The service was down for a few days, which was highly frustrating. However, I checked again today and confirmed it is now working perfectly without any errors. Moving forward, I hope we can avoid similar outages. If they do occur, it would be incredibly helpful if the CloudKit team provided troubleshooting steps for developers to take. For example, having a feature in the CloudKit Console (such as a button to manually restart the iCloud Container) would be an excellent tool for resolving these kinds of server-side deadlocks.

Hi ibdakine, could you let me know how you eventually solved this issue? I have recently been running into the same error..

My another concern is that the entire underlying UIView/UIViewController - not just the TestViewModel - is being retained in this case, and we can't tell instantly.

Same boring issue. I just found making "Show live issues" unchecked will avoid this typing issue for now (this checkbox is located at "General" tab of Xcode preferences).
