my app (Finder still shows the correct colors). Question: What is the supported way to retrieve Finder tag colors and the correct folder icon appearance (color + overlays) for items in iCloud Drive, so that the result matches Finder? I am on macOS Tahoe 26.2/26.3, Xcode 26.2 (17C52). If you need any additional details, please let me know. Thanks!

Hello, SwiftData is not working correctly with Swift Concurrency. And it’s sad after all this time. I personally found a regression. The attached code works perfectly fine on iOS 17.5 but doesn’t work correctly on iOS 18 or iOS 18.1. A model can be updated from the background (Task, Task.detached or ModelActor) and refreshes the UI, but as soon as the same item is updated from the View (fetched via a Query), the next background updates are not reflected anymore in the UI, the UI is not refreshed, the updates are not merged into the main. How to reproduce: Launch the app Tap the plus button in the navigation bar to create a new item Tap on the “Update from Task”, “Update from Detached Task”, “Update from ModelActor” many times Notice the time is updated Tap on the “Update from View” (once or many times) Notice the time is updated Tap again on “Update from Task”, “Update from Detached Task”, “Update from ModelActor” many times Notice that the time is not update anymore Am I doing something wrong? Or is this a bug in iOS 18/18.1? Many other posts talk about issues where updates from background thread are not merged into the main thread. I don’t know if they all are related but it would be nice to have 1/ bug fixed, meaning that if I update an item from a background, it’s reflected in the UI, and 2/ proper documentation on how to use SwiftData with Swift Concurrency (ModelActor). I don’t know if what I’m doing in my buttons is correct or not. Thanks, Axel import SwiftData import SwiftUI @main struct FB_SwiftData_BackgroundApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() .modelContainer(for: Item.self) } } } struct ContentView: View { @Environment(\.modelContext) private var modelContext @State private var simpleModelActor: SimpleModelActor! @Query private var items: [Item] var body: some View { NavigationView { VStack { if let firstItem: Item = items.first { Text(firstItem.timestamp, format: Date.FormatStyle(date: .omitted, time: .standard)) .font(.largeTitle) .fontWeight(.heavy) Button("Update from Task") { let modelContainer: ModelContainer = modelContext.container let itemID: Item.ID = firstItem.persistentModelID Task { let context: ModelContext = ModelContext(modelContainer) guard let itemInContext: Item = context.model(for: itemID) as?

I have a Package.swift file that builds and runs from Xcode 15.2 without issue but fails to compile when built from the command line ("swift build"). The swift version is 6.0.3. I'm at wits end trying to diagnose this and would welcome any thoughts. The error in question is error: external macro implementation type 'SwiftDataMacros.PersistentModelMacro' could not be found for macro 'Model()'; plugin for module 'SwiftDataMacros' not found The code associated with the module is very vanilla. import Foundation import SwiftData @Model public final class MyObject { @Attribute(.unique) public var id:Int64 public var vertexID:Int64 public var updatedAt:Date public var codeUSRA:Int32 init(id:Int64, vertexID:Int64, updatedAt:Date, codeUSRA:Int32) { self.id = id self.vertexID = vertexID self.updatedAt = updatedAt self.codeUSRA = codeUSRA } public static func create(id:Int64, vertexID:Int64, updatedAt:Date, codeUSRA:Int32) -> MyObject { MyObject(id: id, vertexID: vertexID, updatedAt: updatedAt, codeUSRA: codeUSRA) } } Thank you.

Experiencing a crash that is only reproducible on TestFlight or AppStore version of the app, note this does not happen when running from Xcode. I've isolated the problem to sort argument being added to @Query that fetches a model that sorts based on inherited property. To reproduce: @Model class SuperModel { var createdAt: Date = .now } @available(macOS 26.0, *) @Model class SubModel: SuperModel { } @Query(sort: \SubModel.createdAt, animation: .default) private var models: [SubModel]

Hi everyone, I’m working on an offline-first iOS app using Core Data. I have a question about safe future updates: in my project, I want to be able to add new optional fields to existing Entities or even completely new Entities in future versions — but nothing else (no renaming, deleting, or type changes). Here’s how my current PersistenceController looks: import CoreData struct PersistenceController { static let shared = PersistenceController() let container: NSPersistentContainer init(inMemory: Bool = false) { container = NSPersistentContainer(name: "MyApp") if inMemory { container.persistentStoreDescriptions.first!.url = URL(fileURLWithPath: "/dev/null") } container.loadPersistentStores(completionHandler: { (storeDescription, error) in if let error = error as NSError? { print("Core Data failed to load store: \(error), \(error.userInfo)") } }) container.viewContext.automaticallyMergesChangesFromParent = true } } Do I need to explicitly set these properties to ensure lightweight migration works? shouldMigrateStoreAutomatically = true shouldInferMappingModelAutomatically = true Or, according to the documentation, are they already true by default, so I can safely add optional fields and new Entities in future versions without breaking users’ existing data? Thanks in advance for your guidance!

Hi everyone, I'm looking for the correct architectural guidance for my SwiftData implementation. In my Swift project, I have dedicated async functions for adding, editing, and deleting each of my four models. I created these functions specifically to run certain logic whenever these operations occur. Since these functions are asynchronous, I call them from the UI (e.g., from a button press) by wrapping them in a Task. I've gone through three different approaches and am now stuck. Approach 1: @MainActor Functions Initially, my functions were marked with @MainActor and worked on the main ModelContext. This worked perfectly until I added support for App Intents and Widgets, which caused the app to crash with data race errors. Approach 2: Passing ModelContext as a Parameter To solve the crashes, I decided to have each function receive a ModelContext as a parameter. My SwiftUI views passed the main context (which they get from @Environment(\.modelContext)), while the App Intents and Widgets created and passed in their own private context. However, this approach still caused the app to crash sometimes due to data race errors, especially during actions triggered from the main UI. Approach 3: Creating a New Context in Each Function I moved to a third approach where each function creates its own ModelContext to work on. This has successfully stopped all crashes. However, now the UI actions don't always react or update. For example, when an object is added, deleted, or edited, the change isn't reflected in the UI. I suspect this is because the main context (driving the UI) hasn't been updated yet, or because the async function hasn't finished its work. My Question I'm not sure what to do or what the correct logic should be. How should I structure my data operations to support the main UI, Widgets, and App Intents without causing crashes or UI update failures? Here is the relevant code using my third (and current) approach. I've shortened the helper functions for brevity. // MARK: - SwiftData Operations extension DatabaseManager { /// Creates a new assignment and saves it to the database. public func createAssignment( name: String, deadline: Date, notes: AttributedString, forCourseID courseID: UUID, /*...other params...*/ ) async throws -> AssignmentModel { do { let context = ModelContext(container) guard let course = findCourse(byID: courseID, in: context) else { throw DatabaseManagerError.itemNotFound } let newAssignment = AssignmentModel( name: name, deadline: deadline, notes: notes, course: course, /*...other properties...*/ ) context.insert(newAssignment) try context.save() // Schedule notifications and add to calendar _ = try? await scheduleReminder(for: newAssignment) newAssignment.calendarEventIDs = await CalendarManager.shared.addEventToCalendar(for: newAssignment) try context.save() await MainActor.run { WidgetCenter.shared.reloadTimelines(ofKind: "AppWidget") } return newAssignment } catch { throw DatabaseManagerError.saveFailed } } /// Finds a specific course by its ID in a given context. public func findCourse(byID id: UUID, in context: ModelContext) -> CourseModel? { let predicate = #Predicate<CourseModel> { $0.id == id } let fetchDescriptor = FetchDescriptor<CourseModel>(predicate: predicate) return try? context.fetch(fetchDescriptor).first } } // MARK: - Helper Functions (Implementations omitted for brevity) /// Schedules a local user notification for an event. func scheduleReminder(for assignment: AssignmentModel) async throws -> String { // ... Full implementation to create and schedule a UNNotificationRequest return UUID().uuidString } /// Creates a new event in the user's selected calendars. extension CalendarManager { func addEventToCalendar(for assignment: AssignmentModel) async -> [String] { // ... Full implementation to create and save an EKEvent return [UUID().uuidString] } } Thank you for your help.

Hi everyone, In the simple app below, I have a QueryView that has LazyVStack containing 100k TextField's that edit the item's content. The items are fetched with a @Query. On launch, the app will generate 100k items. Once created, when I press any of the TextField's , a severe hang happens, and every time I type a single character, it will cause another hang over and over again. I looked at it in Instruments and it shows that the main thread is busy during the duration of the hang (2.31 seconds) updating QueryView. From the cause and effect graph, the update is caused by @Observable QueryController <Item>.(Bool). Why does it take too long to recalculate the view, given that it's in a LazyVStack? (In other words, why is the hang duration directly proportional to the number of items?) How to fix the performance of this app? I thought adding LazyVStack was all I need to handle the large dataset, but maybe I need to add a custom pagination with .fetchLimit on top of that? (I understand that ModelActor would be an alternative to @Query because it will make the database operations happen outside of the main thread which will fix this problem, but with that I will lose the automatic fetching of @Query.) Thank you for the help! import SwiftData import SwiftUI @main struct QueryPerformanceApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() .modelContainer(for: [Item.self], inMemory: true) } } } @Model final class Item { var name: String init(name: String) { self.name = name } } struct ItemDetail: View { @Bindable var item: Item var body: some View { TextField("Name", text: $item.name) } } struct QueryView: View { @Query private var items: [Item] var body: some View { ScrollView { LazyVStack { ForEach(items) { item in VStack { ItemDetail(item: item) } } } } } } struct ContentView: View { let itemCount = 100_000 @Environment(\.modelContext) private var context @State private var isLoading = true var body: some View { Group { if isLoading { VStack(spacing: 16) { ProgressView() Text("Generating \(itemCount) items...") } } else { QueryView() } } .task { for i in 1...itemCount { context.insert(Item(name: "Item \(i)")) } try? context.save() isLoading = false } } }

There's some logic in my app that first checks to see if a specific CloudKit record zone exists. If it doesn't, it creates the zone, and then my application continues on with its work. The way I've implemented this right now is by catching the zoneNotFound error when I call CKDatabase#recordZone(for:) (docs) and creating the zone when that happens: do { try await db.recordZone(for: zoneID) } catch let ckError as CKError where [.zoneNotFound, .userDeletedZone].contains(ckError.code) { // createZone is a helper function try await createZone(zoneID: zoneID, context: context) } This works great, but every time I do this, an error is logged in CloudKit Console, which creates a lot of noise and makes it harder to see real errors. Is there a way to do this without explicitly triggering a CloudKit error? I just found CKDatabase#recordZones(for:) (docs), which seems like it returns an empty array instead of throwing an error if the zone doesn't exist. Will calling that and looking for a non-empty array work just as well, but without logging lots of errors in the console?

Background I have an established app in the App Store which has been using NSPersistentCloudkitContainer since iOS 13 without any issues. I've been running my app normally on an iOS device running the iOS 15 betas, mainly to see problems arise before my users see them. Ever since iOS 15 (beta 4) my app has failed to sync changes - no matter how small the change. An upload 'starts' but never completes. After a minute or so the app quits to the Home Screen and no useful information can be gleaned from crash reports. Until now I've had no idea what's going on. Possible Bug in the API? I've managed to replicate this behaviour on the simulator and on another device when building my app with Xcode 13 (beta 5) on iOS 15 (beta 5). It appears that NSPersistentCloudkitContainer has a memory leak and keeps ramping up the RAM consumption (and CPU at 100%) until the operating system kills the app. No code of mine is running. I'm not really an expert on these things and I tried to use Instruments to see if that would show me anything. It appears to be related to NSCloudkitMirroringDelegate getting 'stuck' somehow but I have no idea what to do with this information. My Core Data database is not tiny, but not massive by any means and NSPersistentCloudkitContainer has had no problems syncing to iCloud prior to iOS 15 (beta 4). If I restore my App Data (from an external backup file - 700MB with lots of many-many, many-one relationships, ckAssets, etc.) the data all gets added to Core Data without an issue at all. The console log (see below) then shows that a sync is created, scheduled & then started... but no data is uploaded. At this point the memory consumption starts and all I see is 'backgroundTask' warnings appear (only related to CloudKit) with no code of mine running.

Just wondering if anyone else is having a similar issue?

I've submitted this to Apple Feedback and am awaiting a response (FB9412346). If this is unfixable I'm in real trouble (and my users are going to be livid). Thanks in advance!

I'm testing my app before releasing to testers, and my app (both macOS and iOS) is crashing when I perform one operation, but only in the production build. I have data that loads from a remote source, and can be periodically updated. There is an option to delete all of that data from the iCloud data store, unless the user has modified a record. Each table has a flag to indicate that (userEdited). Here's the function that is crashing: func deleteCommonData<T:PersistentModel & SDBuddyModel>(_ type: T.Type) throws { try modelContext.delete(model: T.self, where: #Predicate<T> { !$0.userEdited }) } Here's one of the calls that results in a crash: try modelManager.deleteCommonData(Link.self) Here's the error from iOS Console: SwiftData/DataUtilities.swift:85: Fatal error: Couldn't find \Link.<computed 0x0000000104b9d208 (Bool)> on Link with fields [SwiftData.Schema.PropertyMetadata(name: "id", keypath: \Link.<computed 0x0000000104b09b44 (String)>, defaultValue: Optional("54EC6602-CA7C-4EC7-AC06-16E7F2E22DE7"), metadata: nil), SwiftData.Schema.PropertyMetadata(name: "name", keypath: \Link.<computed 0x0000000104b09b84 (String)>, defaultValue: Optional(""), metadata: nil), SwiftData.Schema.PropertyMetadata(name: "url", keypath: \Link.<computed 0x0000000104b09bc4 (String)>, defaultValue: Optional(""), metadata: nil), SwiftData.Schema.PropertyMetadata(name: "desc", keypath: \Link.<computed 0x0000000104b09c04 (String)>, defaultValue: Optional(""), metadata: nil), SwiftData.Schema.PropertyMetadata(name: "userEdited", keypath: \Link.<computed 0x0000000104b09664 (Bool)>, defaultValue: Optional(false), metadata: nil), SwiftData.Schema.PropertyMetadata(name: "modified", keypath: \Link.<computed 0x0000000104b09c44 (Date)>, defaultVal<…> Here's a fragment of the crash log: Exception Type: EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP) Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000001, 0x000000019373222c Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 5, Trace/BPT trap: 5 Terminating Process: exc handler [80543] Thread 0 Crashed: 0 libswiftCore.dylib 0x19373222c _assertionFailure(_:_:file:line:flags:) + 176 1 SwiftData 0x22a222160 0x22a1ad000 + 479584 2 SwiftData 0x22a2709c0 0x22a1ad000 + 801216 3 SwiftData 0x22a221b08 0x22a1ad000 + 477960 4 SwiftData 0x22a27b0ec 0x22a1ad000 + 844012 5 SwiftData 0x22a27b084 0x22a1ad000 + 843908 6 SwiftData 0x22a28182c 0x22a1ad000 + 870444 7 SwiftData 0x22a2809e8 0x22a1ad000 + 866792 8 SwiftData 0x22a285204 0x22a1ad000 + 885252 9 SwiftData 0x22a281c7c 0x22a1ad000 + 871548 10 SwiftData 0x22a27cf6c 0x22a1ad000 + 851820 11 SwiftData 0x22a27cc48 0x22a1ad000 + 851016 12 SwiftData 0x22a27a6b0 0x22a1ad000 + 841392 13 SwiftData 0x22a285b2c 0x22a1ad000 + 887596 14 SwiftData 0x22a285a10 0x22a1ad000 + 887312 15 SwiftData 0x22a285bcc 0x22a1ad000 + 887756 16 SwiftData 0x22a27cf6c 0x22a1ad000 + 851820 17 SwiftData 0x22a27cc48 0x22a1ad000 + 851016 18 SwiftData 0x22a27a6b0 0x22a1ad000 + 841392 19 SwiftData 0x22a27c0d8 0x22a1ad000 + 848088 20 SwiftData 0x22a27a654 0x22a1ad000 + 841300 21 SwiftData 0x22a1be548 0x22a1ad000 + 70984 22 SwiftData 0x22a1cfd64 0x22a1ad000 + 142692 23 SwiftData 0x22a1b9618 0x22a1ad000 + 50712 24 SwiftData 0x22a1d2e8c 0x22a1ad000 + 155276 25 CoreData 0x187fbb568 thunk for @callee_guaranteed () -> (@out A, @error @owned Error) + 28 26 CoreData 0x187fc2300 partial apply for thunk for @callee_guaranteed () -> (@out A, @error @owned Error) + 24 27 CoreData 0x187fc19c4 closure #1 in closure #1 in NSManagedObjectContext._rethrowsHelper_performAndWait<A>(fn:execute:rescue:) + 192 28 CoreData 0x187fbbda8 thunk for @callee_guaranteed @Sendable () -> () + 28 29 CoreData 0x187fbbdd0 thunk for @escaping @callee_guaranteed @Sendable () -> () + 28 30 CoreData 0x187f663fc developerSubmittedBlockToNSManagedObjectContextPerform + 252 31 libdispatch.dylib 0x180336ac4 _dispatch_client_callout + 16 32 libdispatch.dylib 0x18032c940 _dispatch_lane_barrier_sync_invoke_and_complete + 56 33 CoreData 0x187fd7290 -[NSManagedObjectContext performBlockAndWait:] + 364 34 CoreData 0x187fc1fb8 NSManagedObjectContext.performAndWait<A>(_:) + 544 35 SwiftData 0x22a1b877c 0x22a1ad000 + 46972 36 SwiftData 0x22a1be2a8 0x22a1ad000 + 70312 37 SwiftData 0x22a1c0e34 0x22a1ad000 + 81460 38 SwiftData 0x22a23ea94 0x22a1ad000 + 596628 39 SwiftData 0x22a256828 0x22a1ad000 + 694312 40 Sourdough Buddy 0x104e5dc98 specialized ModelManager.deleteCommonData<A>(_:) + 144 (ModelManager.swift:128) [inlined] 41 Sourdough Buddy 0x104e5dc98 closure #1 in SettingsView.clearStarterData.getter + 876 (SettingsView.swift:243) It works if I do the following instead: try modelContext.delete(model: Link.self, where: #Predicate { !$0.userEdited }) Why would the func call work in development, but crash in production?

Hi, I was testing the new iOS 18 behavior where NSPersistentCloudKitContainer wipes the local Core Data store if the user logs out of iCloud, for privacy purposes. I ran the tests both with a Core Data + CloudKit app, and a simple one using SwiftData with CloudKit enabled. Results were identical in either case. In my testing, most of the time, the feature worked as expected. When I disabled iCloud for my app, the data was wiped (consistent with say the Notes app, except if you disable iCloud it warns you that it'll remove those notes). When I re-enabled iCloud, the data appeared. (all done through the Settings app) However, in scenarios when NSPersistentCloudKitContainer cannot immediately sync -- say due to rate throttling -- and one disables iCloud in Settings, this wipes the local data store and ultimately results in data loss. This occurs even if the changes to the managed objects are saved (to the local store) -- it's simply they aren't synced in time. It can be a little hard to reproduce the issue, especially since when you exit to the home screen from the app, it generally triggers a sync. To avoid this, I swiped up to the screen where you can choose which apps to close, and immediately closed mine. Then, you can disable iCloud, and run the app again (with a debugger is helpful). I once saw a message with something along the lines of export failed (for my record that wasn't synced), and unfortunately it was deleted (and never synced). Perhaps before NSPersistentCloudKitContainer wipes the local store it ought to force sync with the cloud first?

The following complex migration consistently crashes the app with the following error: SwiftData/PersistentModel.swift:726: Fatal error: What kind of backing data is this? SwiftData._KKMDBackingData<SwiftDataMigration.ItemSchemaV1.ItemList> My app relies on a complex migration that involves these optional 1 to n relationships. Theoretically I could not assign the relationships in the willMigrate block but afterwards I am not able to tell which list and items belonged together. Steps to reproduce: Run project Change typealias CurrentSchema to ItemSchemaV2 instead of ItemSchemaV1. Run project again -> App crashes My setup: Xcode Version 16.2 (16C5032a) MacOS Sequoia 15.4 iPhone 12 with 18.3.2 (22D82) Am I doing something wrong or did I stumble upon a bug?

I have been trying to find out the app limits to my app when released into the app store, I understand that in the public database the app worldwide can use 200g of bandwidth free per month. What happens after that? is it throttled? is there a pricing structure for overages? thanks

I'm trying to convert some data, then save it back to Core Data. Sometimes this works fine without an issue, but occasionally I'll get an error Thread 1: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0x0) It seems to occur when saving the core data context.

Hi, I'm considering using the new SwiftData class inheritance for a new app I'm building. I have a few questions: Is it working well enough for production? I have a number of different object types in my app. Some of them are very similar, and there's always a balance to be struck when it comes to splitting them into different types using class inheritance. Are there some good advice on when to use multiple classes instead of squeezing my object types into a single class? Is there advice against using class inheritance in multiple levels (3-4)? Claes

No matter what I do, I keep getting the error Thread 1: EXC_BREAKPOINT (code=1, subcode=0x2648fc364) for the line: transactions = try modelContext.fetch(descriptor) in the code below. My app opens, but freezes on the home page and I can't click anything. I am not sure how to fix initialization issues. I am creating a financial assistant app that connects plaid and opoenai api. var descriptor = FetchDescriptor&lt;ExpenseTransaction&gt;() descriptor.sortBy = [SortDescriptor(\.date, order: .reverse)] descriptor.fetchLimit = 200 transactions = try modelContext.fetch(descriptor) print("Successfully loaded \(transactions.count) transactions") } catch { print("Error in loadLocalTransactions: \(error)") transactions = [] } }

Hi, I am testing a situation with shared CKRecords where the data in the CKRecord syncs fine, but the creatorUserRecordID.recordName and lastModifiedUserRecordID.recordName shows "defaultOwner" (which maps to the CKCurrentUserDefaultName constant) even though I made sure I edit the CKRecord value from a different iCloud account. In fact, on the CloudKit dashboard, it shows the correct user recordIDs in the metadata for the 'Created' and 'Modified' fields, but not in the CKRecord. I am mostly testing this on the iPhone simulator with the debugger attached. Is that a possible reason for this, or is there some other reason the lastModifiedUserRecordID is showing the value for 'CKCurrentUserDefaultName'? It would be pretty difficult to build in functionality to look up changes by a different userID if this is the case.
