Provisioning profile missing entitlement
My iOS app uses CloudKit key-value storage. I have not updated the app in a few years but it works fine. Since it was last updated, I transferred the app from an old organization to my personal developer account. Now that I'm working on the app again I get an error: Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: com.company.app" doesn't match the entitlements file's value for the com.apple.developer.ubiquity-kvstore-identifier entitlement. In the entitlement file, it has $(TeamIdentifierPrefix)$(CFBundleIdentifier) as the value for iCloud Key-Value Store. I've verified the variables resolve as expected. When I parse the provisioning profile there is no entitlement value for key-value storage. What am I getting wrong?

NSPersistentCloudKitContainer in duplicate processes
I have a single multiplatform application that I use NSPersistentCloudKitContainer on. This works great, except I noticed when I open two instances of the same process (not windows) on the same computer, which share the same store, data duplication and "Metadata Inconsistency" errors start appearing. This answer (https://stackoverflow.com/a/67243833) says this is not supported with NSPersistentCloudKitContainer. Is this indeed true? If it isn't allowed, is the only solution to disable multiple instances of the process via a lock file? I was thinking one could somehow coordinate a single "leader" process that syncs to the cloud, with the others using NSPersistentContainer, but this would be complicated when the "leader" process terminates. Currently, it seems iPad split views are new windows, not processes -- but overall I'm still curious :0 Thank you!

Performance in Large Datasets (SwiftUI+SwiftData app)
Hi everyone, In the simple app below, I have a QueryView that has LazyVStack containing 100k TextField's that edit the item's content. The items are fetched with a @Query. On launch, the app will generate 100k items. Once created, when I press any of the TextField's , a severe hang happens, and every time I type a single character, it will cause another hang over and over again. I looked at it in Instruments and it shows that the main thread is busy during the duration of the hang (2.31 seconds) updating QueryView. From the cause and effect graph, the update is caused by @Observable QueryController <Item>.(Bool). Why does it take too long to recalculate the view, given that it's in a LazyVStack? (In other words, why is the hang duration directly proportional to the number of items?) How to fix the performance of this app? I thought adding LazyVStack was all I need to handle the large dataset, but maybe I need to add a custom pagination with .fetchLimit on top of that? (I understand that ModelActor would be an alternative to @Query because it will make the database operations happen outside of the main thread which will fix this problem, but with that I will lose the automatic fetching of @Query.) Thank you for the help! import SwiftData import SwiftUI @main struct QueryPerformanceApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() .modelContainer(for: [Item.self], inMemory: true) } } } @Model final class Item { var name: String init(name: String) { self.name = name } } struct ItemDetail: View { @Bindable var item: Item var body: some View { TextField("Name", text: $item.name) } } struct QueryView: View { @Query private var items: [Item] var body: some View { ScrollView { LazyVStack { ForEach(items) { item in VStack { ItemDetail(item: item) } } } } } } struct ContentView: View { let itemCount = 100_000 @Environment(\.modelContext) private var context @State private var isLoading = true var body: some View { Group { if isLoading { VStack(spacing: 16) { ProgressView() Text("Generating \(itemCount) items...") } } else { QueryView() } } .task { for i in 1...itemCount { context.insert(Item(name: "Item \(i)")) } try? context.save() isLoading = false } } }

CoreData + CloudKit -- Many-to-Many Relationship not Syncing
In an iOS App that uses CKShare I have a many-to-many relationship that does not consistently sync between the share's N participants. The relationship is between Group and Player as group.players and player.groups. As an example, given 3 group each with 4 players (aka 4:4:4), some devices show CoreData (it is NOT a UI issue) with 4:2:3 or 3:4:4. (A deletion of CoreData from a device, forcing a full re-sync from CloudKit, seems to populate the group:player relationships consistently; but obviously that is impractical to resolving the issue). How do I avoid these sync-from-CloudKit inconsistencies? Note: AI agents generally suggest adding a CoreData 'join' entity - such as 'GroupPlayer'. Is that THE fix?

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?

Fatal error on rollback after delete
I encountered an error when trying to rollback context after deleting some model with multiple one-to-many relationships when encountered a problem later in a deleting method and before saving the changes. Something like this: do { // Fetch model modelContext.delete(model) // Do some async work that potentially throws try modelContext.save() } catch { modelContext.rollback() } When relationship is empty - the parent has no children - I can safely delete and rollback with no issues. However, when there is even one child when I call even this code: modelContext.delete(someModel) modelContext.rollback() I'm getting a fatal error: SwiftData/ModelSnapshot.swift:46: Fatal error: Unexpected backing data for snapshot creation: SwiftData._FullFutureBackingData<ChildModel> I use ModelContext from within the ModelActor but using mainContext changes nothing. My ModelContainer is quite simple and problem occurs on both in-memory and persistent storage, with or without CloudKit database being enabled. I can isolate the issue in test environment, so the model that's being deleted (or any other) is not being accessed by any other part of the application. However, problem looks the same in the real app. I also changed the target version of iOS from 18.0 to 26.0, but to no avail. My models look kind of like this: @Model final class ParentModel { var name: String @Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade, inverse: \ChildModel.parent) var children: [ChildModel]? init(name: String) { self.name = name } } @Model final class ChildModel { var name: String @Relationship(deleteRule: .nullify) var parent: ParentModel? init(name: String) { self.name = name } } I tried many approaches that didn't help: Fetching all children (via fetch) just to "populate" the context Accessing all children on parent model (via let _ = parentModel.children?.count) Deleting all children reading models from parent: for child in parentModel.children ?? [] { modelContext.delete(child) } Deleting all children like this: let parentPersistentModelID = parentModel.persistentModelID modelContext.delete(model: ChildModel.self, where: #Predicate { $0.parent.persistentModelID == parentPersistentModelID }, includeSubclasses: true) Removing @Relationship(deleteRule: .nullify) from ChildModel relationship definition I found 2 solution for the problem: To manually fetch and delete all children prior to deleting parent: let parentPersistentModelID = parentModel.persistentModelID for child in try modelContext.fetch(FetchDescriptor<ChildModel>(predicate: #Predicate { $0.parent.persistentModelID == parentPersistentModelID })) { modelContext.delete(child) } modelContext.delete(parentModel) Trying to run my code in child context (let childContext = ModelContext(modelContext.container)) All that sounds to me like a problem deep inside Swift Data itself. The first solution I found, fetching potentially hundreds of child models just to delete them in case I might need to rollback changes on some error, sounds like awful waste of resources to me. The second one however seems to work fine has that drawback that I can't fully test my code. Right now I can wrap the context (literally creating class that holds ModelContext and calls its methods) and in tests for throwing methods force them to throw. By creating scratch ModelContext I loose that possibility. What might be the real issue here? Am I missing something?

CKSyncEngine on macOS: Automatic Fetch Extremely Slow Compared to iOS
Hi everyone, We’re currently using CKSyncEngine to sync all our locally persisted data across user devices (iOS and macOS) via iCloud. We’ve noticed something strange and reproducible: On iOS, when the CKSyncEngine is initialized with manual sync behavior, both manual calls to fetchChanges() and sendChanges() happen nearly instantly (usually within seconds). Automatic syncing is also very fast. On macOS, when the CKSyncEngine is initialized with manual sync behavior, fetchChanges() and sendChanges() are also fast and responsive. However, once CKSyncEngine is initialized with automatic syncing enabled on macOS: sendChanges() still appears to transmit changes immediately. But automatic fetching becomes significantly slower — often taking minutes to pick up changes from the cloud, even when new data is already available. Even manual calls to fetchChanges() behave as if they’re throttled or delayed, rather than performing an immediate fetch. Our questions: Is this delay in automatic (and post-automatic manual) fetch behavior on macOS expected, or possibly a bug? Are there specific macOS constraints that impact CKSyncEngine differently than on iOS? Once CKSyncEngine has been initialized in automatic mode, is fetchChanges() no longer treated as a truly manual trigger? Is there a recommended workaround to enable fast sync behavior on macOS — for example, by sticking to manual sync configuration and triggering sync using a CKSubscription-based mechanism when remote changes occur? Any guidance, clarification, or experiences from other developers (or Apple engineers) would be greatly appreciated — especially regarding maintaining parity between iOS and macOS sync performance. Thanks in advance!

Swiftdata cloudkit synchronization issues
Hi, I did cloudkit synchronization using swiftdata. However, synchronization does not occur automatically, and synchronization occurs intermittently only when the device is closed and opened. For confirmation, after changing the data in Device 1 (saving), when the data is fetched from Device 2, there is no change. I've heard that there's still an issue with swiftdata sync and Apple is currently troubleshooting it, is the phenomenon I'm experiencing in the current version normal?

SwiftData + CloudKit causes watchOS app termination during WKExtendedRuntimeSession (FB17685611)
Hi all, I’m encountering a consistent issue with SwiftData on watchOS when using CloudKit sync. After enabling: let config = ModelConfiguration(schema: schema, cloudKitDatabase: .automatic) …the app terminates ~30–60 seconds into a WKExtendedRuntimeSession. This happens specifically when: Always-On Display is OFF The iPhone is disconnected or in Airplane Mode The app is running in a WKExtendedRuntimeSession (e.g., used for meditation tracking) The Xcode logs show a warning: Background Task ("CoreData: CloudKit Setup"), was created over 30 seconds ago. In applications running in the background, this creates a risk of termination. It appears CloudKit sync setup is being triggered automatically and flagged by the system as an unmanaged long-running task, leading to termination. Workaround: Switching to: let config = ModelConfiguration(schema: schema, cloudKitDatabase: .none) …prevents the issue entirely — no background task warning, no crash. Feedback ID submitted: FB17685611 Just wanted to check if others have seen this behavior or found alternative solutions. It seems like something Apple may need to address in SwiftData’s CloudKit handling on watchOS.

Does 'perform(schedule: .immediate)' guarantee serial execution?
If I have two consecutive calls like to perform(schedule: .immediate) like so: func doSomething() async { await self.perform(schedule: .immediate) { // add log event 1 to data store } await self.perform(schedule: .immediate) { // add log event 2 to data store } } Can I be guaranteed that the block for log event 1 will happen after log event 2? "log event" here is just an example, so please ignore things like storing date, etc. Looking at the documentation here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coredata/nsmanagedobjectcontext/perform(schedule:_:) It's a little unclear whether any such guarantee is in place. However, given that the function returns the value from the block, it seems like I should be able to expect event 1 will always be executed before event 2 regardless of the schedule parameter?

macOS to macOS SwiftData iCloud Sync Problems
I am a novice developer, so please be kind. 😬 I am developing a simple macOS app backed with SwiftData and trying to set up iCloud sync so data syncs between two Macs running the app. I have added the iCloud capability, checked the CloudKit box, and selected an iCloud Container. Per suggestion of Paul Hudson, my model properties have either default values or are marked as optional, and the only relationship in my model is marked as optional. @Model final class Project { // Stable identifier used for restoring selected project across launches. var uuid: UUID? var name: String = "" var active: Bool = true var created: Date = Foundation.Date(timeIntervalSince1970: 0) var modified: Date = Foundation.Date(timeIntervalSince1970: 0) // CloudKit requires to-many relationships to be optional in this schema. @Relationship var timeEntries: [TimeEntry]? init(name: String, active: Bool = true, uuid: UUID? = UUID()) { self.uuid = uuid self.name = name self.active = active self.created = .now self.modified = .now self.timeEntries = [] } @Model final class TimeEntry { // Core timing fields. var start: Date = Foundation.Date(timeIntervalSince1970: 0) var end: Date = Foundation.Date(timeIntervalSince1970: 0) var codeRawValue: String? var activitiesRawValue: String = "" // Inverse relationship back to the owning project. @Relationship(inverse: \Project.timeEntries) var project: Project? init( start: Date = .now, end: Date = .now.addingTimeInterval(60 * 60), code: BillingCode? = nil, activities: [ActivityType] = [] ) { self.start = start self.end = end self.codeRawValue = code?.rawValue self.activitiesRawValue = Self.serializeActivities(activities) } I have set up the following in the AppDelegate for registering for remote notifications as well as some logging to console that the remote notification token was received and to be notified when when I am receiving remote notifications. private final class TimeTrackerAppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate { func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ notification: Notification) { print("📡 [Push] Registering for remote notifications") NSApplication.shared.registerForRemoteNotifications() } func application(_ application: NSApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: Data) { let tokenPreview = deviceToken.map { String(format: "%02x", $0) }.joined().prefix(16) print("✅ [Push] Registered for remote notifications (token prefix: \(tokenPreview)...)") } func application(_ application: NSApplication, didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError error: Error) { let nsError = error as NSError print("❌ [Push] Failed to register for remote notifications: \(nsError.domain) (\(nsError.code)) \(nsError.localizedDescription)") } func application(_ application: NSApplication, didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [String: Any]) { print("📬 [Push] Received remote notification: \(userInfo)") } } In testing, I run the same commit from Xcode on two different Macs logged into the same iCloud account. My problem is that sync is not reliably working. Starting up the app on both Macs shows that the app successfully registered for remote notifications. Sometimes, making an edit on Mac 1 is immediately reflected in Mac 2 UI along with didReceiveRemoteNotification message (all occurring while the Mac 2 app remains in foreground). Sometimes, the Mac 2 app needs to be backgrounded and re-foregrounded before the UI shows the updated data. Sometimes, an edit on Mac 2 will show on Mac 1 only after re-foregrounded but not show any didReceiveRemoteNotification on the Mac 1 console. Sometimes, an edit on Mac 2 will not show at all on Mac 1 even after re-foregrounding the app. Sometimes, no edits sync between either Mac. I had read about how a few years back, there was a bug in macOS where testing iCloud sync between Macs did not work while running from Xcode but would work in TestFlight. For me, running my app in TestFlight on both Macs has never been able to sync any edits between the Macs. Any idea where I might be going wrong. It seems this should not be this hard and should not be failing so inconsistently. Wondering what I might be doing wrong here.

Xcode 26: Sendable checking + NSManagedObjectContext.perform in Swift 6
I have some code which handles doing some computation on a background thread before updating Core Data NSManagedObjects by using the NSManagedObjectContext.perform functions. This code is covered in Sendable warnings in Xcode 26 (beta 6) because my NSManagedObject subclasses (autogenerated) are non-Sendable and NSManagedObjectContext.perform function takes a Sendable closure. But I can't really figure out what I should be doing. I realize this pattern is non-ideal for Swift concurrency, but it's what Core Data demands AFAIK. How do I deal with this? let moc = object.managedObjectContext! try await moc.perform { object.completed = true // Capture of 'object' with non-Sendable type 'MySpecialObject' in a '@Sendable' closure try moc.save() } Thanks in advance for your help!

Avoid Duplicate Records with CloudKit & CoreData
When my app starts it loads data (of vehicle models, manufacturers, ...) from JSON files into CoreData.  This content is static. Some CoreData entities have fields that can be set by the user, for example an isFavorite boolean field. How do I tell CloudKit that my CoreData objects are 'static' and must not be duplicated on other devices (that will also load it from JSON files). In other words, how can I make sure that the CloudKit knows that the record created from JSON for vehicle model XYZ on one device is the same record that was created from JSON on any other device? I'm using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer.

CKSyncEngine: Duplicate FetchedRecordZoneChanges & Sync Handling Questions
Hi everyone, I've recently implemented CKSyncEngine in my app, and I have two questions regarding its behavior: Duplicate FetchedRecordZoneChanges After Sending Changes: I’ve noticed that the engine sometimes receives a FetchedRecordZoneChanges event containing modifications and deletions that were just sent by the same device a few moments earlier. This event arrives after the SentRecordZoneChanges event, and both events share the same recordChangeTag, which results in double-handling the record. Is this expected behavior? I’d like to confirm if this is how CKSyncEngine works or if I might be overlooking something. Handling Initial Sync with a "Sync Screen": When a user opens the app for the first time and already has data stored in iCloud, I need to display a "Sync Screen" temporarily to prevent showing partial data or triggering abrupt, rapid UI changes. I’ve found that canceling current operations, then awaiting sendChanges() and fetchChanges() works well to ensure data is fully synced before dismissing the sync screen: displaySyncScreen = true await syncEngine.cancelOperations() try await syncEngine.sendChanges() try await syncEngine.fetchChanges() displaySyncScreen = false However, I’m unsure if canceling operations like this could lead to data loss or other issues. Is this a safe approach, or would you recommend a better strategy for handling this initial sync state?

SwiftData property marked ephemeral getting persisted in CloudKit
Am I misunderstanding the expected behavior here, or is there a bug in the behavior of @Attribute(.ephemeral) tagged SwiftData model properties? The documentation for .ephemeral says "Track changes to this property but do not persist". I started using .ephemeral because @Transient was inhibiting SwiftUI from reacting to changes to the property through @Observable. I am updating the value of my @Attribute(.ephemeral) property about once a second and I am seeing corresponding console log output showing the property as part of the generated CKRecord object. I then confirmed in the CloudKit dev portal that the .ephemeral property was added to the Record schema and contains real values. The behavior seems as though the .ephemeral property is being completely ignored. This is observed in a new Xcode project using SwiftData with CloudKit, Xcode 16.2, macOS 15.3.1 and during Build & Run testing on physical devices.

SwiftData - Cloudkit stopped syncing
I have an app that from day 1 has used Swiftdata and successfully sync'd across devices with Cloudkit. I have added models to the data in the past and deployed the schema and it continued to sync across devices. Sometime I think in June.2025 I added a new model and built out the UI to display and manage it. I pushed a version to Test Flight (twice over a matter of 2 versions and a couple of weeks) and created objects in the new model in Test Flight versions of the app which should push the info to Cloudkit to update the schema. When I go to deploy the schema though there are no changes. I confirmed in the app that Cloudkit is selected and it's point to the correct container. And when I look in Cloudkit the new model isn't listed as an indes. I've pushed deploy schema changes anyway (more than once) and now the app isn't sync-ing across devices at all (even the pre-existing models aren't sync-ing across devices). I even submitted the first updated version to the app store and it was approved and released. I created objects in the new model in production which I know doesn't create the indexes in the development environment. But this new model functions literally everywhere except Cloudkit and I don't know what else to do to trigger an update.

SwiftData crash on adding sort argument to Query
Experiencing a crash that is only reproducible on TestFlight or AppStore version of the app, note this does not happen when running from Xcode. I've isolated the problem to sort argument being added to @Query that fetches a model that sorts based on inherited property. To reproduce: @Model class SuperModel { var createdAt: Date = .now } @available(macOS 26.0, *) @Model class SubModel: SuperModel { } @Query(sort: \SubModel.createdAt, animation: .default) private var models: [SubModel]

Provisioning profile missing entitlement
My iOS app uses CloudKit key-value storage. I have not updated the app in a few years but it works fine. Since it was last updated, I transferred the app from an old organization to my personal developer account. Now that I'm working on the app again I get an error: Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: com.company.app" doesn't match the entitlements file's value for the com.apple.developer.ubiquity-kvstore-identifier entitlement. In the entitlement file, it has $(TeamIdentifierPrefix)$(CFBundleIdentifier) as the value for iCloud Key-Value Store. I've verified the variables resolve as expected. When I parse the provisioning profile there is no entitlement value for key-value storage. What am I getting wrong?

NSPersistentCloudKitContainer in duplicate processes
I have a single multiplatform application that I use NSPersistentCloudKitContainer on. This works great, except I noticed when I open two instances of the same process (not windows) on the same computer, which share the same store, data duplication and "Metadata Inconsistency" errors start appearing. This answer (https://stackoverflow.com/a/67243833) says this is not supported with NSPersistentCloudKitContainer. Is this indeed true? If it isn't allowed, is the only solution to disable multiple instances of the process via a lock file? I was thinking one could somehow coordinate a single "leader" process that syncs to the cloud, with the others using NSPersistentContainer, but this would be complicated when the "leader" process terminates. Currently, it seems iPad split views are new windows, not processes -- but overall I'm still curious :0 Thank you!

Performance in Large Datasets (SwiftUI+SwiftData app)
Hi everyone, In the simple app below, I have a QueryView that has LazyVStack containing 100k TextField's that edit the item's content. The items are fetched with a @Query. On launch, the app will generate 100k items. Once created, when I press any of the TextField's , a severe hang happens, and every time I type a single character, it will cause another hang over and over again. I looked at it in Instruments and it shows that the main thread is busy during the duration of the hang (2.31 seconds) updating QueryView. From the cause and effect graph, the update is caused by @Observable QueryController <Item>.(Bool). Why does it take too long to recalculate the view, given that it's in a LazyVStack? (In other words, why is the hang duration directly proportional to the number of items?) How to fix the performance of this app? I thought adding LazyVStack was all I need to handle the large dataset, but maybe I need to add a custom pagination with .fetchLimit on top of that? (I understand that ModelActor would be an alternative to @Query because it will make the database operations happen outside of the main thread which will fix this problem, but with that I will lose the automatic fetching of @Query.) Thank you for the help! import SwiftData import SwiftUI @main struct QueryPerformanceApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() .modelContainer(for: [Item.self], inMemory: true) } } } @Model final class Item { var name: String init(name: String) { self.name = name } } struct ItemDetail: View { @Bindable var item: Item var body: some View { TextField("Name", text: $item.name) } } struct QueryView: View { @Query private var items: [Item] var body: some View { ScrollView { LazyVStack { ForEach(items) { item in VStack { ItemDetail(item: item) } } } } } } struct ContentView: View { let itemCount = 100_000 @Environment(\.modelContext) private var context @State private var isLoading = true var body: some View { Group { if isLoading { VStack(spacing: 16) { ProgressView() Text("Generating \(itemCount) items...") } } else { QueryView() } } .task { for i in 1...itemCount { context.insert(Item(name: "Item \(i)")) } try? context.save() isLoading = false } } }

CoreData + CloudKit -- Many-to-Many Relationship not Syncing
In an iOS App that uses CKShare I have a many-to-many relationship that does not consistently sync between the share's N participants. The relationship is between Group and Player as group.players and player.groups. As an example, given 3 group each with 4 players (aka 4:4:4), some devices show CoreData (it is NOT a UI issue) with 4:2:3 or 3:4:4. (A deletion of CoreData from a device, forcing a full re-sync from CloudKit, seems to populate the group:player relationships consistently; but obviously that is impractical to resolving the issue). How do I avoid these sync-from-CloudKit inconsistencies? Note: AI agents generally suggest adding a CoreData 'join' entity - such as 'GroupPlayer'. Is that THE fix?

Issue with SwiftData inheritance

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?

Fatal error on rollback after delete
I encountered an error when trying to rollback context after deleting some model with multiple one-to-many relationships when encountered a problem later in a deleting method and before saving the changes. Something like this: do { // Fetch model modelContext.delete(model) // Do some async work that potentially throws try modelContext.save() } catch { modelContext.rollback() } When relationship is empty - the parent has no children - I can safely delete and rollback with no issues. However, when there is even one child when I call even this code: modelContext.delete(someModel) modelContext.rollback() I'm getting a fatal error: SwiftData/ModelSnapshot.swift:46: Fatal error: Unexpected backing data for snapshot creation: SwiftData._FullFutureBackingData<ChildModel> I use ModelContext from within the ModelActor but using mainContext changes nothing. My ModelContainer is quite simple and problem occurs on both in-memory and persistent storage, with or without CloudKit database being enabled. I can isolate the issue in test environment, so the model that's being deleted (or any other) is not being accessed by any other part of the application. However, problem looks the same in the real app. I also changed the target version of iOS from 18.0 to 26.0, but to no avail. My models look kind of like this: @Model final class ParentModel { var name: String @Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade, inverse: \ChildModel.parent) var children: [ChildModel]? init(name: String) { self.name = name } } @Model final class ChildModel { var name: String @Relationship(deleteRule: .nullify) var parent: ParentModel? init(name: String) { self.name = name } } I tried many approaches that didn't help: Fetching all children (via fetch) just to "populate" the context Accessing all children on parent model (via let _ = parentModel.children?.count) Deleting all children reading models from parent: for child in parentModel.children ?? [] { modelContext.delete(child) } Deleting all children like this: let parentPersistentModelID = parentModel.persistentModelID modelContext.delete(model: ChildModel.self, where: #Predicate { $0.parent.persistentModelID == parentPersistentModelID }, includeSubclasses: true) Removing @Relationship(deleteRule: .nullify) from ChildModel relationship definition I found 2 solution for the problem: To manually fetch and delete all children prior to deleting parent: let parentPersistentModelID = parentModel.persistentModelID for child in try modelContext.fetch(FetchDescriptor<ChildModel>(predicate: #Predicate { $0.parent.persistentModelID == parentPersistentModelID })) { modelContext.delete(child) } modelContext.delete(parentModel) Trying to run my code in child context (let childContext = ModelContext(modelContext.container)) All that sounds to me like a problem deep inside Swift Data itself. The first solution I found, fetching potentially hundreds of child models just to delete them in case I might need to rollback changes on some error, sounds like awful waste of resources to me. The second one however seems to work fine has that drawback that I can't fully test my code. Right now I can wrap the context (literally creating class that holds ModelContext and calls its methods) and in tests for throwing methods force them to throw. By creating scratch ModelContext I loose that possibility. What might be the real issue here? Am I missing something?

CKSyncEngine on macOS: Automatic Fetch Extremely Slow Compared to iOS
Hi everyone, We’re currently using CKSyncEngine to sync all our locally persisted data across user devices (iOS and macOS) via iCloud. We’ve noticed something strange and reproducible: On iOS, when the CKSyncEngine is initialized with manual sync behavior, both manual calls to fetchChanges() and sendChanges() happen nearly instantly (usually within seconds). Automatic syncing is also very fast. On macOS, when the CKSyncEngine is initialized with manual sync behavior, fetchChanges() and sendChanges() are also fast and responsive. However, once CKSyncEngine is initialized with automatic syncing enabled on macOS: sendChanges() still appears to transmit changes immediately. But automatic fetching becomes significantly slower — often taking minutes to pick up changes from the cloud, even when new data is already available. Even manual calls to fetchChanges() behave as if they’re throttled or delayed, rather than performing an immediate fetch. Our questions: Is this delay in automatic (and post-automatic manual) fetch behavior on macOS expected, or possibly a bug? Are there specific macOS constraints that impact CKSyncEngine differently than on iOS? Once CKSyncEngine has been initialized in automatic mode, is fetchChanges() no longer treated as a truly manual trigger? Is there a recommended workaround to enable fast sync behavior on macOS — for example, by sticking to manual sync configuration and triggering sync using a CKSubscription-based mechanism when remote changes occur? Any guidance, clarification, or experiences from other developers (or Apple engineers) would be greatly appreciated — especially regarding maintaining parity between iOS and macOS sync performance. Thanks in advance!

Swiftdata cloudkit synchronization issues
Hi, I did cloudkit synchronization using swiftdata. However, synchronization does not occur automatically, and synchronization occurs intermittently only when the device is closed and opened. For confirmation, after changing the data in Device 1 (saving), when the data is fetched from Device 2, there is no change. I've heard that there's still an issue with swiftdata sync and Apple is currently troubleshooting it, is the phenomenon I'm experiencing in the current version normal?

SwiftData + CloudKit causes watchOS app termination during WKExtendedRuntimeSession (FB17685611)
Hi all, I’m encountering a consistent issue with SwiftData on watchOS when using CloudKit sync. After enabling: let config = ModelConfiguration(schema: schema, cloudKitDatabase: .automatic) …the app terminates ~30–60 seconds into a WKExtendedRuntimeSession. This happens specifically when: Always-On Display is OFF The iPhone is disconnected or in Airplane Mode The app is running in a WKExtendedRuntimeSession (e.g., used for meditation tracking) The Xcode logs show a warning: Background Task ("CoreData: CloudKit Setup"), was created over 30 seconds ago. In applications running in the background, this creates a risk of termination. It appears CloudKit sync setup is being triggered automatically and flagged by the system as an unmanaged long-running task, leading to termination. Workaround: Switching to: let config = ModelConfiguration(schema: schema, cloudKitDatabase: .none) …prevents the issue entirely — no background task warning, no crash. Feedback ID submitted: FB17685611 Just wanted to check if others have seen this behavior or found alternative solutions. It seems like something Apple may need to address in SwiftData’s CloudKit handling on watchOS.

Does 'perform(schedule: .immediate)' guarantee serial execution?
If I have two consecutive calls like to perform(schedule: .immediate) like so: func doSomething() async { await self.perform(schedule: .immediate) { // add log event 1 to data store } await self.perform(schedule: .immediate) { // add log event 2 to data store } } Can I be guaranteed that the block for log event 1 will happen after log event 2? "log event" here is just an example, so please ignore things like storing date, etc. Looking at the documentation here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coredata/nsmanagedobjectcontext/perform(schedule:_:) It's a little unclear whether any such guarantee is in place. However, given that the function returns the value from the block, it seems like I should be able to expect event 1 will always be executed before event 2 regardless of the schedule parameter?

macOS to macOS SwiftData iCloud Sync Problems
I am a novice developer, so please be kind. 😬 I am developing a simple macOS app backed with SwiftData and trying to set up iCloud sync so data syncs between two Macs running the app. I have added the iCloud capability, checked the CloudKit box, and selected an iCloud Container. Per suggestion of Paul Hudson, my model properties have either default values or are marked as optional, and the only relationship in my model is marked as optional. @Model final class Project { // Stable identifier used for restoring selected project across launches. var uuid: UUID? var name: String = "" var active: Bool = true var created: Date = Foundation.Date(timeIntervalSince1970: 0) var modified: Date = Foundation.Date(timeIntervalSince1970: 0) // CloudKit requires to-many relationships to be optional in this schema. @Relationship var timeEntries: [TimeEntry]? init(name: String, active: Bool = true, uuid: UUID? = UUID()) { self.uuid = uuid self.name = name self.active = active self.created = .now self.modified = .now self.timeEntries = [] } @Model final class TimeEntry { // Core timing fields. var start: Date = Foundation.Date(timeIntervalSince1970: 0) var end: Date = Foundation.Date(timeIntervalSince1970: 0) var codeRawValue: String? var activitiesRawValue: String = "" // Inverse relationship back to the owning project. @Relationship(inverse: \Project.timeEntries) var project: Project? init( start: Date = .now, end: Date = .now.addingTimeInterval(60 * 60), code: BillingCode? = nil, activities: [ActivityType] = [] ) { self.start = start self.end = end self.codeRawValue = code?.rawValue self.activitiesRawValue = Self.serializeActivities(activities) } I have set up the following in the AppDelegate for registering for remote notifications as well as some logging to console that the remote notification token was received and to be notified when when I am receiving remote notifications. private final class TimeTrackerAppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate { func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ notification: Notification) { print("📡 [Push] Registering for remote notifications") NSApplication.shared.registerForRemoteNotifications() } func application(_ application: NSApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: Data) { let tokenPreview = deviceToken.map { String(format: "%02x", $0) }.joined().prefix(16) print("✅ [Push] Registered for remote notifications (token prefix: \(tokenPreview)...)") } func application(_ application: NSApplication, didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError error: Error) { let nsError = error as NSError print("❌ [Push] Failed to register for remote notifications: \(nsError.domain) (\(nsError.code)) \(nsError.localizedDescription)") } func application(_ application: NSApplication, didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [String: Any]) { print("📬 [Push] Received remote notification: \(userInfo)") } } In testing, I run the same commit from Xcode on two different Macs logged into the same iCloud account. My problem is that sync is not reliably working. Starting up the app on both Macs shows that the app successfully registered for remote notifications. Sometimes, making an edit on Mac 1 is immediately reflected in Mac 2 UI along with didReceiveRemoteNotification message (all occurring while the Mac 2 app remains in foreground). Sometimes, the Mac 2 app needs to be backgrounded and re-foregrounded before the UI shows the updated data. Sometimes, an edit on Mac 2 will show on Mac 1 only after re-foregrounded but not show any didReceiveRemoteNotification on the Mac 1 console. Sometimes, an edit on Mac 2 will not show at all on Mac 1 even after re-foregrounding the app. Sometimes, no edits sync between either Mac. I had read about how a few years back, there was a bug in macOS where testing iCloud sync between Macs did not work while running from Xcode but would work in TestFlight. For me, running my app in TestFlight on both Macs has never been able to sync any edits between the Macs. Any idea where I might be going wrong. It seems this should not be this hard and should not be failing so inconsistently. Wondering what I might be doing wrong here.

Xcode 26: Sendable checking + NSManagedObjectContext.perform in Swift 6
I have some code which handles doing some computation on a background thread before updating Core Data NSManagedObjects by using the NSManagedObjectContext.perform functions. This code is covered in Sendable warnings in Xcode 26 (beta 6) because my NSManagedObject subclasses (autogenerated) are non-Sendable and NSManagedObjectContext.perform function takes a Sendable closure. But I can't really figure out what I should be doing. I realize this pattern is non-ideal for Swift concurrency, but it's what Core Data demands AFAIK. How do I deal with this? let moc = object.managedObjectContext! try await moc.perform { object.completed = true // Capture of 'object' with non-Sendable type 'MySpecialObject' in a '@Sendable' closure try moc.save() } Thanks in advance for your help!

Avoid Duplicate Records with CloudKit & CoreData
When my app starts it loads data (of vehicle models, manufacturers, ...) from JSON files into CoreData.  This content is static. Some CoreData entities have fields that can be set by the user, for example an isFavorite boolean field. How do I tell CloudKit that my CoreData objects are 'static' and must not be duplicated on other devices (that will also load it from JSON files). In other words, how can I make sure that the CloudKit knows that the record created from JSON for vehicle model XYZ on one device is the same record that was created from JSON on any other device? I'm using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer.

CKSyncEngine: Duplicate FetchedRecordZoneChanges & Sync Handling Questions
Hi everyone, I've recently implemented CKSyncEngine in my app, and I have two questions regarding its behavior: Duplicate FetchedRecordZoneChanges After Sending Changes: I’ve noticed that the engine sometimes receives a FetchedRecordZoneChanges event containing modifications and deletions that were just sent by the same device a few moments earlier. This event arrives after the SentRecordZoneChanges event, and both events share the same recordChangeTag, which results in double-handling the record. Is this expected behavior? I’d like to confirm if this is how CKSyncEngine works or if I might be overlooking something. Handling Initial Sync with a "Sync Screen": When a user opens the app for the first time and already has data stored in iCloud, I need to display a "Sync Screen" temporarily to prevent showing partial data or triggering abrupt, rapid UI changes. I’ve found that canceling current operations, then awaiting sendChanges() and fetchChanges() works well to ensure data is fully synced before dismissing the sync screen: displaySyncScreen = true await syncEngine.cancelOperations() try await syncEngine.sendChanges() try await syncEngine.fetchChanges() displaySyncScreen = false However, I’m unsure if canceling operations like this could lead to data loss or other issues. Is this a safe approach, or would you recommend a better strategy for handling this initial sync state?

SwiftData property marked ephemeral getting persisted in CloudKit
Am I misunderstanding the expected behavior here, or is there a bug in the behavior of @Attribute(.ephemeral) tagged SwiftData model properties? The documentation for .ephemeral says "Track changes to this property but do not persist". I started using .ephemeral because @Transient was inhibiting SwiftUI from reacting to changes to the property through @Observable. I am updating the value of my @Attribute(.ephemeral) property about once a second and I am seeing corresponding console log output showing the property as part of the generated CKRecord object. I then confirmed in the CloudKit dev portal that the .ephemeral property was added to the Record schema and contains real values. The behavior seems as though the .ephemeral property is being completely ignored. This is observed in a new Xcode project using SwiftData with CloudKit, Xcode 16.2, macOS 15.3.1 and during Build & Run testing on physical devices.

SwiftData - Cloudkit stopped syncing
I have an app that from day 1 has used Swiftdata and successfully sync'd across devices with Cloudkit. I have added models to the data in the past and deployed the schema and it continued to sync across devices. Sometime I think in June.2025 I added a new model and built out the UI to display and manage it. I pushed a version to Test Flight (twice over a matter of 2 versions and a couple of weeks) and created objects in the new model in Test Flight versions of the app which should push the info to Cloudkit to update the schema. When I go to deploy the schema though there are no changes. I confirmed in the app that Cloudkit is selected and it's point to the correct container. And when I look in Cloudkit the new model isn't listed as an indes. I've pushed deploy schema changes anyway (more than once) and now the app isn't sync-ing across devices at all (even the pre-existing models aren't sync-ing across devices). I even submitted the first updated version to the app store and it was approved and released. I created objects in the new model in production which I know doesn't create the indexes in the development environment. But this new model functions literally everywhere except Cloudkit and I don't know what else to do to trigger an update.

SwiftData crash on adding sort argument to Query
Experiencing a crash that is only reproducible on TestFlight or AppStore version of the app, note this does not happen when running from Xcode. I've isolated the problem to sort argument being added to @Query that fetches a model that sorts based on inherited property. To reproduce: @Model class SuperModel { var createdAt: Date = .now } @available(macOS 26.0, *) @Model class SubModel: SuperModel { } @Query(sort: \SubModel.createdAt, animation: .default) private var models: [SubModel]
