Hi everyone, I’ve been working on migrating my app (SwimTimes, which helps swimmers track their times) to use Core Data + CKSyncEngine with Swift 6. After many iterations, forum searches, and experimentation, I’ve created a focused sample project that demonstrates the architecture I’m using. The good news: 👉 I believe the crashes I was experiencing are now solved, and the sync behavior is working correctly. 👉 The demo project compiles and runs cleanly with Swift 6. However, before adopting this as the final architecture, I’d like to ask the community (and hopefully Apple engineers) to validate a few critical points, especially regarding Swift 6 concurrency and Core Data contexts. Architecture Overview Persistence layer: Persistence.swift sets up the Core Data stack with a main viewContext and a background context for CKSyncEngine. Repositories: All Core Data access is abstracted into repository classes (UsersRepository, SwimTimesRepository), with async/await methods. SyncEngine: Wraps CKSyncEngine, handles system fields, sync tokens, and bridging between Core Data entities and CloudKit records. ViewModels: Marked @MainActor, exposing @Published arrays for SwiftUI. They never touch Core Data directly, only via repositories. UI: Simple SwiftUI views bound to the ViewModels. Entities: UserEntity → represents swimmers. SwimTimeEntity → times linked to a user (1-to-many). Current Status The project works and syncs across devices. But there are two open concerns I’d like validated: Concurrency & Memory Safety Am I correctly separating viewContext (main/UI) vs. background context (used by CKSyncEngine)? Could there still be hidden risks of race conditions or memory crashes that I’m not catching? Swift 6 Sendable Compliance Currently, I still need @unchecked Sendable in the SyncEngine and repository layers. What is the recommended way to fully remove these workarounds and make the code safe under Swift 6’s stricter concurrency rules? Request Please review this sample project and confirm whether the concurrency model is correct. Suggest how I can remove the @unchecked Sendable annotations safely. Any additional code improvements or best practices would also be very welcome — the intention is to share this as a community resource. I believe once finalized, this could serve as a good reference demo for Core Data + CKSyncEngine + Swift 6, helping others migrate safely.

I have an app that from day 1 has used Swiftdata and successfully sync'd across devices with Cloudkit. I have added models to the data in the past and deployed the schema and it continued to sync across devices. Sometime I think in June.2025 I added a new model and built out the UI to display and manage it. I pushed a version to Test Flight (twice over a matter of 2 versions and a couple of weeks) and created objects in the new model in Test Flight versions of the app which should push the info to Cloudkit to update the schema. When I go to deploy the schema though there are no changes. I confirmed in the app that Cloudkit is selected and it's point to the correct container. And when I look in Cloudkit the new model isn't listed as an indes. I've pushed deploy schema changes anyway (more than once) and now the app isn't sync-ing across devices at all (even the pre-existing models aren't sync-ing across devices). I even submitted the first updated version to the app store and it was approved and released. I created objects in the new model in production which I know doesn't create the indexes in the development environment. But this new model functions literally everywhere except Cloudkit and I don't know what else to do to trigger an update.

I'm trying to set up an application using SwiftData to have a number of models backed by a local datastore that's not synced to CloudKit, and another set of models that is. I was able to achieve this previously with Core Data using multiple NSPersistentStoreDescription instances. The set up code looks something like: do { let fullSchema = Schema([ UnsyncedModel.self, SyncedModel.self, ]) let localSchema = Schema([UnsyncedModel.self]) let localConfig = ModelConfiguration(schema: localSchema, cloudKitDatabase: .none) let remoteSchema = Schema([SyncedModel.self]) let remoteConfig = ModelConfiguration(schema: remoteSchema, cloudKitDatabase: .automatic) container = try ModelContainer(for: fullSchema, configurations: localConfig, remoteConfig) } catch { fatalError("Failed to configure SwiftData container.") } However, it doesn't seem to work as expected. If I remove the synced/remote schema and configuration then everything works fine, but the moment I add in the remote schema and configuration I get various different application crashes. Some examples below: A Core Data error occurred." UserInfo={Reason=Entity named:... not found for relationship named:..., Fatal error: Failed to identify a store that can hold instances of SwiftData._KKMDBackingData<...> Has anyone ever been able to get a similar setup to work using SwiftData?

I see a chunk load error in the browser console. I already reported this: FB17664487

I am working on a SwiftUI project using Core Data. I have an entity called AppleUser in my data model, with the following attributes: id (UUID), name (String), email (String), password (String), and createdAt (Date). All attributes are non-optional. I created the corresponding Core Data class files (AppleUser+CoreDataClass.swift and AppleUser+CoreDataProperties.swift) using Xcode’s automatic generation. I also have a PersistenceController that initializes the NSPersistentContainer with the model name JobLinkModel. When I try to save a new AppleUser object using: let user = AppleUser(context: viewContext) user.id = UUID() user.name = "User1" user.email = "..." user.password = "password1" user.createdAt = Date()【The email is correctly formatted, but it has been replaced with “…” for privacy reasons】 try? viewContext.save() I get the following error in the console:Core Data save failed: Foundation._GenericObjCError.nilError, [:] User snapshot: ["id": ..., "name": "User1", "email": "...", "password": "...", "createdAt": ...] All fields have valid values, and the Core Data model seems correct. I have also tried: • Checking that the model name in NSPersistentContainer(name:) matches the .xcdatamodeld file (JobLinkModel) • Ensuring the AppleUser entity Class, Module, and Codegen are correctly set (Class Definition, Current Product Module) • Deleting duplicate or old AppleUser class files • Cleaning Xcode build folder and deleting the app from the simulator • Using @Environment(.managedObjectContext) for the context Despite all this, I still get _GenericObjCError.nilError when saving a new AppleUser object. I want to understand: 1. Why is Core Data failing to save even though all fields are non-nil and correctly assigned? 2. Could this be caused by some residual old class files, or is there something else in the setup that I am missing? 3. What steps should I take to ensure that Core Data properly recognizes the AppleUser entity and allows saving? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I’m running into an issue with Core Data migrations using a custom NSMappingModel created entirely in Swift (not using .xcmappingmodel files). Setup: • I’m performing a migration with a manually constructed NSMappingModel • One of the NSEntityMapping instances is configured as follows: • mappingType = .customEntityMappingType (or .transformEntityMappingType) • entityMigrationPolicyClassName is set to a valid subclass of NSEntityMigrationPolicy • The class implements the expected methods like: @objc func createDestinationInstances(…) throws { … } @objc func createCustomDestinationInstance(…) throws -> NSManagedObject { … } The policy class is instantiated (confirmed via logging in init()), but none of the migration methods are ever called. I have also tried adding valid NSPropertyMapping instances with real valueExpression bindings to force activation, but that didn’t make a difference. Constraints: • I cannot use .xcmappingmodel files in this context due to transformable attributes not compatible with the visual editor. • Therefore, I need the entire mapping model to be defined in Swift. Workaround: As a temporary workaround, I’m migrating the data manually using two persistent stores and NSManagedObjectContext, but I’d prefer to rely on NSMigrationManager as designed. Question: Is there a known limitation that prevents Core Data from invoking NSMigrationPolicy methods when using in-memory NSMappingModel instances? Or is there any specific setup required to trigger them when not loading from .xcmappingmodel? Thanks in advance.

Hi all, As you know, when using SwiftData Cloudkit, all relationships are required to be optional. In my app, which is a list app, I have a model class Project that contains an array of Subproject model objects. A Subproject also contains an array of another type of model class and this chain goes on and on. In this type of pattern, it becomes really taxxing to handle the optionals the correct way, i.e. unwrap them as late as possible and display an error to the user if unable to. It seems like most developers don't even bother, they just wrap the array in a computed property that returns an empty array if nil. I'm just wondering what is the recommended way by Apple to handle these optionals. I'm not really familiar with how the CloudKit backend works, but if you have a simple list app that only saves to the users private iCloud, can I just handwave the optionals like so many do? Is it only big data apps that need to worry? Or should we always strive to handle them the correct way? If that's the case, why does it seem like most people skip over them? Be great if an Apple engineer could weigh in.

I’m building an app that edits files in iCloud and uses an NSFilePresenter to monitor changes. When a conflict occurs, the system calls presentedItemDidGain(_:). In that method, I merge the versions by reading the current (canonical) version using NSFileVersion.currentVersionOfItem(at:) and the conflicting ones using NSFileVersion.unresolvedConflictVersionsOfItem(at:). This generally works, but sometimes, if two devices edit the same file at the same time, each device sees its own local version as the current one. For example: Device A writes fileVerA (slightly later in real time) Device B writes fileVerB On Device A all works fine, currentVersionOfItem returns fileVerA, as expected, and unresolvedConflictVersionsOfItem returns [fileVerB]. But on Device B, currentVersionOfItem returns fileVerB!? And unresolvedConflictVersionsOfItem returns the same, local file [fileVerB], without any hint of the other conflicting version, fileVerA. Later, the newer version from the Device A arrives on Device B as a normal, non-conflicting update via presentedItemDidChange(_:). This seems to contradict Apple’s documentation: “The currentVersionOfItemAtURL: method returns an NSFileVersion object representing what’s referred to as the current file; the current file is chosen by iCloud on some basis as the current “conflict winner” and is the same across all devices.” Is this expected behavior, or a bug in how iCloud reports file versions?

When deleting a SwiftData entity, I sometimes encounter the following error in a document based SwiftUI app: Fatal error: Unexpected backing data for snapshot creation: SwiftData._FullFutureBackingData<MyEntityClass> The deletion happens in a SwiftUI View and the code used to retrieve the entity is standard (the ModelContext is injected from the @Environment): let myEntity = modelContext.model(for: entityIdToDelete) modelContext.delete(myEntity) Unfortunately, I haven't yet managed to isolate this any further in order to come up with a reproducible PoC. Could you give me further information about what this error means?

Hi Developer Community, I'm experiencing a critical issue with CloudKit schema deployment that's blocking my app release. I've been trying to resolve this for several days and would appreciate any assistance from the community or Apple engineers. Issue Description I'm unable to deploy my CloudKit schema from development to production environment. When attempting to deploy through the CloudKit Dashboard, I either get an "Internal Error" message or the deployment button is disabled. Environment Details App: Reef Trak (Reef aquarium tracking app) CloudKit Container: ************ Development Environment: Schema fully defined and working correctly Production Environment: No schema deployed (confirmed in dashboard) What I've Tried Using the "Deploy Schema to Production" button in CloudKit Dashboard (results in "Internal Error") Exporting schema from development and importing to production (fails) Using CloudKit CLI tools with API token (results in "invalid-scope" errors) Waiting 24-48 hours between attempts in case of propagation delays Current Status App works perfectly in development environment (when run from Xcode) In TestFlight/sideloaded builds (production environment), the app attempts to fetch records but fails with "Did not find record type: Tank" errors Log snippet showing the issue: [2025-03-21] [CloudKit] Schema creation failed: Error saving record <CKRecordID: 0x******; recordName=SchemaSetup_Tank_-**---****, zoneID=_defaultZone:defaultOwner> to server: Cannot create new type Tank in production schema [2025-03-21] [CloudKit] Failed to create schema for Tank after 3 attempts [2025-03-21] [CloudKit] Error creating schema for Tank: Error saving record <CKRecordID: 0x****; recordName=SchemaSetup_Tank_---**-**********, zoneID=_defaultZone:defaultOwner> to server: Cannot create new type Tank in production schema App Architecture & Critical Impact My app "Reef Trak" is built around a core data model where the "Tank" entity serves as the foundational element of the entire application architecture. The Tank entity is not just another data type - it's the primary container that establishes the hierarchical relationship for all other entities: All parameter measurements (pH, temperature, salinity, etc.) are associated with specific tanks All maintenance tasks and schedules are tank-specific All livestock (fish, corals, invertebrates) exist within the context of a tank All user achievements and progress tracking depend on tank-related activities Without the Tank schema being properly deployed to production, users experience what appears to be a completely empty application, despite successful authentication and CloudKit connection. The app shows "Successfully retrieved iCloud data" but displays no content because: The Tank record type doesn't exist in production Without Tanks, all child entities (even if their schemas existed) have no parent to associate with This creates a cascading failure where no data can be displayed or saved This issue effectively renders the entire application non-functional in production, despite working flawlessly in development. Users are left with an empty shell of an app that cannot fulfill its core purpose of reef tank management and monitoring. The inability to deploy the Tank schema to production is therefore not just a minor inconvenience but a complete blocker for the app's release and functionality. Questions Is there an alternative method to deploy schema to production that I'm missing? Could there be an issue with my account permissions or container configuration? Are there known issues with the CloudKit Dashboard deployment functionality? What's the recommended approach when the dashboard deployment fails? I've also submitted a Technical Support Incident, but I'm hoping to get this resolved quickly as it's blocking my App Store release. Thank you for any assistance!

My project is using swiftData and I want to implement iCloud sync in it. Now, my data base doesnt have any optional attributes or relationships and CloudKit wants them to be optional. So, rather than editing all code with unwrapping code for the optionals, how can I provide a bridge that does so in the last stage of actually saving to the store? Sort of, capture it in a proxy object before writing and after reading from the store. Is there a neat way that can save a lot of debugging? I have code snippets from chat gpt and they are hard to debug. This is my first project in swiftUI. Thanks. Neerav

I have been using the basic NSPersistentContainer with 100k+ records for a while now with no issues. The database size can fluctuate a bit but on average it takes up about 22mb on device. When I switch the container to NSPersistentCloudKitContainer, I see a massive increase in size to ~150mb initially. As the sync engine uploads records to iCloud it has ballooned to over 600mb on device. On top of that, the user's iCloud usage in settings reports that it takes up 1.7gb in the cloud. I understand new tables are added and history tracking is enabled but the size increase seems a bit drastic. I'm not sure how we got from 22mb to 1.7gb with the exact same data. A few other things that are important to note: I import all the 100k+ records at once when testing the different containers. At the time of the initial import there is only 1 relation (an import group record) that all the records are attached to. I save the background context only once after all the records and the import group have been made and added to the context. After the initial import, some of these records may have a few new relations added to them over time. I suppose this could be causing some of the size increase, but its only about 20,000 records that are updated. None of the records include files/ large binary data. Most of the attributes are encrypted. I'm syncing to the dev iCloud environment. When I do make a change to a single attribute in a record, CloudKit reports that every attribute has been modified (not sure if this is normal or not ) Also, When syncing to a new device, the sync can take hours - days. I'm guessing it's having to sync both the new records and the changes, but it exponentially gets slower as more records are downloaded. The console will show syncing activity, but new records are being added at a slower rate as more records are added. After about 50k records, it grinds to a halt and while the console still shows sync activity, only about 100 records are added every hour. All this to say i'm very confused where these issues are coming from. I'm sure its a combination of how i've setup my code and the vast record count, record history, etc. If anyone has any ideas it would be much appreciated.

When my app starts it loads data (of vehicle models, manufacturers, ...) from JSON files into CoreData.  This content is static. Some CoreData entities have fields that can be set by the user, for example an isFavorite boolean field. How do I tell CloudKit that my CoreData objects are 'static' and must not be duplicated on other devices (that will also load it from JSON files). In other words, how can I make sure that the CloudKit knows that the record created from JSON for vehicle model XYZ on one device is the same record that was created from JSON on any other device? I'm using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer.

Hi guys. Can someone please confirm this bug so I report it? The issue is that SwiftData relationships don't update the views in some specific situations on devices running iOS 18 Beta. One clear example is with CloudKit. I created a small example for testing. The following code creates two @models, one to store bands and another to store their records. The following code works with no issues. (You need to connect to a CloudKit container and test it on two devices) import SwiftUI import SwiftData struct ContentView: View { @Environment(\.modelContext) private var modelContext @Query private var records: [Record] var body: some View { NavigationStack { List(records) { record in VStack(alignment: .leading) { Text(record.title) Text(record.band?.name ?? "Undefined") } } .toolbar { ToolbarItem { Button("Add Record") { let randomNumber = Int.random(in: 1...100) let newBand = Band(name: "New Band \(randomNumber)", records: nil) modelContext.insert(newBand) let newRecord = Record(title: "New Record \(randomNumber)", band: newBand) modelContext.insert(newRecord) } } } } } } @Model final class Record { var title: String = "" var band: Band? init(title: String, band: Band?) { self.title = title self.band = band } } @Model final class Band { var name: String = "" var records: [Record]? init(name: String, records: [Record]?) { self.name = name self.records = records } } This view includes a button at the top to add a new record associated with a new band. The data appears on both devices, but if you include more views inside the List, the views on the second device are not updated to show the values of the relationships. For example, if you extract the row to a separate view, the second device shows the relationships as "Undefined". You can try the following code. struct ContentView: View { @Environment(\.modelContext) private var modelContext @Query private var records: [Record] var body: some View { NavigationStack { List { ForEach(records) { record in RecordRow(record: record) } } .toolbar { ToolbarItem { Button("Add Record") { let randomNumber = Int.random(in: 1...100) let newBand = Band(name: "New Band \(randomNumber)", records: nil) modelContext.insert(newBand) let newRecord = Record(title: "New Record \(randomNumber)", band: newBand) modelContext.insert(newRecord) } } } } } } struct RecordRow: View { let record: Record var body: some View { VStack(alignment: .leading) { Text(record.title) Text(record.band?.name ?? "Undefined") } } } Here I use a ForEach loop and move the row to a separate view. Now on the second device the relationships are nil, so the row shows the text "Undefined" instead of the name of the band. I attached an image from my iPad. I inserted all the information on my iPhone. The first three rows were inserted with the first view. But the last two rows were inserted after I extracted the rows to a separate view. Here you can see that the relationships are nil and therefore shown as "Undefined". The views are not updated to show the real value of the relationship. This example shows the issue with CloudKit, but this also happens locally in some situations. The system doesn't detect updates in relationships and therefore doesn't refresh the views. Please, let me know if you can reproduce the issue. I'm using Mac Sequoia 15.1, and two devices with iOS 18.0.

I have a new app I am working on, it uses, a container id like com.me.mycompany.FancyApp.prod, the description in the app is My Fancy App. When I deploy the app via TestFlight on a real device, the sync seems to work, but when I view iCloud->Storage-List, I see my app icon, and the name "prod". Where did the name prod come from? It should be My Fancy App, which is the actual name of the App.

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?

Hi all I have a problem with core data, where when a new user login that is different from the previous user i delete all of core data by using "destroyPersistentStore". Then i recreate the persistent store, this works when i am testing. When it does not work for one of my users when she test. I am not sure why this should not work, i have added the code i use to destroy the persistent store below. This code is run after login but before the view changes away from my login view. // Retrieves the shared `AppDelegate` instance guard let appDelegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate as? AppDelegate else { return } appDelegate.destroyDataSyncBackground() // Get a reference to a NSPersistentStoreCoordinator let storeContainer = appDelegate.persistentContainer.persistentStoreCoordinator // Delete each existing persistent store for store in storeContainer.persistentStores { if let url = store.url { do { try storeContainer.destroyPersistentStore( at: url, ofType: store.type, options: nil ) } catch { print("Failed to deleted all") } } else { print("Failed to deleted all") } } // Re-create the persistent container appDelegate.persistentContainer = NSPersistentContainer( name: "CueToCue" // the name of // a .xcdatamodeld file ) // Calling loadPersistentStores will re-create the // persistent stores appDelegate.persistentContainer.loadPersistentStores { (store, error) in // Handle errors let description = NSPersistentStoreDescription() description.shouldMigrateStoreAutomatically = true description.shouldInferMappingModelAutomatically = true appDelegate.persistentContainer.persistentStoreDescriptions = [description] } // Reapply context configuration let viewContext = appDelegate.persistentContainer.viewContext viewContext.automaticallyMergesChangesFromParent = true viewContext.mergePolicy = NSMergeByPropertyObjectTrumpMergePolicy do { try viewContext.save() appDelegate.recreateDataSyncBackground() } catch { print("Debug: saving delete all failed.") } } The function "destroyDataSyncBackground" just set the my sync class to nil so stop any changes to core data while the code is running. The function "recreateDataSyncBackground" recreate the sync class so fetch, post and patch requests is made again.

I would like to have a SwiftData predicate that filters against an array of PersistentIdentifiers. A trivial use case could filtering Posts by one or more Categories. This sounds like something that must be trivial to do. When doing the following, however: let categoryIds: [PersistentIdentifier] = categoryFilter.map { $0.id } let pred = #Predicate<Post> { if let catId = $0.category?.persistentModelID { return categoryIds.contains(catId) } else { return false } } The code compiles, but produces the following runtime exception (XCode 26 beta, iOS 26 simulator): 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'unimplemented SQL generation for predicate : (TERNARY(item != nil, item, nil) IN {}) (bad LHS)' Strangely, the same code works if the array to filter against is an array of a primitive type, e.g. String or Int. What is going wrong here and what could be a possible workaround?

Hello, In my iOS/SwiftUI/SwiftData app, I want the user to be able to hit [Cancel] from editing in a detail screen and return to the previous screen without changes being saved. I believed that setting autosaveEnabled to false and/or calling .rollback would prevent changes from being saved, unless/until I call .save() when the user clicks [Save], but this does not seem to be correct. I set modelContext.autosaveEnabled = false and I call modelContext.rollback() when the user hits [Cancel], but any changes they made are not rolled back, but saved even if I don’t call save(). I have tried setting autosaveEnabled to false when I create the ModelContainer on a @MainActor function when the App starts, and in the detail/edit screen’s .onAppear(). I can see that .rollback is being called when the [Cancel] button is tapped. In all cases, any changes the user made before hitting [Cancel] are saved. The Developer Documentation on autosaveEnabled includes this: “The default value is false. SwiftData automatically sets this property to true for the model container’s mainContext." I am working on the mainContext, but it appears that setting autosaveEnabled to false has no effect no matter where in the code I set it. If someone sees what I am doing wrong, I’d sure appreciate the input. If this description doesn’t explain the problem well enough, I’ll develop a minimal focused example.

I'm developing a SwiftUI app using SwiftData and encountering a persistent issue: Error Message: Thread 1: Fatal error: Duplicate keys of type 'Bland' were found in a Dictionary. This usually means either that the type violates Hashable's requirements, or that members of such a dictionary were mutated after insertion. Details: Occurrence: The error always occurs on the first launch of the app after installation. Specifically, it happens approximately 1 minute after the app starts. Inconsistent Behavior: Despite no changes to the code or server data, the error occurs inconsistently. Data Fetching Process: I fetch data for entities (Bland, CrossZansu, and Trade) from the server using the following process: Fetch Bland and CrossZansu entities via URLSession. Insert or update these entities into the SwiftData context. The fetched data is managed as follows: func refleshBlandsData() async throws { if let blandsOnServer = try await DataModel.shared.getBlands() { await MainActor.run { blandsOnServer.forEach { blandOnServer in if let blandOnLocal = blandList.first(where: { $0.code == blandOnServer.code }) { blandOnLocal.update(serverBland: blandOnServer) } else { modelContext.insert(blandOnServer.bland) } } } } } This is a simplified version of my StockListView. The blandList is a @Query property and dynamically retrieves data from SwiftData: struct StockListView: View { @Environment(\.modelContext) private var modelContext @Query(sort: \Bland.sname) var blandList: [Bland] @Query var users: [User] @State private var isNotLoaded = true @State private var isLoading = false @State private var loadingErrorState = "" var body: some View { NavigationStack { List { ForEach(blandList, id: \.self) { bland in NavigationLink(value: bland) { Text(bland.sname) } } } .navigationTitle("Stock List") .onAppear { doIfFirst() } } } // This function handles data loading when the app launches for the first time func doIfFirst() { if isNotLoaded { loadDataWithAnimationIfNotLoading() isNotLoaded = false } } // This function ensures data is loaded with an animation and avoids multiple triggers func loadDataWithAnimationIfNotLoading() { if !isLoading { isLoading = true Task { do { try await loadData() } catch { // Capture and store any errors during data loading loadingErrorState = "Data load failed: \(error.localizedDescription)" } isLoading = false } } } // Fetch data from the server and insert it into the SwiftData model context func loadData() async throws { if let blandsOnServer = try await DataModel.shared.getBlands() { for bland in blandsOnServer { // Avoid inserting duplicate keys by checking for existing items in blandList if !blandList.contains(where: { $0.code == bland.code }) { modelContext.insert(bland.bland) } } } } } Entity Definitions: Here are the main entities involved: Bland: @Model class Bland: Identifiable { @Attribute(.unique) var code: String var sname: String @Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade, inverse: \CrossZansu.bland) var zansuList: [CrossZansu] @Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade, inverse: \Trade.bland) var trades: [Trade] } CrossZansu: @Model class CrossZansu: Equatable { @Attribute(.unique) var id: String var bland: Bland? } Trade: @Model class Trade { @Relationship(deleteRule: .nullify) var user: User? var bland: Bland } User: class User { var id: UUID @Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade, inverse: \Trade.user) var trades: [Trade] } Observations: Error Context: The error occurs after the data is fetched and inserted into SwiftData. This suggests an issue with Hashable requirements or duplicate keys being inserted unintentionally. Concurrency Concerns: The fetch and update operations are performed in asynchronous tasks. Could this cause race conditions? Questions: Could this issue be related to how @Relationship and @Attribute(.unique) are managed in SwiftData? What are potential pitfalls with Equatable implementations (e.g., in CrossZansu) when used in SwiftData entities? Are there any recommended approaches for debugging "Duplicate keys" errors in SwiftData? Additional Info: Error Timing: The error occurs only during the app's first launch and consistently within the first minute.
