CloudKit: Efficient way to get user's rank in leaderboard without fetching all records? I'm building a leaderboard feature using CloudKit's public database and need advice on the best approach to calculate a user's rank efficiently. Current Setup Record Structure: Record Type: LeaderboardScore Fields: period (String): "daily", "weekly", "monthly", "allTime" score (Int): User's score profile (Reference): Link to user's profile achievedAt (Date): Timestamp Leaderboard Display: Initially fetch first 15 users (sorted by score descending) Paginate to load more as user scrolls Show total player count Show current user's rank (even if not in top 15) The Challenge I can fetch the first 15 users easily with a sorted query, but I need to display the current user's rank regardless of their position. For example: User could be ranked #1 (in top 15) ✅ Easy User could be ranked #247 (not in top 15) ❌ How to get this efficiently? My Current Approach Query records with scores higher than the user's score and count them: // Count how many users scored higher let predicate = NSPredicate( format: "period == %@ AND score > %d", period, userScore ) // Rank = count + 1 Concerns For 1000+ users with better scores, this requires multiple paginated queries Even with desiredKeys: [], I'm concerned about performance and CloudKit request limits Questions Is there a CloudKit API I'm missing that can efficiently count records matching a predicate without fetching all the records and paginating? Is this approach acceptable for a leaderboard with 1K-10K users? Does fetching with desiredKeys: [] help significantly with performance? Are there any optimizations I should consider to make this more efficient? What's the recommended approach for calculating user rank in CloudKit at this scale? Current Scale Expected: 1,000-10,000 active users per leaderboard period Platform: iOS 17+, SwiftUI Any guidance on best practices for leaderboards usecase in CloudKit would be greatly appreciated!

I've spent a few months writing an app that uses SwiftData with inheritance. Everything worked well until I tried adding CloudKit support. To do so, I had to make all relationships optional, which exposed what appears to be a bug. Note that this isn't a CloudKit issue -- it happens even when CloudKit is disabled -- but it's due to the requirement for optional relationships. In the code below, I get the following error on the second call to modelContext.save() when the button is clicked: Could not cast value of type 'SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier' (0x1ef510b68) to 'SimplePersistenceIdentifierTest.Computer' (0x1025884e0). I was surprised to find zero hit when Googling "Could not cast value of type 'SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier'". Some things to note: Calling teacher.computers?.append(computer) instead of computer.teacher = teacher results in the same error. It only happens when Teacher inherits Person. It only happens if modelContext.save() is called both times. It works if the first modelContext.save() is commented out. If the second modelContext.save()is commented out, the error occurs the second time the model context is saved (whether explicitly or implicitly). Keep in mind this is a super simple repro written to generate on demand the error I'm seeing in a normal app. In my app, modelContext.save() must be called in some places to update the UI immediately, sometimes resulting in the error seconds later when the model context is saved automatically. Not calling modelContext.save() doesn't appear to be an option. To be sure, I'm new to this ecosystem so I'd be thrilled if I've missed something obvious! Any thoughts are appreciated. import Foundation import SwiftData import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @Environment(\.modelContext) var modelContext var body: some View { VStack { Button("Do it") { let teacher = Teacher() let computer = Computer() modelContext.insert(teacher) modelContext.insert(computer) try! modelContext.save() computer.teacher = teacher try! modelContext.save() } } } } @Model class Computer { @Relationship(deleteRule: .nullify) var teacher: Teacher? init() {} } @Model class Person { init() {} } @available(iOS 26.0, macOS 26.0, *) @Model class Teacher: Person { @Relationship(deleteRule: .nullify, inverse: \Computer.teacher) public var computers: [Computer]? = [] override init() { super.init() } }

Hi Writing an app in Swift on Xcode for my iPhone, all software is the latest version. If after making a minor change and re-building all the application data has disappeared, is there a way to see if it is still in the .modelContainer and just not showing up?

I'm running into a problem in my attempt to clear CKAssets on the iCloud server. The documentation for CKAsset says: If you no longer require an asset that’s on the server, you don’t delete it. Instead, orphan the asset by setting any fields that contain the asset to nil and then saving the record. CloudKit periodically deletes orphaned assets from the server. I'm deleting image file assets which are properties on an ImageReference type (largeImage and thumbNailImage properties). When I delete an image, I am setting those properties to nil and sending the record for the ImageReference to iCloud using the async CKDatabase.modifyRecords method. This always results in an error: <CKError 0x600000d92a60: "Asset File Not Found" (16/3002); "open error: 2 (No such file or directory)"> And of course the assets still appear in the CloudKit dashboard. What is the proper way of orphaning the assets on the CloudKit server?

Hey everyone, I found a possible SwiftData Release-only issue with nested sort descriptors on an optional relationship. In a minimal repro, sorting a @Query by a nested optional relationship key path like: SortDescriptor(\InvestigationPhotoAsset.imageAnalysis?.overallAestheticsScore, order: .reverse) works in Debug, but crashes at runtime in Release. The surprising part is that the crash depends on file layout: if the active SwiftData models and the sort logic are kept in the same Swift file, the app works if the same models are split into separate files, the Release build crashes, 'Debug' will also work The repro was reduced to just two SwiftData models: InvestigationPhotoAsset InvestigationImageAnalysis So this looks less like an app-modeling issue and more like a SwiftData/compiler/codegen issue related to nested sort metadata in optimized builds. If useful, I can also give you a slightly more formal version with a title and code snippet block. Please check out the code example here Has anyone faced something similar? Bug is reported as FB22173905

I accidentally deleted all CloudKit containers from the CloudKit Database console, and now I'm unable to create new containers. Both the CloudKit Console website and Xcode are not allowing me to create any new containers. Is there a way to restore the deleted containers? How can I create a new CloudKit container if the console website is not responding? Thank you.

Hello, I have a iOS app I was looking at porting to Mac. I'm having an issue with both the Mac (Designed for iPad) and Mac Catalyst Destinations. I can't test Mac due to too many build issues. I'm trying to assign a new NSManagedObject into a NSPersistentStore. let object = MyObject(context: context) context.assign(object, to: nsPersistentStore) This works fine for iOS/iOS Simulator/iPhone/iPad. But on the Mac it's crashing with FAULT: NSInvalidArgumentException: Can't assign an object to a store that does not contain the object's entity.; { Thread 1: "Can't assign an object to a store that does not contain the object's entity."

Hi forum! I’m currently following a series of videos about SwiftData. In the WWDC23 Build an app with SwiftData video, it mentions that you can follow up with a demo project. However, I’m encountering an issue (at least in my case) where there’s no link on the entire page to download the project. I can download the video and other resources (even using the Developer’s App), but there’s no link for the project. Does anyone else face this issue? Is it possible that the project has been removed? I’m using my developer (single user) account, by the way. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

I currently have a schema in production (cloudKit and local files) containing non-optional transformable values, e.g. @Attribute(.transformable(by: TestTransformer.self)) var number: TestTransformable = TestTransformable.init(value: 100) Unfortunately, this is preventing any migration from succeeding (documented at length in FB22151570). Briefly summarized, any migration from a Schema containing non-optional transformable values fails between willMigrate and didMigrate with the error "Can't find model for source store". This occurs for all migrations, including lightweight with a migration plan, lightweight without a plan, and custom migrations. Worst of all, this also prevents migration to optional transformable values, or the elimination of the transformable value entirely, leaving us completely stuck. (note: optional transformable values only work when they have a default value set to nil, otherwise even these have issues migrating) We already have features being blocked by this issue, and would like to preserve user-data while restoring our ability to move forwards with database. Are there any known workarounds for using SwiftData (+CloudKit) when schema migration is non-operational?

I've been trying to build an example of NSStagedMigrationManager from some Core Data migration tests to replace a custom migration manager solution I'd constructed, without much success. The Core Data model has seven model versions. Most support lightweight migration, but two of the migrations in the middle of the sequence used NSMappingModel. In the first beta, just attempting to construct an NSStagedMigrationManager from the series of stages failed with an unrecognized selector. That no longer happens in b4, but I now get an error that "Duplicate version checksums across stages detected." If I restrict myself to just the first three versions of the model (that only require lightweight migration), I can build the migration manager. But if I attempt to use it to migrate a persistent store, it fails somewhere in NSPersistentStoreCoordinator with a nilError. The documentation is almost nonexistent for this process, and the WWDC session that introduced it isn't much more than a breezy overview. So maybe I'm holding it wrong? (And, yes: FB12339663)

Hi all I have a problem with core data, where when a new user login that is different from the previous user i delete all of core data by using "destroyPersistentStore". Then i recreate the persistent store, this works when i am testing. When it does not work for one of my users when she test. I am not sure why this should not work, i have added the code i use to destroy the persistent store below. This code is run after login but before the view changes away from my login view. // Retrieves the shared `AppDelegate` instance guard let appDelegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate as? AppDelegate else { return } appDelegate.destroyDataSyncBackground() // Get a reference to a NSPersistentStoreCoordinator let storeContainer = appDelegate.persistentContainer.persistentStoreCoordinator // Delete each existing persistent store for store in storeContainer.persistentStores { if let url = store.url { do { try storeContainer.destroyPersistentStore( at: url, ofType: store.type, options: nil ) } catch { print("Failed to deleted all") } } else { print("Failed to deleted all") } } // Re-create the persistent container appDelegate.persistentContainer = NSPersistentContainer( name: "CueToCue" // the name of // a .xcdatamodeld file ) // Calling loadPersistentStores will re-create the // persistent stores appDelegate.persistentContainer.loadPersistentStores { (store, error) in // Handle errors let description = NSPersistentStoreDescription() description.shouldMigrateStoreAutomatically = true description.shouldInferMappingModelAutomatically = true appDelegate.persistentContainer.persistentStoreDescriptions = [description] } // Reapply context configuration let viewContext = appDelegate.persistentContainer.viewContext viewContext.automaticallyMergesChangesFromParent = true viewContext.mergePolicy = NSMergeByPropertyObjectTrumpMergePolicy do { try viewContext.save() appDelegate.recreateDataSyncBackground() } catch { print("Debug: saving delete all failed.") } } The function "destroyDataSyncBackground" just set the my sync class to nil so stop any changes to core data while the code is running. The function "recreateDataSyncBackground" recreate the sync class so fetch, post and patch requests is made again.

I've understood that SwiftData is not abled to share the whole content of a cloudkit database. So I'm trying to rewrite everything. Does someone knows id Sharing is coming on SwiftData at WWDC 26? Anyway, can someone can point me an example a a configured coredata stack that share all its content with other icloud users (with sharing pane and accept invitation code). At this step, on the owner side, I see some data in the default zone of my private container but nothing is visible on the shared zone. Maybe I don't understand where and when I should check shared data in cloudkit console. Need Help also here. See below by configuration stack: // Core Data container public lazy var container: NSPersistentContainer = { switch delegate.usage() { case .preview : return previewContainer() case .local : return localContainer() case .cloudKit : return cloudKitContainer() } }() private func cloudKitContainer() -> NSPersistentContainer { let modelURL = delegate.modelURL() let modelName = modelURL.deletingPathExtension().lastPathComponent guard let model = NSManagedObjectModel(contentsOf: modelURL) else { fatalError("Could not load Core Data model from \(modelURL)") } let container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer( name: modelName, managedObjectModel: model ) let groupIdentifier = AppManager.shared.groupIdentifier guard let appGroupURL = FileManager.default.containerURL ( forSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier: groupIdentifier ) else { fatalError("App Group not found: \(groupIdentifier)") } // MARK: - Private Store Configuration let privateStoreURL = appGroupURL.appendingPathComponent("\(modelName).sqlite") let privateStoreDescription = NSPersistentStoreDescription(url: privateStoreURL) // Persistent history tracking (MANDATORY) privateStoreDescription.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: NSPersistentHistoryTrackingKey) privateStoreDescription.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: NSPersistentStoreRemoteChangeNotificationPostOptionKey) // CloudKit options for private database // Core Data automatically uses the default zone: com.apple.coredata.cloudkit.zone let privateCloudKitOptions = NSPersistentCloudKitContainerOptions(containerIdentifier: delegate.cloudKitIdentifier()) privateCloudKitOptions.databaseScope = .private privateStoreDescription.cloudKitContainerOptions = privateCloudKitOptions // MARK: - Shared Store Configuration guard let sharedStoreDescription = privateStoreDescription.copy() as?

"shared" : "private" print("✅ \(scope) store loaded at: \(storeDescription.url?.path ?? "unknown")") } // Auto-merge container.viewContext.automaticallyMergesChangesFromParent = true container.viewContext.mergePolicy = NSMergeByPropertyObjectTrumpMergePolicy do { try container.viewContext.setQueryGenerationFrom(.current) } catch { fatalError("Fail to pin viewContext to the current generation:\(error)") } return container }

I'm trying to understand the terminology around forward vs backward references in CloudKit. Say I have two record types: User LeaderboardScore (a score belongs to a user) The score record stores a user reference: score["user"] = CKRecord.Reference( recordID: userRecordID, action: .deleteSelf ) So: LeaderboardScore → User The user record does not store any references to scores From a data-model perspective: Is this considered a forward reference (child → parent)? Or a back reference, since the score is "pointing back" to its owner? My use case is having leaderboard in my app and so i have created a user table to store all the users and a score table for saving the scores of each user of the app.

Hi everyone, I’m facing an issue with CloudKit sync getting stuck during initial device migration in my SwiftData-based app. The app follows a local-first architecture using SwiftData + CloudKit sync, and works correctly for: ✔ Incremental sync ✔ Bi-directional updates ✔ Small datasets However, when onboarding a new device with large historical data, sync becomes extremely slow or appears stuck. Even after two hours data is not fully synced. ~6900 Transactions 🚨 Problem When installing the app on a new iPhone and enabling iCloud sync: • Initial hydration starts • A small amount of data syncs • Then sync stalls indefinitely Observed behaviour: • iPhone → Mac sync works (new changes sync back) • Mac → iPhone large historical migration gets stuck • Reinstalling app / clearing container does not resolve issue • Sync never completes full migration This gives the impression that: CloudKit is trickling data but not progressing after a certain threshold. The architecture is: • SwiftData local store • Manual CloudKit sync layer • Local-first persistence • Background push/pull sync So I understand: ✔ Conflict resolution is custom ✔ Initial import may not be optimized by default But I expected CloudKit to eventually deliver all records. Instead, the new device remains permanently in a “partial state”. ⸻ 🔍 Observations • No fatal CloudKit errors • No rate-limit errors • No quota issues • iCloud is available • Sync state remains “Ready” • Hydration remains “mostlyReady” Meaning: CloudKit does not report failure — but data transfer halts. ⸻ 🤔 Questions Would appreciate guidance on: Is CloudKit designed to support large initial dataset migration via manual sync layers? Or is this a known limitation vs NSPersistentCloudKitContainer? ⸻ Does CloudKit internally throttle historical record fetches? Could it silently stall without error when record volume is high? ⸻ Is there any recommended strategy for: • Bulk initial migration • Progressive hydration • Forcing forward sync progress ⸻ Should initial migration be handled outside CloudKit (e.g. via file transfer / backup restore) before enabling sync? ⸻ 🎯 Goal I want to support: • Large historical onboarding • Multi-device sync • User-visible progress Without forcing migration to Core Data. ⸻ 🙏 Any advice on: • Best practices • Debugging approach • CloudKit behavior in such scenarios would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi everyone I would like to achieve having unidirectional relationships in my SwiftData project (which I believe is possible: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/updates/swiftdata?changes=_9) but I'm afraid I'm struggling to overcome the errors I'm experiencing. For example, I have the following models: @Model final class Quota { @Attribute(.unique) var id: UUID var allowance: Int @Relationship(inverse: nil) var fish: Fish init(id: UUID = UUID(), fish: Fish, allowance: Int) { self.id = id self.fish = fish self.allowance = allowance } } @Model final class Fish { @Attribute(.unique) var id: Int var name: String init(id: Int, name: String) { self.id = id, self.name = name } } However, when I attempt to save a quota as so: let quota: Quota = .init(fish: Fish(id: 2, name: "Salmon"), allowance: 50) modelContext?.insert(quota) try save() I keep getting the following error: SwiftData.DefaultStore save failed with error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=1570 "%{PROPERTY}@ is a required value." UserInfo={NSValidationErrorObject=<NSManagedObject: 0x600002217390> (entity: Fish; id: 0x83319d001151328d <x-coredata://C76A2A64-146E-432F-A565-319B5A2F23F5/Fish/p12>; data: { id = nil; }), NSLocalizedDescription=%{PROPERTY}@ is a required value., NSValidationErrorKey=id, NSValidationErrorValue=null} %{PROPERTY}@ is a required value. However, if I set up Quota and Fish with an inverse relationship then the data saves as expected, so I'm a little confused. Is there anyone out there who can provide some guidance as to why I'm seeing this error when I try to save a record in SwiftData with no inverse relationship? I do fully understand about unidirectional vs bidirectional relationships but I have a scenario where I need the relationship to be unidirectional. Also, as a side note, the Fish record already exists in my database, but if I delete it and try to save the record I still see this error. Thank you so much in advance for any help.

I have several macOS applications that use CloudKit. I need to test and finds out what happens when the user signs out of their iCloud account. That's because the application may lose data after signing out and then signing in again. Every time I do that, it'll take 15, 20 minutes... I don't time it, but it takes quite a gigantic time to sign out as the spinner keeps rolling. Why does it take so long to just sign out? This sign out effect is untestable because it takes a long time to sign out of an iCloud account and then make changes to the code and then test again. In case you need to know, my system version is Sequoia 15.7.

I have an app with fairly typical requirements - I need to insert some data (in my case from the network but could be anything) and I want to do it in the background to keep the UI responsive. I'm using SwiftData. I've created a ModelActor that does the importing and using the debugger I can confirm that the data is indeed being inserted. On the UI side, I'm using @Query and a SwiftUI List to display the data but what I am seeing is that @Query is not updating as the data is being inserted. I have to quit and re-launch the app in order for the data to appear, almost like the context running the UI isn't communicating with the context in the ModelActor. I've included a barebones sample project. To reproduce the issue, tap the 'Background Insert' button. You'll see logs that show items being inserted but the UI is not showing any data. I've tested on the just released iOS 18b3 seed (22A5307f). The sample project is here: https://hanchor.s3.amazonaws.com/misc/SwiftDataBackgroundV2.zip

While testing record creation in public CloudKit database for authenticated user I am able to do so without any issues. But for devices missing iCloud account or authentication expired I am seeing the below error: ▿ <CKError 0x97a959200: "Permission Failure" (10/2007); server message = "CREATE operation not permitted"; op = 67331DE3AF3DD666; uuid = 1F3ACD4F-A799-4CD4-ADF0-EDE9E12F2DCB; container ID = "***"> _nsError : <CKError 0x97a959200: "Permission Failure" (10/2007); server message = "CREATE operation not permitted"; op = 67331DE3AF3DD666; uuid = 1F3ACD4F-A799-4CD4-ADF0-EDE9E12F2DCB; container ID = "***"> I am unable to add create/write permission to _world security role in dashboard. Is this something not supported by Cloudkit? Only authenticated iCloud users will be able to create and write data to public database as well?

I have started from here: Apple's guide on the sharing core data objects between iCloud users and I have created a sample project that has Collections and Items. Everything works great while I stay on Swift 5, like with the initial project. I would like to migrate to Swift 6 (Default Actor Isolaton @MainActor, Approachable Concurrency: Yes) on the project and I am stuck at extension CDCollection: Transferable { ... }. When compiling with Swift 5, there is a warning: Conformance of 'NSManagedObject' to 'Sendable' is unavailable in iOS; this is an error in the Swift 6 language mode. After resolving almost all compile-time warnings I'm left with: Conformance of 'CDCollection' to protocol 'Transferable' crosses into main actor-isolated code and can cause data races. Which I don't think will work, because of the warning shown above. It can be worked around like: nonisolated extension CDCollection: Transferable, @unchecked Sendable Then there are errors: let persistentContainer = PersistenceController.shared.persistentContainer Main actor-isolated static property 'shared' can not be referenced from a nonisolated context. I've created the following class to have a Sendable object: struct CDCollectionTransferable: Transferable { var objectID: NSManagedObjectID var persistentContainer: NSPersistentCloudKitContainer public static var transferRepresentation: some TransferRepresentation { CKShareTransferRepresentation { collectionToExport in let persistentContainer = collectionToExport.persistentContainer let ckContainer = CloudKitProvider.container var collectionShare: CKShare? if let shareSet = try? persistentContainer.fetchShares( matching: [collectionToExport.objectID]), let (_, share) = shareSet.first { collectionShare = share } /** Return the existing share if the collection already has a share. */ if let share = collectionShare { return .existing(share, container: ckContainer) } /** Otherwise, create a new share for the collection and return it. Use uriRepresentation of the object in the Sendable closure. */ let collectionURI = collectionToExport.objectID .uriRepresentation() return .prepareShare(container: ckContainer) { let collection = await persistentContainer.viewContext .perform { let coordinator = persistentContainer.viewContext .persistentStoreCoordinator guard let objectID = coordinator?.managedObjectID( forURIRepresentation: collectionURI ) else { fatalError( "Failed to return the managed objectID for: \(collectionURI)." ) } return persistentContainer.viewContext.object( with: objectID ) } let (_, share, _) = try await persistentContainer.share( [collection], to: nil ) return share } } } } And I'm able to compile and run the app with this change: let transferable = CDCollectionTransferable( objectID: collection.objectID, persistentContainer: PersistenceController.shared .persistentContainer ) ToolbarItem { ShareLink( item: transferable, preview: SharePreview("Share \(collection.name)!") ) { MenuButtonLabel( title: "New Share", systemImage: "square.and.arrow.up" ) } } The app crashes when launched with libdispatch.dylib`_dispatch_assert_queue_fail: 0x1052c6ea4 <+0>: sub sp, sp, #0x50 0x1052c6ea8 <+4>: stp x20, x19, [sp, #0x30] 0x1052c6eac <+8>: stp x29, x30, [sp, #0x40] 0x1052c6eb0 <+12>: add x29, sp, #0x40 0x1052c6eb4 <+16>: adrp x8, 63 0x1052c6eb8 <+20>: add x8, x8, #0xa0c ; "not " 0x1052c6ebc <+24>: adrp x9, 62 0x1052c6ec0 <+28>: add x9, x9, #0x1e5 ; "" 0x1052c6ec4 <+32>: stur xzr, [x29, #-0x18] 0x1052c6ec8 <+36>: cmp w1, #0x0 0x1052c6ecc <+40>: csel x8, x9, x8, ne 0x1052c6ed0 <+44>: ldr x10, [x0, #0x48] 0x1052c6ed4 <+48>: cmp x10, #0x0 0x1052c6ed8 <+52>: csel x9, x9, x10, eq 0x1052c6edc <+56>: stp x9, x0, [sp, #0x10] 0x1052c6ee0 <+60>: adrp x9, 63 0x1052c6ee4 <+64>: add x9, x9, #0x9db ; "BUG IN CLIENT OF LIBDISPATCH: Assertion failed: " 0x1052c6ee8 <+68>: stp x9, x8, [sp] 0x1052c6eec <+72>: adrp x1, 63 0x1052c6ef0 <+76>: add x1, x1, #0x9a6 ; "%sBlock was %sexpected to execute on queue [%s (%p)]" 0x1052c6ef4 <+80>: sub x0, x29, #0x18 0x1052c6ef8 <+84>: bl 0x105301b18 ; symbol stub for: asprintf 0x1052c6efc <+88>: ldur x19, [x29, #-0x18] 0x1052c6f00 <+92>: str x19, [sp] 0x1052c6f04 <+96>: adrp x0, 63 0x1052c6f08 <+100>: add x0, x0, #0xa11 ; "%s" 0x1052c6f0c <+104>: bl 0x1052f9ef8 ; _dispatch_log 0x1052c6f10 <+108>: adrp x8, 95 0x1052c6f14 <+112>: str x19, [x8, #0x1f0] -> 0x1052c6f18 <+116>: brk #0x1 The app still crashes when I comment this code, and all Core Data related warnings.

I have the following code running on macOS and iOS: CKQuerySubscription *zsub = [[CKQuerySubscription alloc] initWithRecordType:ESS_CLOUDCONTROLLER_RECORDTYPE_PUSHNOTE predicate:[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"TRUEPREDICATE"] subscriptionID:@"pushZSub" options:CKQuerySubscriptionOptionsFiresOnRecordUpdate|CKQuerySubscriptionOptionsFiresOnRecordCreation|CKQuerySubscriptionOptionsFiresOnRecordDeletion]; zsub.zoneID = zid; CKNotificationInfo *inf = [[CKNotificationInfo alloc] init]; inf.shouldSendContentAvailable = YES; inf.desiredKeys = @[ESS_PN_RECORDFIELD_KEY_OVERALLDATE]; zsub.notificationInfo = inf; CKModifySubscriptionsOperation *msop = [[CKModifySubscriptionsOperation alloc] initWithSubscriptionsToSave:@[zsub] subscriptionIDsToDelete:nil]; msop.qualityOfService = NSQualityOfServiceUserInitiated; msop.modifySubscriptionsCompletionBlock = ^(NSArray<CKSubscription *> * _Nullable savedSubscriptions, NSArray<CKSubscriptionID> * _Nullable deletedSubscriptionIDs, NSError * _Nullable operationError) { dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{ if (savedSubscriptions.count == 1) { //works also when already created. compH(YES, nil); } else { compH(NO, nil); } }); }; [self.database addOperation:msop]; (code synopsis: after i create a custom zone (not shown in code), I add a ckquerysubscription to it for a specific record type, configured as a silent notification) When I change the according record in my Mac app, I get an immediate silent push on iOS. On macOS, however, after I change the record in my iOS app, I don't get one. Sometimes, one silent push makes it through every now and then a minute+ late or so, and after that, it's going missing again. What's the deal? Everything's set up correctly (com.apple.developer.aps-environment is set, container-identifiers are the same, icloud services are the same, ubiquity-kvstore-identifier are the same). I obviously register for remote notifications in both apps. I see all the records and subscriptions and zones in both the Mac and iOS app. I tried setting alertBody to an empty string, or soundName to an empty string, or both to an empty string: no difference I tried having different subscriptions for my Mac and iOS app, since they use different bundle ids, but that was merged into one subscription server-side, so I'm thinking that's not it I tried making it not-silent by setting contentAvailable to NO and adding a full alertBody, title and subtitle. Again, worked on iOS, not on macOS. This has been going on since macOS 14 Sonoma (when I first got reports of this. Now running on macOS 26.3). Before Sonoma, it worked just fine. Now I thought perhaps it's because I had a subscription on the default zone, and not a custom one, so I tried subscribing to changes on a record in a custom zone (see code above), but that did not change anything either. It's all working fine, only the push notifications are not making it through to the Mac app. If I sudo killall apsd (kill the push service daemon), the last push notification suddenly miraculously makes it through, by the way. At this point, I'm out of ideas and would very much appreciate pointers as to how to debug this. Polling every 30 seconds for changes is so 1990s. Speaking of which, this is a rather long-time-running app (started in 2011). Could my CloudKit database be “too old” or “corrupted” or whatever? Thank you kindly, – Matthias
