A crash occurs when fetching history when Model has preserveValueOnDeletion attribute and using inheritance
Hello, In our app, we’ve modeled our schema using inheritance introduced in iOS 26.0, and we’re implementing SwiftData History to re-fetch models only when necessary. @Model public class Transaction { @Attribute(.preserveValueOnDeletion) public var date: Date = Date() public var amount: Double = 0 public var memo: String? } @Model public final class Spending: Transaction { public var installmentIndex: Int = 1 public var installment: Int = 1 public var installmentID: UUID? } If data has been deleted from database, we need to check a date property to determine whether to re-fetch datas. To do this, we added the preserveValueOnDeletion attribute to date property so we could retrieve it from the History tombstone value. However, after adding this attribute, a crash occurs. There is a console log Could not cast value of type 'Swift.ReferenceWritableKeyPath<Shared.ModelSchemaV5.Transaction, Foundation.Date>' (0x106bf8328) to 'Swift.PartialKeyPath<Shared.ModelSchemaV5.Spending>' (0x1094f21d8). and error log attached StrictMoneyChecking-2025-11-07-105108.txt I also tried this in the recent SampleTrip app, and fetching all history after a deletion causes the same crash. Is this issue currently being worked on or under investigation?

Xcode 26.1 / OS 26.1 regression with schema and macros
After Xcode 26.1 was updated and installing the OS 26.1 simulators, my app started crashing related to transformable properties. When I checked my schema, I noticed that properties with array collection types are suddenly set with an option transformable with Optional("NSSecureUnarchiveFromData")], even though I do not use any transformable types. I verified the macros, no transformable was specified. This is causing ModelCoders to encode/decode my properties incorrectly. This is not an issue when I switch back to OS 26.0 simulators.

Is that possible to update ModelContainer?
Here is what I thought I want to give each user a unique container, when the user login or register, the user could isolate their data in specific container. I shared the container in a singleton actor, I found it's possible to update the container in that actor. But I think it won't affect the modelContext which is in the Environment. Does SwiftData allow me or recommend to do that?

iOS 26.1 and SwiftData: Can't reuse store?
I have one target building and filling the SwiftData store and then copying the same store file to another target of the app to use the contents. That worked fine from iOS 17 to iOS 26.0.1 Under iOS 26.1 I am getting following error: CoreData: error: This store file was previously used on a build with Persistence-1522 but is now running on a build with Persistence-1518. file:///Users/xxx/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/0FE92EA2-57FA-4A5E-ABD0-DAB4DABC3E02/data/Containers/Data/Application/B44D3256-9B09-4A60-94E2-C5F11A6519E7/Documents/default.store What does it mean and how to get back to working app under iOS 26.1?

SwiftData not loading under iOS 26.1
Updated the phone to iOS 26.1 and now the app is not working anymore, even previously approved version published on App Store which works perfectly on iOS 26.0.1, and iOS 18+. I deleted the app from the phone and installed fresh from App Store, still the same. Logic is that on start app copies previously prepared SwiftData store file (using the same models) from app bundle to Documents directory and uses it. Currently app just hungs with loader spinner spinning as it can t connect to the store. Getting this error in console when running from Xcode on real device with iOS 26.1 installed: CoreData: error: CoreData: error: Store failed to load. <NSPersistentStoreDescription: 0x10c599e90> (type: SQLite, url: file:///var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/DA32188D-8887-48F7-B828-1F676C8FBEF8/Documents/default.store) with error = Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=134140 "Persistent store migration failed, missing mapping model."

SwiftData and CloudKit Issues
Hi, I'm using SwiftData in my app, and I want to sent data to iCloud with CloudKit, but I found that If the user turns off my App iCloud sync function in the settings App, the local data will also be deleted. A better way is maintaining the local data, just don't connect to iCloud.How should I do that? I need guidance!!! I'm just getting started with CloudKit And I would be appreciated!

SwiftData Migration: Objects Created in Custom Migration Aren't Persisted or Queryable (Repost)
I'm experiencing a critical issue with SwiftData custom migrations where objects created during migration appear to be inserted successfully but aren't persisted or found by queries after migration completes. The migration logs show objects being created, but subsequent queries return zero results. I'm migrating from schema version V2 to V2_5, which involves: Renaming Person class to GroupData Keeping the same data structure but changing the class name while keeping the old class. Using a custom migration stage to copy data from old to new schema Below is an extract of my two schema and migration plan: Environment: Xcode 16.0, iOS 18.0, Swift 6.0 SchemaV2 enum LinkMapV2: VersionedSchema { static let versionIdentifier: Schema.Version = .init(2, 0, 0) static var models: [any PersistentModel.Type] { [AnnotationData.self, Person.self, History.self] } @Model final class Person { @Attribute(.unique) var id: UUID var name: String var photo: String var requirement: String var statue: Bool var annotationId: UUID? var number: Int = 0 init(id: UUID = UUID(), name: String = "", photo: String = "", requirement: String = "", status: Bool = false, annotationId: UUID? = nil, number: Int = 0) { self.id = id self.name = name self.photo = photo self.requirement = requirement self.statue = status self.annotationId = annotationId self.number = number } } } Schema V2_5 static let versionIdentifier: Schema.Version = .init(2, 5, 0) static var models: [any PersistentModel.Type] { [AnnotationData.self, Person.self, GroupData.self, History.self] } // Keep the old Person model for migration @Model final class Person { @Attribute(.unique) var id: UUID var name: String var photo: String var requirement: String var statue: Bool var annotationId: UUID? var number: Int = 0 init(id: UUID = UUID(), name: String = "", photo: String = "", requirement: String = "", status: Bool = false, annotationId: UUID? = nil, number: Int = 0) { self.id = id self.name = name self.photo = photo self.requirement = requirement self.statue = status self.annotationId = annotationId self.number = number } } // Add the new GroupData model that mirrors Person @Model final class GroupData { @Attribute(.unique) var id: UUID var name: String var photo: String var requirement: String var status: Bool var annotationId: UUID? var number: Int = 0 init(id: UUID = UUID(), name: String = "", photo: String = "", requirement: String = "", status: Bool = false, annotationId: UUID? = nil, number: Int = 0) { self.id = id self.name = name self.photo = photo self.requirement = requirement self.status = status self.annotationId = annotationId self.number = number } } } Migration Plan static let migrationV2toV2_5 = MigrationStage.custom( fromVersion: LinkMapV2.self, toVersion: LinkMapV2_5.self, willMigrate: { context in do { let persons = try context.fetch(FetchDescriptor<LinkMapV2.Person>()) print("=== MIGRATION STARTED ===") print("Found \(persons.count) Person objects to migrate") guard !persons.isEmpty else { print("No Person data requires migration") return } for person in persons { print("Migrating Person: '\(person.name)' with ID: \(person.id)") let newGroup = LinkMapV2_5.GroupData( id: person.id, // Keep the same ID name: person.name, photo: person.photo, requirement: person.requirement, status: person.statue, annotationId: person.annotationId, number: person.number ) context.insert(newGroup) print("Inserted new GroupData: '\(newGroup.name)'") // Don't delete the old Person yet to avoid issues // context.delete(person) } try context.save() print("=== MIGRATION COMPLETED ===") print("Successfully migrated \(persons.count) Person objects to GroupData") } catch { print("=== MIGRATION ERROR ===") print("Migration failed with error: \(error)") } }, didMigrate: { context in do { // Verify migration in didMigrate phase let groups = try context.fetch(FetchDescriptor<LinkMapV2_5.GroupData>()) let oldPersons = try context.fetch(FetchDescriptor<LinkMapV2_5.Person>()) print("=== MIGRATION VERIFICATION ===") print("New GroupData count: \(groups.count)") print("Remaining Person count: \(oldPersons.count)") // Now delete the old Person objects for person in oldPersons { context.delete(person) } if !oldPersons.isEmpty { try context.save() print("Cleaned up \(oldPersons.count) old Person objects") } // Print all migrated groups for debugging for group in groups { print("Migrated Group: '\(group.name)', Status: \(group.status), Number: \(group.number)") } } catch { print("Migration verification error: \(error)") } } ) And I've attached console output below: Console Output

AppMigrationKit future plans
In the future, is there any plans to have AppMigrationKit for macOS-Windows cross transfers (or Linux, ChromeOS, HarmonyOS NEXT, etc)? Additionally, will the migration framework remain just iOS <-> Android or will it extend to Windows tablets, ChromeOS Tablets, HarmonyOS NEXT, KaiOS, Series 30+, Linux mobile, etc.

SwiftData Migration: Objects Created in Custom Migration Aren't Persisted or Queryable
Description: I'm experiencing a critical issue with SwiftData custom migrations where objects created during migration appear to be inserted successfully but aren't persisted or found by queries after migration completes. The migration logs show objects being created, but subsequent queries return zero results. Problem Details: I'm migrating from schema version V2 to V3, which involves: Renaming Person class to GroupData Keeping the same data structure but changing the class name Using a custom migration stage to copy data from old to new schema Migration Code: swift static let migrationV2toV3 = MigrationStage.custom( fromVersion: LinkMapV2.self, toVersion: LinkMapV3.self, willMigrate: { context in do { let persons = try context.fetch(FetchDescriptor<LinkMapV2.Person>()) print("Found (persons.count) Person objects to migrate") // ✅ Shows 11 objects for person in persons { let newGroup = LinkMapV3.GroupData( id: person.id, // Same UUID name: person.name, // ... other properties ) context.insert(newGroup) print("Inserted GroupData: '\(newGroup.name)'") // ✅ Confirms insertion } try context.save() // ✅ No error thrown print("Successfully migrated \(persons.count) objects") // ✅ Confirms save } catch { print("Migration error: \(error)") } }, didMigrate: { context in do { let groups = try context.fetch(FetchDescriptor<LinkMapV3.GroupData>()) print("Final GroupData count: \(groups.count)") // ❌ Shows 0 objects! } catch { print("Verification error: \(error)") } } ) Console Output: text === MIGRATION STARTED === Found 11 Person objects to migrate Migrating Person: 'Riverside of pipewall' with ID: 7A08C633-4467-4F52-AF0B-579545BA88D0 Inserted new GroupData: 'Riverside of pipewall' ... (all 11 objects processed) ... === MIGRATION COMPLETED === Successfully migrated 11 Person objects to GroupData === MIGRATION VERIFICATION === New GroupData count: 0 // ❌ PROBLEM: No objects found! What I've Tried: Multiple context approaches: Using the provided migration context Creating a new background context with ModelContext(context.container) Using context.performAndWait for thread safety Different save strategies: Calling try context.save() after insertions Letting SwiftData handle saving automatically Multiple save calls at different points Verification methods: Checking in didMigrate closure Checking in app's ContentView after migration completes Using both @Query and manual FetchDescriptor Schema variations: Direct V2→V3 migration Intermediate V2.5 schema with both classes Lightweight migration with @Attribute(originalName:) Current Behavior: Migration runs without errors Objects appear to be inserted successfully context.save() completes without throwing errors But queries in didMigrate and post-migration return empty results The objects seem to exist in a temporary state that doesn't persist Expected Behavior: Objects created during migration should be persisted and queryable Post-migration queries should return the migrated objects Data should be available in the main app after migration completes Environment: Xcode 16.0+ iOS 18.0+ SwiftData Swift 6.0+ Key Questions: Is there a specific way migration contexts should be handled for data to persist? Are there known issues with object persistence in custom migrations? Should we be using a different approach for class renaming migrations? Is there a way to verify that objects are actually being written to the persistent store? The migration appears to work perfectly until the verification step, where all created objects seem to vanish. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Additional Context from my investigation: I've noticed these warning messages during migration that might be relevant: text SwiftData.ModelContext: Unbinding from the main queue. This context was instantiated on the main queue but is being used off it. error: Persistent History (76) has to be truncated due to the following entities being removed: (Person) This suggests there might be threading or context lifecycle issues affecting persistence. Let me know if you need any additional information about my setup or migration configuration!

SwiftData: Crash when deleting from model, but only in prod
I'm testing my app before releasing to testers, and my app (both macOS and iOS) is crashing when I perform one operation, but only in the production build. I have data that loads from a remote source, and can be periodically updated. There is an option to delete all of that data from the iCloud data store, unless the user has modified a record. Each table has a flag to indicate that (userEdited). Here's the function that is crashing: func deleteCommonData<T:PersistentModel & SDBuddyModel>(_ type: T.Type) throws { try modelContext.delete(model: T.self, where: #Predicate<T> { !$0.userEdited }) } Here's one of the calls that results in a crash: try modelManager.deleteCommonData(Link.self) Here's the error from iOS Console: SwiftData/DataUtilities.swift:85: Fatal error: Couldn't find \Link.<computed 0x0000000104b9d208 (Bool)> on Link with fields [SwiftData.Schema.PropertyMetadata(name: "id", keypath: \Link.<computed 0x0000000104b09b44 (String)>, defaultValue: Optional("54EC6602-CA7C-4EC7-AC06-16E7F2E22DE7"), metadata: nil), SwiftData.Schema.PropertyMetadata(name: "name", keypath: \Link.<computed 0x0000000104b09b84 (String)>, defaultValue: Optional(""), metadata: nil), SwiftData.Schema.PropertyMetadata(name: "url", keypath: \Link.<computed 0x0000000104b09bc4 (String)>, defaultValue: Optional(""), metadata: nil), SwiftData.Schema.PropertyMetadata(name: "desc", keypath: \Link.<computed 0x0000000104b09c04 (String)>, defaultValue: Optional(""), metadata: nil), SwiftData.Schema.PropertyMetadata(name: "userEdited", keypath: \Link.<computed 0x0000000104b09664 (Bool)>, defaultValue: Optional(false), metadata: nil), SwiftData.Schema.PropertyMetadata(name: "modified", keypath: \Link.<computed 0x0000000104b09c44 (Date)>, defaultVal<…> Here's a fragment of the crash log: Exception Type: EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP) Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000001, 0x000000019373222c Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 5, Trace/BPT trap: 5 Terminating Process: exc handler [80543] Thread 0 Crashed: 0 libswiftCore.dylib 0x19373222c _assertionFailure(_:_:file:line:flags:) + 176 1 SwiftData 0x22a222160 0x22a1ad000 + 479584 2 SwiftData 0x22a2709c0 0x22a1ad000 + 801216 3 SwiftData 0x22a221b08 0x22a1ad000 + 477960 4 SwiftData 0x22a27b0ec 0x22a1ad000 + 844012 5 SwiftData 0x22a27b084 0x22a1ad000 + 843908 6 SwiftData 0x22a28182c 0x22a1ad000 + 870444 7 SwiftData 0x22a2809e8 0x22a1ad000 + 866792 8 SwiftData 0x22a285204 0x22a1ad000 + 885252 9 SwiftData 0x22a281c7c 0x22a1ad000 + 871548 10 SwiftData 0x22a27cf6c 0x22a1ad000 + 851820 11 SwiftData 0x22a27cc48 0x22a1ad000 + 851016 12 SwiftData 0x22a27a6b0 0x22a1ad000 + 841392 13 SwiftData 0x22a285b2c 0x22a1ad000 + 887596 14 SwiftData 0x22a285a10 0x22a1ad000 + 887312 15 SwiftData 0x22a285bcc 0x22a1ad000 + 887756 16 SwiftData 0x22a27cf6c 0x22a1ad000 + 851820 17 SwiftData 0x22a27cc48 0x22a1ad000 + 851016 18 SwiftData 0x22a27a6b0 0x22a1ad000 + 841392 19 SwiftData 0x22a27c0d8 0x22a1ad000 + 848088 20 SwiftData 0x22a27a654 0x22a1ad000 + 841300 21 SwiftData 0x22a1be548 0x22a1ad000 + 70984 22 SwiftData 0x22a1cfd64 0x22a1ad000 + 142692 23 SwiftData 0x22a1b9618 0x22a1ad000 + 50712 24 SwiftData 0x22a1d2e8c 0x22a1ad000 + 155276 25 CoreData 0x187fbb568 thunk for @callee_guaranteed () -> (@out A, @error @owned Error) + 28 26 CoreData 0x187fc2300 partial apply for thunk for @callee_guaranteed () -> (@out A, @error @owned Error) + 24 27 CoreData 0x187fc19c4 closure #1 in closure #1 in NSManagedObjectContext._rethrowsHelper_performAndWait<A>(fn:execute:rescue:) + 192 28 CoreData 0x187fbbda8 thunk for @callee_guaranteed @Sendable () -> () + 28 29 CoreData 0x187fbbdd0 thunk for @escaping @callee_guaranteed @Sendable () -> () + 28 30 CoreData 0x187f663fc developerSubmittedBlockToNSManagedObjectContextPerform + 252 31 libdispatch.dylib 0x180336ac4 _dispatch_client_callout + 16 32 libdispatch.dylib 0x18032c940 _dispatch_lane_barrier_sync_invoke_and_complete + 56 33 CoreData 0x187fd7290 -[NSManagedObjectContext performBlockAndWait:] + 364 34 CoreData 0x187fc1fb8 NSManagedObjectContext.performAndWait<A>(_:) + 544 35 SwiftData 0x22a1b877c 0x22a1ad000 + 46972 36 SwiftData 0x22a1be2a8 0x22a1ad000 + 70312 37 SwiftData 0x22a1c0e34 0x22a1ad000 + 81460 38 SwiftData 0x22a23ea94 0x22a1ad000 + 596628 39 SwiftData 0x22a256828 0x22a1ad000 + 694312 40 Sourdough Buddy 0x104e5dc98 specialized ModelManager.deleteCommonData<A>(_:) + 144 (ModelManager.swift:128) [inlined] 41 Sourdough Buddy 0x104e5dc98 closure #1 in SettingsView.clearStarterData.getter + 876 (SettingsView.swift:243) It works if I do the following instead: try modelContext.delete(model: Link.self, where: #Predicate { !$0.userEdited }) Why would the func call work in development, but crash in production? And why does doing the more verbose way work instead? I think this is a bug. Thanks

I want to make sure to make my app’s data persist across devices, updates, and reinstalls, you need to store it in the cloud.
i want to save data like images, text,amd mapviews with swiftui. It is only saved but if you delete the app of buy a new iPhone everything is deleted, how can I make if that the information saved on my app is saved even after I update the app, delete the app, or put the app in another iPhone with SwiftUI? i have watched youtube videos and im still confused,please help.

Correct SwiftData Concurrency Logic for UI and Extensions
Hi everyone, I'm looking for the correct architectural guidance for my SwiftData implementation. In my Swift project, I have dedicated async functions for adding, editing, and deleting each of my four models. I created these functions specifically to run certain logic whenever these operations occur. Since these functions are asynchronous, I call them from the UI (e.g., from a button press) by wrapping them in a Task. I've gone through three different approaches and am now stuck. Approach 1: @MainActor Functions Initially, my functions were marked with @MainActor and worked on the main ModelContext. This worked perfectly until I added support for App Intents and Widgets, which caused the app to crash with data race errors. Approach 2: Passing ModelContext as a Parameter To solve the crashes, I decided to have each function receive a ModelContext as a parameter. My SwiftUI views passed the main context (which they get from @Environment(\.modelContext)), while the App Intents and Widgets created and passed in their own private context. However, this approach still caused the app to crash sometimes due to data race errors, especially during actions triggered from the main UI. Approach 3: Creating a New Context in Each Function I moved to a third approach where each function creates its own ModelContext to work on. This has successfully stopped all crashes. However, now the UI actions don't always react or update. For example, when an object is added, deleted, or edited, the change isn't reflected in the UI. I suspect this is because the main context (driving the UI) hasn't been updated yet, or because the async function hasn't finished its work. My Question I'm not sure what to do or what the correct logic should be. How should I structure my data operations to support the main UI, Widgets, and App Intents without causing crashes or UI update failures? Here is the relevant code using my third (and current) approach. I've shortened the helper functions for brevity. // MARK: - SwiftData Operations extension DatabaseManager { /// Creates a new assignment and saves it to the database. public func createAssignment( name: String, deadline: Date, notes: AttributedString, forCourseID courseID: UUID, /*...other params...*/ ) async throws -> AssignmentModel { do { let context = ModelContext(container) guard let course = findCourse(byID: courseID, in: context) else { throw DatabaseManagerError.itemNotFound } let newAssignment = AssignmentModel( name: name, deadline: deadline, notes: notes, course: course, /*...other properties...*/ ) context.insert(newAssignment) try context.save() // Schedule notifications and add to calendar _ = try? await scheduleReminder(for: newAssignment) newAssignment.calendarEventIDs = await CalendarManager.shared.addEventToCalendar(for: newAssignment) try context.save() await MainActor.run { WidgetCenter.shared.reloadTimelines(ofKind: "AppWidget") } return newAssignment } catch { throw DatabaseManagerError.saveFailed } } /// Finds a specific course by its ID in a given context. public func findCourse(byID id: UUID, in context: ModelContext) -> CourseModel? { let predicate = #Predicate<CourseModel> { $0.id == id } let fetchDescriptor = FetchDescriptor<CourseModel>(predicate: predicate) return try? context.fetch(fetchDescriptor).first } } // MARK: - Helper Functions (Implementations omitted for brevity) /// Schedules a local user notification for an event. func scheduleReminder(for assignment: AssignmentModel) async throws -> String { // ... Full implementation to create and schedule a UNNotificationRequest return UUID().uuidString } /// Creates a new event in the user's selected calendars. extension CalendarManager { func addEventToCalendar(for assignment: AssignmentModel) async -> [String] { // ... Full implementation to create and save an EKEvent return [UUID().uuidString] } } Thank you for your help.

SwiftData and CloudKit not synching between devices
Hi, Not sure how to describe my issue best: I am using SwiftData and CloudKit to store my data. In the past, when I tested my app on different devices, the data would sync between the devices automatically. For whatever reason this has stopped now and the data no longer syncs. No matter what I do, it feels as if all the data is actually stored just locally on each device. How can I check if the data is actually stored in the cloud and what could be reasons, why its no longer synching between my devices (and yes, I am logged in with the same Apple ID on all devices). Thanks for any hint! Max

SwiftData: Unexpected backing data for snapshot creation
When deleting a SwiftData entity, I sometimes encounter the following error in a document based SwiftUI app: Fatal error: Unexpected backing data for snapshot creation: SwiftData._FullFutureBackingData<MyEntityClass> The deletion happens in a SwiftUI View and the code used to retrieve the entity is standard (the ModelContext is injected from the @Environment): let myEntity = modelContext.model(for: entityIdToDelete) modelContext.delete(myEntity) Unfortunately, I haven't yet managed to isolate this any further in order to come up with a reproducible PoC. Could you give me further information about what this error means?

Increase Background Asset Limitations
Hello, From the documentation linked below, the limitations for Background Assets are the following: Size Limit: 200 GB Asset Pack Count: 100 I'm expecting I will need ~175 Asset Packs and around 500GB of storage. I understand Background Assets is a new, but is there a process or a potential that these limits will be increased in the future? Or is there a way to request an increase? I've tried contacting Apple Support as this is more of an Admin issue, however they've directed me here. Case ID 102725356578 https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/reference/apple-hosted-asset-pack-size-limits Thank you, Tanner

NSFileVersion.currentVersionOfItem not consistent across devices after simultaneous edit
I’m building an app that edits files in iCloud and uses an NSFilePresenter to monitor changes. When a conflict occurs, the system calls presentedItemDidGain(_:). In that method, I merge the versions by reading the current (canonical) version using NSFileVersion.currentVersionOfItem(at:) and the conflicting ones using NSFileVersion.unresolvedConflictVersionsOfItem(at:). This generally works, but sometimes, if two devices edit the same file at the same time, each device sees its own local version as the current one. For example: Device A writes fileVerA (slightly later in real time) Device B writes fileVerB On Device A all works fine, currentVersionOfItem returns fileVerA, as expected, and unresolvedConflictVersionsOfItem returns [fileVerB]. But on Device B, currentVersionOfItem returns fileVerB!? And unresolvedConflictVersionsOfItem returns the same, local file [fileVerB], without any hint of the other conflicting version, fileVerA. Later, the newer version from the Device A arrives on Device B as a normal, non-conflicting update via presentedItemDidChange(_:). This seems to contradict Apple’s documentation: “The currentVersionOfItemAtURL: method returns an NSFileVersion object representing what’s referred to as the current file; the current file is chosen by iCloud on some basis as the current “conflict winner” and is the same across all devices.” Is this expected behavior, or a bug in how iCloud reports file versions?

Core Data: Main actor-isolated property can not be mutated from a Sendable closure
I'm running a project with these settings: Default Actor Isolation: MainActor Approachable Concurrency: Yes Strict Concurrency Checking: Complete (this issue does not appear on the other two modes) I receive a warning for this very simple use case. Can I actually fix anything about this or is this a case of Core Data not being entirely ready for this? In reference to this, there was a workaround listed in the release notes of iOS 26 beta 5 (https://forums.swift.org/t/defaultisolation-mainactor-and-core-data-background-tasks/80569/22). Does this still apply as the only fix for this? This is a simplified sample meant to run on a background context. The issue obviously goes away if this function would just run on the MainActor, then I can remove the perform block entirely. class DataHandler { func createItem() async { let context = ... await context.perform { let newGame = Item(context: context) /// Main actor-isolated property 'timestamp' can not be mutated from a Sendable closure newGame.timestamp = Date.now // ... } } } The complete use case would be more like this: nonisolated struct DataHandler { @concurrent func saveItem() async throws { let context = await PersistenceController.shared.container.newBackgroundContext() try await context.perform { let newGame = Item(context: context) newGame.timestamp = Date.now try context.save() } } }
