Hey guys, I'm developing a Swift app, using iCloud to store some data in Containers, and the new Containers I created are iCloud.com.xxx.dev . Therefore, there is a storage called dev in Settings -> icloud -> Manage Account Storage. Currently, the app is still under development and has not been released to the Appstore.
My question: Settings -> icloud -> Manage Account Storage does not display my app name and icon, but only the suffix of the Containers id. Will this change after it is released to the Appstore? Are there any other control methods? Thank you

I am an individual developer, and I want to create a demo. Do I need to develop an app for both iOS and Android to accomplish this?
Has Apple provided a simple demo or not?

Is there a way to move user data from UserDefaults to SwiftData when the app is in production so that people don’t lose their data. Currently my audio journals in my journal app has everything in the UserDefaults. Now this is bad for obvious reasons but I was thinking if there was a way. It’s only been 1 week since published and I have already had17 people download it.
For a CRM application, I want users to be able to switch between accounts and have their saved contacts stored locally. Whenever a user logs in, the app should fetch data from their specific database location.
What’s the best practice to achieve this?
Should I create a separate database for each user?
Should I store all the data in one database and filter it by user?
Or is there a better approach I should consider?
I have an app which uses ubiquitous containers and files in them to share data between devices. It's a bit unusual in that it indexes files in directories the user grants access to, which may or may not exist on a second device - those files are identified by SHA-1 hash. So a second device scanning before iCloud data has fully sync'd can create duplicate references which lead to an unpleasant user experience.
To solve this, I store a small binary index in the root of the ubiquitous file container of the shared data, containing all of the known hashes, and as the user proceeds through the onboarding process, a background thread is attempting to "prime" the ubiquitous container by calling FileManager.default.startDownloadingUbiquitousItemAt() for each expected folder and file in a sane order.
This likely creates a situation not anticipated by the iOS/iCloud integration's design, as it means my app has a sort of precognition of files it should not yet know about.
In the common case, it works, but there is a corner case where iCloud sync has just begun, and very, very little metadata is available (the common case, however, in an emulator), in which two issues come up:
I/O may hang indefinitely, trying to read a file as it is arriving. This one I can work around by running the I/O in a thread created with the POSIX pthread_create and using pthread_cancel to kill it after a timeout.
Attempts to call FileManager.default.startDownloadingUbiquitousItemAt() fails with an error Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=257 "The file couldn’t be opened because you don’t have permission to view it.". The permissions aspect of it is nonsense, but I can believe there's no applicable "sort of exists, sort of doesn't" error code to use and someone punted. The problem is that this same error will be thrown on any attempt to access that file for the life of the application - a restart is required to make it usable.
Clearly, the error or the hallucinated permission failure is cached somewhere in the bowels of iOS's FileManager. I was hoping startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() would allow me to bypass such a cache, as it does with URL.resourceValues() returning stale file sizes and last modified times. But it does not.
Is there some way to clear this state without popping up a UI with an Exit button (not exactly the desired iOS user experience)?

I have some code which handles doing some computation on a background thread before updating Core Data NSManagedObjects by using the NSManagedObjectContext.perform functions.
This code is covered in Sendable warnings in Xcode 26 (beta 6) because my NSManagedObject subclasses (autogenerated) are non-Sendable and NSManagedObjectContext.perform function takes a Sendable closure.
But I can't really figure out what I should be doing. I realize this pattern is non-ideal for Swift concurrency, but it's what Core Data demands AFAIK. How do I deal with this?
let moc = object.managedObjectContext!
try await moc.perform {
object.completed = true // Capture of 'object' with non-Sendable type 'MySpecialObject' in a '@Sendable' closure
try moc.save()
}
Thanks in advance for your help!
I'm trying to set up server-to-server authentication with CloudKit Web Services, but keep getting AUTHENTICATION_FAILED errors. I've tried multiple environment settings and debugging approaches without success.
What I've Tried
I created a Swift script to test the connection. Here's the key part that handles the authentication:
// Get current ISO 8601 date
let iso8601Formatter = ISO8601DateFormatter()
iso8601Formatter.formatOptions = [.withInternetDateTime]
let dateString = iso8601Formatter.string(from: Date())
// Create SHA-256 hash of request body
let bodyHash = SHA256.hash(data: bodyData).compactMap { String(format: "%02x", $0) }.joined()
// Get path from URL
let path = request.url?.path ?? "/"
// String to sign
let method = request.httpMethod ?? "POST"
let stringToSign = "\(method):\(path):\(dateString):\(bodyHash)"
// Sign the string with EC private key
let signature = try createSignature(stringToSign: stringToSign)
// Add headers
request.setValue(dateString, forHTTPHeaderField: "X-Apple-CloudKit-Request-ISO8601Date")
request.setValue(KEY_ID, forHTTPHeaderField: "X-Apple-CloudKit-Request-KeyID")
request.setValue(signature, forHTTPHeaderField: "X-Apple-CloudKit-Request-SignatureV1")
}
I've made a request to this endpoint:
What's Happening
I get a 401 status with this response:
"uuid" : "173179e2-c5a5-4393-ab4f-3cec194edd1c",
"serverErrorCode" : "AUTHENTICATION_FAILED",
"reason" : "Authentication failed"
}
What I've Verified
The key validates correctly and generates signatures
The date/time is synchronized with the server
The key ID matches what's in CloudKit Dashboard
I've tried all three environments: development, Development (capital D), and production
The container ID is formatted correctly
Debug Information
My debugging reveals:
The EC key is properly formatted (SEC1 format)
Signature generation works
No time synchronization issues between client and server
All environment tests return the same 401 error
Questions
Has anyone encountered similar issues with CloudKit server-to-server authentication?
Are there specific container permissions needed for server-to-server keys?
Could there be an issue with how the private key is formatted or processed?
Are there any known issues with the CloudKit Web Services API that might cause this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I’m running into a CloudKit sync issue that I can’t reconcile after multiple rebuilds, TestFlight uploads, and entitlement verification, and I’m hoping for guidance on what I’m missing or whether this is expected behavior.
Context
App: RankSpinnah
Platforms: iOS + macOS
Distribution: TestFlight
Xcode: 26.x
Both apps use the same bundle identifier, same container, and same Apple Developer team
Automatic signing enabled; Xcode-managed profiles
CloudKit capability enabled for both targets
Both builds install and run correctly from TestFlight on:
iPhone 17 Pro
Apple-silicon Mac (M5 MacBook Pro)
The Problem
CloudKit data does not sync at all between devices.
On both iOS and macOS, CloudKit queries return no records, and I consistently see this error:
Field 'recordName' is not marked queryable
This occurs even when querying for records that should exist and after fresh installs on both devices.
What I’ve Verified
Same iCloud account signed in on both devices
CloudKit container exists and is enabled
App Sandbox enabled with network access
CloudKit entitlements present in the signed app (verified from the archived .app)
TestFlight builds are using the correct container
Rebuilt and re-uploaded after version bump (1.2.0 / build 2026.02.03)
Both iOS and macOS apps successfully uploaded and installed via TestFlight
Despite this, no data syncs, and the queryable error persists.
What I’m Unsure About
Whether recordName is expected to be non-queryable in production schemas
Whether TestFlight + CloudKit requires an explicit production schema deploy beyond what Xcode manages
Whether this indicates a schema mismatch between development and production environments
Or whether something subtle changed in recent Xcode / CloudKit behavior
Ask
Can someone clarify:
Whether querying by recordName should work in production CloudKit
What specifically causes the “Field recordName is not marked queryable” error in TestFlight builds
What steps are required to ensure CloudKit schemas are correctly deployed for cross-platform sync
At this point I feel like I’m missing one critical step, but I can’t identify what it is.
Thanks in advance for any guidance.

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.

When I try to promote schema to production, I get following error:
Cannot promote schema with empty type 'workspace', please delete the record type before attempting to migrate the schema again
However, in hierarchical root record sharing, I think it should be completely legit use case where there is empty root record (in my case workspace) to which other records reference through ->parent reference.
Am I missing something? Is this weird constraint imposed on CloudKit?
So i created an App and for some time it was working fine. The app has features to show pdf to users without logging in. I needed to upload all data to cloudkit on public database.
I was not having knowledge that there are 2 mode being a noob in coding so after i saved all records in development mode in cloudkit when i published my app, i was not able to see them (Reason because live mode works in Production mode).
So i need help now to transfer data from development mode to production mode or any app or code that can help me upload all data in production mode.

I'm experiencing a critical issue with SwiftData custom migrations where objects created during migration appear to be inserted successfully but aren't persisted or found by queries after migration completes. The migration logs show objects being created, but subsequent queries return zero results.
I'm migrating from schema version V2 to V2_5, which involves:
Renaming Person class to GroupData
Keeping the same data structure but changing the class name while keeping the old class.
Using a custom migration stage to copy data from old to new schema
Below is an extract of my two schema and migration plan:
Environment:
Xcode 16.0,
iOS 18.0,
Swift 6.0
SchemaV2
enum LinkMapV2: VersionedSchema {
static let versionIdentifier: Schema.Version = .init(2, 0, 0)
static var models: [any PersistentModel.Type] {
[AnnotationData.self, Person.self, History.self]
}
@Model
final class Person {
@Attribute(.unique) var id: UUID
var name: String
var photo: String
var requirement: String
var statue: Bool
var annotationId: UUID?
var number: Int = 0
init(id: UUID = UUID(), name: String = "", photo: String = "", requirement: String = "", status: Bool = false, annotationId: UUID? = nil, number: Int = 0) {
self.id = id
self.name = name
self.photo = photo
self.requirement = requirement
self.statue = status
self.annotationId = annotationId
self.number = number
}
}
}
Schema V2_5
static let versionIdentifier: Schema.Version = .init(2, 5, 0)
static var models: [any PersistentModel.Type] {
[AnnotationData.self, Person.self, GroupData.self, History.self]
}
// Keep the old Person model for migration
@Model
final class Person {
@Attribute(.unique) var id: UUID
var name: String
var photo: String
var requirement: String
var statue: Bool
var annotationId: UUID?
var number: Int = 0
init(id: UUID = UUID(), name: String = "", photo: String = "", requirement: String = "", status: Bool = false, annotationId: UUID? = nil, number: Int = 0) {
self.id = id
self.name = name
self.photo = photo
self.requirement = requirement
self.statue = status
self.annotationId = annotationId
self.number = number
}
}
// Add the new GroupData model that mirrors Person
@Model
final class GroupData {
@Attribute(.unique) var id: UUID
var name: String
var photo: String
var requirement: String
var status: Bool
var annotationId: UUID?
var number: Int = 0

let newGroup = LinkMapV2_5.GroupData(
id: person.id, // Keep the same ID
name: person.name,
photo: person.photo,
requirement: person.requirement,
status: person.statue,
annotationId: person.annotationId,
number: person.number
)
context.insert(newGroup)
print("Inserted new GroupData: '\(newGroup.name)'")
// Don't delete the old Person yet to avoid issues
// context.delete(person)
}
try context.save()
print("=== MIGRATION COMPLETED ===")
print("Successfully migrated \(persons.count) Person objects to GroupData")
} catch {
print("=== MIGRATION ERROR ===")
print("Migration failed with error: \(error)")
}
},
didMigrate: { context in
do {
// Verify migration in didMigrate phase
let groups = try context.fetch(FetchDescriptor<LinkMapV2_5.GroupData>())
let oldPersons = try context.fetch(FetchDescriptor<LinkMapV2_5.Person>())
print("=== MIGRATION VERIFICATION ===")
print("New GroupData count: \(groups.count)")
print("Remaining Person count: \(oldPersons.count)")
// Now delete the old Person objects
for person in oldPersons {
context.delete(person)
}

}
} catch {
print("Migration verification error: \(error)")
}
}
)

How do I filter data using @Query with a Set of DateComponents? I successfully saved multiple dates using a MultiDatePicker in AddView.swift. In ListView.swift, I want to retrieve all records for the current or today’s date.
There are hundreds of examples using @Query with strings and dates, but I haven’t found an example of @Query using a Set of DateComponents
Nothing will compile and after hundreds and hundreds of attempts, my hair is turning gray.
Please, please, please help me.
For example, if the current date is Tuesday, March 4 205, then I want to retrieve both records. Since both records contain Tuesday, March 4, then retrieve both records. Sorting works fine because the order by clause uses period which is a Double.
Unfortunately, my syntax is incorrect and I don’t know the correct predicate syntax for @Query and a Set of DateComponents.
Class Planner.swift file
import SwiftUI
import SwiftData
@Model
class Planner {
//var id: UUID = UUID()
var grade: Double = 4.0
var kumi: Double = 4.0
var period: Double = 1.0
var dates: Set<DateComponents> = []
init(
grade: Double = 4.0, kumi: Double = 4.0, period: Double = 1.0, dates: Set<DateComponents> = []
)
{
self.grade = grade
self.kumi = kumi
self.period = period
self.dates = dates
}
}
@Query Model snippet of code does not work
The compile error is to use a Set of DateComponents, not just DateComponents.
@Query(filter: #Predicate<Planner> { $0.dates = DateComponents(calendar: Calendar.current, year: 2025, month: 3, day: 4)},
sort: [SortDescriptor(\Planner.period)])

Hey everyone I just ran into an issue where I couldn't sync the model below fully by using CloudKit,
enum LinkMapV3_1: VersionedSchema {
static let versionIdentifier: Schema.Version = .init(3, 1, 0)
static var models: [any PersistentModel.Type] {
[AnnotationData.self, GroupData.self, Item.self, Deployment.self, History.self]
}
// MARK: - Data

class AnnotationData {
var name: String = ""
var longitude: Double = 0.0
var latitude: Double = 0.0
var order: Int = -1
var level: Int = 1
var detail: String = ""
@Relationship(deleteRule: .nullify, inverse: \GroupData.annotation)
var groups: [GroupData]?

}
var timeAgo: String {
let formatter = RelativeDateTimeFormatter()
formatter.unitsStyle = .abbreviated
return formatter.localizedString(for: timestamp, relativeTo: Date())
}
}

So when trying to sync with the code in documentation
let modelContainer: ModelContainer
init() {
let config = ModelConfiguration()
typealias vs = LinkMapV3_1
do {
#if DEBUG
// Use an autorelease pool to make sure Swift deallocates the persistent

let opts = NSPersistentCloudKitContainerOptions(containerIdentifier: "iCloud.name.Endsunset.LinkMap.SwiftData.v1")
desc.cloudKitContainerOptions = opts
// Load the store synchronously so it completes before initializing the
// CloudKit schema.
desc.shouldAddStoreAsynchronously = false
if let mom = NSManagedObjectModel.makeManagedObjectModel(for: [vs.AnnotationData.self, vs.GroupData.self, vs.Item.self, vs.Deployment.self, vs.History.self]) {
let container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: "LinkMap", managedObjectModel: mom)
container.persistentStoreDescriptions = [desc]
container.loadPersistentStores {_, err in
if let err {
fatalError(err.localizedDescription)

}
// Initialize the CloudKit schema after the store finishes loading.
try container.initializeCloudKitSchema()
// Remove and unload the store from the persistent container.
if let store = container.persistentStoreCoordinator.persistentStores.first {
try container.persistentStoreCoordinator.remove(store)
}
}
}
#endif
modelContainer = try ModelContainer(for:
vs.AnnotationData.self,
vs.GroupData.self,
vs.Item.self,
vs.Deployment.self,
vs.History.self,

}
}
The output is

Where you can see

Optional arrays with @Relationship are missing, and the entry of record types on cloudkit database container are also missing it.
When I attempt to insert an annotation, I got
SwiftData/PersistentModel.swift:559: Fatal error: This KeyPath does not appear to relate AnnotationData to anything - \AnnotationData.groups
It gets more suspicious when restart the app and try again, the above error end with "AnnotationData.history", and if I tried again the above error end with "AnnotationData.from"... and so on.
No matter how my app stop working.
I am trying to test using Testflight and have set up a test with a user on an account I also own which is different to me developer account. The app I believe is running in production on a separate device and is working from a user point of view, however I am not able to query the data via the console. As I said I know the user id and password as tey are mine so even when I use the Act as user service it logs in but the query is empty. I'm assuming I'm not doing anything wrong its possibly an security issue that is preventing me accessing this account. My question to the group then is how do I verify the data that is being tested?

}
}
To be honest, I don't fully understand how the @Relationship thing works properly in a Many-To-Many relationship situation. Some tutorials suggest that it's required on the "One" side of an One-To-Many Relationship, while the "Many" side doesn't need it.
And then there is an ObservableObject called "ModelActors" to manage all ModelActors, ModelContainer, etc.
ModelActors, ModelContainer...
class ModelActors: ObservableObject {
static let shared: ModelActors = ModelActors()
let sharedModelContainer: ModelContainer
private init() {
var schema = Schema([
// ...
Preset.self,
PresetParams.self,
// ...
])
do {
sharedModelContainer = try ModelContainer(for: schema, migrationPlan: MigrationPlan.self)
} catch {
fatalError("Could not create ModelContainer: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
}
}
And there is a migrationPlan:
MigrationPlan
// MARK: V102
// typealias ...
// MARK: V101
typealias Preset = AppSchemaV101.Preset
typealias PresetParams = AppSchemaV101.PresetParams
// MARK: V100
// typealias ...
enum MigrationPlan: SchemaMigrationPlan {
static var schemas: [VersionedSchema.Type] {
[
AppSchemaV100.self,
AppSchemaV101.self,
AppSchemaV102.self,
]
}
static var stages: [MigrationStage] {
[AppMigrateV100toV101, AppMigrateV101toV102]
}
static let AppMigrateV100toV101 = MigrationStage.lightweight(fromVersion: AppSchemaV100.self, toVersion: AppSchemaV101.self)
static let AppMigrateV101toV102 = MigrationStage.lightweight(fromVersion: AppSchemaV101.self, toVersion: AppSchemaV102.self)
}
// MARK: Here is the AppSchemaV101
enum AppSchemaV101: VersionedSchema {
static var versionIdentifier: Schema.Version = Schema.Version(1, 0, 1)
static var models: [any PersistentModel.Type] {
return [ // ...
Preset.self,
PresetParams.self
]
}
}
Fails on iOS 18.3.x: "Failed to fulfill link PendingRelationshipLink"
So I expected the SwiftData subsystem to work correctly with version control. A good news is that on iOS 18.1 it does work. But it fails on iOS 18.3.x with a fatal Error:
"SwiftData/SchemaCoreData.swift:581: Fatal error: Failed to fulfill link PendingRelationshipLink(relationshipDescription: (<NSRelationshipDescription: 0x30377fe80>), name preset, isOptional 0, isTransient 0, entity PresetParams, renamingIdentifier preset, validation predicates (), warnings (), versionHashModifier (null)userInfo {}, destination entity Preset, inverseRelationship (null), minCount 0, maxCount 0, isOrdered 0, deleteRule 1, destinationEntityName: "Preset", inverseRelationshipName: Optional("presetAudioParams")), couldn't find inverse relationship 'Preset.presetAudioParams' in model"
Fails on iOS 17.5: Another Error
I tested it on iOS 17.5 and found another issue: Accessing or mutating the "PresetAudioParams" property causes the SwiftData Macro Codes to crash, affecting both Getter and Setter. It fails with an error:
"EXC_BREAKPOINT (code=1, subcode=0x1cc1698ec)"
Tweaking the @Relationship marker and ModelContainer settings didn't fix the problem.
Setup
I am running a versionedSchema for my SwiftData model and attempting a migration. The new version contains a new attribute, with a type of a new custom enum defined in the @Model class, a default value, and a private(set). Migration was completed with a migrationPlan with nil values for willMigrate and didMigrate.
Example - Previous Version
@Model
class MyNumber {
var num: Int
init() {
// Init Code
}
}
Example - Newest Version
@Model
class MyNumber {
var num: Int
private(set) var rounding: RoundAmount = MyNumber.RoundAmount.thirtyMinute
init() {
// Init Code
}
enum RoundAmount {
case fiveMinute, tenMinute, thirtyMinute
}
}
Issue
Running this code, I get a swiftData error for “SwiftData/ModelCoders.swift:1585: nil value passed for a non-optional keyPath, /MyNumber.rounding”
I assume this means a failure of the swiftData lightweight migration? I have reverted the version, removed private(set) and re-tried the migration with no success.
Using the versionedSchema with migrationPlans, are lightweight migrations possible? Could this be an issue with the use of a custom enum? Other changes in my actual project migrated successfully so I’m lost on why I’m having this issue.
In the future, is there any plans to have AppMigrationKit for macOS-Windows cross transfers (or Linux, ChromeOS, HarmonyOS NEXT, etc)? Additionally, will the migration framework remain just iOS <-> Android or will it extend to Windows tablets, ChromeOS Tablets, HarmonyOS NEXT, KaiOS, Series 30+, Linux mobile, etc.

Description:
I'm experiencing a critical issue with SwiftData custom migrations where objects created during migration appear to be inserted successfully but aren't persisted or found by queries after migration completes. The migration logs show objects being created, but subsequent queries return zero results.
Problem Details:
I'm migrating from schema version V2 to V3, which involves:
Renaming Person class to GroupData
Keeping the same data structure but changing the class name
Using a custom migration stage to copy data from old to new schema
Migration Code:
swift
static let migrationV2toV3 = MigrationStage.custom(
fromVersion: LinkMapV2.self,
toVersion: LinkMapV3.self,
willMigrate: { context in
do {
let persons = try context.fetch(FetchDescriptor<LinkMapV2.Person>())
print("Found (persons.count) Person objects to migrate") // ✅ Shows 11 objects
for person in persons {
let newGroup = LinkMapV3.GroupData(
id: person.id, // Same UUID
name: person.name,
// ... other properties
)
context.insert(newGroup)
print("Inserted GroupData: '\(newGroup.name)'") // ✅ Confirms insertion
}
try context.save() // ✅ No error thrown
print("Successfully migrated \(persons.count) objects") // ✅ Confirms save
} catch {
print("Migration error: \(error)")
}
},
didMigrate: { context in
do {
let groups = try context.fetch(FetchDescriptor<LinkMapV3.GroupData>())
print("Final GroupData count: \(groups.count)") // ❌ Shows 0 objects!
} catch {
print("Verification error: \(error)")
}
}
)
Console Output:
text
=== MIGRATION STARTED ===
Found 11 Person objects to migrate
Migrating Person: 'Riverside of pipewall' with ID: 7A08C633-4467-4F52-AF0B-579545BA88D0
Inserted new GroupData: 'Riverside of pipewall'
... (all 11 objects processed) ...
=== MIGRATION COMPLETED ===
Successfully migrated 11 Person objects to GroupData
=== MIGRATION VERIFICATION ===
New GroupData count: 0 // ❌ PROBLEM: No objects found!
What I've Tried:
Multiple context approaches:
Using the provided migration context
Creating a new background context with ModelContext(context.container)
Using context.performAndWait for thread safety
Different save strategies:
Calling try context.save() after insertions
Letting SwiftData handle saving automatically
Multiple save calls at different points
Verification methods:
Checking in didMigrate closure
Checking in app's ContentView after migration completes
Using both @Query and manual FetchDescriptor
Schema variations:
Direct V2→V3 migration
Intermediate V2.5 schema with both classes
Lightweight migration with @Attribute(originalName:)
Current Behavior:
Migration runs without errors
Objects appear to be inserted successfully
context.save() completes without throwing errors
But queries in didMigrate and post-migration return empty results
The objects seem to exist in a temporary state that doesn't persist
Expected Behavior:
Objects created during migration should be persisted and queryable
Post-migration queries should return the migrated objects
Data should be available in the main app after migration completes
Environment:
Xcode 16.0+
iOS 18.0+
SwiftData
Swift 6.0+
Key Questions:
Is there a specific way migration contexts should be handled for data to persist?
Are there known issues with object persistence in custom migrations?
Should we be using a different approach for class renaming migrations?
Is there a way to verify that objects are actually being written to the persistent store?
The migration appears to work perfectly until the verification step, where all created objects seem to vanish. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Additional Context from my investigation:
I've noticed these warning messages during migration that might be relevant:
text
SwiftData.ModelContext: Unbinding from the main queue. This context was instantiated on the main queue but is being used off it.
error: Persistent History (76) has to be truncated due to the following entities being removed: (Person)
This suggests there might be threading or context lifecycle issues affecting persistence.
Let me know if you need any additional information about my setup or migration configuration!
