Is there a way to move user data from UserDefaults to SwiftData when the app is in production so that people don’t lose their data. Currently my audio journals in my journal app has everything in the UserDefaults. Now this is bad for obvious reasons but I was thinking if there was a way. It’s only been 1 week since published and I have already had17 people download it.

Is it possible to track history using the new HistoryDescriptor feature in SwiftData? Or can I only get the current most recent data? Or is it possible to output the changed data itself, along with timestamps?
I am hoping that it is possible to track by a standard feature like NSPersistentHistoryTransaction in CoreData.
Do we still have to use a method in SwiftData that creates more tracking data itself?
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!

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? :-)
In a CloudKit private database, the Owner creates a custom zone and performs the following actions:
Creates CKRecord1 with CKShare1 and invites Participant1 to it.
Creates CKRecord2 with CKShare2 and invites Participant2 to it.
Creates CKRecordShared, which should be accessible to both Participant1 and Participant2.
How can I achieve step 3?
I observed that:
Setting a regular reference from CKRecord1 (or CKRecord2) to CKRecordShared does not automatically make CKRecordShared accessible to Participant1 (or Participant2).
CKRecordShared can only have one parent, so it cannot be directly linked via parent reference to both Participant1 and Participant2 at the same time.
One potential solution I see is to have the Owner create a separate CKShare for CKRecordShared and share it explicitly with each participant. However, this approach could lead to user errors, as it requires careful management of multiple shares for each participant.
Is there a better way to handle this scenario, ensuring that CKRecordShared is accessible to multiple participants without introducing unnecessary complexity or potential errors?
How do I filter data using @Query with a Set of DateComponents? I successfully saved multiple dates using a MultiDatePicker in AddView.swift. In ListView.swift, I want to retrieve all records for the current or today’s date.
There are hundreds of examples using @Query with strings and dates, but I haven’t found an example of @Query using a Set of DateComponents
Nothing will compile and after hundreds and hundreds of attempts, my hair is turning gray.
Please, please, please help me.
For example, if the current date is Tuesday, March 4 205, then I want to retrieve both records. Since both records contain Tuesday, March 4, then retrieve both records. Sorting works fine because the order by clause uses period which is a Double.
Unfortunately, my syntax is incorrect and I don’t know the correct predicate syntax for @Query and a Set of DateComponents.
Class Planner.swift file
import SwiftUI
import SwiftData
@Model
class Planner {
//var id: UUID = UUID()
var grade: Double = 4.0
var kumi: Double = 4.0
var period: Double = 1.0
var dates: Set<DateComponents> = []
init(
grade: Double = 4.0, kumi: Double = 4.0, period: Double = 1.0, dates: Set<DateComponents> = []
)
{
self.grade = grade
self.kumi = kumi
self.period = period
self.dates = dates
}
}
@Query Model snippet of code does not work
The compile error is to use a Set of DateComponents, not just DateComponents.
@Query(filter: #Predicate<Planner> { $0.dates = DateComponents(calendar: Calendar.current, year: 2025, month: 3, day: 4)},
sort: [SortDescriptor(\Planner.period)])
var planner: [Planner]

Any help is greatly appreciated.
I'm running a project with these settings:
Default Actor Isolation: MainActor
Approachable Concurrency: Yes
Strict Concurrency Checking: Complete (this issue does not appear on the other two modes)
I receive a warning for this very simple use case. Can I actually fix anything about this or is this a case of Core Data not being entirely ready for this?
In reference to this, there was a workaround listed in the release notes of iOS 26 beta 5 (https://forums.swift.org/t/defaultisolation-mainactor-and-core-data-background-tasks/80569/22). Does this still apply as the only fix for this?
This is a simplified sample meant to run on a background context. The issue obviously goes away if this function would just run on the MainActor, then I can remove the perform block entirely.
class DataHandler {
func createItem() async {
let context = ...
await context.perform {
let newGame = Item(context: context)
/// Main actor-isolated property 'timestamp' can not be mutated from a Sendable closure
newGame.timestamp = Date.now
// ...
}
}
}
The complete use case would be more like this:
nonisolated
struct DataHandler {
@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
try context.save()
}
}
}
My entity has a startDate (NSTime) attribute where I use the date and time in my detail display of the entity.
And in my list, I need to group my entities by day (YYMMDD) based on the start date; and I want to ensure that it can adapt to the region where the user is currently (e.g. if user travels or migrate, the YYMMDD should be adapted based on the current region). Does Core Data SectionedFetchRequest supports strftime() functions from SQLite (https://sqlite.org/lang_datefunc.html) or what is an effective alternative sectioned fetch in my case?
Hi,
I am creating (or trying to) my first app using SwiftData - and I have questions :-)
The main question I can't get my head wrapped around is the following:
Let's say I have the sample below...
@Model
class Person {
@Relationship(inverse:\Hat.owner) var hat:Hat
}
@Model
class Hat {
var owner:Person?
}
It looks like I am creating a strong reference cycle between the person and the hat objects? And in fact I am seeing these kinds of reference cycles when I look at the memory debugger.
Many code samples I have seen so far use this type of relationship declaration...
And I am wondering: Am I missing something?
Admittedly I don't find many discussions about memory leaks caused by SwiftData despite the syntax being used in many examples?
So what is the situation? Did Apple just miss to explain that the inverse: declaration causes memory leaks or is there some kind of magic that I should understand?

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.
I am attempting to migrate a cloudkit module that calls on manual cloudkit methods for fetching record zone changes, modifying records, etc to one that utilizes CKSyncEngine. I've got a basic implementation working with just a create method for one of my data models, however it seems like the sync engine keeps calling sync events on the same pending changes.
Here is my current flow:
The user will hit some button that lets them fill out a form to create a data model.
The user saves the form. This triggers a method that takes the resulting data model and queues it to the sync engine's state (engine.state.add(pendingRecordZoneChanges: pendingChanges)
I have my delegate method nextRecordZoneChangeBatch(_ context:...) implemented where it fetches the corresponding data model using the record ID and returns a batch containing the corresponding populated record from the data model.
I have the handleEvent(_ event:...) delegate method implemented where I handle both .fetchRecordZoneChanges and .sentRecordZoneChanges. I have set up .sentRecordZoneChanges to merge the server record into my local record (and persisted locally) so that the record change tags are the same.
After this last portion, it seems that the sync engine continues to keep pushing syncs/updates and I end up with numerous handleEvent(_ event:) calls that keep returning savedRecords (and occasionally failedRecordSaves).
Am I missing some step to remove the record from the changes after the sync engine recognizes that I have properly saved the record to the server?
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
}```
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?
I'm using SwiftData with CloudKit and have been trying to migrate from
SchemaV1 to SchemaV2, but it seems reducing the Entities crashes my app.
// Example of migrating from V1 to V2
// Dropping `Person` because it's no longer needed
do {
// SchemaV1: Person.self, Author.self
// SchemaV2: Author.self
let schema = Schema(versionedSchema: SchemaV2.self)
return try ModelContainer(
for: schema,
migrationPlan: AppSchemaMigrationPlan.self,
configurations: ModelConfiguration(
cloudKitDatabase: .automatic)
)
} catch {
fatalError("Could not create ModelContainer: \(error)")
}
Is it possible to drop Entities in the Schema Migration Plan?
How can I delete the Person model from my Schema and CloudKit?
This simple test fails in my project. Similar code in my application also crashes.
How do I debug the problem?
What project settings are required. I have added SwiftData as a framework to test (and application) targets?
Thanks,

I've been seeing something that I find odd when using two SwiftData models where if I have one model (book, in this case) that has an optional array of another model (page, in this case), the optional array starts out as set to nil, but after about 20 seconds it updates to being an empty array.
I see it in Previews and after building.
Is this expected behavior? Should I just assume that if there is an optional array in my model it will eventually be initialized to an empty array?
Code is below.
import SwiftUI
import SwiftData
@Model
final class Book {
var title: String = "New Book"
@Relationship var pages: [Page]? = nil
init(title: String) {
self.title = title
}
}
@Model
final class Page {
var content: String = "Page Content"
var book: Book? = nil
init() {
}
}

} label: {

}
}
}

modelContext.insert(newBook)
}
}

I have a Core Data model with two entities - WarehouseArea (of which there is only one object) and StockReeipt (of which there are a couple of hundred thousand). Each StockReceipt must be linked to a WarehouseArea, and a WarehouseArea can be linked to zero, one or many StockReceipts.
My problem is that when I create and add one more StockReceipt, the Core Data save takes over 3 seconds to complete. I don't understand why this is so slow. Saving the initial 200,000 StockReceipts only takes 5-6 seconds.
When I enable SQL logging I can see that when the WarehouseArea attribute is being set on a StockReceipt, Core Data fetches all of the other StockReceipts (I don't know why) but that only takes 0.2 seconds and none of those StockReceipts are modified, so there shouldn't be any need to process them when saving the context.
I have prepared a test project which can be found at https://github.com/DaleReilly/CoreDataSaveTester . Running the project will produce NSLog output showing the times before and after the slow save.
Please help me understand what is going on in the background and tell me if there is any way I can speed this up?

I'm a first time developer for Swift, (getting on a bit!) but after programming in VB back in the late 90s I wanted to write an app for iPhone. I think I might have gone about it the wrong way, but I've got an app that works great on my iPhone or works great on my iPad. It saves the data persistently on device, but, no matter how much I try, what I read and even resorting to AI (ChatGPT & Gemini) I still can't get it to save the data on iCloud to synchronise between the two and work across the devices. I think it must be something pretty fundamental I'm doing (or more likely not doing) that is causing the issue.
I'm setting up my signing and capabilities as per the available instructions but I always get a fatal error. I think it might be something to do with making fields optional, but at this point I'm second guessing myself and feeling a complete failure. Any advice or pointers would be really gratefully appreciated. I like my app and would like eventually to get it on the App Store but at this point in time I feel it should be on the failed projects heap!
I've even tried a new Xcode project for iOS and asking it to use SwiftData and CloudKit - the default project should work - right? But it absolutely doesn't for me. Please send help!!
