watchOS 10: CloudKit CoreData Sync (NSPersistentCloudKitContainer) Requires Watch on Charger
I've encountered a significant sync issue with watchOS 10 RC on every device combination I've tested, running both iOS 17 and watchOS 10. I'm curious if others have noticed a similar problem. Context: Standalone watchOS app developed in SwiftUI with a companion iOS app. Both apps use NSPersistentCloudKitContainer for bi-directional CloudKit CoreData Sync between the iOS app and watch. Previously, this sync mechanism was near instant in the foreground and took max 1-2 minutes in the background NSPersistentCloudKitContainer has been reliable since the app was first developed in the watchOS 6/iOS 13 era. Issue: In watchOS 10 RC, sync can take hours--and doesn't even occur when the app is in the foreground. Sync only reliably happens when the watch is placed on the charger, seemingly only if the charge is over 50%. Once taken off the charger, the watch will continue push and receive CoreData changes briefly before becoming unresponsive to sync again. Additional Info: The problem persists even when recompiled with the latest Xcode RC. It's problem is consistent in both production and development CloudKit environments. The CloudKit log shows no watch activity upon CoreData object updates, until placed on the charger (with over 50% charge). The sync starts in the background while the watch is charging. The iOS app, however, reflects immediate activity in the CloudKit log after a CoreData change from the device and reacts promptly to pushes when they eventually occur from the watch. The NSPersistentCloudKitContainer code hasn't changed since it was implemented. Background modes for remote notifications are set correctly, and when sync finally happens, it's accurate. I'm stumped. Perhaps there's a new watchOS 10 setting affecting CloudKit sync QoS? Or could this be a known watchOS 10 RC bug?

.sheet no longer dismissable in WatchOS 7?
In WatchOS 6 a presented .sheet could be dismissed by swiping down or tapping on the navigationBarTitle. In the WatchOS 7 beta, presented sheets are no longer dismissible by either method...forcing the addition of a button to dismiss. It appears as if .sheet is now acting as .fullScreenCover within WatchOS 7. Anyone else running into this? Wondering if this is now expected behavior on WatchOS or if it's a bug...
