I'm looking for guidance how to mitigate this crash. It seems super deep inside Core Data' FRC fetchedObjects management. In my code, it's initiated by this viewContext.perform { [unowned self] in self.viewContext.mergeChanges(fromContextDidSave: notification) } which is directly followed by the stack trace below. Basically merging data from .NSManagedObjectContextDidSave notification from another NSManagedObjectContext. Nothing special, it works great for years, apart from these rare occurrences.

There is a conflict in SwiftData (specifically when synced with CloudKit) when a @Model attribute shares the same name as a case within its assigned enum type. When this occurs, accessing the attribute on a model instance consistently returns the value corresponding to the enum case name, rather than the actual value persisted in the database. Steps to Reproduce Define an enumeration (e.g., Status) with a case that matches a planned property name (e.g., case status). Create a SwiftData @Model that uses this enum. Name the property in the model the same as the enum case. Attempt to save and then retrieve the value. Example Code enum TaskStatus: String, Codable { case status // The conflict source case pending case completed } @Model class TodoItem { // Conflict: Property name matches enum case name var status: TaskStatus init(status: TaskStatus) { self.status = status } } Expected Behavior The property item.status should return the value stored in the database (e.g., .pending or .completed). Actual Behavior The property item.status consistently resolves to the enum case .status, ignoring the actual persisted data.

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!

I'm implementing SwiftData with inheritance in an app. I have an Entity class with a property name. This class is inherited by two other classes: Store and Person. The Entity model has a one-to-many relationship with a Transaction class. I can list all my Entity models in a List with a @Query annotation without a problem. However, then I try to access the name property of an Entity from a Transaction relationship, the app crashes with the following error: Thread 1: Fatal error: Never access a full future backing data - PersistentIdentifier(id: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier.ID(backing: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier.PersistentIdentifierBacking.managedObjectID(0x96530ce28d41eb63 <x-coredata://DABFF7BB-C412-474E-AD50-A1F30AC6DBE9/Person/p4>))) with Optional(F07E7E23-F8F0-4CC0-B282-270B5EDDC7F3) From my attempts to fix the issue, I noticed that: The crash seems related to the relationships with classes that has inherit from another class, since it only happens there. When I create new data, I can usually access it without any problem. The crash mostly happens after reloading the app. This error has been mentioned on the forum (for example here), but in a context not related with inheritance. You can find the full code here. For reference, my models looks like this: @Model class Transaction { @Attribute(.unique) var id: String var name: String var date: Date var amount: Double var entity: Entity? var store: Store? { entity as? Store } var person: Person? { entity as? Person } init( id: String = UUID().uuidString, name: String, amount: Double, date: Date = .now, entity: Entity? = nil, ) { self.id = id self.name = name self.amount = amount self.date = date self.entity = entity } } @Model class Entity: Identifiable { @Attribute(.preserveValueOnDeletion) var name: String var lastUsedAt: Date @Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade, inverse: \Transaction.entity) var operations: [Transaction] init( name: String, lastUsedAt: Date = .now, operations: [Transaction] = [], ) { self.name = name self.lastUsedAt = lastUsedAt self.operations = operations } } @available(iOS 26, *) @Model class Store: Entity { @Attribute(.unique) var id: String var locations: [Location] init( id: String = UUID().uuidString, name: String, lastUsedAt: Date = .now, locations: [Location] = [], operations: [Transaction] = [] ) { self.locations = locations self.id = id super.init(name: name, lastUsedAt: lastUsedAt, operations: operations) } } In order to reproduce the error: Run the app in the simulator. Click the + button to create a new transaction. Relaunch the app, then click on any transaction. The app crashes when it tries to read te name property while building the details view.

"No records found" If I create a new record on the console, I can copy the record name. I can then query for recordName and get that individual record back. BUT no other queries work. I cannot query all records. I cannot query by individual property. Just returns "no records found" Seems like my indexes got messed up. Is there a way to reset indexes on prod? This is on a coredata.cloudkit managed zone.

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

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

I've noticed that SwiftData's @Relationship seems to potentially cause application crashes. The crash error is shown in the image. Since this crash appears to be random and I cannot reproduce it under specific circumstances, I can only temporarily highlight that this issue seems to exist. @Model final class TrainInfo { @Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade, inverse: \StopStation.trainInfo) var stations: [StopStation]? } @Model final class StopStation { @Relationship var trainInfo: TrainInfo? } /// some View var origin: StopStationDisplayable? { if let train = train as? TrainInfo { return train.stations?.first(where: { $0.isOrigin }) ?? train.stations?.first(where: { $0.isStarting }) } return nil } // Some other function or property func someFunction() { if let origin, let destination { // Function implementation } }

This is probably super simple answer that I missed, but: I have an app that has a database; I'd like to create a second app (actually a CLI tool), and access the same database. Is that possible? And, if so, how? 😄

The following complex migration consistently crashes the app with the following error: SwiftData/PersistentModel.swift:726: Fatal error: What kind of backing data is this? SwiftData._KKMDBackingData<SwiftDataMigration.ItemSchemaV1.ItemList> My app relies on a complex migration that involves these optional 1 to n relationships. Theoretically I could not assign the relationships in the willMigrate block but afterwards I am not able to tell which list and items belonged together.

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?

The CloudKit Console includes a Unique Users table in the Usage section. The numbers here are lower than what I would expect. Does this only track a certain percentage of users, e.g. users have opted in to share analytics with developers?

Definitely one of the stranger quirks of SwiftData I've come across. I have a ScriptView that shows Line entities related to a Production, and a TextEnterScriptView that’s presented in a sheet to input text. I’m noticing that every time I type in the TextEditor within TextEnterScriptView, a new Line shows up in ScriptView — even though I haven’t explicitly inserted it into the modelContext. I'm quite confused because even though I’m only assigning a new Line to a local @State array in TextEnterScriptView, every keystroke in the TextEditor causes a duplicate Line to appear in ScriptView. In other words, Why is SwiftData creating new Line entities every time I type in the TextEditor, even though I’m only assigning to a local @State array and not explicitly inserting them into the modelContext? Here is my minimal reproducible example: import SwiftData import SwiftUI @main struct testApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() .modelContainer(for: Line.self, isAutosaveEnabled: false) } } } struct ContentView: View { @Environment(\.modelContext) var modelContext @Query(sort: \Production.title) var productions: [Production] var body: some View { NavigationStack { List(productions) { production in NavigationLink(value: production) { Text(production.title) } } .navigationDestination(for: Production.self) { production in ScriptView(production: production) } .toolbar { Button("Add", systemImage: "plus") { let production = Production(title: "Test \(productions.count + 1)") modelContext.insert(production) do { try modelContext.save() } catch { print(error) } } } .navigationTitle("Productions") } } } struct ScriptView: View { @Query private var lines: [Line] let production: Production @State private var isShowingSheet: Bool = false var body: some View { List { ForEach(lines) { line in Text(line.content) } } .toolbar { Button("Show Sheet") { isShowingSheet.toggle() } } .sheet(isPresented: $isShowingSheet) { TextEnterScriptView(production: production) } } } struct TextEnterScriptView: View { @Environment(\.dismiss) var dismiss @State private var text = "" @State private var lines: [Line] = [] let production: Production var body: some View { NavigationStack { TextEditor(text: $text) .onChange(of: text, initial: false) { lines = [Line(content: "test line", production: production)] } .toolbar { Button("Done") { dismiss() } } } } } @Model class Production { @Attribute(.unique) var title: String @Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade, inverse: \Line.production) var lines: [Line] = [] init(title: String) { self.title = title } } @Model class Line { var content: String var production: Production? init(content: String, production: Production?) { self.content = content self.production = production } }

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 am working with SwiftData and get the below error. I can't find any documentation on it to see what to fix. Any help would be appreciated. Fatal error: This relationship already has a value but it's not the target:

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.

Does the CloudKit participant limit of 100 include the owner?

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

I'm using SwiftData with CloudKit private database. I was able to identify the error on my device by debugging in Xcode with com.apple.CoreData.SQLDebug flag. However, in Production, I couldn't find a way to get the cause of errors. I tried inspecting the error coming from eventChangedNotification. The NSPersistentCloudKitContainer.Event error does not contain any underlying error (neither CKError.userInfo nor in NSError.underlyingError). It only reports a partial failure with CKErrorDomain code 2. If a user encounter an error, there seems to be no way to retrieve the error details. Is there any way to access the error details or logs in Production?

I'm setting up App Entities for my SwiftData models and I'm not sure about the best way to reference SwiftData model properties in the AppEntity. I have a SwiftData model with many properties: @Model final class Contact { @Attribute(.unique) var id: UUID = UUID() var name: String var phoneNumber: String var email: String var website: URL? var birthday: Date? var notes: String // ... many more properties } I want to expose these properties on my AppEntity so they're available for system features, such as giving Apple Intelligence more context about on-screen content. struct ContactEntity: AppEntity { var id: UUID @Property(title: "Name") var name: String @Property(title: "Phone") var phoneNumber: String @Property(title: "Email") var email: String // ... all the other properties } I couldn't find guidance in the documentation for this specific situation. I've considered two approaches: Add @Property variables to the AppEntity for each SwiftData model property and copy all values from the SwiftData model to the AppEntity in the AppEntity initializer — but I recall this being discouraged in previous WWDC sessions since it duplicates data and can become stale Use @ComputedProperty to fetch the model and access the single properties — this seems like an alternative, but fetching the entire model just to access individual properties doesn't feel right What is the recommended approach when SwiftData is the data source? Thank you!
