Testing Environment: iOS 18.4.1 / macOS 15.4.1 I am working on an iOS project that aims to utilize the user's iCloud Drive documents directory to save a specific directory-based file structure. Essentially, the app would create a root directory where the user chooses in iCloud Drive, then it would populate user generated files in various levels of nested directories. I have been attempting to use NSMetadataQuery with various predicates and search scopes but haven't been able to get it to directly monitor changes to files or directories that are not in the root directory. Instead, it only monitors files or directories in the root directory, and any changes in a subdirectory are considered an update to the direct children of the root directory. Example iCloud Drive Documents (Not app's ubiquity container) User Created Root Directory (Being monitored) File A Directory A File B An insertion or deletion within Directory A would only return a notification with userInfo containing data for NSMetadataQueryUpdateChangedItemsKey relating to Directory A, and not the file or directory itself that was inserted or deleted. (Query results array also only contain the direct children.) I have tried all combinations of these search scopes and predicates with no luck: query.searchScopes = [ rootDirectoryURL, NSMetadataQueryUbiquitousDocumentsScope, NSMetadataQueryAccessibleUbiquitousExternalDocumentsScope, ] NSPredicate(value: true) NSPredicate(format: "%K LIKE '*.md'", NSMetadataItemFSNameKey) NSPredicate(format: "%K BEGINSWITH %@", NSMetadataItemPathKey, url.path(percentEncoded: false)) I do see these warnings in the console upon starting my query: [CRIT] UNREACHABLE: failed to get container URL for com.apple.CloudDocs [ERROR] couldn't fetch remote operation IDs: NSError: Cocoa 257 "The file couldn’t be opened because you don’t have permission to view it." "Error returned from daemon: Error Domain=com.apple.accounts Code=7 "(null)"" But I am not sure what to make of that, since it does act normally for finding updates in the root directory. Hopefully this isn't a limitation of the API, as the only alternative I could think of would be to have multiple queries running for each nested directory that I needed updates for.

Hello, thank you Apple for supporting custom store with SwiftData and the Schema type is superb to work with. I have successfully set one up with SQL and have some feedback and issues regarding its APIs. There’s a highlighted message in the documentation about not using internal restricted symbols directly, but they contradict with the given protocols and I am concerned about breaking any App Store rules. Are we allowed to use these? If not, they should be opened up as they’re useful. BackingData is required to set up custom snapshots, initialization, and getting/setting values. And I want to use it with createBackingData() to directly initialize instances from snapshots when transferring them between server and client or concurrency. RelationshipCollection for casting to-many relationships from backing data or checking if an array contains a PersistentModel. SchemaProperty for type erasure in a collection. Schema.Relationship has KeyPath properties, but it is missing for Schema.Attribute and Schema.CompositeAttribute. Which means you can’t purely depend on the schema to map data. I am unable to access the properties of a custom struct type in a predicate unless I use Mirror with schemaMetadata() or CustomStringConvertible on the KeyPath directly to extract it. Trivial, but… the KeyPath property name is inconsistent (it’s all lowercase). It would be nice to retrieve property names from custom struct types, since you are unable access CodingKeys that are auto synthesized by Codable for structs. But I recently realized they’re a part Schema.CompositeAttribute, however I don’t know how to match these without the KeyPath… I currently map my entities using CodingKeys to their PredicateCodableKeyPathProviding.… but I wish for a simpler alternative! It’s unclear how to provide the schema to the snapshot before new models are created. I currently use a static property, but I want to make it flexible if more schemas and configurations are added later on. I considered saving and loading the schema in a temporary location, but doubtful that the KeyPath values will be available as they are not Codable. I suspect schemaMetadata() has the information I need to map the backing data without a schema for snapshots, but as mentioned previously, properties are inaccessible… Allow access to entity metatypes, like value types from SchemaProperty. They’re useful for getting data out of snapshots and casting them to CodingKeys and PredicateCodableKeyPathProviding. They do not carry over when you provide them in the Schema. I am unable to retrieve the primary key from PersistentIdentifier. It seems like once you create one, you can’t get it out, like the DataStoreConfiguration in ModelContainer is not the one you used to set it up. I cannot cast it, it is an entirely different struct? I have to use JSONSerialization to extract it, but I want to get it directly since it is not a column in my database. It is transformed when it goes to/from my tables. It’s unknown how to support some schema options, such as Spotlight and CloudKit. Allow for extending macro options, such as adding options to set as primary key, whether to auto increment, etc… You can create a schema for super and sub entities, but it doesn’t appear you can actually set them up from the @Model macro or use inheritance on these models… SwiftData history tracking seems incomplete for HistoryDelete, because that protocol requires HistoryTombstone, but this type cannot be instantiated, nor does it contain anything useful to infer from. As an aside, I want to create my own custom ModelActor that is a global actor. However, I’m unable to replicate the executor that Apple provides where the executor has a ModelContext, because this type does not conform to Sendable. So how did Apple do this? The documentation doesn’t mention unchecked Sendable, but I figure if the protocol is available then we would be able to set up our own. And please add concurrency features! Anyway, I hope for more continued support in the future and I am looking forward to what’s new this WWDC! 😊

I am trying to save to cloud kit shared database. The shared database does not allow zones to be set up.

Hi! I use Tips with CloudKit and it works very well, however when a user want to remove their data from CloudKit, how to do that? In CoreData with CloudKit area, NSPersistentCloudKitContainer have purgeObjectsAndRecordsInZone to delete both local managed objects and CloudKit records, however there is no information about the TipKit deletion. Does anyone know ideas?

I am following Apple's instruction to sync SwiftData with CloudKit. While initiating the ModelContainer, right after removing the store from Core Data, the error occurs: FAULT: NSInternalInconsistencyException: This NSPersistentStoreCoordinator has no persistent stores (unknown). It cannot perform a save operation.; (user info absent) I've tried removing default.store and its related files/folders before creating the ModelContainer with FileManager but it does not resolve the issue. Isn't it supposed to create a new store when the ModelContainer is initialized? I don't understand why this error occurs. Error disappears when I comment out the #if DEBUG block. Code: import CoreData import SwiftData import SwiftUI struct InitView: View { @Binding var modelContainer: ModelContainer? @Binding var isReady: Bool @State private var loadingDots = "" @State private var timer: Timer? var body: some View { VStack(spacing: 16) { Text("Loading\(loadingDots)") .font(.title2) .foregroundColor(.gray) } .padding() .onAppear { startAnimation() registerTransformers() let config = ModelConfiguration() let newContainer: ModelContainer do { #if DEBUG // Use an autorelease pool to make sure Swift deallocates the persistent // container before setting up the SwiftData stack. try autoreleasepool { let desc = NSPersistentStoreDescription(url: config.url) let opts = NSPersistentCloudKitContainerOptions(containerIdentifier: "iCloud.my-container-identifier") desc.cloudKitContainerOptions = opts // Load the store synchronously so it completes before initializing the // CloudKit schema. desc.shouldAddStoreAsynchronously = false if let mom = NSManagedObjectModel.makeManagedObjectModel(for: [Page.self]) { let container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: "Pages", managedObjectModel: mom) container.persistentStoreDescriptions = [desc] container.loadPersistentStores { _, err in if let err { fatalError(err.localizedDescription) } } // Initialize the CloudKit schema after the store finishes loading. try container.initializeCloudKitSchema() // Remove and unload the store from the persistent container. if let store = container.persistentStoreCoordinator.persistentStores.first { try container.persistentStoreCoordinator.remove(store) } } // let fileManager = FileManager.default // let sqliteURL = config.url // let urls: [URL] = [ // sqliteURL, // sqliteURL.deletingLastPathComponent().appendingPathComponent("default.store-shm"), // sqliteURL.deletingLastPathComponent().appendingPathComponent("default.store-wal"), // sqliteURL.deletingLastPathComponent().appendingPathComponent(".default_SUPPORT"), // sqliteURL.deletingLastPathComponent().appendingPathComponent("default_ckAssets") // ] // for url in urls { // try? fileManager.removeItem(at: url) // } } #endif newContainer = try ModelContainer(for: Page.self, configurations: config) // ERROR!!! } catch { fatalError(error.localizedDescription) } modelContainer = newContainer isReady = true } .onDisappear { stopAnimation() } } private func startAnimation() { timer = Timer.scheduledTimer( withTimeInterval: 0.5, repeats: true ) { _ in updateLoadingDots() } } private func stopAnimation() { timer?.invalidate() timer = nil } private func updateLoadingDots() { if loadingDots.count > 2 { loadingDots = "" } else { loadingDots += "." } } } import CoreData import SwiftData import SwiftUI @main struct MyApp: App { @State private var modelContainer: ModelContainer? @State private var isReady: Bool = false var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { if isReady, let modelContainer = modelContainer { ContentView() .modelContainer(modelContainer) } else { InitView(modelContainer: $modelContainer, isReady: $isReady) } } } }

Greetings i have an app that uses three different SwiftData models and i want to know what is the best way to use the them accross the app. I though a centralized behaviour and i want to know if it a correct approach.First let's suppose that the first view of the app will load the three models using the @Enviroment that work with @Observation. Then to other views that add data to the swiftModels again with the @Environment. Another View that will use the swiftData models with graph and datas for average and min and max.Is this a corrent way? or i should use @Query in every view that i want and ModelContext when i add the data. @Observable class CentralizedDataModels { var firstDataModel: [FirstDataModel] = [] var secondDataModel: [SecondDataModel] = [] var thirdDataModel: [ThirdDataModel] = [] let context: ModelContext init(context:ModelContext) { self.context = context } }

Hi, I'm implementing iCloud backup functionality in my web application using CloudKit JS, but I'm running into some issues. I'd appreciate any help you can provide. Issue: The iCloud backup feature isn't working properly in our web app. I believe I've correctly set up the Apple Developer Program registration and API token generation. While a demo implementation works perfectly with iCloud backup, our app implementation is failing. Specifically: "Sign in with Apple" succeeds However, ck.getDefaultContainer().setupAuth() returns null In the working demo, setupAuth() returns a proper value Even after logging in through the redirect URL provided in the "421 Misdirected Request" error response and executing setupAuth(), it still returns null I've essentially copied the working demo code directly, so I suspect the issue might be related to token generation, permissions, or account configuration. Questions: Could you provide detailed step-by-step instructions for implementing iCloud backup in a web application? I've noticed there are configuration items in the Developer Console and Certificates console, so I may have missed something in one of these areas. Based on the symptoms described, what are the possible causes for setupAuth() returning null in CloudKit JS? Could configuration issues be indirectly causing this, or is it more likely a timing issue or SDK coding problem? Specifically regarding the 421 error and redirect flow - is there something in the configuration that could cause setupAuth() to return null even after successful authentication through the redirect? Thanks in advance for your help!

I have an iOS app using SwiftData with VersionedSchema. The schema is synchronized with an CloudKit container. I previously introduced some model properties that I have now removed, as they are no longer needed. This results in the current schema version being identical to one of the previous ones (except for its version number). This results in the following exception: 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'Duplicate version checksums across stages detected.' So it looks like we cannot have a newer schema version with an identical content to an older schema version. The intuitive way would be to re-add the old (identical) schema version to the end of the "schemas" list property in the SchemaMigrationPlan, in order to signal that it is the newest one, and to add a migration stage back to it, thus: public enum MySchemaMigrationPlan: SchemaMigrationPlan { public static var schemas: [any VersionedSchema.Type] { [ SchemaV100.self, SchemaV101.self, SchemaV100.self ] } public static var stages: [MigrationStage] { [ migrateV100toV101, migrateV101toV100 ] } However, I am not sure if this is the right way to go, as previously, as I wanted to write unit tests for schema migration and rollback, I tried defining an inverse for each migration stage, so that I could trigger a migration and a rollback from a unit test, which resulted in an exception saying that it is not supported to downgrade a VersionedSchema. I must admit that I solved the original problem by introducing a dummy model property that I will later remove. What would have been the correct approach?

Hello 👋, I encounter the "This model instance was invalidated because its backing data could no longer be found the store" crash with SwiftData. Which from what I understood means I try to access a model after it has been removed from the store (makes sense). I made a quick sample to reproduce/better understand because there some case(s) I can't figure it out. Let's take a concrete example, we have Home model and a Home can have many Room(s). // Sample code @MainActor let foo = Foo() // A single reference let database = Database(modelContainer: sharedModelContainer) // A single reference @MainActor class Foo { // Properties to explicilty keep reference of model(s) for the purpose of the POC var _homes = [Home]() var _rooms = [Room]() func fetch() async { let homes = await database.fetch().map { sharedModelContainer.mainContext.model(for: $0) as! Home } print(ObjectIdentifier(homes[0]), homes[0].rooms?.map(\.id)) // This will crash here or not. } // Same version of a delete function with subtle changes. // Depending on the one you use calling delete then fetch will result in a crash or not. // Keep a reference to only homes == NO CRASH func deleteV1() async { self._homes = await database.fetch().map { sharedModelContainer.mainContext.model(for: $0) as! Home } await database.delete() } // Keep a reference to only rooms == NO CRASH func deleteV2() async { self._rooms = await database.fetch().map { sharedModelContainer.mainContext.model(for: $0) as! Home }[0].rooms ?? [] await database.delete() } // Keep a reference to homes & rooms == CRASH 💥 func deleteV3() async { self._homes = await database.fetch().map { sharedModelContainer.mainContext.model(for: $0) as! Home } self._rooms = _homes[0].rooms ?? [] // or even only retain reference to rooms that have NOT been deleted 🤔 like here "id: 2" make it crash // self._rooms = _homes[0].rooms?.filter { r in r.id == "2" } ?? [] await database.delete() } } Calling deleteV() then fetch() will result in a crash or not depending on the scenario. I guess I understand deleteV1, deleteV2. In those case an unsaved model is served by the model(for:) API and accessing properties later on will resolve correctly. The doc says: "The identified persistent model, if known to the context; otherwise, an unsaved model with its persistentModelID property set to persistentModelID." But I'm not sure about deleteV3. It seems the ModelContext is kind of "aware" there is still cyclic reference between my models that are retained in my code so it will serve these instances instead when calling model(for:) API ? I see my home still have 4 rooms (instead of 2). So I then try to access rooms that are deleted and it crash. Why of that ? I mean why not returning home with two room like in deleteV1 ? Because SwiftData heavily rely on CoreData may be I miss a very simple thing here. If someone read this and have a clue for me I would be extremely graceful. PS: If someone wants to run it on his machine here's some helpful code: // Database let sharedModelContainer: ModelContainer = { let schema = Schema([ Home.self, Room.self, ]) let modelConfiguration = ModelConfiguration(schema: schema, isStoredInMemoryOnly: false) debugPrint(modelConfiguration.url.absoluteString.replacing("%20", with: "\\ ")) return try! ModelContainer(for: schema, configurations: [modelConfiguration]) }() extension Database { static let shared = Database(modelContainer: sharedModelContainer) } @ModelActor actor Database { func insert() async { let r1 = Room(id: "1", name: "R1") let r2 = Room(id: "2", name: "R2") let r3 = Room(id: "3", name: "R3") let r4 = Room(id: "4", name: "R4") let home = Home(id: "1", name: "My Home") home.rooms = [r1, r2, r3, r4] modelContext.insert(home) try! modelContext.save() } func fetch() async -> [PersistentIdentifier] { try! modelContext.fetchIdentifiers(FetchDescriptor<Home>()) } @MainActor func delete() async { let mainContext = sharedModelContainer.mainContext try! mainContext.delete( model: Room.self, where: #Predicate { r in r.id == "1" || r.id == "4" } ) try! mainContext.save() // 🤔 Calling fetch here seems to solve crash too, force home relationship to be rebuild correctly ? // let _ = try! sharedModelContainer.mainContext.fetch(FetchDescriptor<Home>()) } } // Models @Model class Home: Identifiable { @Attribute(.unique) public var id: String var name: String @Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade, inverse: \Room.home) var rooms: [Room]? init(id: String, name: String, rooms: [Room]? = nil) { self.id = id self.name = name self.rooms = rooms } } @Model class Room: Identifiable { @Attribute(.unique) public var id: String var name: String var home: Home? init(id: String, name: String, home: Home? = nil) { self.id = id self.name = name self.home = home } }

When creating a new project in Xcode 26, the default for defaultIsolation is MainActor. Core Data creates classes for each entity using code gen, but now those classes are also internally marked as MainActor, which causes issues when accessing managed object from a background thread like this. Is there a way to fix this warning or should Xcode actually mark these auto generated classes as nonisolated to make this better? Filed as FB13840800. nonisolated struct BackgroundDataHandler { @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 // Main actor-isolated property 'timestamp' can not be mutated from a nonisolated context; this is an error in the Swift 6 language mode try context.save() } } } Turning code gen off inside the model and creating it manually, with the nonisolated keyword, gets rid of the warning and still works fine. So I guess the auto generated class could adopt this as well? public import Foundation public import CoreData public typealias ItemCoreDataClassSet = NSSet @objc(Item) nonisolated public class Item: NSManagedObject { }

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()?

"No records found" If I create a new record on the console, I can copy the record name. I can then query for recordName and get that individual record back. BUT no other queries work. I cannot query all records. I cannot query by individual property. Just returns "no records found" Seems like my indexes got messed up. Is there a way to reset indexes on prod? This is on a coredata.cloudkit managed zone.

I'm trying to use the new (in tvOS 26) video streaming service automatic login API from the VideoSubscriberAccount framework: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/videosubscriberaccount/vsuseraccountmanager/autosignintoken-swift.property It seems that this API requires an entitlement. This document suggests that the com.apple.smoot.subscriptionservice entitlement is required. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/videosubscriberaccount/signing-people-in-to-media-apps-automatically However, it seems more likely that com.apple.developer.video-subscriber-single-sign-on is the correct entitlement. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com.apple.developer.video-subscriber-single-sign-on Which is the correct entitlement and how do I obtain it? I don't want to fully comply with the video partner program. https://developer.apple.com/programs/video-partner/ I just want to use this one new automatic login feature.

Hi, I am experiencing main thread freezes from fetching on Main Actor. Attempting to move the function to a background thread, but whenever I reference the TestModel in a nonisolated context or in another model actor, I get this warning: Main actor-isolated conformance of 'TestModel' to 'PersistentModel' cannot be used in actor-isolated context; this is an error in the Swift 6 language mode Is there a way to do this correctly? Recreation, warning on line 13: class TestModel { var property: Bool = true init() {} } struct SendableTestModel: Sendable { let property: Bool } @ModelActor actor BackgroundActor { func fetch() throws -> [SendableTestModel] { try modelContext.fetch(FetchDescriptor<TestModel>()).map { SendableTestModel(property: $0.property) } } }

Using SwiftData and this is the simplest example I could boil down: @Model final class Item { var timestamp: Date var tag: Tag? init(timestamp: Date) { self.timestamp = timestamp } } @Model final class Tag { var timestamp: Date init(timestamp: Date) { self.timestamp = timestamp } } Notice Tag has no reference to Item. So if I create a bunch of items and set their Tag. Later on I add the ability to delete a Tag. Since I haven't added inverse relationship Item now references a tag that no longer exists so so I get these types of errors: SwiftData/BackingData.swift:875: Fatal error: This model instance was invalidated because its backing data could no longer be found the store. PersistentIdentifier(id: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier.ID(url: x-coredata://EEC1D410-F87E-4F1F-B82D-8F2153A0B23C/Tag/p1), implementation: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifierImplementation) I think I understand now that I just need to add the item reference to Tag and SwiftData will nullify all Item references to that tag when a Tag is deleted. But, the damage is already done. How can I iterate through all Items that referenced a deleted tag and set them to nil or to a placeholder Tag? Or how can I catch that error and fix it when it comes up? The crash doesn't occur when loading an Item, only when accessing item.tag?.timestamp, in fact, item.tag?.id is still ok and doesn't crash since it doesn't have to load the backing data. I've tried things like just looping through all items and setting tag to nil, but saving the model context fails because somewhere in there it still tries to validate the old value. Thanks!

Hi. I'm hoping someone might be able to help us with an issue that's been affecting our standalone watchOS app for some time now. We've encountered consistent crashes on Apple Watch devices when the app enters the background while the device is offline (i.e., no Bluetooth and no Wi-Fi connection). Through extensive testing, we've isolated the problem to the use of NSPersistentCloudKitContainer. When we switch to NSPersistentContainer, the crashes no longer occur. Interestingly, this issue only affects our watchOS app. The same CloudKit-based persistence setup works reliably on our iOS and macOS apps, even when offline. This leads us to believe the issue may be specific to how NSPersistentCloudKitContainer behaves on watchOS when the device is disconnected from the network. We're targeting watchOS 10 and above. We're unsure if this is a misconfiguration on our end or a potential system-level issue, and we would greatly appreciate any insight or guidance.

I want to get to a point where I can use a small view with a query for my SwiftData model like this: @Query private var currentTrainingCycle: [TrainingCycle] init(/*currentDate: Date*/) { _currentTrainingCycle = Query(filter: #Predicate<TrainingCycle> { $0.numberOfDays > 0 // $0.startDate < currentDate && currentDate < $0.endDate }, sort: \.startDate) } The commented code is where I want to go. In this instance, it'd be created as a lazy var in a viewModel to have it stable (and not constantly re-creating the view). Since it was not working, I thought I could check the same view with a query that does not require any dynamic input. In this case, the numberOfDays never changes after instantiation. But still, each time the app tries to create this view, the app becomes unresponsive, the CPU usage goes at 196%, memory goes way high and the device heats up quickly. Am I holding it wrong? How can I have a dynamic predicate on a View in SwiftUI with SwiftData?

Hello, I have 3 model versions and I'm trying to step through migration. Version 2 makes significant changes to v1. As a result, I've renamed the entities in question by appending _v2 to their name, as the data isn't important to retain. v3, remove's the appended version number from v2. Setting the .xcdatamodeld to v3 and the migrations steps array as follows causes the app to error [ NSLightweightMigrationStage([v1]), NSLightweightMigrationStage([v2]), NSLightweightMigrationStage([v3]), ] CoreData: error: <NSPersistentStoreCoordinator: 0x10740d680>: Attempting recovery from error encountered during addPersistentStore: 0x10770f8a0 Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=134110 "An error occurred during persistent store migration." An error occurred during persistent store migration. Cannot merge multiple root entity source tables into one destination entity root table. I find this odd because if I run the migration independently across app launches, the migration appears to drop the no longer used tables in v2, then re-add them back in v3. So it seems to me that something is not finishing completely with the fully stepped through migration. -- I'm also unable to understand how to use NSCustomMigrationStage I've tried setting it to migrate from v1, to v2, but I'm getting a crash with error Duplicate version checksums across stages detected

I have a new app I am working on, it uses, a container id like com.me.mycompany.FancyApp.prod, the description in the app is My Fancy App. When I deploy the app via TestFlight on a real device, the sync seems to work, but when I view iCloud->Storage-List, I see my app icon, and the name "prod". Where did the name prod come from? It should be My Fancy App, which is the actual name of the App.
