I am trying to add a custom JSON DataStore and DataStoreConfiguration for SwiftData. Apple kindly provided some sample code in the WWDC24 session, "Create a custom data store with SwiftData", and (once updated for API changes since WWDC) that works fine.
However, when I try to add a relationship between two classes, it fails. Has anyone successfully made a JSONDataStore with a relationship?
Here's my code; firstly the cleaned up code from the WWDC session:
import SwiftData
final class JSONStoreConfiguration: DataStoreConfiguration {
typealias Store = JSONStore
var name: String
var schema: Schema?
var fileURL: URL
init(name: String, schema: Schema? = nil, fileURL: URL) {
self.name = name
self.schema = schema
self.fileURL = fileURL
}
static func == (lhs: JSONStoreConfiguration, rhs: JSONStoreConfiguration) -> Bool {
return lhs.name == rhs.name
}
func hash(into hasher: inout Hasher) {
hasher.combine(name)
}
}
final class JSONStore: DataStore {
typealias Configuration = JSONStoreConfiguration
typealias Snapshot = DefaultSnapshot
var configuration: JSONStoreConfiguration
var name: String
var schema: Schema
var identifier: String
init(_ configuration: JSONStoreConfiguration, migrationPlan: (any SchemaMigrationPlan.Type)?) throws {
self.configuration = configuration
self.name = configuration.name
self.schema = configuration.schema!
self.identifier = configuration.fileURL.lastPathComponent
}
func save(_ request: DataStoreSaveChangesRequest<DefaultSnapshot>) throws -> DataStoreSaveChangesResult<DefaultSnapshot> {
var remappedIdentifiers = [PersistentIdentifier: PersistentIdentifier]()
var serializedData = try read()
for snapshot in request.inserted {
let permanentIdentifier = try PersistentIdentifier.identifier(for: identifier,
entityName: snapshot.persistentIdentifier.entityName,
primaryKey: UUID())
let permanentSnapshot = snapshot.copy(persistentIdentifier: permanentIdentifier)
serializedData[permanentIdentifier] = permanentSnapshot
remappedIdentifiers[snapshot.persistentIdentifier] = permanentIdentifier
}
for snapshot in request.updated {
serializedData[snapshot.persistentIdentifier] = snapshot
}
for snapshot in request.deleted {
serializedData[snapshot.persistentIdentifier] = nil
}
try write(serializedData)
return DataStoreSaveChangesResult<DefaultSnapshot>(for: self.identifier, remappedIdentifiers: remappedIdentifiers)
}
func fetch<T>(_ request: DataStoreFetchRequest<T>) throws -> DataStoreFetchResult<T, DefaultSnapshot> where T : PersistentModel {
if request.descriptor.predicate != nil {
throw DataStoreError.preferInMemoryFilter
} else if request.descriptor.sortBy.count > 0 {
throw DataStoreError.preferInMemorySort
}
let objs = try read()
let snapshots = objs.values.map({ $0 })
return DataStoreFetchResult(descriptor: request.descriptor, fetchedSnapshots: snapshots, relatedSnapshots: objs)
}
func read() throws -> [PersistentIdentifier : DefaultSnapshot] {
if FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: configuration.fileURL.path(percentEncoded: false)) {
let decoder = JSONDecoder()
decoder.dateDecodingStrategy = .iso8601
let data = try decoder.decode([DefaultSnapshot].self, from: try Data(contentsOf: configuration.fileURL))
var result = [PersistentIdentifier: DefaultSnapshot]()
data.forEach { s in
result[s.persistentIdentifier] = s
}
return result
} else {
return [:]
}
}
func write(_ data: [PersistentIdentifier : DefaultSnapshot]) throws {
let encoder = JSONEncoder()
encoder.dateEncodingStrategy = .iso8601
encoder.outputFormatting = [.prettyPrinted, .sortedKeys]
let jsonData = try encoder.encode(data.values.map({ $0 }))
try jsonData.write(to: configuration.fileURL)
}
}
The data model classes:
import SwiftData
@Model
class Settings {
private(set) var version = 1
@Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade) var hack: Hack? = Hack()
init() {
}
}
@Model
class Hack {
var foo = "Foo"
var bar = 42
init() {
}
}
Container:
lazy var mainContainer: ModelContainer = {
do {
let url = // URL to file
let configuration = JSONStoreConfiguration(name: "Settings", schema: Schema([Settings.self, Hack.self]), fileURL: url)
return try ModelContainer(for: Settings.self, Hack.self, configurations: configuration)
}
catch {
fatalError("Container error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
}()
Load function, that saves a new Settings JSON file if there isn't an existing one:
@MainActor func loadSettings() {
let mainContext = mainContainer.mainContext
let descriptor = FetchDescriptor<Settings>()
let settingsArray = try? mainContext.fetch(descriptor)
print("\(settingsArray?.count ?? 0) settings found")
if let settingsArray, let settings = settingsArray.last {
print("Loaded")
} else {
let settings = Settings()
mainContext.insert(settings)
do {
try mainContext.save()
} catch {
print("Error saving settings: \(error)")
}
}
}
The save operation creates a JSON file, which while it isn't a format I would choose, is acceptable, though I notice that the "hack" property (the relationship) doesn't have the correct identifier.
When I run the app again to load the data, I get an error (that there wasn't room to include in this post).
Even if I change Apple's code to not assign a new identifier, so the relationship property and its pointee have the same identifier, it still doesn't load.
Am I doing something obviously wrong, or are relationships not supported in custom data stores?

Trying to support undo & redo in an app that utilizes Swift Data and as with anything other than provided simplistic Apple demo examples the experience is not great.
The problem:
Im trying to build functionality that allows users to add items to an item group, where item and item group have a many-to-many relationship e.g. item group can hold many items and items can appear in multiple groups.
When trying to do so with relatively simple setup of either adding or removing item group from items relationship array, I am pretty consistently met with a hard crash after performing undo & redo. Sometimes it works the first few undo & redos but 95% of the time would crash on the first one.
Could not cast value of type 'Swift.Optional<Any>' (0x20a676be0) to 'Swift.Array<App.CodableStructModel>' (0x207a2bc08).
Where CodableStructModel is a Codable Value type inside Item.
Adding and removing this relationship should be undoable & redoable as typical for Mac interaction and is "supported" by SwiftData by default, meaning that the developer has to actively either wholly opt out of undo support in their modelContainer setup or do it on a per action scale with the only thing I know of:
modelContext.processPendingChanges()
modelContext.undoManager?.disableUndoRegistration()
.....
modelContext.processPendingChanges()
modelContext.undoManager?.enableUndoRegistration()
General rant on SwiftData:
Random crashes, inconsistencies, random cryptic errors thrown by the debugger and general lack of production level stability.
Each update breaks something new and there is very little guidance and communication from the Swift Data team on how to adapt and more importantly consideration for developers that have adopted Swift Data.
If SwiftData is not ready for production, it would go a long way to clearly communicate that and mark it as Beta product.
Hi All,
I work on a cross platform app, iOS/macOS.
All devises on iOS could synchronize data from Coredata : I create a client, I see him an all iOS devices.
But when I test on macOs (with TestFlight) the Mac app could not get any information from iOs devices.
On Mac, cloud drive is working because I could download and upload documents and share it between all devices, so the account is working but with my App on MacOS, there is no synchronisation.
idea????
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'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.
Basically merging data from .NSManagedObjectContextDidSave notification from another NSManagedObjectContext. Nothing special, it works great for years, apart from these rare occurrences.

CloudKit CKRecordZone Deletion Issue
Problem: CloudKit record zones deleted via CKDatabase.modifyRecordZones(deleting:) or CKModifyRecordZonesOperation are successfully
removed but then reappear. I suspect they are automatically reinstated by CloudKit sync, despite successful deletion confirmation.
Environment:
SwiftData with CloudKit integration
Custom CloudKit zones created for legacy zone-based sharing
Observed Behavior:
Create custom zone (e.g., "TestZone1") via CKDatabase.modifyRecordZones(saving:)
Copy records to zone for sharing purposes
Delete zone using any CloudKit deletion API - returns success, no errors
Immediate verification: Zone is gone from database.allRecordZones()
After SwiftData/CloudKit sync or app restart: Zone reappears
Reproduction:
Tested with three different deletion methods - all exhibit same behaviour:
modifyRecordZones(deleting:) async API
CKModifyRecordZonesOperation (fire-and-forget)
CKModifyRecordZonesOperation with result callbacks
Zone deletion succeeds, change tokens (used to track updates to shared records) cleaned up
But zones are restored presumably by CloudKit background sync
Expected: Deleted zones should remain deleted
Actual: Zones are reinstated, creating orphaned zones
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!
I'm experiencing a persistent issue with CloudKit sharing in my iOS application. When attempting to present a UICloudSharingController, I receive the error message "Unknown client: ChoreOrganizer" in the console.
App Configuration Details:
App Name: ChoreOrganizer
Bundle ID: com.ProgressByBits.ChoreOrganizer
CloudKit Container ID: iCloud.com.ProgressByBits.ChoreOrganizer
Core Data Model Name: ChoreOrganizer.xcdatamodeld
Core Data Entity: Chore
Error Details:
The error "Unknown client: ChoreOrganizer" occurs when I present the UICloudSharingController
This happens only on the first attempt to share; subsequent attempts during the same app session don't show the error but sharing still doesn't work
All my code executes successfully without errors until UICloudSharingController is presented
Implementation Details:
I'm using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer for Core Data synchronization and UICloudSharingController for sharing. My implementation creates a custom CloudKit zone, saves both a record and a CKShare in that zone, and then presents the sharing controller.
Here's the relevant code:
@MainActor
func presentSharing(from viewController: UIViewController) async throws {
// Create CloudKit container
let container = CKContainer(identifier: containerIdentifier)
let database = container.privateCloudDatabase
// Define custom zone ID
let zoneID = CKRecordZone.ID(zoneName: "SharedChores", ownerName: CKCurrentUserDefaultName)
do {
// Check if zone exists, create if necessary
do {
_ = try await database.recordZone(for: zoneID)
} catch {
let newZone = CKRecordZone(zoneID: zoneID)
_ = try await database.save(newZone)
}
// Create record in custom zone
let recordID = CKRecord.ID(recordName: "SharedChoresRoot", zoneID: zoneID)
let rootRecord = CKRecord(recordType: "ChoreRoot", recordID: recordID)
rootRecord["name"] = "Shared Chores Root" as CKRecordValue
// Create share
let share = CKShare(rootRecord: rootRecord)
share[CKShare.SystemFieldKey.title] = "Shared Tasks" as CKRecordValue
// Save both record and share in same operation
let recordsToSave: [CKRecord] = [rootRecord, share]
_ = try await database.modifyRecords(saving: recordsToSave, deleting: [])
// Present sharing controller
let sharingController = UICloudSharingController(share: share, container: container)
sharingController.delegate = shareDelegate
// Configure popover
if let popover = sharingController.popoverPresentationController {
popover.sourceView = viewController.view
popover.sourceRect = CGRect(
x: viewController.view.bounds.midX,
y: viewController.view.bounds.midY,
width: 1, height: 1
)
popover.permittedArrowDirections = []
}
viewController.present(sharingController, animated: true)
} catch {
throw error
}
}
Steps I've already tried:
Verified correct bundle ID and container ID match in all places (code, entitlements file, Developer Portal)
Added NSUbiquitousContainers configuration to Info.plist
Ensured proper entitlements in the app
Created and configured proper provisioning profiles
Tried both default zone and custom zone for sharing
Various ways of saving the record and share (separate operations, same operation)
Cleaned build folder, deleted derived data, reinstalled the app
Tried on both simulator and physical device
Confirmed CloudKit container exists in CloudKit Dashboard with correct schema
Verified iCloud is properly signed in on test devices
Console Output:
1. Starting sharing process
2. Created CKContainer with ID: iCloud.com.ProgressByBits.ChoreOrganizer
3. Using zone: SharedChores
4. Checking if zone exists
5. Zone exists
7. Created record with ID: <CKRecordID: 0x3033ebd80; recordName=SharedChoresRoot, zoneID=SharedChores:__defaultOwner__>
8. Created share with ID: <CKRecordID: 0x3033ea920; recordName=Share-C4701F43-7591-4436-BBF4-6FA8AF3DF532, zoneID=SharedChores:__defaultOwner__>
9. About to save record and share
10. Records saved successfully
11. Creating UICloudSharingController
12. About to present UICloudSharingController
13. UICloudSharingController presented
Unknown client: ChoreOrganizer
Additional Information:
When accessing the CloudKit Dashboard, I can see that data is being properly synced to the cloud, indicating that the basic CloudKit integration is working. The issue appears to be specific to the sharing functionality.
I would greatly appreciate any insights or solutions to resolve this persistent "Unknown client" error. Thank you for your assistance.
I'm trying to build a custom FetchRequest that I can use outside a View. I've built the following ObservableFetchRequest class based on this article: https://augmentedcode.io/2023/04/03/nsfetchedresultscontroller-wrapper-for-swiftui-view-models
@Observable @MainActor class ObservableFetchRequest<Result: Storable>: NSObject, @preconcurrency NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate {
private let controller: NSFetchedResultsController<Result.E>
private var results: [Result] = []
init(context: NSManagedObjectContext = .default, predicate: NSPredicate? = Result.E.defaultPredicate(), sortDescriptors: [NSSortDescriptor] = Result.E.sortDescripors) {
guard let request = Result.E.fetchRequest() as? NSFetchRequest<Result.E> else {
fatalError("Failed to create fetch request for \(Result.self)")
}
request.predicate = predicate
request.sortDescriptors = sortDescriptors
controller = NSFetchedResultsController(fetchRequest: request, managedObjectContext: context, sectionNameKeyPath: nil, cacheName: nil)
super.init()
controller.delegate = self
fetch()
}
private func fetch() {
do {
try controller.performFetch()
refresh()
}
catch {
fatalError("Failed to fetch results for \(Result.self)")
}
}
private func refresh() {
results = controller.fetchedObjects?.map { Result($0) } ?? []
}
var predicate: NSPredicate? {
get {
controller.fetchRequest.predicate
}
set {
controller.fetchRequest.predicate = newValue
fetch()
}
}
var sortDescriptors: [NSSortDescriptor] {
get {
controller.fetchRequest.sortDescriptors ?? []
}
set {
controller.fetchRequest.sortDescriptors = newValue.isEmpty ? nil : newValue
fetch()
}
}
internal func controllerDidChangeContent(_ controller: NSFetchedResultsController<any NSFetchRequestResult>) {
refresh()
}
}
Till this point, everything works fine.
Then, I conformed my class to RandomAccessCollection, so I could use in a ForEach loop without having to access the results property.
extension ObservableFetchRequest: @preconcurrency RandomAccessCollection, @preconcurrency MutableCollection {
subscript(position: Index) -> Result {
get {
results[position]
}
set {
results[position] = newValue
}
}
public var endIndex: Index { results.endIndex }
public var indices: Indices { results.indices }
public var startIndex: Index { results.startIndex }
public func distance(from start: Index, to end: Index) -> Int {
results.distance(from: start, to: end)
}
public func index(_ i: Index, offsetBy distance: Int) -> Index {
results.index(i, offsetBy: distance)
}
public func index(_ i: Index, offsetBy distance: Int, limitedBy limit: Index) -> Index? {
results.index(i, offsetBy: distance, limitedBy: limit)
}
public func index(after i: Index) -> Index {
results.index(after: i)
}
public func index(before i: Index) -> Index {
results.index(before: i)
}
public typealias Element = Result
public typealias Index = Int
}
The issue is, when I update the ObservableFetchRequest predicate while searching, it causes a Index out of range error in the Collection subscript because the ForEach loop (or a List loop) access a old version of the array when the item property is optional.
List(request, selection: $selection) { item in
VStack(alignment: .leading) {
Text(item.content)
if let information = item.information { // here's the issue, if I leave this out, everything works
Text(information)
.font(.callout)
.foregroundStyle(.secondary)
}
}
.tag(item.id)
.contextMenu {
if Item.self is Client.Type {
Button("Editar") {
openWindow(ClientView(client: item as! Client), id: item.id!)
}
}
}
}
Is it some RandomAccessCollection issue or a SwiftUI bug?
We are currently implementing a custom iCloud sync for our macOS and iOS apps using CloudKit. Syncing works fine as long as the number of record sends is relatively small.
But when we test with a large number of changes ( 80,000+ CKRecords ) we start running into problems.
Our sending strategy is very conservative to avoid rate limits:
We send records sequentially in batches of 250 records
With about 2 seconds pause between operations
Records are small and contain no assets (assets are uploaded separately)
At some point we start receiving:
“Database commit size exceeds limit”
After that, CloudKit begins returning rate-limit errors with retryAfter-Information in the error.
We wait for the retry time and try again, but from this moment on, nothing progresses anymore. Every subsequent attempt fails.
We could not find anything in the official documentation regarding such a “commit size” limit or what triggers this failure state.
So my questions are:
Are there undocumented limits on the total number of records that can exist in an iCloud database (private or shared)?
Is there a maximum volume of record modifications a container can accept within a certain timeframe, even if operations are split into small batches with pauses?
Is it possible that sending large numbers of records in a row can temporarily or permanently “stall” a CloudKit container?
Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
I work on an app that saves data to the Documents folder in the users iCloud Drive. This uses the iCloud -> iCloud Documents capability with a standard container.
We've noticed an issue where a user will delete the apps data by doing to Settings > {Name} > iCloud > Storage > App Name > select "delete data from iCloud", and then our app can no longer write to or create the Documents folder.
Once that happens, we get this error:
Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=513 "You don't have permission to save the file "Documents" in the folder "iCloud~your~bundle~identifier"." UserInfo={NSFilePath=/private/var/mobile/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~your~bundle~identifier/Documents, NSURL=file:///private/var/mobile/Library/Mobile%20Documents/iCloud~your~bundle~identifier/Documents, NSUnderlyingError=0x1102c7ea0 {Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=13 "Permission denied"}}
This is reproducible using the sample project here https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/synchronizing-documents-in-the-icloud-environment.
Steps to reproduce in that project:
Tap the plus sign in the top right corner to create a new document
Add a document name and tap "Save to Documents"
Go to Settings > {Name} > iCloud > Storage > SimpleiCloudDocument App Name > select "delete data from iCloud"
Reopen the app and repeat steps 1-2
Observe error on MainViewController+Document.swift:59
Deleting and reinstalling the app doesn't seem to help.

"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.
我正在使用 Core Data 开发一个 SwiftUI 项目。我的数据模型中有一个名为 AppleUser 的实体,具有以下属性:id (UUID)、name (String)、email (String)、password (String) 和 createdAt (Date)。所有属性都是非可选的。
我使用 Xcode 的自动生成创建了相应的 Core Data 类文件(AppleUser+CoreDataClass.swift 和 AppleUser+CoreDataProperties.swift)。我还有一个 PersistenceController,它使用模型名称 JobLinkModel 初始化 NSPersistentContainer。
当我尝试使用以下方法保存新的 AppleUser 对象时:
让用户 = AppleUser(上下文:viewContext)
user.id = UUID()
user.name = “用户 1”
user.email = “...”
user.password = “密码 1”
user.createdAt = Date()【电子邮件格式正确,但已替换为“...”出于隐私原因】
尝试?viewContext.save()
我在控制台中收到以下错误:核心数据保存失败:Foundation._GenericObjCError.nilError, [:]
用户快照: [“id”: ..., “name”: “User1”, “email”: “...”, “password”: “...”, “createdAt”: ...]
所有字段都有有效值,核心数据模型似乎正确。我还尝试过:
• 检查 NSPersistentContainer(name:) 中的模型名称是否与 .xcdatamodeld 文件 (JobLinkModel) 匹配
• 确保正确设置 AppleUser 实体类、模块和 Codegen(类定义、当前产品模块)
• 删除重复或旧的 AppleUser 类文件
• 清理 Xcode 构建文件夹并从模拟器中删除应用程序
• 对上下文使用 @Environment(.managedObjectContext)
尽管如此,在保存新的 AppleUser 对象时,我仍然会收到 _GenericObjCError.nilError。
我想了解:
为什么即使所有字段都不是零且正确分配,核心数据也无法保存?
这可能是由于一些残留的旧类文件引起的,还是我缺少设置中的其他内容?
我应该采取哪些步骤来确保 Core Data 正确识别 AppleUser 实体并允许保存?
任何帮助或指导将不胜感激。
I'm building a photo editing app with a token-based subscription system using RevenueCat and StoreKit. Users purchase subscriptions that grant tokens for AI generations. There are no user accounts, the app is fully anonymous.
Currently, I generate an anonymous account ID via RevenueCat SDK and store it in iCloud Keychain. This allows users on the same iCloud account to restore both their subscription and token balance across devices. However, users on a different iCloud account can restore their subscription via Apple, but their token balance is lost because there's no way to link the anonymous IDs.
The problem is that if a user switches iCloud accounts or gets a new device without the same iCloud, their purchased tokens are orphaned. The subscription restores fine through Apple, but the token balance tied to the old anonymous ID becomes inaccessible.
I have a few constraints: no user accounts, no email or phone sign-in, must work across devices owned by the same person, and must comply with App Store guidelines.
My questions are: Is iCloud Keychain the right tool for this, or is there a better approach? Would CloudKit with an anonymous record zone be more appropriate? Are there any recommended patterns for persisting consumable balances tied to anonymous users across device migrations?
Any guidance would be appreciated.

CKContainer.default().privateCloudDatabase.add(op)
My problem is that CKRecord are not deleted once I reinstall the app: when I reinstall the app and try to delete a CloudKit record, the method is executed successfully (error is nil) but the records are still in CloudKit Dashboards.

Hi all,
I am using SwiftData and cloudkit and I am having an extremely persistent bug.
I am building an education section on a app that's populated with lessons via a local JSON file. I don't need this lesson data to sync to cloudkit as the lessons are static, just need them imported into swiftdata so I've tried to use the modelcontainer like this:
static func createSharedModelContainer() -> ModelContainer {
// --- Define Model Groups ---
let localOnlyModels: [any PersistentModel.Type] = [
Lesson.self, MiniLesson.self,
Quiz.self, Question.self
]
let cloudKitSyncModels: [any PersistentModel.Type] = [
User.self, DailyTip.self, UserSubscription.self,
UserEducationProgress.self // User progress syncs
]
However, what happens is that I still get Lesson and MiniLesson record types on cloudkit and for some reason as well, whenever I update the data models or delete and reinstall the app on simulator, the lessons duplicate (what seems to happen is that a set of lessons comes from the JSON file as it should), and then 1-2 seconds later, an older set of lessons gets synced from cloudkit.
I can delete the old set of lessons if I just delete the lessons and mini lessons record types, but if I update the data model again, this error reccurrs.
Sorry, I don't know if I managed to explain this well but essentially I just want to stop the lessons and minilessons from being uploaded to cloudkit as I think this will fix the problem. Am I doing something wrong with the code?
Hi,
I'm trying to sign in with Apple CloudKit.
I'm using the following code:
'use client';
import { CLOUDKIT_CONSTANTS } from '@/constants/cloudkit';
import { setCloudKitConfigured } from '@/lib/cloudkitSingleton';
import { CloudKitStatic } from '@/types/cloudkit';
import Script from 'next/script';
declare global {
interface Window {
CloudKit: CloudKitStatic;
}
}
export default function Home() {
const initializeCloudKit = async () => {
console.info('⭐️ initializeCloudKit - start');
// 古い認証情報を削除
try {
// LocalStorageから古い認証情報を削除
const keysToRemove = [];
for (let i = 0; i < localStorage.length; i++) {
const key = localStorage.key(i);
if (key && (key.includes('cloudkit') || key.includes('CloudKit'))) {
keysToRemove.push(key);
}
}
keysToRemove.forEach(key => localStorage.removeItem(key));
// SessionStorageからも削除
const sessionKeysToRemove = [];
for (let i = 0; i < sessionStorage.length; i++) {
const key = sessionStorage.key(i);
if (key && (key.includes('cloudkit') || key.includes('CloudKit'))) {
sessionKeysToRemove.push(key);
}
}
sessionKeysToRemove.forEach(key => sessionStorage.removeItem(key));
console.log('古い認証情報を削除しました');
} catch (cleanupError) {
console.warn('認証情報のクリーンアップ中にエラー:', cleanupError);
}
try {
const cloudKit = window.CloudKit.configure({
containers: [
{
containerIdentifier: 'XXXXXX',
apiTokenAuth: {
apiToken: 'XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX',
persist: false,
signInButton: {

theme: 'black',
},
signOutButton: {

},
},
environment: 'development',
},
],
});
console.info('⭐️ cloudKit', cloudKit);
setCloudKitConfigured(true);
const container = cloudKit.getDefaultContainer();
console.info('⭐️ CloudKit configured, setting up auth...');
// 初期認証状態をチェック
try {
const initialUser = await container.setUpAuth();
console.info('⭐️ setUpAuth result:', initialUser);
} catch (authError) {
console.info('⭐️ setUpAuth error (expected for unauthenticated):', authError);
}
// CloudKitの標準コールバックも併用(念のため)
try {
container.whenUserSignsIn().then((userInfo: any) => {
console.info('⭐️ CALLBACK: whenUserSignsIn fired!', userInfo);
});
container.whenUserSignsOut().then(() => {
console.info('⭐️ CALLBACK: whenUserSignsOut fired!');
});
} catch (callbackError) {
console.info('⭐️ Callback setup error (non-critical):', callbackError);
}
console.info('⭐️ initializeCloudKit - completed');
} catch (error) {
console.error('⭐️ Critical CloudKit initialization error:', error);
}
};
return (

<Script

);
}
In Chrome secret tab, I can sign in successfully.
But in Chrome normal tab, I can't sign in.
In normal tab, following error occurs on sign in button click:
cloudkit.js:14 Uncaught (in promise) Error: UNKNOWN_ERROR
cloudkit.js:14 GET https://api.apple-cloudkit.com/database/1/XXXXXX/XXXXXX/public/users/caller?ckjsBuildVersion=2420ProjectDev22&ckjsVersion=2.6.4&clientId=XXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXXX&
ckAPIToken=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
421 (Misdirected Request)
I think, cloudkit instance has re-initialized when I click the sign in button only in normal tab.
So I can't sign in.
Do you have any idea what might be causing the error ?
Thanks in advance for your help!
I have a CoreData model with two configuration - but several problems. Notably the viewContext only shows data from the .private configuration. Here is the setup:
The private configuration holds entities, for example, User and Course and the shared one holds entities, for example, Player and League. I setup the NSPersistentStoreDescriptions to use the same container but with a databaseScope of .private/.shared and with the configuration of "Private"/"Shared". loadPersistentStores() does not report an error.
If I try container.initializeCloudKitSchema() only the .private configuration produces CKRecord types. If I create a companion app using one configuration (w/ all entities) the schema initialization creates all CKRecord types AND I can populate some data in the .private and a created CKShare. I see that data in the CloudKit dashboard.
If I axe the companion app and run the real thing w/ two configurations, the viewContext only has the .private data. Why?
If when querying history I use NSPersistentHistoryTransaction.fetchRequest I get a nil return when using two configurations (but non-nil when using one).
If an app is using top-level models, meaning they exist outside the VersionedSchema enum, is it safe to keep them outside of the VersionedSchema enum and use a migration plan for simple migrations. Moving the models within the VersionedSchema enum I believe would change the identity of the models and result in data being lost, although correct me if I'm wrong in that statement.
The need presently is just to add another variable to the model and then set that variable within the init function:
var updateId = UUID()
The app is presently in TestFlight although I'd like to preserve data for users that are currently using the app.
The data within SwiftData is synchronized with CloudKit and so I'd also like to avoid any impact to synchronization.
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
The stuff I've found by searching has confused me, so hopefully someone can help simplify it for me?
I have an app (I use it for logging which books I've given away), and I could either add a bunch of things to the app, or I could have another app (possibly a CLI tool) to generate some reports I'd like.
