Hi everyone,
I have an application that allows to share Core Data records through CKShare.
If I compile the app in debug or release mode on my devices with Xcode the Sharing functionality work like a charm, but if I download the application from App Store doesn't work, It seems that can't generate the link for sharing.
Does anyone have any idea why?
Thanks

Здравствуйте, я зашел на чужой Apple ID под предлогом мошенников и теперь не могу выйти, помогите мне пожалуйста, это полностью мой телефон и я смогу доказать, что он мой.
Something has caused my CloudKit queries to fail. On the dashboard I get an error message "Failed to execute query" when I try to "SORT BY" a field. The field is listed under Indexes as "sortable". For a different field, when I enter the field under "FILTER BY", and before I tap "Query", I get "No results". That field is listed under the Indexes as "queryable".
It used to work fine.
I have described this further, with screenshots at FB16114560
Hello the documentation for message filtering has been offline for a few days now, is it possible to get it back, or is there somewhere else it can be viewed in the meanwhile?

Hi,
I'm building a habit tracking app for iOS and macOS. I want to use up to date technologies, so I'm using SwiftUI and SwiftData.
I want to store user data locally on device and also sync data between device and iCloud server so that the user could use the app conveniently on multiple devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac).
I already tried SwiftData + NSPersistentCloudKitContainer, but I need to control when to sync data, which I can't control with NSPersistentCloudKitContainer. For example, I want to upload data to server right after data is saved locally and download data from server on every app open, on pull-to-refresh etc. I also need to monitor sync progress, so I can update the UI and run code based on the progress. For example, when downloading data from server to device is in progress, show "Loading..." UI, and when downloading finishes, I want to run some app business logic code and update UI.
So I'm considering switching from NSPersistentCloudKitContainer to CKSyncEngine, because it seems that with CKSyncEngine I can control when to upload and download data and also monitor the progress.
My database schema (image below) has relationships - "1 to many" and "many to many" - so it's convenient to use SwiftData (and underlying CoreData).
Development environment: Xcode 16.1, macOS 15.1.1
Run-time configuration: iOS 18.1.1, macOS 15.1.1
My questions:
1-Is it possible to use SwiftData for local data storage and CKSyncEngine to sync this local data storage with iCloud?
2-If yes, is there any example code to implement this?
I've been studying the "CloudKit Samples: CKSyncEngine" demo app (https://github.com/apple/sample-cloudkit-sync-engine), but it uses a very primitive approach to local data storage by saving data to a JSON file on disk.
It would be very helpful to have the same demo app with SwiftData implementation!
3-Also, to make sure I don't run into problems later - is it okay to fire data upload (sendChanges) and download (fetchChanges) manually with CKSyncEngine and do it often? Are there any limits how often these functions can be called to not get "blocked" by the server?
4-If it's not possible to use SwiftData for local data storage and CKSyncEngine to sync this local data storage with iCloud, then what to use for local storage instead of SwiftData to sync it with iCloud using CKSyncEngine? Maybe use SwiftData with the new DataStore protocol instead of the underlying CoreData?
All information highly appreciated!
Thanks,
Martin

I am trying to implement record sharing in my project, but when I try to copy the link on the UICloudSharingController, the sheet closes and the link doesn't get copied.
My CloudKitManager function:
public func shareTeam(_ team: Team) -> AnyPublisher<CKShare, Error> {
Future { [weak self] promise in
guard let self = self else {
promise(.failure(CloudKitError.unknown))
return
}
let record = team.toCKRecord()
let share = CKShare(rootRecord: record)
share[CKShare.SystemFieldKey.title] = "Join \(team.name)" as CKRecordValue
share.publicPermission = .readWrite
let operation = CKModifyRecordsOperation(recordsToSave: [record, share], recordIDsToDelete: nil)
operation.savePolicy = .ifServerRecordUnchanged
operation.qualityOfService = .userInitiated
operation.modifyRecordsResultBlock = { result in
switch result {
case .success:
promise(.success(share))
case .failure(let error):
promise(.failure(error))
}
}
self.privateDatabase.add(operation)
}
.eraseToAnyPublisher()
}
ViewModel function:
func shareTeam() {
guard let selectedTeam = selectedTeam else { return }
CloudKitManager.shared.shareTeam(selectedTeam)
.receive(on: DispatchQueue.main)
.sink { [weak self] completion in
switch completion {
case .finished:
break
case .failure(let error):
self?.didError = true
self?.error = error
}
} receiveValue: { share in
let sharePresenter = SharePresenter(
share: share,
container: CloudKitManager.shared.container,
teamName: selectedTeam.name,
rootRecord: selectedTeam.toCKRecord()
)
sharePresenter.presentShareSheet()
}
.store(in: &cancellables)
}
throughout all of Foundation's URL documentation, its called out in multiple places that data stored inside an app sandox's caches directory doesn't count towards data and documents usage in the settings app
but in practice, it looks like storing data there does in fact count towards documents & data for the app
i'm trying to understand if the docs are wrong, if theres a bug in the settings app, or if this is a mistake on my part
is there a way to fix this?

Is it ok to have latency about 4 sec? The amount of downloaded data is less than 1 MB. Maybe I need to setup an index for every field requested?
When attempting to deploy schema changes in the iCloudKit Database by clicking the Deploy Schema Changes button, a Confirm Deployment dialog appears, showing an error: “Internal error”. The following error details were observed in the JavaScript console:

I'm using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer and in the CloudKit dashboards I have added indexes for all my records modifiedTimestamp queryable, modifiedTimestamp sortable and recordName queryable.
But I'm still getting this warning message in the console.

I'm getting a crash in SwiftData but only on one specific device (iPhone 16 pro running 18.2 22C5131e) and not on an ipad or simulator
I cant troubleshoot this crash and its quite frustrating, all I am getting is

ForEach(todos.filter { !$0.completed }) { item in // <---crash
TodoListView()
}
and the error is

An abort signal terminated the process. Such crashes often happen because of an uncaught exception or unrecoverable error or calling the abort() function.

Hi everyone,
I am a beginner in iOS/Swift programming. I'm trying to develop a mobile application that allows to mount a network drive in the iphone Files application via the WebDav protocol.
I saw on the internet that WebDav is no longer implemented in iOS because considered deprecated by apple.
To accomplish this task, I decided to separate responsibilities as follows:
Framework:
WebDav (responsible for communication with the WebDav server)
FileProviderExtension:
FileBridge (Responsible for bridging the gap between the WebDav Framework and the iOS Files app)
Main App
I also have an AppGroup that includes the main application and the fileproviderextension
Initially, to measure the feasibility and complexity of this task, I'd like to make a simplistic version that simply displays the files on my drive in the Files app, without necessarily being able to interact with them.
FileProviderExtension.swift:
import FileProvider
import WebDav
class FileProviderExtension: NSObject, NSFileProviderReplicatedExtension {
private var webDavService: WebDavService?
required init(domain: NSFileProviderDomain)
{
super.init()
self.webDavService = WebDavService(baseURL: URL(string: "https://www.mydrive.com/drive")!)
}
func invalidate() {
// TODO: cleanup any resources
}
func item(for identifier: NSFileProviderItemIdentifier,
request: NSFileProviderRequest,
completionHandler: @escaping (NSFileProviderItem?, Error?) -> Void) -> Progress {
let progress = Progress(totalUnitCount: 1)
Task {
do {
if let items = try await webDavService?.propfind(path: identifier.rawValue, depth: 1),
let item = items.first(where: { $0.itemIdentifier == identifier }) {
completionHandler(item, nil)
} else {
completionHandler(nil, NSError(domain: NSCocoaErrorDomain,
code: NSFileNoSuchFileError,
userInfo: nil))
}
} catch {
completionHandler(nil, error)
}
}
return progress
}
func fetchContents(for itemIdentifier: NSFileProviderItemIdentifier,
version requestedVersion: NSFileProviderItemVersion?,
request: NSFileProviderRequest,
completionHandler: @escaping (URL?, NSFileProviderItem?, Error?) -> Void) -> Progress {
let progress = Progress(totalUnitCount: 1)
Task {
do {
guard let service = webDavService else {
throw WebDavError.invalidResponse
}
let data = try await service.get(fileAt: itemIdentifier.rawValue)
let tempURL = FileManager.default.temporaryDirectory.appendingPathComponent(itemIdentifier.rawValue)
try data.write(to: tempURL)
completionHandler(tempURL, nil, nil)
} catch {
completionHandler(nil, nil, error)
}
}
return progress
}
func createItem(basedOn itemTemplate: NSFileProviderItem, fields: NSFileProviderItemFields, contents url: URL?, options: NSFileProviderCreateItemOptions = [], request: NSFileProviderRequest, completionHandler: @escaping (NSFileProviderItem?, NSFileProviderItemFields, Bool, Error?) -> Void) -> Progress {
// TODO: a new item was created on disk, process the item's creation
completionHandler(itemTemplate, [], false, nil)
return Progress()
}
func modifyItem(_ item: NSFileProviderItem, baseVersion version: NSFileProviderItemVersion, changedFields: NSFileProviderItemFields, contents newContents: URL?, options: NSFileProviderModifyItemOptions = [], request: NSFileProviderRequest, completionHandler: @escaping (NSFileProviderItem?, NSFileProviderItemFields, Bool, Error?) -> Void) -> Progress {
// TODO: an item was modified on disk, process the item's modification
completionHandler(nil, [], false, NSError(domain: NSCocoaErrorDomain, code: NSFeatureUnsupportedError, userInfo:[:]))
return Progress()
}
func deleteItem(identifier: NSFileProviderItemIdentifier, baseVersion version: NSFileProviderItemVersion, options: NSFileProviderDeleteItemOptions = [], request: NSFileProviderRequest, completionHandler: @escaping (Error?) -> Void) -> Progress {
// TODO: an item was deleted on disk, process the item's deletion
completionHandler(NSError(domain: NSCocoaErrorDomain, code: NSFeatureUnsupportedError, userInfo:[:]))
return Progress()
}
func enumerator(for containerItemIdentifier: NSFileProviderItemIdentifier,
request: NSFileProviderRequest) throws -> NSFileProviderEnumerator {
return FileProviderEnumerator(enumeratedItemIdentifier: containerItemIdentifier,
service: webDavService)
}
}
Here's the code I use to initialize my domain in the main app files:
fileprivate func registerFileProviderDomain() {
let domainIdentifier = NSFileProviderDomainIdentifier("FileProviderExtension Bundle Identifier")
let domain = NSFileProviderDomain(identifier: domainIdentifier,
displayName: "My Drive")
NSFileProviderManager.add(domain) { error in
NSFileProviderManager.add(domain) { error in
if let error = error {
print("Error cannot add domain file provider : \(error.localizedDescription)")
} else {
print("Success domain file provider added")
}
}
}
I can't get rid of the Error :
Error cannot add domain file provider : The operation couldn’t be completed. Invalid argument.
I don't know what I'm missing
Please help me understand
Hello, on every Apple device, iPhone/Watch I have the option to install developer beta versions. I would like to unsubscribe from developer beta versions - not have them in settings. I know that developer beta is assigned to my iCloud account. After logging out and restoring factory settings, the tab disappears. When I log into my iCloud account, it appears everywhere. I did not sign up for developer beta. How do I remove it?

Hello,
I apologize if this post could be slightly out of forum topic but I have one issue that I cannot solve.
I tried a few times to call Apple support but the only indication that have given to me is to try with this forum.
The issue I have is simple. Sometimes the modifications performed on iCloud Drive on one computer are not properly synced between the local folder /Users/[username]/Library/Mobile Documents/... and the cloud and therefore are not shared across all devices that use the same iCloud Drive.
This is very disturbing as it may lead to a data loss.
I would like to write a simple software that activates the iCloud Drive sync between the local iCloud folder /Users/[username]/Library/Mobile Documents/... and the Cloud.
A simple macOS bash script would be fine but also other pieces of software are welcome.
Can anyone please help me?
Thanks!
Daniele

I have integrated CloudKit into a CoreData application and am ready to deploy the schema to production but keep getting an "internal error" when trying to deploy to production or reset my CloudKit environment. I have attached images of what I am seeing including one of the console error. Is there any way to resolve this?

I have a widely-used app that lets users keep track of personal data. This data is persisted with SwiftData, and synced with CloudKit.
I understand that if the user's iCloud account changes on a device (for example, user logs out or toggles off an app's access to iCloud), then NSPersistentCloudKitContainer will erase the local data records on app launch. This is intentional behavior, intended as a privacy feature.
However, we are receiving regular reports from users for whom the system has incorrectly indicated that the app's access to iCloud is unavailable, even when the user hasn't logged out or toggled off permission to access iCloud. This triggers the behavior to clear the local records, and even though the data is still available in iCloud, to the user, it looks like their data has disappeared for no reason. Helping the user find and troubleshoot their iCloud app data settings can be very difficult, since in many cases the user has no idea what iCloud is, and we can't link them directly to the correct settings screen.
We seem to get these reports most frequently from users whose iCloud storage is full (which feels like punishment for not paying for additional storage), but we've also received reports from users who have enough storage space available (and are logged in and have the app's iCloud data permissions toggled on). It appears to happen randomly, as far as we can tell.
I found a blog post from two years ago from another app developer who encountered the same issue: https://crunchybagel.com/nspersistentcloudkitcontainer/#:~:text=The%20problem%20we%20were%20experiencing
To work around this and improve the user experience, we want to use CKContainer.accountStatus to check if the user has an available iCloud account, and if not, disable the CloudKit sync before it erases the local data.
I've found steps to accomplish this workaround using CoreData, but I'm not sure how to best modify the ModelContainer's configuration after receiving the CKAccountStatus when using SwiftData. I've put together this approach so far; is this the right way to handle disabling/enabling sync based on account status?
import SwiftUI
import SwiftData
import CloudKit
@main
struct AccountStatusTestApp: App {
@State private var modelContainer: ModelContainer?
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup {
if let modelContainer {
ContentView()
.modelContainer(modelContainer)
} else {
ProgressView("Loading...")
.task {
await initializeModelContainer()
}
}
}
}
func initializeModelContainer() async {
let schema = Schema([
Item.self,
])
do {
let accountStatus = try await CKContainer.default().accountStatus()
let modelConfiguration = ModelConfiguration(
schema: schema,
cloudKitDatabase: accountStatus == .available ? .private("iCloud.com.AccountStatusTestApp") : .none
)
do {
let container = try ModelContainer(for: schema, configurations: [modelConfiguration])
modelContainer = container
} catch {
print("Could not create ModelContainer: \(error)")
}
} catch {
print("Could not determine iCloud account status: \(error)")
}
}
}
I understand that bypassing the clearing of local data when the iCloud account is "unavailable" introduces possible issues with data being mingled on shared devices, but I plan to mitigate that with warning messages when users are in this state. This would be a far more preferable user experience than what's happening now.

Hi, I'm working on a macOS app that utilizes SwiftData to save some user generated content to their private databases.
It is not clear to me at which point the app I made starts using the production database. I assumed that if I produce a Release build that it will be using the prod db, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I made the mistake of distributing my app to users before "going to prod" with CloudKit. So after I realized what I had done, I inspected my CloudKit dashboard and records and I found the following:
For my personal developer account the data is saved in the Developer database correctly and I can inspect it.
When I use the "Act as iCloud account" feature and use one of my other accounts to inspect the data, I notice that for the other user, the data is neither in the Development environment nor the Production environment. Which leads me to believe it is only stored locally on that user's machine, since the app does in fact work, it's just not syncing with other devices of the same user.
So, my question is: how do I "deploy to production"?
I know that there is a Deploy Schema Changes button in the CloudKit dashboard. At which point should I press that? If I press it now, before distributing a new version of my app, will that somehow "signal" the already running apps on user's machines to start using the Production database?
Is there a setting in Xcode that I need to check for my Release build, so that the app does in fact start using the production db?
Is there a way to detect in the code whether the app is using the Production database or not? It would be useful so I can write appropriate migration logic, since I don't want to loose existing data users already have saved locally.
