error: the replacement path doesn't exist <- how bad is this error, should i care - is it important?
I get this error, i have my own DIKit, and i want to use swiftdata for showing info from persisten model.

SwiftData Many-To-Many Relationship: Failed to fulfill link PendingRelationshipLink
Hi there, I got two models here: Two Models, with Many-To-Many Relationship @Model final class PresetParams: Identifiable { @Attribute(.unique) var id: UUID = UUID() var positionX: Float = 0.0 var positionY: Float = 0.0 var positionZ: Float = 0.0 var volume: Float = 1.0 @Relationship(deleteRule: .nullify, inverse: \Preset.presetAudioParams) var preset = [Preset]() init(position: SIMD3<Float>, volume: Float) { self.positionX = position.x self.positionY = position.y self.positionZ = position.z self.volume = volume self.preset = [] } var position: SIMD3<Float> { get { return SIMD3<Float>(x: positionX, y: positionY, z: positionZ) } set { positionX = newValue.x positionY = newValue.y positionZ = newValue.z } } } @Model final class Preset: Identifiable { @Attribute(.unique) var id: UUID = UUID() var presetName: String var presetDesc: String? var presetAudioParams = [PresetParams]() // Many-To-Many Relationship. init(presetName: String, presetDesc: String? = nil) { self.presetName = presetName self.presetDesc = presetDesc self.presetAudioParams = [] } } To be honest, I don't fully understand how the @Relationship thing works properly in a Many-To-Many relationship situation. Some tutorials suggest that it's required on the "One" side of an One-To-Many Relationship, while the "Many" side doesn't need it. And then there is an ObservableObject called "ModelActors" to manage all ModelActors, ModelContainer, etc. ModelActors, ModelContainer... class ModelActors: ObservableObject { static let shared: ModelActors = ModelActors() let sharedModelContainer: ModelContainer private init() { var schema = Schema([ // ... Preset.self, PresetParams.self, // ... ]) do { sharedModelContainer = try ModelContainer(for: schema, migrationPlan: MigrationPlan.self) } catch { fatalError("Could not create ModelContainer: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } } And there is a migrationPlan: MigrationPlan // MARK: V102 // typealias ... // MARK: V101 typealias Preset = AppSchemaV101.Preset typealias PresetParams = AppSchemaV101.PresetParams // MARK: V100 // typealias ... enum MigrationPlan: SchemaMigrationPlan { static var schemas: [VersionedSchema.Type] { [ AppSchemaV100.self, AppSchemaV101.self, AppSchemaV102.self, ] } static var stages: [MigrationStage] { [AppMigrateV100toV101, AppMigrateV101toV102] } static let AppMigrateV100toV101 = MigrationStage.lightweight(fromVersion: AppSchemaV100.self, toVersion: AppSchemaV101.self) static let AppMigrateV101toV102 = MigrationStage.lightweight(fromVersion: AppSchemaV101.self, toVersion: AppSchemaV102.self) } // MARK: Here is the AppSchemaV101 enum AppSchemaV101: VersionedSchema { static var versionIdentifier: Schema.Version = Schema.Version(1, 0, 1) static var models: [any PersistentModel.Type] { return [ // ... Preset.self, PresetParams.self ] } } Fails on iOS 18.3.x: "Failed to fulfill link PendingRelationshipLink" So I expected the SwiftData subsystem to work correctly with version control. A good news is that on iOS 18.1 it does work. But it fails on iOS 18.3.x with a fatal Error: "SwiftData/SchemaCoreData.swift:581: Fatal error: Failed to fulfill link PendingRelationshipLink(relationshipDescription: (<NSRelationshipDescription: 0x30377fe80>), name preset, isOptional 0, isTransient 0, entity PresetParams, renamingIdentifier preset, validation predicates (), warnings (), versionHashModifier (null)userInfo {}, destination entity Preset, inverseRelationship (null), minCount 0, maxCount 0, isOrdered 0, deleteRule 1, destinationEntityName: "Preset", inverseRelationshipName: Optional("presetAudioParams")), couldn't find inverse relationship 'Preset.presetAudioParams' in model" Fails on iOS 17.5: Another Error I tested it on iOS 17.5 and found another issue: Accessing or mutating the "PresetAudioParams" property causes the SwiftData Macro Codes to crash, affecting both Getter and Setter. It fails with an error: "EXC_BREAKPOINT (code=1, subcode=0x1cc1698ec)" Tweaking the @Relationship marker and ModelContainer settings didn't fix the problem.

SwiftData Lightweight Migraton failed with VersionedSchema
Setup I am running a versionedSchema for my SwiftData model and attempting a migration. The new version contains a new attribute, with a type of a new custom enum defined in the @Model class, a default value, and a private(set). Migration was completed with a migrationPlan with nil values for willMigrate and didMigrate. Example - Previous Version @Model class MyNumber { var num: Int init() { // Init Code } } Example - Newest Version @Model class MyNumber { var num: Int private(set) var rounding: RoundAmount = MyNumber.RoundAmount.thirtyMinute init() { // Init Code } enum RoundAmount { case fiveMinute, tenMinute, thirtyMinute } } Issue Running this code, I get a swiftData error for “SwiftData/ModelCoders.swift:1585: nil value passed for a non-optional keyPath, /MyNumber.rounding” I assume this means a failure of the swiftData lightweight migration? I have reverted the version, removed private(set) and re-tried the migration with no success. Using the versionedSchema with migrationPlans, are lightweight migrations possible? Could this be an issue with the use of a custom enum? Other changes in my actual project migrated successfully so I’m lost on why I’m having this issue.

SwiftData Class Inheritance
Hi, I'm considering using the new SwiftData class inheritance for a new app I'm building. I have a few questions: Is it working well enough for production? I have a number of different object types in my app. Some of them are very similar, and there's always a balance to be struck when it comes to splitting them into different types using class inheritance. Are there some good advice on when to use multiple classes instead of squeezing my object types into a single class? Is there advice against using class inheritance in multiple levels (3-4)? Claes

SwiftData Background Fetching?
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) } } }

Core Data crash while trying to merge
I'm looking for guidance how to mitigate this crash. It seems super deep inside Core Data' FRC fetchedObjects management. In my code, it's initiated by this viewContext.perform { [unowned self] in self.viewContext.mergeChanges(fromContextDidSave: notification) } which is directly followed by the stack trace below.

CloudKit: shared records creatorUserRecordID and lastModifiedUserRecordID
Hi, I am testing a situation with shared CKRecords where the data in the CKRecord syncs fine, but the creatorUserRecordID.recordName and lastModifiedUserRecordID.recordName shows "defaultOwner" (which maps to the CKCurrentUserDefaultName constant) even though I made sure I edit the CKRecord value from a different iCloud account. In fact, on the CloudKit dashboard, it shows the correct user recordIDs in the metadata for the 'Created' and 'Modified' fields, but not in the CKRecord. I am mostly testing this on the iPhone simulator with the debugger attached. Is that a possible reason for this, or is there some other reason the lastModifiedUserRecordID is showing the value for 'CKCurrentUserDefaultName'? It would be pretty difficult to build in functionality to look up changes by a different userID if this is the case.

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

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

Extending @Model with custom macros
I am trying to extend my PersistedModels like so: @Versioned(3) @Model class MyType { var name: String init() { name = "hello" } } but it seems that SwiftData's@Model macro is unable to read the properties added by my @Versioned macro. I have tried changing the order and it ignores them regardless. version is not added to schemaMetadata and version needs to be persisted. I was planning on using this approach to add multiple capabilities to my model types. Is this possible to do with macros? VersionedMacro /// A macro that automatically implements VersionedModel protocol public struct VersionedMacro: MemberMacro, ExtensionMacro { // Member macro to add the stored property directly to the type public static func expansion( of node: AttributeSyntax, providingMembersOf declaration: some DeclGroupSyntax, in context: some MacroExpansionContext ) throws -> [DeclSyntax] { guard let argumentList = node.arguments?.as(LabeledExprListSyntax.self), let firstArgument = argumentList.first?.expression else { throw MacroExpansionErrorMessage("@Versioned requires a version number, e.g. @Versioned(3)") } let versionValue = firstArgument.description.trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespaces) // Add the stored property with the version value return [ "public private(set) var version: Int = \(raw: versionValue)" ] } // Extension macro to add static property public static func expansion( of node: SwiftSyntax.AttributeSyntax, attachedTo declaration: some SwiftSyntax.DeclGroupSyntax, providingExtensionsOf type: some SwiftSyntax.TypeSyntaxProtocol, conformingTo protocols: [SwiftSyntax.TypeSyntax], in context: some SwiftSyntaxMacros.MacroExpansionContext ) throws -> [SwiftSyntax.ExtensionDeclSyntax] { guard let argumentList = node.arguments?.as(LabeledExprListSyntax.self), let firstArgument = argumentList.first?.expression else { throw MacroExpansionErrorMessage("@Versioned requires a version number, e.g. @Versioned(3)") } let versionValue = firstArgument.description.trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespaces) // We need to explicitly add the conformance in the extension let ext = try ExtensionDeclSyntax("extension \(type): VersionedModel {}") .with(\.memberBlock.members, MemberBlockItemListSyntax { MemberBlockItemSyntax(decl: DeclSyntax( "public static var version: Int { \(raw: versionValue) }" )) }) return [ext] } } VersionedModel public protocol VersionedModel: PersistentModel { /// The version of this particular instance var version: Int { get } /// The type's current version static var version: Int { get } } Macro Expansion:

Safe way to query for the existence of a CKRecordZone?
There's some logic in my app that first checks to see if a specific CloudKit record zone exists. If it doesn't, it creates the zone, and then my application continues on with its work. The way I've implemented this right now is by catching the zoneNotFound error when I call CKDatabase#recordZone(for:) (docs) and creating the zone when that happens: do { try await db.recordZone(for: zoneID) } catch let ckError as CKError where [.zoneNotFound, .userDeletedZone].contains(ckError.code) { // createZone is a helper function try await createZone(zoneID: zoneID, context: context) } This works great, but every time I do this, an error is logged in CloudKit Console, which creates a lot of noise and makes it harder to see real errors. Is there a way to do this without explicitly triggering a CloudKit error? I just found CKDatabase#recordZones(for:) (docs), which seems like it returns an empty array instead of throwing an error if the zone doesn't exist. Will calling that and looking for a non-empty array work just as well, but without logging lots of errors in the console?

SwiftData data crashes with @Relationship
I've noticed that SwiftData's @Relationship seems to potentially cause application crashes. The crash error is shown in the image. Since this crash appears to be random and I cannot reproduce it under specific circumstances, I can only temporarily highlight that this issue seems to exist. @Model final class TrainInfo { @Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade, inverse: \StopStation.trainInfo) var stations: [StopStation]? } @Model final class StopStation { @Relationship var trainInfo: TrainInfo? } /// some View var origin: StopStationDisplayable? { if let train = train as? TrainInfo { return train.stations?.first(where: { $0.isOrigin }) ?? train.stations?.first(where: { $0.isStarting }) } return nil } // Some other function or property func someFunction() { if let origin, let destination { // Function implementation } }

QuotaExceeded error for RecordDelete operation
In the CloudKit logs I see logs that suggest users getting QUOTA_EXCEEDED error for RecordDelete operations. { "time":"21/07/2025, 7:57:46 UTC" "database":"PRIVATE" "zone":"***" "userId":"***" "operationId":"***" "operationGroupName":"2.3.3(185)" "operationType":"RecordDelete" "platform":"iPhone" "clientOS":"iOS;18.5" "overallStatus":"USER_ERROR" "error":"QUOTA_EXCEEDED" "requestId":"***" "executionTimeMs":"177" "interfaceType":"NATIVE" "recordInsertBytes":54352 "recordInsertCount":40 "returnedRecordTypes":"_pcs_data" } I'm confused as to what this means? Why would a RecordDelete operation have recordInsertBytes? I'd expect a RecordDelete operation to never fail on quotaExceeded and how would I handle that in the app?

SwiftData migration crashes when working with relationships
The following complex migration consistently crashes the app with the following error: SwiftData/PersistentModel.swift:726: Fatal error: What kind of backing data is this? SwiftData._KKMDBackingData<SwiftDataMigration.ItemSchemaV1.ItemList> My app relies on a complex migration that involves these optional 1 to n relationships.

Run project again -> App crashes My setup: Xcode Version 16.2 (16C5032a) MacOS Sequoia 15.4 iPhone 12 with 18.3.2 (22D82) Am I doing something wrong or did I stumble upon a bug?

SwiftData "Auto Inserts" array into ModelContext
Definitely one of the stranger quirks of SwiftData I've come across. I have a ScriptView that shows Line entities related to a Production, and a TextEnterScriptView that’s presented in a sheet to input text. I’m noticing that every time I type in the TextEditor within TextEnterScriptView, a new Line shows up in ScriptView — even though I haven’t explicitly inserted it into the modelContext. I'm quite confused because even though I’m only assigning a new Line to a local @State array in TextEnterScriptView, every keystroke in the TextEditor causes a duplicate Line to appear in ScriptView. In other words, Why is SwiftData creating new Line entities every time I type in the TextEditor, even though I’m only assigning to a local @State array and not explicitly inserting them into the modelContext? Here is my minimal reproducible example: import SwiftData import SwiftUI @main struct testApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() .modelContainer(for: Line.self, isAutosaveEnabled: false) } } } struct ContentView: View { @Environment(\.modelContext) var modelContext @Query(sort: \Production.title) var productions: [Production] var body: some View { NavigationStack { List(productions) { production in NavigationLink(value: production) { Text(production.title) } } .navigationDestination(for: Production.self) { production in ScriptView(production: production) } .toolbar { Button("Add", systemImage: "plus") { let production = Production(title: "Test \(productions.count + 1)") modelContext.insert(production) do { try modelContext.save() } catch { print(error) } } } .navigationTitle("Productions") } } } struct ScriptView: View { @Query private var lines: [Line] let production: Production @State private var isShowingSheet: Bool = false var body: some View { List { ForEach(lines) { line in Text(line.content) } } .toolbar { Button("Show Sheet") { isShowingSheet.toggle() } } .sheet(isPresented: $isShowingSheet) { TextEnterScriptView(production: production) } } } struct TextEnterScriptView: View { @Environment(\.dismiss) var dismiss @State private var text = "" @State private var lines: [Line] = [] let production: Production var body: some View { NavigationStack { TextEditor(text: $text) .onChange(of: text, initial: false) { lines = [Line(content: "test line", production: production)] } .toolbar { Button("Done") { dismiss() } } } } } @Model class Production { @Attribute(.unique) var title: String @Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade, inverse: \Line.production) var lines: [Line] = [] init(title: String) { self.title = title } } @Model class Line { var content: String var production: Production? init(content: String, production: Production?) { self.content = content self.production = production } }

Troubleshooting CloudKit JS iCloud Backup: setupAuth() Returns Null After Sign in with Apple
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!

iCloud Drive Implementation Issue in My App
Hi, I'm having trouble implementing iCloud Drive in my app. I've already taken the obvious steps, including enabling iCloud Documents in Xcode and selecting a container. This container is correctly specified in my code, and in theory, everything should work. The data generated by my app should be saved to iCloud Drive in addition to local storage. The data does get stored in the Files app, but the automatic syncing to iCloud Drive doesn’t work as expected. I’ve also considered updating my .entitlements file. Since I’m at a loss, I’m reaching out for help maybe I’ve overlooked something important that's causing it not to work. If anyone has an idea, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Errors reading not-yet-sync'd iCloud files get cached
I have an app which uses ubiquitous containers and files in them to share data between devices. It's a bit unusual in that it indexes files in directories the user grants access to, which may or may not exist on a second device - those files are identified by SHA-1 hash. So a second device scanning before iCloud data has fully sync'd can create duplicate references which lead to an unpleasant user experience. To solve this, I store a small binary index in the root of the ubiquitous file container of the shared data, containing all of the known hashes, and as the user proceeds through the onboarding process, a background thread is attempting to "prime" the ubiquitous container by calling FileManager.default.startDownloadingUbiquitousItemAt() for each expected folder and file in a sane order. This likely creates a situation not anticipated by the iOS/iCloud integration's design, as it means my app has a sort of precognition of files it should not yet know about. In the common case, it works, but there is a corner case where iCloud sync has just begun, and very, very little metadata is available (the common case, however, in an emulator), in which two issues come up: I/O may hang indefinitely, trying to read a file as it is arriving. This one I can work around by running the I/O in a thread created with the POSIX pthread_create and using pthread_cancel to kill it after a timeout. Attempts to call FileManager.default.startDownloadingUbiquitousItemAt() fails with an error Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=257 "The file couldn’t be opened because you don’t have permission to view it.". The permissions aspect of it is nonsense, but I can believe there's no applicable "sort of exists, sort of doesn't" error code to use and someone punted. The problem is that this same error will be thrown on any attempt to access that file for the life of the application - a restart is required to make it usable. Clearly, the error or the hallucinated permission failure is cached somewhere in the bowels of iOS's FileManager. I was hoping startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() would allow me to bypass such a cache, as it does with URL.resourceValues() returning stale file sizes and last modified times. But it does not. Is there some way to clear this state without popping up a UI with an Exit button (not exactly the desired iOS user experience)?
