What interfaces do I use to propagate a CloudKit change in a shared zone to a notification/badge to all participants in the shared zone? Assume I have a 'League' that is the root object in a shared zone and that N Players are members of the league. One of the players, the 'organizer', schedules a 'Game' that is open to any of the players. When the organizer creates the game (in the league's shared zone) and it is mirrored in CloudKit, how can the other players see it (as a timely notification)? I already observe .NSPersistentStoreRemoteChange on NSPersistentStoreCoordinator and NSPersistentCloudKitContainer.eventChangedNotification on NSPersistentCloudKitContainer. Are these delivered in the background? Can/Should they generate a 'local/remote' notification for handling at the AppDelegate level? How? Do I need to use a CKDatabaseSubscription looking for CD_Game records directly? (I'd rather not; because then I'd have a potential race between the remote iCloud database(s) and the local CoreData)

I am using the public cloud database to store my application data, this data is accessed by all users of the application, but at some point it is necessary for a user who did not create a respective data in the database to delete it, but from what I read in the documentation this is not possible, only with a permission. How do I allow a user to change or delete any data created by another user in the public cloud database?

Young developer (old man though) need some advice/guidance on how to fault find iCloud issues. A new App, pretty much started with iCloud setup, and I believe I have fulfilled all the necessary prerequisites. I have built other Apps that have worked find on iCloud, but this one simply refuses to work. Error messages from the Console log file as follows: =====>> error: CoreData+CloudKit: -[NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate _performSetupRequest:]_block_invoke(1223): <NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate: 0x2812901e0>: Failed to set up CloudKit integration for store: <NSSQLCore: 0x15bd05ee0> (URL: file:///var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/EB138C06-5CE0-4FD2-BDCB-3087AF075ED6/Library/Application%20Support/MyShoppingLists.store) <CKError 0x2823edf80: "Partial Failure" (2/1011); "Failed to modify some record zones"; uuid = 838326A8-25E4-4239-8FBF-F2604F1DEC3D; partial errors: { com.apple.coredata.cloudkit.zone:defaultOwner = <CKError 0x2823ed230: "Server Rejected Request" (15/2001); "Request failed with http status code 500"; uuid = 838326A8-25E4-4239-8FBF-F2604F1DEC3D> }> <<=====>> error: CoreData+CloudKit: NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate recoverFromError:](2303): <NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate: 0x2812901e0> - Attempting recovery from error: <CKError 0x2823edf80: "Partial Failure" (2/1011); "Failed to modify some record zones"; uuid = 838326A8-25E4-4239-8FBF-F2604F1DEC3D; partial errors: { com.apple.coredata.cloudkit.zone:defaultOwner = <CKError 0x2823ed230: "Server Rejected Request" (15/2001); "Request failed with http status code 500"; uuid = 838326A8-25E4-4239-8FBF-F2604F1DEC3D> }> <<=====>> error: CoreData+CloudKit: NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate _recoverFromError:withZoneIDs:forStore:inMonitor:](2604): <NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate: 0x2812901e0> - Failed to recover from error: CKErrorDomain:15 Recovery encountered the following error: (null):0 <<===== Thanks in advance for any suggestions...

Hey everyone, I'm trying to get the user's name to display in a welcome screen, but unfortunatelly no success so far. For that, I'm using CKContainer.default().shareParticipant(forUserRecordID: recordID).userIdentity.nameComponents, but the returned nameComponents are empty, despite receiving no error and accountStatus of .available. Here's my code: struct Helper { static func getUserInformation() async throws -> Models.UserInfo { let container = CKContainer.default() let accountStatus = try! await container.accountStatus() var accountStatusDescription = "" switch accountStatus { case .couldNotDetermine: accountStatusDescription = "couldNotDetermine" case .available: accountStatusDescription = "available" case .restricted: accountStatusDescription = "restricted" case .noAccount: accountStatusDescription = "noAccount" case .temporarilyUnavailable: accountStatusDescription = "temporarilyUnavailable" @unknown default: accountStatusDescription = "default" } print("[Helper] CKContainer accountStatus: \(accountStatusDescription) ") // Prints "[Helper] CKContainer accountStatus: available" do { let recordID = try await container.userRecordID() let id = recordID.recordName let participant = try await container.shareParticipant(forUserRecordID: recordID) guard let nameComponents = participant.userIdentity.nameComponents else { throw Models.ServiceError.userIdentityUnknownName } print("[Helper] CKShare.Participant nameComponents \(nameComponents)") // Prints "[Helper] CKShare.Participant nameComponents - " print("[Helper] CKShare nameComponents.givenName \(String(describing: nameComponents.givenName))") print("[Helper] CKShare nameComponents.nickname \(String(describing: nameComponents.nickname))") print("[Helper] CKShare nameComponents.familyName \(String(describing: nameComponents.familyName))") print("[Helper] CKShare nameComponents.namePrefix \(String(describing: nameComponents.namePrefix))") print("[Helper] CKShare nameComponents.nameSuffix \(String(describing: nameComponents.nameSuffix))") print("[Helper] CKShare nameComponents.middleName \(String(describing: nameComponents.middleName))") let name = PersonNameComponentsFormatter().string(from: nameComponents) return Models.UserInfo( id: id, name: name ) } catch { throw error } } } Other than that, this project is using CloudKit for persistence through SwiftData and everything seems to be duly setup and working fine. Any idea of what I might be missing? Any user permissions required? As far as I understood, from iOS 17 on and using this code, no permissions are required anymore but I may be wrong. Any hint / help would be much appreciated! Cheers, Jorge

I enabled Advanced Data Protection for my developer account, and this (understandably) broke access to my private records in CloudKit Console. I disabled Advanced Data Protection but CloudKit Console still cannot connect. In the database popup the "Click here to retry..." option always fails silently. Does anyone know a workaround?

I implemented to my app iCloud backup and restore services. Basically App uploads it's document directory files to iCloud using NSURL containerURL = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] URLForUbiquityContainerIdentifier:nil]; and [fileManager copyItemAtURL:fileURL toURL:destinationURL error:&error]; and everything has been OK to upload files. By checking my iCloud account, it has taken the space needed to store those files. However, when I changed my decice, I'm unable to get those files back. At first, files had .icloud extra extension added, but now the function just reports only 5 files from few hunder. The function used to get backup files is: `- (NSArray) getBackupFiles { NSError *error; NSURL *containerURL = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] URLForUbiquityContainerIdentifier:nil]; if (!containerURL) return nil; // NSArray *keysArray = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects: nil]; NSArray *resultsArray = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] contentsOfDirectoryAtURL:containerURL includingPropertiesForKeys:nil options:NSDirectoryEnumerationSkipsHiddenFiles error:&error]; if (error) { [self myAlertView:error.localizedDescription]; return nil; } else return resultsArray; } Any ideas, what went wrong?`

I'm having some trouble with the following function from the CKSyncEngineDelegate protocol. func nextRecordZoneChangeBatch(_ context: CKSyncEngine.SendChangesContext, syncEngine: CKSyncEngine) async -> CKSyncEngine.RecordZoneChangeBatch? { The sample code from the documentation is func nextRecordZoneChangeBatch( _ context: CKSyncEngine.SendChangesContext, syncEngine: CKSyncEngine ) async -> CKSyncEngine.RecordZoneChangeBatch? { // Get the pending record changes and filter by the context's scope. let pendingChanges = syncEngine.state.pendingRecordZoneChanges .filter { context.options.zoneIDs.contains($0) } // Return a change batch that contains the corresponding materialized records. return await CKSyncEngine.RecordZoneChangeBatch( pendingChanges: pendingChanges) { self.recordFor(id: $0) } } init?(pendingChanges: [CKSyncEngine.PendingRecordZoneChange], recordProvider: (CKRecord.ID) -> (CKRecord?)) works fine for the sample app which only has one record type, but it seems incredible inefficient for my app which has a dozen different record types. The recordProvider gives you a CKRecord.ID, but not the CKRecord.RecordType. Searching each record type for a matching ID seems very inefficient. Doesn't the CKSyncEngine.PendingRecordZoneChange contain an array of CKRecords, not just CKRecord.IDs? According to the documentation CKSyncEngine.RecordZoneChangeBatch has a recordsToSave property, but Xcode reports 'CKSyncEngine.PendingRecordZoneChange' has no member 'recordsToSave' I'm looking for someway to get the CKRecords from syncEngine.state.pendingRecordZoneChanges.

I get this error even though everything is turned on, how can I solve it? It works on IOS but I get this error on VisionOS CoreData: error: CoreData+CloudKit: -[NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate _recoverFromPartialError:forStore:inMonitor:]_block_invoke(2726): <NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate: 0x600003b0c700>: Found unknown error as part of a partial failure: <CKError 0x600000cce460: "Permission Failure" (10/2007); server message = "Invalid bundle ID for container"; op = 7FE8CD52A7B2E8FC; uuid = D8D1F2C9-2C01-45B2-BECC-270CA5520D55; container ID = "iCloud.Multitools"> let previewContainer:ModelContainer = { do { let config = ModelConfiguration(cloudKitDatabase: .private("iCloud.Multitools")) let container = try ModelContainer(for: NoteModel.self, configurations: config) return container } catch { fatalError("Error to create container") } }()

I want to make icloud backup using SwiftData in VisionOS and I need to use SwiftData first but I get the following error even though I do the following steps I followed the steps below I created a Model import Foundation import SwiftData @Model class NoteModel { @Attribute(.unique) var id: UUID var date:Date var title:String var text:String init(id: UUID = UUID(), date: Date, title: String, text: String) { self.id = id self.date = date self.title = title self.text = text } } I added modelContainer WindowGroup(content: { NoteView() }) .modelContainer(for: [NoteModel.self]) And I'm making inserts to test import SwiftUI import SwiftData struct NoteView: View { @Environment(\.modelContext) private var context var body: some View { Button(action: { // new Note let note = NoteModel(date: Date(), title: "New Note", text: "") context.insert(note) }, label: { Image(systemName: "note.text.badge.plus") .font(.system(size: 24)) .frame(width: 30, height: 30) .padding(12) .background( RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 50) .foregroundStyle(.black.opacity(0.2)) ) }) .buttonStyle(.plain) .hoverEffectDisabled(true) } } #Preview { NoteView().modelContainer(for: [NoteModel.self]) }

I am checking the Push Notification Console of Cloudkit to understand my apps push delivery metrics. There are nice metrics in there to see push sends and discards. But I couldn't see any metric to understand "How many of the users opened the notiifications I send". Is there any way me to understand this statistic? Also can we export this metrics without logging in to CloudKit like an API request?

I have created a simple app where a user is tracking their mood. A simple click of the button inserts the necessary data to a CloudKit database. So I consider each record as a 'transactional' record. I am able to successfully query the data and present in a list view. I am able to sort and incorporate simple predicates. I am now at a point in my development that I would like to add a pie chart based on the users data and I am not sure how to roll-up the data / group by the data / aggregate the data [I am not sure what the correct terminology is within Swift] The pie chart would show the various moods that the exists in the CloudKit database and the slices would be sized based on the count of each mood. Any guidance that you can provide would be greatly helpful!

My apps are set up to store data in a SQLite database on the device. The user is also able to add images and those are also stored on the device. The database and images are stored in the apps documents folder. The database is set up with four tables, one of them containing a list of selectable items so the information in that table is constant. The other three are read/write to the user. The database also contains a field, which contains true/false as to whether the app has been purchased or not. My thought behind was that this would make the users data private and secure. My apps are set up using UIKit so SwiftData is not an option unless I rewrite the entire app in SwiftUI. Or is there a good way to use SwiftData in UIKit? Is there a way to store/move this information into the cloud so that the data can be synced across multiple devices? Or maybe set up an import/export scenario using a CSV file for the database using Dropbox? Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have a shopping list app that shares a list of Product records between users. The app on my phone shared its private database with another user account (running on a simulator) which accepted it. Both devices can see changes from the other if the device does a full refresh from iCloud. Now I want to have the app on the devices be notified when the other changes/adds/deletes a Product record. I did the following to get push notifications to work (but haven't been successful yet) I have enabled background fetch and remote notifications in my app capabilities. The app registers for remote notifications with UIApplication.shared.registerForRemoteNotifications() and receives the didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken callback. The app sets a subscription with CKModifySubscriptionsOperation for the "Product" recordType. I set the QoS to .utility on the appropriate private or shared database. However, when I add a Product record on my record, the didReceiveRemoteNotification callback doesn't execute. What am I missing?

I'm currently facing an interesting issue. A customer is reporting back that my app is crashing on launch for them. I can see the crash logs (using AppCenter for crash management), and the reason the app is crashing seems to be in CoreData: (Attaching text for seachability, and screenshot for readability): libsystem_platform.dylib _platform_memmove$VARIANT$Haswell CoreData -[_PFExternalReferenceData initForExternalLocation:safeguardLocation:data:protectionLevel:] CoreData -[NSSQLSavePlan _populateRow:fromObject:timestamp:inserted:shouldAddToRowCache:] CoreData -[NSSQLSavePlan _createRowsForSave] CoreData -[NSSQLSaveChangesRequestContext executePrologue] CoreData -[NSSQLCore dispatchRequest:withRetries:] CoreData -[NSSQLCore executeRequest:withContext:error:] CoreData -[NSPersistentStoreCoordinator executeRequest:withContext:error:] CoreData -[NSPersistentStoreCoordinator _routeHeavyweightBlock:] CoreData -[NSPersistentStoreCoordinator executeRequest:withContext:error:] CoreData -[NSManagedObjectContext save:] I have never seen that crash before, it's the first time it is appearing since CoreData has been incorporated into the app (in 2016 or so). Any hints on what could possibly be happening? I am unable to provoke the crash on my end, thus debugging is quite interesting.

When I add or delete data of my entity type I can see the updates (between the simulator and the phone) but when i edit I dont see the updates although table view is reloaded. The console says Ignoring remote change notification because it didn't change any entities tracked by persistent history When I rebuild the app for both device and simulator I see it reflecting the most current changes. Any help? Neerav
