ModelActors not persisting relationships in iOS 18 beta
I've already submitted this as a bug report to Apple, but I am posting here so others can save themselves some troubleshooting. This is submitted as FB14337982 with an attached complete Xcode project to replicate. In iOS 17 we use a ModelActor to download data which is saved as an Event, and then save it to SwiftData with a relationship to a Location. In iOS 18 22A5307d we are seeing that this code no longer persists the relationship to the Location, but still saves the Event. If we put a breakpoint in that ModelActor we see that the object graph is correct within the ModelActor stack trace at the time we call modelContext.save(). However, after saving, the relationship is missing from the default.store SQLite file, and of course from the app UI. Here is a toy example showing how inserting an Employee into a Company using a ModelActor gives unexpected results in iOS 18 22A5307d but works as expected in iOS 17. It appears that no relationships data survives being saved in a ModelActor.ModelContext. Also note there seems to be a return of the old bug that saving this data in the ModelActor does not update the @Query in the UI in iOS 18 but does so in iOS 17. Models @Model final class Employee { var uuid: UUID = UUID() @Relationship(deleteRule: .nullify) public var company: Company? /// For a concise display @Transient var name: String { self.uuid.uuidString.components(separatedBy: "-").first ?? "NIL" } init(company: Company?) { self.company = company } } @Model final class Company { var uuid: UUID = UUID() @Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade, inverse: \Employee.company) public var employees: [Employee]? = [] /// For a concise display @Transient var name: String { self.uuid.uuidString.components(separatedBy: "-").first ?? "NIL" } init() { } } ModelActor import OSLog private let logger = Logger(subsystem: Bundle.main.bundleIdentifier!, category: "SimpleModelActor") @ModelActor final actor SimpleModelActor { func addEmployeeTo(CompanyWithID companyID: PersistentIdentifier?) { guard let companyID, let company: Company = self[companyID, as: Company.self] else { logger.error("Could not get a company") return } let newEmployee = Employee(company: company) modelContext.insert(newEmployee) logger.notice("Created employee \(newEmployee.name) in Company \(newEmployee.company?.name ?? "NIL")") try! modelContext.save() } } ContentView import OSLog private let logger = Logger(subsystem: Bundle.main.bundleIdentifier!, category: "View") struct ContentView: View { @Environment(\.modelContext) private var modelContext @Query private var companies: [Company] @Query private var employees: [Employee] @State private var simpleModelActor: SimpleModelActor! var body: some View { ScrollView { LazyVStack { DisclosureGroup("Instructions") { Text(""" Instructions: 1. In iOS 17, tap Add in View. Observe that an employee is added with Company matching the shown company name. 2. In iOS 18 beta (22A5307d), tap Add in ModelActor. Note that the View does not update (bug 1). Note in the XCode console that an Employee was created with a relationship to a Company. 3. Open the default.store SQLite file and observe that the created Employee does not have a Company relationship (bug 2). The relationship was not saved. 4. Tap Add in View. The same code is now executed in a Button closure. Note in the XCode console again that an Employee was created with a relationship to a Company.

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." UserInfo={sourceModel=(<NSManagedObjectModel: 0x10c503ac0>) isEditable 0, entities { /// there goes some long models description addPersistentStoreWithType:configuration:URL:options:error: returned error NSCocoaErrorDomain (134140) Any help or workaround will be greatly appreciated.

Private database: failed to access iCloud data please signin again.
When I logged into my cloudkit console to inspect the database for some debugging work I couldn't access the private database. It keeps saying "failed to access iCloud data, please signi n again". No matter how many times I sign in again, whether with password or passwordless key it keeps saying the same thing. It says that message when I click on Public database, and private and shared databases are below it. I only noticed this a couple of days ago. It's done this in the past, but I eventually got back into the database but I don't know what changed to make it work.

SwiftData duplicates values inside array on insert()
After copying and inserting instances I am getting strange duplicate values in arrays before saving. My models: @Model class Car: Identifiable { @Attribute(.unique) var name: String var carData: CarData func copy() -> Car { Car( name: "temporaryNewName", carData: carData ) } } @Model class CarData: Identifiable { var id: UUID = UUID() var featuresA: [Feature] var featuresB: [Feature] func copy() -> CarData { CarData( id: UUID(), featuresA: featuresA, featuresB: featuresB ) } } @Model class Feature: Identifiable { @Attribute(.unique) var id: Int @Attribute(.unique) var name: String @Relationship( deleteRule:.cascade, inverse: \CarData.featuresA ) private(set) var carDatasA: [CarData]? @Relationship( deleteRule:.cascade, inverse: \CarData.featuresB ) private(set) var carDatasB: [CarData]? } The Car instances are created and saved to SwiftData, after that in code: var fetchDescriptor = FetchDescriptor<Car>( predicate: #Predicate<Car> { car in car.name == name } ) let cars = try! modelContext.fetch( fetchDescriptor ) let car = cars.first! print("car featuresA:", car.featuresA.map{$0.name}) //prints ["green"] - expected let newCar = car.copy() newCar.name = "Another car" newcar.carData = car.carData.copy() print("newCar featuresA:", newCar.featuresA.map{$0.name}) //prints ["green"] - expected modelContext.insert(newCar) print("newCar featuresA:", newCar.featuresA.map{$0.name}) //prints ["green", "green"] - UNEXPECTED! /*some code planned here modifying newCar.featuresA, but they are wrong here causing issues, for example finding first expected green value and removing it will still keep the unexpected duplicate (unless iterating over all arrays to delete all unexpected duplicates - not optimal and sloooooow).*/ try! modelContext.save() print("newCar featuresA:", newCar.featuresA.map{$0.name}) //prints ["green"] - self-auto-healed??? Tested on iOS 18.2 simulator and iOS 18.3.1 device. Minimum deployment target: iOS 17.4 The business logic is that new instances need to be created by copying and modifying previously created ones, but I would like to avoid saving before all instances are created, because saving after creating each instance separately takes too much time overall. (In real life scenario there are more than 10K objects with much more properties, updating just ~10 instances with saving takes around 1 minute on iPhone 16 Pro.) Is this a bug, or how can I modify the code (without workarounds like deleting duplicate values) to not get duplicate values between insert() and save()?

SwiftData iOS18: "Could not materialize Objective-C class named "Set" from declared attribute value type "Set<String>" of attribute named..."
Posting here to see if folks have workarounds or if I have a misunderstanding of SwiftData supported types. In adopting SwiftData, I have swiftData properties of collection type (Array or Set - both have this issue). E.g: @Model final class Item { var timestamp: Date var strings = ["aa", "bb"] var display: String { strings.joined(separator: " ") } init(timestamp: Date) { self.timestamp = timestamp } } So far in development I haven't had issues on iOS 17, but on the iOS 18 betas 4-5 the app logs show the following error: "fault: Could not materialize Objective-C class named "Array" from declared attribute value type "Array<String>" of attribute named strings" It happens immediately in my app when creating an object with a collection attribute. In a minimal test example, the error log appears only after a few minutes and doesn't seem to affect the template app's basic functionality. Anyone else running into this? Was filed as FB14397250

Int128 fail in @Model with SwiftData
Swift recently added support for Int128. However, they do need NOT seem to be supported in SwiftData. Now totally possible I'm doing something wrong too. I have the project set to macOS 15 to use a UInt128 in @Model class as attribute. I tried using a clean Xcode project with Swift Data choosen in the macOS app wizard. Everything compiles, but it fails at runtime in both my app and "Xcode default" SwiftData: SwiftData/SchemaProperty.swift:380: Fatal error: Unexpected property within Persisted Struct/Enum: Builtin.Int128 with the only modification to from stock is: @Model final class Item { var timestamp: Date var ipv6: UInt128 init(timestamp: Date) { self.timestamp = timestamp self.ipv6 = 0 } } I have tried both Int128 and UInt128. Both fails exactly the same. In fact, so exactly, when using UInt128 it still show a "Int128" in error message, despite class member being UInt128 . My underlying need is to store an IPv6 addresses with an app, so the newer UInt128 would work to persist it. Since Network Framework IPv6Address is also not compatible, it seems, with SwiftData. So not a lot of good options, other an a String. But for an IPv6 address that suffers from that same address can take a few String forms (i.e. "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000" =="0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0" == "::") which is more annoying than having a few expand Int128 as String separator ":". Ideas welcomed. But potentially a bug in SwiftData since Int128 is both a Builtin and conforms to Codable, so from my reading it should work.

Database not deploying to CloudKit
I am trying to port my application over to CloudKit. My app worked fine before, but then I made scheme of changes and am trying to deploy to a new container. For some reason, the database is not being created after I create the container through Xcode. I think I have configured the app correctly and a container was created, but no records were deployed. My app current stores data locally on individual devices just fine but they don't sync with each other. That's why I would like to use CloudKit. See screenshot from Xcode of where I have configured the container. I also have background notifications enabled. Also see screenshot from console where the container has been created, but no records have been. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

SwiftData with CloudKit failing to migrate schema
My app has been in the App Store a few months. In that time I've added a few updates to my SwiftData schema using a MigrationPlan, and things were seemingly going ok. But then I decided to add CloudKit syncing. I needed to modify my models to be compatible. So, I added another migration stage for it, changed the properties as needed (making things optional or adding default values, etc.). In my tests, everything seemed to work smoothly updating from the previous version to the new version with CloudKit. So I released it to my users. But, that's when I started to see the crashes and error reports come in. I think I've narrowed it down to when users update from older versions of the app. I was finally able to reproduce this on my end, and Core Data is throwing an error when loading the ModelContainer saying "CloudKit integration requires that all attributes be optional, or have a default value set." Even though I did this in the latest schema. It’s like it’s trying to load CloudKit before performing the schema migration, and since it can’t, it just fails and won’t load anything. I’m kinda at a loss how to recover from this for these users other than tell them to delete their app and restart, but obviously they’ll lose their data that way. The only other idea I have is to setup some older builds on TestFlight and direct them to update to those first, then update to the newest production version and hope that solves it. Any other ideas? And what can I do to prevent this for future users who maybe reinstall the app from an older version too? There's nothing special about my code for loading the ModelContainer. Just a basic: let container = try ModelContainer( for: Foo.self, Bar.self, migrationPlan: SchemaMigration.self, configurations: ModelConfiguration(cloudKitDatabase: .automatic) )

Change to SwiftData ModelContainer causing crashes
I have some models in my app: [SDPlanBrief.self, SDAirport.self, SDChart.self, SDIndividualRunwayAirport.self, SDLocationBrief.self] SDLocationBrief has a @Relationship with SDChart When I went live with my app I didn't have a versioned schema, but quickly had to change that as I needed to add items to my SDPlanBrief Model. The first versioned schema I made included only the model that I had made a change to. static var models: [any PersistentModel.Type] { [SDPlanBrief.self] } I had made zero changes to my model container and the whole time, and it was working fine. The migration worked well and this is what I was using: .modelContainer(for: [SDAirport.self, SDIndividualRunwayAirport.self, SDLocationBrief.self, SDChart.self, SDPlanBrief.self]) I then saw that to do this all properly, I should actually include ALL of my @Models in the versioned schema: enum AllSwiftDataSchemaV3: VersionedSchema { static var models: [any PersistentModel.Type] { [SDPlanBrief.self, SDAirport.self, SDChart.self, SDIndividualRunwayAirport.self, SDLocationBrief.self] } static var versionIdentifier: Schema.Version = .init(2, 0, 0) } extension AllSwiftDataSchemaV3 { @Model class SDPlanBrief { var destination: String etc... init(destination: String, etc...) { self.destination = destination etc... } } @Model class SDAirport { var catABMinima: String etc... init(catABMinima: String etc...) { self.catABMinima = catABMinima etc... } } @Model class SDChart: Identifiable { var key: String etc... var brief: SDLocationBrief? // @Relationship with SDChart init(key: String etc...) { self.key = key etc... } } @Model class SDIndividualRunwayAirport { var icaoCode: String etc... init(icaoCode: String etc...) { self.icaoCode = icaoCode etc... } } @Model class SDLocationBrief: Identifiable { var briefString: String etc... @Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade, inverse: \SDChart.brief) var chartsArray = [SDChart]() init( briefString: String, etc... chartsArray: [SDChart] = [] ) { self.briefString = briefString etc... self.chartsArray = chartsArray } } } This is ALL my models in here btw. I saw also that modelContainer needed updating to work better for versioned schemas. I changed my modelContainer to look like this: actor ModelContainerActor { @MainActor static func container() -> ModelContainer { let schema = Schema( versionedSchema: AllSwiftDataSchemaV3.self ) let configuration = ModelConfiguration() let container = try! ModelContainer( for: schema, migrationPlan: PlanBriefMigrationPlan.self, configurations: configuration ) return container } } and I am passing in like so: .modelContainer(ModelContainerActor.container()) Each time I run the app now, I suddenly get this message a few times in a row: CoreData: error: Attempting to retrieve an NSManagedObjectModel version checksum while the model is still editable. This may result in an unstable verison checksum. Add model to NSPersistentStoreCoordinator and try again. I typealias all of these models too for the most recent V3 version eg: typealias SDPlanBrief = AllSwiftDataSchemaV3.SDPlanBrief Can someone see if I am doing something wrong here? It seems my TestFlight users are experiencing a crash every now and then when certain views load (I assume when accessing @Query objects). Seems its more so when a view loads quickly, like when removing a subscription view where the data may not have had time to load??? Can someone please have a look and help me out.

Swift 6 Concurrency errors with ModelActor, or Core Data actors
In my app, I've been using ModelActors in SwiftData, and using actors with a custom executor in Core Data to create concurrency safe services. I have multiple actor services that relate to different data model components or features, each that have their own internally managed state (DocumentService, ImportService, etc). The problem I've ran into, is that I need to be able to use multiple of these services within another service, and those services need to share the same context. Swift 6 doesn't allow passing contexts across actors. The specific problem I have is that I need a master service that makes multiple unrelated changes without saving them to the main context until approved by the user. I've tried to find a solution in SwiftData and Core Data, but both have the same problem which is contexts are not sendable. Read the comments in the code to see the issue: /// This actor does multiple things without saving, until committed in SwiftData. @ModelActor actor DatabaseHelper { func commitChange() throws { try modelContext.save() } func makeChanges() async throws { // Do unrelated expensive tasks on the child context... // Next, use our item service let service = ItemService(modelContainer: SwiftDataStack.shared.container) let id = try await service.expensiveBackgroundTask(saveChanges: false) // Now that we've used the service, we need to access something the service created. // However, because the service created its own context and it was never saved, we can't access it. let itemFromService = context.fetch(id) // fails // We need to be able to access changes made from the service within this service, /// so instead I tried to create the service by passing the current service context, however that results in: // ERROR: Sending 'self.modelContext' risks causing data races let serviceFromContext = ItemService(context: modelContext) // Swift Data doesn't let you create child contexts, so the same context must be used in order to change data without saving. } } @ModelActor actor ItemService { init(context: ModelContext) { modelContainer = SwiftDataStack.shared.container modelExecutor = DefaultSerialModelExecutor(modelContext: context) } func expensiveBackgroundTask(saveChanges: Bool = true) async throws -> PersistentIdentifier? { // Do something expensive... return nil } } Core Data has the same problem: /// This actor does multiple things without saving, until committed in Core Data. actor CoreDataHelper { let parentContext: NSManagedObjectContext let context: NSManagedObjectContext /// In Core Data, I can create a child context from a background context. /// This lets you modify the context and save it without updating the main context. init(progress: Progress = Progress()) { parentContext = CoreDataStack.shared.newBackgroundContext() let childContext = NSManagedObjectContext(concurrencyType: .privateQueueConcurrencyType) childContext.parent = parentContext self.context = childContext } /// To commit changes, save the parent context pushing them to the main context. func commitChange() async throws { // ERROR: Sending 'self.parentContext' risks causing data races try await parentContext.perform { try self.parentContext.save() } } func makeChanges() async throws { // Do unrelated expensive tasks on the child context... // As with the Swift Data example, I am unable to create a service that uses the current actors context from here. // ERROR: Sending 'self.context' risks causing data races let service = ItemService(context: self.context) } } Am I going about this wrong, or is there a solution to fix these errors? Some services are very large and have their own internal state. So it would be very difficult to merge all of them into a single service. I also am using Core Data, and SwiftData extensively so I need a solution for both. I seem to have trapped myself into a corner trying to make everything concurrency save, so any help would be appreciated!

dual predicate search using CoreData
I have a very simple CoreData model that has 1 entity and 2 attributes. This code works fine: .onChange(of: searchText) { _, text in evnts.nsPredicate = text.isEmpty ? nil :NSPredicate(format: "eventName CONTAINS %@ " , text ) but I'd like to also search with the same text string for my second attribute (which is a Date). I believe an OR is appropriate for two conditions (find either one). See attempted code below: evnts.nsPredicate = text.isEmpty ? nil : NSPredicate(format: "(eventName CONTAINS %@) OR (dueDate CONTAINS %i) " , text ) This crashes immediately %@ does the same. Is there a way to accomplish this? How is SwiftUI not an option below?

NSMigrationManager.migrateStore with NSPersistentHistoryTrackingKey
I am implementing a custom migration, and facing an issue while implementing a WAL checkpointing. Here is the code for WAL checkpointing func forceWALCheckpointingForStore(at storeURL: URL, model: NSManagedObjectModel) throws { let persistentStoreCoordinator = NSPersistentStoreCoordinator(managedObjectModel: model) let options = [NSSQLitePragmasOption: ["journal_mode": "DELETE"]] let store = try persistentStoreCoordinator.addPersistentStore(type: .sqlite, at: storeURL, options: options) try persistentStoreCoordinator.remove(store) } When the coordinator tries to add the store I am getting the following error fault: Store opened without NSPersistentHistoryTrackingKey but previously had been opened with NSPersistentHistoryTrackingKey - Forcing into Read Only mode store My questions are Is it really necessary to force WAL checkpointing before migration? I am expecting NSMigrationManager to handle it internally. I am assuming this because the migrateStore function asks for the sourceType where I am passing StoreType.sqlite If checkpointing is required, then how do I address the original issue Note: Since my app supports macOS 13, I am not able to use the newly introduced Staged migrations. There is similar question on Stackoverflow that remains unanswered. https://stackoverflow.com/q/69131577/1311902

Mapping model not found if the attribute has "Preserve after deletion" enabled
I am trying to migrate my Core Data model to a new version with a new attribute added to it. Since my app supports macOS 13 I am not able to use the newly introduced Staged migrations. After much digging I found that the app is not able to find the Mapping Model when one of the attribute has "Preserve after deletion" enabled. I have enabled migration debbuging using com.apple.CoreData.MigrationDebug 1 I am getting following error error: CoreData: error: (migration) migration failed with error Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=134140 "Persistent store migration failed, missing mapping model." What is the way out here?

EXC_BAD_ACCESS When saving core data
I'm trying to convert some data, then save it back to Core Data. Sometimes this works fine without an issue, but occasionally I'll get an error Thread 1: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0x0) It seems to occur when saving the core data context.

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
