I know it's great for those new to Core Data and CloudKit for the system to automatically create record fields in CloudKit, but in this case, I wish I had control over the result to define this piece of binary data as a CKAsset in CloudKit. I will never manipulate the CloudKit data directly, but it would be nice to have consistency in the linking of Core Data binary data to CloudKit fields.

I've decided to use Core Data with CloudKit for the user's private data.

When you use the WatchConnectivityManager, do you update the applicationContext on the main thread? If not, that may be part of your connectivity problem.

Use Swift Playgrounds on an iPad. Use Xcode on a Mac.

Any thoughts from anybody?

The Apple document on CKAsset states the following. "If you don’t require the asset when retrieving records, use the operation’s desiredKeys property to exclude the field." But this doesn't work, at least for the function var (matchResults, queryCursor) = try await database.records(matching: query, desiredKeys: desiredKeys)

The issue is fixed. What was the problem? I had another line of code following the records line in which I did not set desiredKeys. Here's the line of code. let (continuingMatchResults, cMatchCursor) = try await database.records(continuingMatchFrom: queryCursor!) Oince I changed it to let (continuingMatchResults, cMatchCursor) = try await database.records(continuingMatchFrom: queryCursor!, desiredKeys: desiredKeys) all was well.

I had the same issue. What I wound up doing is creating a "filter" function which iterated through the CKRecords and removed records which did not match my search criteria. Here's the business part of that code. guard var records = theRecords else {return nil} for (index, record) in records.enumerated().reversed() { if let keyResult = record[keyWord] as? String { let resultString = keyResult.lowercased() if !resultString.contains(searchWord.lowercased()) { records.remove(at: index) } } }

I'm filling a bug report on this.

Your object is set to nil, but shouldn't it be set to ModelContext context?

Initialize your ModelConfiguration with your cloudKitContainerIdentifier. init( _ name: String? = nil, schema: Schema? = nil, url: URL, readOnly: Bool = false, cloudKitContainerIdentifier: String? = nil ) See here for details.

I've converted a version of my UIKit app to use SwiftData and CloudKit from CoreData/CloudKit. It works and the apps are syncing, but I am having a problem getting a notification when the data changes so I can update my view.

Try this in your view controller to observe remote change notifications. NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(updateView(_ :)), name: .NSPersistentStoreRemoteChange, object: nil)

All I had to do was observe the remote change notification within my view controller. I didn't need to turn on remote change notifications. NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(updateView(_ :)), name: .NSPersistentStoreRemoteChange, object: nil)
