I have tried to set up iCloud sync. Despite fully isolating and resetting my development environment, the app fails with: NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=134060 (PersistentStoreIncompatibleVersionHashError) What I’ve done: Created a brand new CloudKit container Created a new bundle ID and app target Renamed the Core Data model file itself Set a new model version Used a new .sqlite store path Created a new .entitlements file with the correct container ID Verified that the CloudKit dashboard shows no records Deleted and reinstalled the app on a real device Also tested with “Automatically manage signing” and without Despite this, the error persists. I am very inexperienced and am not sure what my next step is to even attempt to fix this. Any guidance is apprecitated.

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.

Hello, I'm planning to had an onboarding to one of my apps. I am thinking about a way for a user to not see the onboarding again if he installs the app on another device. So for example, the user completes the onboarding on its iPhone, then downloads the app on its iPad and launch it, he doesn't see the onboarding a second time. I thought about using iCloud NSUbiquitousKeyValueStored to store the onboarding completion state. But I'm not sure when the data is synced to the other device logged into the same Apple account: Immediately even if the app is not installed on the other device (independent from the app, only iCloud thing)? At the same time as the app install on the other device? After the app is first launched on the other device? Of course synchronisation will depend on the Internet connection, speed, etc. so the app should handle the case where the data is not here but what would be the best case scenario? Thank you, Axel

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?

Does anyone have this error and my app can't be searched in the Apple Store

I have one target building and filling the SwiftData store and then copying the same store file to another target of the app to use the contents. That worked fine from iOS 17 to iOS 26.0.1 Under iOS 26.1 I am getting following error: CoreData: error: This store file was previously used on a build with Persistence-1522 but is now running on a build with Persistence-1518. file:///Users/xxx/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/0FE92EA2-57FA-4A5E-ABD0-DAB4DABC3E02/data/Containers/Data/Application/B44D3256-9B09-4A60-94E2-C5F11A6519E7/Documents/default.store What does it mean and how to get back to working app under iOS 26.1?

I have the following lines of code to access data through CoreData. import Foundation import CoreData import CloudKit class CoreDataManager { static let instance = CoreDataManager() let container: NSPersistentCloudKitContainer let context: NSManagedObjectContext init() { container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: "ABC") container.loadPersistentStores(completionHandler: { (storeDescription, error) in if let error = error as NSError? { print(error.userInfo) } }) context = container.viewContext context.automaticallyMergesChangesFromParent = true context.mergePolicy = NSMergePolicy(merge: .mergeByPropertyObjectTrumpMergePolicyType) } func save() { do { try container.viewContext.save() print("Saved successfully") } catch { print("Error in saving data: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } } I have confirmed that I can share data between iPhone and iPad. Now, I need to use AppGroup as well. I have changed my code as follows. import Foundation import CoreData import CloudKit class CoreDataManager { static let shared = CoreDataManager() let container: NSPersistentContainer let context: NSManagedObjectContext init() { container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: "ABC") container.persistentStoreDescriptions = [NSPersistentStoreDescription(url: FileManager.default.containerURL(forSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier: "some group name")!.appendingPathComponent("CoreDataMama.sqlite"))] container.loadPersistentStores(completionHandler: { (description, error) in if let error = error as NSError? { print("Unresolved error \(error), \(error.userInfo)") } }) context = container.viewContext context.automaticallyMergesChangesFromParent = true context.mergePolicy = NSMergePolicy(merge: .mergeByPropertyObjectTrumpMergePolicyType) } func save() { do { try container.viewContext.save() print("Saved successfully") } catch { print("Error in saving data: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } } Other files being unaltered, my sample apps aren't sharing data. What am I doing wrong? Just FYI, I'm using actual devices. Thank you for your reading this topic.

is there a way to fix this?

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.

Hi, thank you for your reply. I have checked and confirmed that all AppleUser entity fields (id, name, email, password, createdAt) are optional, relationships (posts, comments) are optional, and I assign values when creating a new object, but Core Data still throws a nilError during registration; I have uploaded my project to GitHub for your reference here: https://github.com/Kawiichao/job. If reviewing it requires any payment, please let me know in advance. Thank you very much for your kind offer—I really appreciate it!

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)]) var planner: [Planner] ListView.swift image EditView.swift for record #1 DB Browser for SQLlite: record #1 (March 6, 2025 and March 4, 2025)

 Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm calling a method with the context as parameter, within the context's perform block – is this really not legal in Swift 6? actor MyActor { func bar(context: NSManagedObjectContext) { /* some code */ } func foo(context: NSManagedObjectContext) { context.performAndWait { self.bar(context: context) // WARN: Sending 'context' risks causing data races; this is an error in the Swift 6 language mode // 'self'-isolated 'context' is captured by a actor-isolated closure. actor-isolated uses in closure may race against later nonisolated uses // Access can happen concurrently } } } The warning appears when I call a method with a context parameter, within the performAndWait-block. Background: In my app I have methods that takes in API data, and I need to call the same methods from multiple places with the same context to store it, and I do not want to copy paste the code and have hundreds of lines of duplicate code. Is there a well-known "this is how you should do it" for situations like this? This is related to a previous post I made, but it's a bit flimsy and got no response: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/770605

Witam, na każdym urządzeniu Apple, iPhone’a/Watch mam możliwość instalować wersje beta developer. chciałbym wypisać się z wersji beta developer - nie mieć ich w ustawieniach. wiem że beta developer jest przypisana do mojego konta iCloud. po wylogowaniu się i przywróceniu ustawień fabrycznych, zakładka znika. gdy loguje się na konto iCloud pojawia Się wszędzie. nie zapisałem sie do developer bety. jak to usunąc?

Hi, I am building an iOS app with SwiftUI and SwiftData for the first time and I am experiencing a lot of difficulty with this error: Thread 44: Fatal error: Never access a full future backing data - PersistentIdentifier(id: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier.ID(backing: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier.PersistentIdentifierBacking.managedObjectID(<ID> <x-coredata://<UUID>/MySwiftDataModel/p1>)), backing: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier.PersistentIdentifierBacking.managedObjectID(<ID> <x-coredata://<UUID>/MySwiftDataModel/p1>)) with Optional(<UUID>) I have been trying to figure out what the problem is, but unfortunately I cannot find any information in the documentation or on other sources online. My only theory about this error is that it is somehow related to fetching an entity that has been created in-memory, but not yet saved to the modelContext in SwiftData. However, when I am trying to debug this, it's not clear this is the case. Sometimes the error happens, sometimes it doesn't. Saving manually does not always solve the error. Therefore, it would be extremely helpful if someone could explain what this error means and whether there are any best practices to do with SwiftData, or some pitfalls to avoid (such as wrapping my model context into a repository class). To be clear, this problem is NOT related to one area of my code, it happens throughout my app, at unpredictable places and time. Given that there is very little information related to this error, I am at a loss at how to make sure that this never happens. This question has been asked on the forum here as well as on StackOverflow, Reddit (can't link that here), but none of the answers worked for me. For reference, my models generally look like this: import Foundation import SwiftData @Model final class MySwiftDataModel { // Stable cross-device identity @Attribute(.unique) var uuid: UUID var someNumber: Int var someString: String @Relationship(deleteRule: .nullify, inverse: \AnotherSwiftDataModel.parentModel) var childModels: [AnotherSwiftDataModel] init(uuid: UUID = UUID(), someNumber: Int = 1, someString: String = "Some", childModels: [AnotherSwiftDataModel] = []) { self.uuid = uuid self.someNumber = someNumber self.someString = someString self.childModels = childModels } func addChildModel(model: AnotherSwiftDataModel) { self.childModels.append(model) } func removeChildModel(by id: PersistentIdentifier) { self.childModels = self.childModels.filter { $0.id != id } } } and the child model: import Foundation import SwiftData @Model final class AnotherSwiftDataModel { // Stable cross-device identity @Attribute(.unique) var uuid: UUID var someNumber: Int var someString: String var parentModel: MySwiftDataModel? init(uuid: UUID = UUID(), someNumber: Int = 1, someString: String = "Some") { self.uuid = uuid self.someNumber = someNumber self.someString = someString } } For now, you can assume I am not using CloudKit - i know for a fact the error is unrelated to CloudKit, because it happens when I am not using CloudKit (so I do not need to follow CloudKit's requirements for model design, such as nullable values etc). As I said, the error surfaces at different times - sometimes during assignments, a lot of times during deletions of related models, etc. Could you please explain what I am doing wrong and how I can make sure that this error does not happen? What are the architectural patterns that work best for SwiftData in this case? Do you have any examples of things I should avoid? Thanks

Every time I insert a subclass (MYShapeLayer) into the model context, the app crashes with an error: DesignerPlayground crashed due to fatalError in BackingData.swift at line 908.

Hello, In our app, we’ve modeled our schema using inheritance introduced in iOS 26.0, and we’re implementing SwiftData History to re-fetch models only when necessary. @Model public class Transaction { @Attribute(.preserveValueOnDeletion) public var date: Date = Date() public var amount: Double = 0 public var memo: String? } @Model public final class Spending: Transaction { public var installmentIndex: Int = 1 public var installment: Int = 1 public var installmentID: UUID? } If data has been deleted from database, we need to check a date property to determine whether to re-fetch datas. To do this, we added the preserveValueOnDeletion attribute to date property so we could retrieve it from the History tombstone value. However, after adding this attribute, a crash occurs. There is a console log Could not cast value of type 'Swift.ReferenceWritableKeyPath<Shared.ModelSchemaV5.Transaction, Foundation.Date>' (0x106bf8328) to 'Swift.PartialKeyPath<Shared.ModelSchemaV5.Spending>' (0x1094f21d8). and error log attached StrictMoneyChecking-2025-11-07-105108.txt I also tried this in the recent SampleTrip app, and fetching all history after a deletion causes the same crash. Is this issue currently being worked on or under investigation?

Hi, I'm using SwiftData in my app, and I want to sent data to iCloud with CloudKit, but I found that If the user turns off my App iCloud sync function in the settings App, the local data will also be deleted. A better way is maintaining the local data, just don't connect to iCloud.How should I do that? I need guidance!!! I'm just getting started with CloudKit And I would be appreciated!

Am I misunderstanding the expected behavior here, or is there a bug in the behavior of @Attribute(.ephemeral) tagged SwiftData model properties? The documentation for .ephemeral says "Track changes to this property but do not persist". I started using .ephemeral because @Transient was inhibiting SwiftUI from reacting to changes to the property through @Observable. I am updating the value of my @Attribute(.ephemeral) property about once a second and I am seeing corresponding console log output showing the property as part of the generated CKRecord object. I then confirmed in the CloudKit dev portal that the .ephemeral property was added to the Record schema and contains real values. The behavior seems as though the .ephemeral property is being completely ignored. This is observed in a new Xcode project using SwiftData with CloudKit, Xcode 16.2, macOS 15.3.1 and during Build & Run testing on physical devices.

I'm having some issues where only a subset of records appear in CloudKit dashboard after I have saved some records in my iOS app using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer. I have noticed that when I'm running my app using the development environment of my CloudKit container everything works smoothly and is uploaded as expected but when I'm using the production environment only a subset of records are actually uploaded. I'm pulling my hair on how to debug this. -com.apple.CoreData.CloudKitDebug and -com.apple.CoreData.SQLDebug pukes out too much info in the console for me to pinpoint any issue.

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.
