I am using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer and I decided to add a property to an entity. I accidentally ran try! container.initializeCloudKitSchema(options: []) while using the production container in Xcode (com.apple.developer.icloud-container-environment) which throw a couple of errors and created some FAKE_ records in my production container. So I changed to my development container and ran the try! container.initializeCloudKitSchema(options: []) and now it succeeded. After that I cleaned up the FAKE_ records scattered in production container but in Xcode when I'm running I now get these logs in the console (and I can't seem to get rid of them): error: CoreData+CloudKit: -[NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate _importFinishedWithResult:importer:](1398): <PFCloudKitImporter: 0x300cc72c0>: Import failed with error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4864 "*** -[NSKeyedUnarchiver _initForReadingFromData:error:throwLegacyExceptions:]: incomprehensible archive (0x53, 0x6f, 0x6d, 0x65, 0x20, 0x73, 0x61, 0x6d)" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=*** -[NSKeyedUnarchiver _initForReadingFromData:error:throwLegacyExceptions:]: incomprehensible archive (0x53, 0x6f, 0x6d, 0x65, 0x20, 0x73, 0x61, 0x6d)} error: CoreData+CloudKit: -[NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate recoverFromError:](2310): <NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate: 0x302695770> - Attempting recovery from error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4864 "*** -[NSKeyedUnarchiver _initForReadingFromData:error:throwLegacyExceptions:]: incomprehensible archive (0x53, 0x6f, 0x6d, 0x65, 0x20, 0x73, 0x61, 0x6d)" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=*** -[NSKeyedUnarchiver _initForReadingFromData:error:throwLegacyExceptions:]: incomprehensible archive (0x53, 0x6f, 0x6d, 0x65, 0x20, 0x73, 0x61, 0x6d)} error: CoreData+CloudKit: -[NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate _recoverFromError:withZoneIDs:forStore:inMonitor:](2620): <NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate: 0x302695770> - Failed to recover from error: NSCocoaErrorDomain:4864 Recovery encountered the following error: (null):0 error: CoreData+CloudKit: -[NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate resetAfterError:andKeepContainer:](610): <NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate: 0x302695770> - resetting internal state after error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4864 "*** -[NSKeyedUnarchiver _initForReadingFromData:error:throwLegacyExceptions:]: incomprehensible archive (0x53, 0x6f, 0x6d, 0x65, 0x20, 0x73, 0x61, 0x6d)" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=*** -[NSKeyedUnarchiver _initForReadingFromData:error:throwLegacyExceptions:]: incomprehensible archive (0x53, 0x6f, 0x6d, 0x65, 0x20, 0x73, 0x61, 0x6d)} error: CoreData+CloudKit: -[NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate _requestAbortedNotInitialized:](2198): <NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate: 0x302695770> - Never successfully initialized and cannot execute request '<NSCloudKitMirroringExportRequest: 0x303a52d00> 548CB420-E378-42E5-9607-D23E7A2A364D' due to error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4864 "*** -[NSKeyedUnarchiver _initForReadingFromData:error:throwLegacyExceptions:]: incomprehensible archive (0x53, 0x6f, 0x6d, 0x65, 0x20, 0x73, 0x61, 0x6d)" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=*** -[NSKeyedUnarchiver _initForReadingFromData:error:throwLegacyExceptions:]: incomprehensible archive (0x53, 0x6f, 0x6d, 0x65, 0x20, 0x73, 0x61, 0x6d)}

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

Swift recently added support for Int128. However, they do need NOT seem to be supported in SwiftData. Now totally possible I'm doing something wrong too. I have the project set to macOS 15 to use a UInt128 in @Model class as attribute. I tried using a clean Xcode project with Swift Data choosen in the macOS app wizard. Everything compiles, but it fails at runtime in both my app and "Xcode default" SwiftData: SwiftData/SchemaProperty.swift:380: Fatal error: Unexpected property within Persisted Struct/Enum: Builtin.Int128 with the only modification to from stock is: @Model final class Item { var timestamp: Date var ipv6: UInt128 init(timestamp: Date) { self.timestamp = timestamp self.ipv6 = 0 } } I have tried both Int128 and UInt128. Both fails exactly the same. In fact, so exactly, when using UInt128 it still show a "Int128" in error message, despite class member being UInt128 . My underlying need is to store an IPv6 addresses with an app, so the newer UInt128 would work to persist it. Since Network Framework IPv6Address is also not compatible, it seems, with SwiftData. So not a lot of good options, other an a String. But for an IPv6 address that suffers from that same address can take a few String forms (i.e. "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000" =="0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0" == "::") which is more annoying than having a few expand Int128 as String separator ":". Ideas welcomed. But potentially a bug in SwiftData since Int128 is both a Builtin and conforms to Codable, so from my reading it should work.

I have a simple app that makes an HTTPS call to gather some JSON which I then parse and add to my SwiftData database. The app then uses a simple @Query in a view to get the data into a list. on iOS 16 this works fine. No problems. But the same code on iOS 26 (targeting iOS 18.5) crashes after about 15 seconds of idle time after the list is populated. The error message is: Could not cast value of type '__NSCFNumber' (0x1f31ee568) to 'NSString' (0x1f31ec718). and occurs when trying to access ANY property of the list. I have a stripped down version of the app that shows the crash available. To replicate the issue: open the project in Xcode 26 target any iOS 26 device or simulator compile and run the project. after the list is displayed, wait about 15 seconds and the app crashes. It is also of note that if you try to run the app again, it will crash immediately, unless you delete the app from the device. Any help on this would be appreciated.

After a recent iOS update, my app is not synching between devices. I'm not seeing or getting any errors. CLoudKit Logs show activity, but it's not happening realtime. Even if I close and reopen the app, it won't sync between devices. It almost looks like it only has local storage now and CloudKit is not working on it anymore. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Use app on two devices with the same Apple ID. Create a user and one device and it won't show up on the other device. Vice Versa.

Something I want to know and all users of CKSyncEngine care about I'm going to build a full stack solution using CKSyncEngine, but what's the near future and the support and maintenance priorities inside Apple for CKSyncEngine? There is only one short video for CKSyncEngine, in 2023, no updates after that, no future plans mentioned. I'm worried that this technology be deprecated or not activity maintained. This is a complex technology, without being activity maintained (or open-sourced) there will be fatal production issues we the developer cannot solve. The CK developer in the video stated that "many apps" were using the framework, but he did not list any. The only named is NSUbiquitousKeyValueStore, but NSUbiquitousKeyValueStore is too simple a use case. I wonder is apple's Notes.app using it, or going to use it? Is SwiftData using it? API Problems The API design seems a little bit tricky, not designed from a user's perspective. handleEvent doesn't contain any context information about which batch. How do I react the event properly? Let's say our sync code and CKSyncEngine, and callbacks are all on a dedicated thread. Consider this: in nextRecordZoneChangeBatch you provided a batch of changes, let's call this BATCH 1, including an item in database with uuid "xxx" and name "yyy" before the changes are uploaded, there are new changes from many OTHER BACKGROUND THREADS made to the database. item "xxx"'s name is now "zzz" handle SentRecordZoneChanges event: I get records that uploaded or failed, but I don't know which BATCH the records belong to. How do I decide if i have to mark "xxx" as finished uploading or not? If I mark xxx as finished that's wrong, the new name "zzz" is not uploaded. I have to compare every field of xxx with the savedRecord to decide if I finished uploading or not? That is not acceptable as the performance and memory will be bad. Other questions I have to add recordIDs to state, and wait for the engine to react. I don't think this is a good idea, because recordID is a CloudKit concept, and what I want to sync is a local database. I don't see any rational for this, or not documented. If the engine is going to ask for a batch of records, you can get all record ids from the batch?

HI, swiftdata is new to me and any help would be appreciated. In my swiftui app I have a functionality that reinstates the database from an archive. I first move the three database files (database.store datebase.store-wal and database.store-shm) to a new name (.tmp added for backup incase) and then copy the Archived three files to the same location. the move creates the following errors: " BUG IN CLIENT OF libsqlite3.dylib: database integrity compromised by API violation: vnode renamed while in use: /private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/499A6802-02E5-4547-83C4-88389AEA50F5/Library/Application Support/database.store.tmp invalidated open fd: 4 (0x20)" I get the same message in console for all three files. then I reinitialise the model container and get no errors as my code below .... let schema = Schema([....my different models are here]) let config = ModelConfiguration("database", schema: schema) do { // Recreate the container with the same store URL let container = try ModelContainer(for: schema, configurations: config) print("ModelContainer reinitialized successfully!") } catch { print("Failed to reinitialize ModelContainer: (error)") } } I get the success message but when I leave the view (backup-restore view) to the main view I get: CoreData: error: (6922) I/O error for database at /var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/499A6802-02E5-4547-83C4-88389AEA50F5/Library/Application Support/database.store.

Hi, I'm working on a macOS app that utilizes SwiftData to save some user generated content to their private databases. It is not clear to me at which point the app I made starts using the production database. I assumed that if I produce a Release build that it will be using the prod db, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I made the mistake of distributing my app to users before "going to prod" with CloudKit. So after I realized what I had done, I inspected my CloudKit dashboard and records and I found the following: For my personal developer account the data is saved in the Developer database correctly and I can inspect it. When I use the "Act as iCloud account" feature and use one of my other accounts to inspect the data, I notice that for the other user, the data is neither in the Development environment nor the Production environment. Which leads me to believe it is only stored locally on that user's machine, since the app does in fact work, it's just not syncing with other devices of the same user. So, my question is: how do I "deploy to production"? I know that there is a Deploy Schema Changes button in the CloudKit dashboard. At which point should I press that? If I press it now, before distributing a new version of my app, will that somehow "signal" the already running apps on user's machines to start using the Production database? Is there a setting in Xcode that I need to check for my Release build, so that the app does in fact start using the production db? Is there a way to detect in the code whether the app is using the Production database or not? It would be useful so I can write appropriate migration logic, since I don't want to loose existing data users already have saved locally.

Hi, I have developed a calendar app with swiftData. I have set it to sync iCloud. When testing it, it seems that everything is fine. But after it's released, today, I uninstalled it and reinstalled it again. And I found that iCloud hasn't sync with local swiftData for six days. I have lost six days agenda and relevant information. I have checked the document, and it's said that there is no method to force to sync with iCloud. How to solve the issue? I think that the users can't forgive that it hasn't synced for six days. Best Wishes,

In my app, I've been using ModelActors in SwiftData, and using actors with a custom executor in Core Data to create concurrency safe services. I have multiple actor services that relate to different data model components or features, each that have their own internally managed state (DocumentService, ImportService, etc). The problem I've ran into, is that I need to be able to use multiple of these services within another service, and those services need to share the same context. Swift 6 doesn't allow passing contexts across actors. The specific problem I have is that I need a master service that makes multiple unrelated changes without saving them to the main context until approved by the user. I've tried to find a solution in SwiftData and Core Data, but both have the same problem which is contexts are not sendable. Read the comments in the code to see the issue: /// This actor does multiple things without saving, until committed in SwiftData. @ModelActor actor DatabaseHelper { func commitChange() throws { try modelContext.save() } func makeChanges() async throws { // Do unrelated expensive tasks on the child context... // Next, use our item service let service = ItemService(modelContainer: SwiftDataStack.shared.container) let id = try await service.expensiveBackgroundTask(saveChanges: false) // Now that we've used the service, we need to access something the service created. // However, because the service created its own context and it was never saved, we can't access it. let itemFromService = context.fetch(id) // fails // We need to be able to access changes made from the service within this service, /// so instead I tried to create the service by passing the current service context, however that results in: // ERROR: Sending 'self.modelContext' risks causing data races let serviceFromContext = ItemService(context: modelContext) // Swift Data doesn't let you create child contexts, so the same context must be used in order to change data without saving. } } @ModelActor actor ItemService { init(context: ModelContext) { modelContainer = SwiftDataStack.shared.container modelExecutor = DefaultSerialModelExecutor(modelContext: context) } func expensiveBackgroundTask(saveChanges: Bool = true) async throws -> PersistentIdentifier? { // Do something expensive... return nil } } Core Data has the same problem: /// This actor does multiple things without saving, until committed in Core Data. actor CoreDataHelper { let parentContext: NSManagedObjectContext let context: NSManagedObjectContext /// In Core Data, I can create a child context from a background context. /// This lets you modify the context and save it without updating the main context. init(progress: Progress = Progress()) { parentContext = CoreDataStack.shared.newBackgroundContext() let childContext = NSManagedObjectContext(concurrencyType: .privateQueueConcurrencyType) childContext.parent = parentContext self.context = childContext } /// To commit changes, save the parent context pushing them to the main context. func commitChange() async throws { // ERROR: Sending 'self.parentContext' risks causing data races try await parentContext.perform { try self.parentContext.save() } } func makeChanges() async throws { // Do unrelated expensive tasks on the child context... // As with the Swift Data example, I am unable to create a service that uses the current actors context from here. // ERROR: Sending 'self.context' risks causing data races let service = ItemService(context: self.context) } } Am I going about this wrong, or is there a solution to fix these errors? Some services are very large and have their own internal state. So it would be very difficult to merge all of them into a single service. I also am using Core Data, and SwiftData extensively so I need a solution for both. I seem to have trapped myself into a corner trying to make everything concurrency save, so any help would be appreciated!

Some users of my app are reporting total loss of data while using the app. This is happening specifically when they enable iCloud sync. I am doing following private func setupContainer(enableICloud: Bool) { container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: "") container.viewContext.automaticallyMergesChangesFromParent = true container.viewContext.mergePolicy = NSMergeByPropertyObjectTrumpMergePolicy guard let description: NSPersistentStoreDescription = container.persistentStoreDescriptions.first else { fatalError() } description.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: NSPersistentHistoryTrackingKey) description.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: NSPersistentStoreRemoteChangeNotificationPostOptionKey) if enableICloud == false { description.cloudKitContainerOptions = nil } container.loadPersistentStores { description, error in if let error { // Handle error } } } When user clicks on Toggle to enable/disable iCloud sync I just set the description.cloudKitContainerOptions to nil and then user is asked to restart the app. Apart from that I periodically run the clear history func deleteTransactionHistory() { let sevenDaysAgo = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .day, value: -7, to: Date())! let purgeHistoryRequest = NSPersistentHistoryChangeRequest.deleteHistory(before: sevenDaysAgo) let backgroundContext = container.newBackgroundContext() backgroundContext.performAndWait { try! backgroundContext.execute(purgeHistoryRequest) } }

I am trying to port my application over to CloudKit. My app worked fine before, but then I made scheme of changes and am trying to deploy to a new container. For some reason, the database is not being created after I create the container through Xcode. I think I have configured the app correctly and a container was created, but no records were deployed. My app current stores data locally on individual devices just fine but they don't sync with each other. That's why I would like to use CloudKit. See screenshot from Xcode of where I have configured the container. I also have background notifications enabled. Also see screenshot from console where the container has been created, but no records have been. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I have a very simple CoreData model that has 1 entity and 2 attributes. This code works fine: .onChange(of: searchText) { _, text in evnts.nsPredicate = text.isEmpty ? nil :NSPredicate(format: "eventName CONTAINS %@ " , text ) but I'd like to also search with the same text string for my second attribute (which is a Date). I believe an OR is appropriate for two conditions (find either one). See attempted code below: evnts.nsPredicate = text.isEmpty ? nil : NSPredicate(format: "(eventName CONTAINS %@) OR (dueDate CONTAINS %i) " , text ) This crashes immediately %@ does the same. Is there a way to accomplish this? How is SwiftUI not an option below?

I just released an App update the didn't touch ANYTHING to do with Core Data (nothing changed in our Coredata code for at least 8 months). The update uses SDK for iOS 18 and Xcode 16.2 and the app now requires iOS 18 and was a minor bug patch and UI improvements for recent iOS changes. Since the update we are getting a steady trickle of users on iOS 18, some who allow the App to store data in iCloud (Cloudkit) and others who do not, all reporting that after the update to our recent release ALL their data is gone?! I had not seen this on ANY device until today when I asked a friend who uses the App if they had the issue and it turned out they did, so I hooked their device up to Xcode and ALL the data in the CoreData database was gone?! They are NOT using iCloud. There were no errors or exceptions on Xcode console but a below code returned NO records at all?! Chart is custom entity and is defined as: @interface Chart : NSManagedObject {} let moc = pc.viewContext let chartsFetch = NSFetchRequest<NSFetchRequestResult>(entityName:"Charts") // Fetch all Charts do { let fetchedCharts = try moc.fetch(chartsFetch) as! [Chart] for chart in fetchedCharts { .... } } A break point inside the do on fetchedCharts show there are NO objects returned. This is a serious issue and seems like an iOS 18 thing. I saw some people talking in here about NSFetchRequest issues with iOS 18. I need some guidance here from someone Apple engineer here who knows what the status of these NSFetchrequest bugs are and what possible workarounds are. Becasue this problem will grow for me as more users update to iOS 18.

Good morning everyone! Today I have a question about using SwiftData with CloudKit and Widgets. I recently set up my project for SwiftData and CloudKit synchronization, but for some reason, I’m not able to give my Widget access to this data. CloudKit works perfectly fine for my main app, but the Widget only shows placeholder data(the placeholder data which were defined in the get functions as catch, this is sure). I have set the CloudKit capability for my Widget extension and tried fetching data with the get-functions in the code below. I also ensured that the data model files are members of the Widget extension target and that the Widget extension uses the same CloudKit container as the main app. I wondered if it is possible and reasonable to save a copy of my CloudKit data in an App Group container, but in that case, the information shown in the Widget are not always up-to-date, so a solution that fetches data directly from CloudKit would be better. Has anyone had experience with this case? I couldn’t find much information about this problem online. In the code below, many parts have been deleted or altered because they are not relevant to the problem, as they don’t fetch data. The variables, functions, and data models in the code may sometimes have German names, but I hope you can still understand it. Thanks for your help! struct Provider: AppIntentTimelineProvider { //[Placeholder and snapshot] func timeline(for configuration: ConfigurationAppIntent, in context: Context) async -> Timeline<CleverEntry> { let entry = await loadAllVariables() return Timeline(entries: [entry], policy: .after(Date().addingTimeInterval(60 * 5))) } @MainActor private func getExam() -> [PruefungM] { //Old, local version /* guard let modelContainer = try?

Hi, I have designed an app which needs to reschedule notifications according to the user's calendar at midnight. The function has been implemented successfully via backgroundtask. But since the app has enabled iCloud sync, some users will edit their calendar on their iPad and expect that the notifications will be sent promptly to them on iPhone without launching the app on their iPhone. But the problem is that if they haven't launched the app on their iPhone, iCloud sync won't happen. The notifications on their iPhone haven't been updated and will be sent wrongly. How can I design some codes to let iCloud sync across the devices without launching the app at midnight and then reschedule notifications?

I implemented the cloudkit function, where users can connect with each other. The problem is, that if User A is doing a friend request and User B is accepting the request. The friend entry is correct visible for User B but not for User A. I can see in cloud kit that after the accepted request, the friend connection is set up correctly, also with the correct userID, but it not showing up for User A (the one that send the request)

I'm working on a new app with SwiftData and now adding CloudKit Sync. Everything is working fine in the simulator against the development CloudKit Schema. I successfully deployed the schema to production. However, the TestFlight builds fail against production. This is what I see in the logs, but I haven't been able to find info on how to fix it. Help appreciated.
