In wwdc2023-10203 (adding the tag on the new post form doesn't work), I initially had problems following the reality composer pro tutorial because the Stylized Clouds.usdz was not provided, and I could not find it anywhere. Eventually worked through things by using the provided sphere USD instead of the clouds.
Next up, adding the previewLayout option .sizeThatFits didn't fix the problem that the preview was clipped to the default scene bounds. I didn't realize this until I adjusted the objects back to the origin.
This doesn't work:
#Preview { ImmersiveView().previewLayout(.sizeThatFits) }
Selecting any option will automatically load the page

I'm working on a macOS app with a Safari web extension. I'm trying to share a SwiftData model between devices using CloudKit synchronization. I am able to get synchronization in the main app on the same device, CloudKit sync works correctly — changes appear in the CloudKit Dashboard under com.apple.coredata.cloudkit.zone.
However, in the Safari App Extension, data is saved locally and persists across launches, but never syncs to CloudKit.
I have followed the recommended practices for configuring the App Group and entitlements, but the issue persists.
Questions:
Is there an official limitation preventing Safari App Extensions from connecting to the CloudKit daemon (cloudd)?
If not, what entitlements or configuration changes are required for a Safari App Extension to successfully sync with CloudKit?
Is the xpc_error=159 from bootstrap_look_up() a known sandbox restriction for this extension type?
Any guidance from Apple engineers or others who have successfully used CloudKit from a Safari App Extension would be appreciated.
What I’ve confirmed:
The extension’s .entitlements includes:
com.apple.security.app-sandbox
com.apple.developer.icloud-services
CloudKit
com.apple.developer.icloud-container-identifiers
iCloud.dev.example.myapp
Same iCloud container ID for both app and extension
CloudKit container exists and is initialized in CloudKit Console
Running in :Sandbox environment during development
Database name in SwiftData matches container identifier (without the iCloud. prefix)
The extension’s codesign output shows correct entitlements
App Group is configured (although in this case, extension and app use separate stores intentionally)
Observed behavior in Console.app logs:
CloudKit sync engine initializes in the extension
XPC activities are registered for import/export:
_xpc_activity_register: com.apple.coredata.cloudkit.activity.export.
xpc_activity_set_criteria: ... import.
Then a bootstrap lookup fails:
failed to do a bootstrap look-up: xpc_error=[159: Unknown error: 159]
CloudKit daemon connection error:
CKErrorDomain Code=6 "Error connecting to CloudKit daemon"
NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4099
There is no “Will attempt to upload transactions” or “Upload succeeded” logs are ever seen.
Symptoms
When the extension is run, I see logs like the following in Console.app:
[0x13e215820] failed to do a bootstrap look-up: xpc_error=[159: Unknown error: 159]
CoreData+CloudKit: -[PFCloudKitSetupAssistant _checkAccountStatus:]_block_invoke(342): Fetched account info for store : (null)
Error Domain=CKErrorDomain Code=6 "Error connecting to CloudKit daemon. This could happen for many reasons..."
