Hi all,
has anybody found the trick how to get SwiftData working with SpotLight Search?
Setting the attribute "spotlight" in the Model definition seems to do nothing at all, as pointed out by Paul Hudson in his new book as well
(https://www.hackingwithswift.com/quick-start/swiftdata/how-to-index-swiftdata-objects-in-spotlight)
Thanks a lot!
Hi guys. Can someone please confirm this bug so I report it? The issue is that SwiftData relationships don't update the views in some specific situations on devices running iOS 18 Beta. One clear example is with CloudKit. I created a small example for testing. The following code creates two @models, one to store bands and another to store their records. The following code works with no issues. (You need to connect to a CloudKit container and test it on two devices)
import SwiftUI
import SwiftData
struct ContentView: View {
@Environment(\.modelContext) private var modelContext
@Query private var records: [Record]
var body: some View {
NavigationStack {
List(records) { record in
VStack(alignment: .leading) {
Text(record.title)
Text(record.band?.name ?? "Undefined")
}
}
.toolbar {
ToolbarItem {
Button("Add Record") {
let randomNumber = Int.random(in: 1...100)
let newBand = Band(name: "New Band \(randomNumber)", records: nil)
modelContext.insert(newBand)
let newRecord = Record(title: "New Record \(randomNumber)", band: newBand)
modelContext.insert(newRecord)
}
}
}
}
}
}
@Model
final class Record {
var title: String = ""
var band: Band?
init(title: String, band: Band?) {
self.title = title
self.band = band
}
}
@Model
final class Band {
var name: String = ""
var records: [Record]?
init(name: String, records: [Record]?) {
self.name = name
self.records = records
}
}
This view includes a button at the top to add a new record associated with a new band. The data appears on both devices, but if you include more views inside the List, the views on the second device are not updated to show the values of the relationships. For example, if you extract the row to a separate view, the second device shows the relationships as "Undefined". You can try the following code.
struct ContentView: View {
@Environment(\.modelContext) private var modelContext
@Query private var records: [Record]
var body: some View {
NavigationStack {
List {
ForEach(records) { record in
RecordRow(record: record)
}
}
.toolbar {
ToolbarItem {
Button("Add Record") {
let randomNumber = Int.random(in: 1...100)
let newBand = Band(name: "New Band \(randomNumber)", records: nil)
modelContext.insert(newBand)
let newRecord = Record(title: "New Record \(randomNumber)", band: newBand)
modelContext.insert(newRecord)
}
}
}
}
}
}
struct RecordRow: View {
let record: Record
var body: some View {
VStack(alignment: .leading) {
Text(record.title)
Text(record.band?.name ?? "Undefined")
}
}
}
Here I use a ForEach loop and move the row to a separate view. Now on the second device the relationships are nil, so the row shows the text "Undefined" instead of the name of the band.
I attached an image from my iPad. I inserted all the information on my iPhone. The first three rows were inserted with the first view. But the last two rows were inserted after I extracted the rows to a separate view. Here you can see that the relationships are nil and therefore shown as "Undefined". The views are not updated to show the real value of the relationship.
This example shows the issue with CloudKit, but this also happens locally in some situations. The system doesn't detect updates in relationships and therefore doesn't refresh the views.
Please, let me know if you can reproduce the issue. I'm using Mac Sequoia 15.1, and two devices with iOS 18.0.
Hi, I'm working on a macOS app that utilizes SwiftData to save some user generated content to their private databases.
It is not clear to me at which point the app I made starts using the production database. I assumed that if I produce a Release build that it will be using the prod db, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I made the mistake of distributing my app to users before "going to prod" with CloudKit. So after I realized what I had done, I inspected my CloudKit dashboard and records and I found the following:
For my personal developer account the data is saved in the Developer database correctly and I can inspect it.
When I use the "Act as iCloud account" feature and use one of my other accounts to inspect the data, I notice that for the other user, the data is neither in the Development environment nor the Production environment. Which leads me to believe it is only stored locally on that user's machine, since the app does in fact work, it's just not syncing with other devices of the same user.
So, my question is: how do I "deploy to production"?
I know that there is a Deploy Schema Changes button in the CloudKit dashboard. At which point should I press that? If I press it now, before distributing a new version of my app, will that somehow "signal" the already running apps on user's machines to start using the Production database?
Is there a setting in Xcode that I need to check for my Release build, so that the app does in fact start using the production db?
Is there a way to detect in the code whether the app is using the Production database or not? It would be useful so I can write appropriate migration logic, since I don't want to loose existing data users already have saved locally.

I have a model with a FamilyActivitySelection, currently i'm using a codable struct to store it with UserDefaults, but would prefer strongly to transition to Swift Data
Hi,
I have developed a calendar app with swiftData. I have set it to sync iCloud. When testing it, it seems that everything is fine. But after it's released, today, I uninstalled it and reinstalled it again. And I found that iCloud hasn't sync with local swiftData for six days. I have lost six days agenda and relevant information. I have checked the document, and it's said that there is no method to force to sync with iCloud. How to solve the issue? I think that the users can't forgive that it hasn't synced for six days.
Best Wishes,

Hi,
Before the iOS 17.2 update the saving behavior of SwiftData was very straightforward, by default it saves to persistence storage and can be configured to save in memory only. Now it saves to memory by default and to make it save to persistence storage we need to use modelContext.Save(). But if we don't quit the App the changes will be saved after a while to persistence storage even without running modelContext.Save() ! How confusing can that be for both developer and the user ! Am I missing something here ?

I'm testing my app before releasing to testers, and my app (both macOS and iOS) is crashing when I perform one operation, but only in the production build.
I have data that loads from a remote source, and can be periodically updated. There is an option to delete all of that data from the iCloud data store, unless the user has modified a record. Each table has a flag to indicate that (userEdited). Here's the function that is crashing:
func deleteCommonData<T:PersistentModel & SDBuddyModel>(_ type: T.Type) throws {
try modelContext.delete(model: T.self, where: #Predicate<T> { !$0.userEdited })
}
Here's one of the calls that results in a crash:
try modelManager.deleteCommonData(Link.self)
Here's the error from iOS Console:
SwiftData/DataUtilities.swift:85: Fatal error: Couldn't find \Link.<computed 0x0000000104b9d208 (Bool)> on Link with fields [SwiftData.Schema.PropertyMetadata(name: "id", keypath: \Link.<computed 0x0000000104b09b44 (String)>, defaultValue: Optional("54EC6602-CA7C-4EC7-AC06-16E7F2E22DE7"), metadata: nil), SwiftData.Schema.PropertyMetadata(name: "name", keypath: \Link.<computed 0x0000000104b09b84 (String)>, defaultValue: Optional(""), metadata: nil), SwiftData.Schema.PropertyMetadata(name: "url", keypath: \Link.<computed 0x0000000104b09bc4 (String)>, defaultValue: Optional(""), metadata: nil), SwiftData.Schema.PropertyMetadata(name: "desc", keypath: \Link.<computed 0x0000000104b09c04 (String)>, defaultValue: Optional(""), metadata: nil), SwiftData.Schema.PropertyMetadata(name: "userEdited", keypath: \Link.<computed 0x0000000104b09664 (Bool)>, defaultValue: Optional(false), metadata: nil), SwiftData.Schema.PropertyMetadata(name: "modified", keypath: \Link.<computed 0x0000000104b09c44 (Date)>, defaultVal<…>

It works if I do the following instead:
try modelContext.delete(model: Link.self, where: #Predicate { !$0.userEdited })
Why would the func call work in development, but crash in production? And why does doing the more verbose way work instead?
I think this is a bug.

I implemented the cloudkit function, where users can connect with each other. The problem is, that if User A is doing a friend request and User B is accepting the request. The friend entry is correct visible for User B but not for User A. I can see in cloud kit that after the accepted request, the friend connection is set up correctly, also with the correct userID, but it not showing up for User A (the one that send the request)

I am using cloudkit to save users high scores in a public database. The preference over using Game Center is because of simplicity and works really well for what I want to achieve. I simply want to let users know their global position. Because of data privacy laws the app asks the user for their permission to submit their score each time they get a new high score.
However, I have noticed that CKRecords under 'created' and 'modified' in addition to UTC time and date also contain creatorUserRecordID. Could this be a privacy issue? Can you extract any personal information from this? Can this be used to track back to the user? Is it linked to CKUserIdentity which I understand does contain personal information, although as I understand you need users consent to get this information. Under creatorUserRecordID it says... "Every user of the app has a unique user record that is empty by default. Apps can add data to the user record on behalf of the user, but don’t store sensitive data in it"
Currently I simply ask the user if they are happy to submit their score. But do I need to point out that it also stores a creatorUserRecordID? Obviously I don't want to do this if it is not needed as the user will 1) Probably not understand what a creatorUserRecordID is and 2) It makes the question complicated and will likely make most people refuse to submit their score.
If it is a privacy issue, is there anyway to stop a CKRecord creating this ID and simply save a score? All I need is a list of scores so the app can determine their current position.
If creatorUserRecordID does not contain any personal details and cannot be tracked back to the user please let me know, so I can be reassured that my current set up is fine and I am not causing any privacy issues!
This post did seem to indicate you may possibly be able to fetch personal details??

My project is using swiftData and I want to implement iCloud sync in it. Now, my data base doesnt have any optional attributes or relationships and CloudKit wants them to be optional.
So, rather than editing all code with unwrapping code for the optionals, how can I provide a bridge that does so in the last stage of actually saving to the store? Sort of, capture it in a proxy object before writing and after reading from the store.
Is there a neat way that can save a lot of debugging? I have code snippets from chat gpt and they are hard to debug. This is my first project in swiftUI.
Thanks.

Hi there
We're using CloudKit in our app which, generally, syncs data perfectly between devices. However, recently the sync has stopped working (some changes will never sync and the sync is delayed for several days even with the app open on all devices). CloudKit's logs show the error „You can't save and delete the same record" and „Already have a mirrored relationship registered for this key", etc. We’ve a hunch that this issue is related to a mirrored relationship of one database entity.
Our scenario:
We've subclassed the database entities.
The database model (which we can't share publicly) contains mirrored relationships.
We store very long texts in the database (similar to a Word document that contains markup data – in case that’s relevant).
Deleting all data and starting with a completely new container and bundle identifier didn’t help (we tried that multiple times).
This issue occurs on macOS (15.2(24C101) as well on iOS (18.2).
Any hints on how to get the sync working again? Should we simply avoid mirrored relationships?
Many thanks
When I tried to use a working project with iOS 18 installed on my device, it wouldn't work anymore and crash right away. Before with iOS 17 it was working fine.
I can't access child variables that are saved in an Array in a parent object in SwiftData. The error is always somewhere in these hidden lines:
{
@storageRestrictions(accesses: _$backingData, initializes: _title)
init(initialValue) {
_$backingData.setValue(forKey: \.title, to: initialValue)
_title = _SwiftDataNoType()
}
get {
_$observationRegistrar.access(self, keyPath: \.title)
return self.getValue(forKey: \.title)
}
set {
_$observationRegistrar.withMutation(of: self, keyPath: \.title) {
self.setValue(forKey: \.title, to: newValue)
}
}
}
The child classes are also inserted and saved into the modelContext when created and set to the parent instance, but I also can't fetch them via modelContext.fetch() - Error here is:
Thread 1: EXC_BREAKPOINT (code=1, subcode=0x243a62a4c)
Maybe there is a problem with the relationship between two saved instances.
The parent instances are saved correctly and it was working in iOS 17.
The problem is similar to these two cases:
https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/762679
https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/738983
I changed the logic after I reviewed these threads, as I am now linking the parent and child instances, that got rid of one warning in the console.
button.canvas = canvas
modelContext.insert(button)
canvas.buttons = [button]
But in the end those threads were not enough for me to find a fix for my problem.

Hello !
I am using this iCloud key value pair mechanism to save small app configuration between iOS and tvOS.
I would say it is working. But when I go back and forth between debug and release (TestFlight) modes, it is like both apps are not connected anymore.
I spend a lot of time restarting all devices, rebuilding, activating / deactivating iCloud capabilities in the Xcode project.
It is like the app is mixing debug and release data.
Is there an easy way to check what is happening exactly ? I know there's nothing on CloudKit console, so ....
Thank you

I have a project that currently has data saved locally and I'm trying to get it to sync over multiple devices.
Currently basic data is syncing perfectly fine, but I'm having issues getting the images to convert to data. From what I've researched it because I'm using a UIImage to convert and this caches the image
It works fine when there's only a few images, but if there's several its a pain
The associated code
func updateLocalImages() {
autoreleasepool {
let fetchRequest: NSFetchRequest<Project> = Project.fetchRequest()
fetchRequest.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "converted = %d", false)
fetchRequest.sortDescriptors = [NSSortDescriptor(keyPath: \Project.statusOrder?.sortOrder, ascending: true), NSSortDescriptor(keyPath: \Project.name, ascending: true)]
do {
let projects = try viewContext.fetch(fetchRequest)
for project in projects {
currentPicNumber = 0
currentProjectName = project.name ?? "Error loading project"
if let pictures = project.pictures {
projectPicNumber = pictures.count
for pic in pictures {
currentPicNumber = currentPicNumber + 1
let picture : Picture = pic as! Picture
if let imgData = convertImage(picture: picture) {
picture.pictureData = imgData
}
}
project.converted = true
saveContext()
}
}
} catch {
print("Fetch Failed")
}
}
}
func convertImage(picture : Picture)-> Data? {
let paths = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)
let path = paths[0]
if let picName = picture.pictureName {
let imagePath = path.appendingPathComponent(picName)
if let uiImage = UIImage(contentsOfFile: imagePath.path) {
if let imageData = uiImage.jpegData(compressionQuality: 0.5) {
return imageData
}
}
}
return nil
}```
I am working on a SwiftUI project using Core Data. I have an entity called AppleUser in my data model, with the following attributes: id (UUID), name (String), email (String), password (String), and createdAt (Date). All attributes are non-optional.
I created the corresponding Core Data class files (AppleUser+CoreDataClass.swift and AppleUser+CoreDataProperties.swift) using Xcode’s automatic generation. I also have a PersistenceController that initializes the NSPersistentContainer with the model name JobLinkModel.
When I try to save a new AppleUser object using:
let user = AppleUser(context: viewContext)
user.id = UUID()
user.name = "User1"
user.email = "..."
user.password = "password1"
user.createdAt = Date()【The email is correctly formatted, but it has been replaced with “…” for privacy reasons】
try? viewContext.save()
I get the following error in the console:Core Data save failed: Foundation._GenericObjCError.nilError, [:]
User snapshot: ["id": ..., "name": "User1", "email": "...", "password": "...", "createdAt": ...]
All fields have valid values, and the Core Data model seems correct. I have also tried:
• Checking that the model name in NSPersistentContainer(name:) matches the .xcdatamodeld file (JobLinkModel)
• Ensuring the AppleUser entity Class, Module, and Codegen are correctly set (Class Definition, Current Product Module)
• Deleting duplicate or old AppleUser class files
• Cleaning Xcode build folder and deleting the app from the simulator
• Using @Environment(.managedObjectContext) for the context
Despite all this, I still get _GenericObjCError.nilError when saving a new AppleUser object.
I want to understand:
1. Why is Core Data failing to save even though all fields are non-nil and correctly assigned?
2. Could this be caused by some residual old class files, or is there something else in the setup that I am missing?
3. What steps should I take to ensure that Core Data properly recognizes the AppleUser entity and allows saving?
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Developer Community,
I'm experiencing a critical issue with CloudKit schema deployment that's blocking my app release. I've been trying to resolve this for several days and would appreciate any assistance from the community or Apple engineers.
Issue Description
I'm unable to deploy my CloudKit schema from development to production environment. When attempting to deploy through the CloudKit Dashboard, I either get an "Internal Error" message or the deployment button is disabled.
Environment Details
App: Reef Trak (Reef aquarium tracking app)
CloudKit Container: ************
Development Environment: Schema fully defined and working correctly
Production Environment: No schema deployed (confirmed in dashboard)
What I've Tried
Using the "Deploy Schema to Production" button in CloudKit Dashboard (results in "Internal Error")
Exporting schema from development and importing to production (fails)
Using CloudKit CLI tools with API token (results in "invalid-scope" errors)
Waiting 24-48 hours between attempts in case of propagation delays
Current Status
App works perfectly in development environment (when run from Xcode)
In TestFlight/sideloaded builds (production environment), the app attempts to fetch records but fails with "Did not find record type: Tank" errors
Log snippet showing the issue:
[2025-03-21] [CloudKit] Schema creation failed: Error saving record <CKRecordID: 0x******; recordName=SchemaSetup_Tank_-**---****, zoneID=_defaultZone:defaultOwner> to server: Cannot create new type Tank in production schema [2025-03-21] [CloudKit] Failed to create schema for Tank after 3 attempts [2025-03-21] [CloudKit] Error creating schema for Tank: Error saving record <CKRecordID: 0x****; recordName=SchemaSetup_Tank_---**-**********, zoneID=_defaultZone:defaultOwner> to server: Cannot create new type Tank in production schema
App Architecture & Critical Impact
My app "Reef Trak" is built around a core data model where the "Tank" entity serves as the foundational element of the entire application architecture. The Tank entity is not just another data type - it's the primary container that establishes the hierarchical relationship for all other entities:
All parameter measurements (pH, temperature, salinity, etc.) are associated with specific tanks
All maintenance tasks and schedules are tank-specific
All livestock (fish, corals, invertebrates) exist within the context of a tank
All user achievements and progress tracking depend on tank-related activities
Without the Tank schema being properly deployed to production, users experience what appears to be a completely empty application, despite successful authentication and CloudKit connection. The app shows "Successfully retrieved iCloud data" but displays no content because:
The Tank record type doesn't exist in production
Without Tanks, all child entities (even if their schemas existed) have no parent to associate with
This creates a cascading failure where no data can be displayed or saved
This issue effectively renders the entire application non-functional in production, despite working flawlessly in development. Users are left with an empty shell of an app that cannot fulfill its core purpose of reef tank management and monitoring.
The inability to deploy the Tank schema to production is therefore not just a minor inconvenience but a complete blocker for the app's release and functionality.
Questions
Is there an alternative method to deploy schema to production that I'm missing?
Could there be an issue with my account permissions or container configuration?
Are there known issues with the CloudKit Dashboard deployment functionality?
What's the recommended approach when the dashboard deployment fails?
I've also submitted a Technical Support Incident, but I'm hoping to get this resolved quickly as it's blocking my App Store release.
Thank you for any assistance!

iCloud & Data
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?
I am trying to read and write a text file from an App written in Swift in XCode directly to the "iCloud Drive" folder in Files on the iPhone.
The app worked readlly reading and writing to the Documents folder in the App container, and then readily to the "On My iPhone" folder in Files after adding 2 lines to the plist that I found in a search online.
But I have been unable to get to the iCloud Drive folder.
I found an item called "Enabling Document Storage in iCloud Drive" in "iCloud Design Guide" with additional plist entries that states "These settings allow iCloud Drive to provide public access to the files stored in your app’s container":
NSUbiquitousContainers
iCloud.com.example.MyApp
NSUbiquitousContainerIsDocumentScopePublic
NSUbiquitousContainerSupportedFolderLevels
Any
NSUbiquitousContainerName
MyApp
I think I changed the MyApp items appropriately.
I have enabled iCloud in my App and the XCode General, and Signing entries.
But this does not work. There are no error messages and no "Steps" shown in the "Capabilities" entry in Xcode.
A little help? :-)
