I am still checking, butI think that I have encountered this:

developer.apple.com/forums/thr…

#CoreData presumably created a new CloudKit CKAsset field for an `externalStorage` property at runtime when it encountered an asset that is too large for the database. This causes ... 1/2

A picture showing an EOF stack. An RDBMS at the bottom, EOAccess which wraps the SQL above, then EOControl which manages the models, EOInterface which can bind stuff together, and finally AppKit, doing the actual presentation.

I think a key mistake people make when thinking about #CoreData or #SwiftData is primarily considering them a "storage technology". Yes, that is also a part and the thing SQLite wrappers etc also do. But the bigger thing is the "control" layer which maintains […]

I've updated ManagedModels to use SwiftSyntax 601.0.1, which is available as a prebuilt binary. This brings down the build time of the ManagedToDos example from 1min 40s something to ... 7 seconds 🙂

Looks like CloudKit won 🤣

Anyone with knowledge of CoreData + CloudKit, can help me with weird issue that drives me nuts? ♥️

#SwiftUI #Help #CoreData

// Derivation that works entries.@count // Derivation that doesn't seem to work SUBQUERY(entries, $entry, $entry.entityType == "BOTH").@count

I am working on trying to create some derived properties in my CoreData model to count the amount of entries for a tag based on entry type. I shared in the image the total count that is working but the subquery that is not working. Any help would be appreciated. #CoreData #iOSDev #BuildInPublic

Thanks for the reminder and great writeup about this, @corneliusmark.bsky.social 💡🙏

While I *technically* knew about this, I had honestly forgotten it behaves like this and it is quite important to be aware of this during development and testing! #iOSDev #CoreData

Has anyone encountered such a problem? Do we really need to worry about it? It seems like some SwiftData internal problem, as there is no way to work around it as there is in #CoreData.

#iOSDevelopment #techtips #appdevelopment #swift #reactnative #coredata #techinhindi #apple #iphone #iPhoneLaunch

If that fails, I’ll switch to #CoreData, as there are much more materials on how to deal with it, not to mention it’s a mature framework. Now it’s time to at last rest before the new week! ☺️
#BuildInPublic #IndieDev #iOSDev

All that made me think, maybe #CoreData would be a better choice, but at this point I’m a bit afraid to change everything. On the other hand, it’d be better to do it now than after the official release, I guess.
#Swift #iOSApp #AppDevelopment

Dear #coredata #swiftlang people. It’s been a while since I’ve had to deal with migrations. IIRC back then model versions were mandatory, otherwise the app would crash in production (while doing fine in development).

I have a Swift5 app with a #cloudkit backed CoreData db.

SwiftUI Previews with #CoreData is easier than ever thanks to the new PreviewModifier protocol introduced at this year's WWDC.

I've mistakenly always thought it would only work for #SwiftData but it turns out it's perfectly fine for Core Data too! 😀

I want 2 things from a persistence framework:

1. Let the UI observe what's in the store in real time
2. Query the store in an efficient way

I've been using #SwiftData in the last few weeks.
It's nice for 1, but lacks 2 😞

#CoreData is still way better imo (but verbose 😂)

Date._unconditionallyBridgeFromObjectiveC(NSDate?) crash in Swift 3 I have following function in a swift file. I am calling this from Obj C file with NSDate in place of startDate. And quite often, not every time, my app crashes with Date.

Wow ok so #TIL that non optional types in Core Data can actually be nil! Looks like Strings and Ints can default to "" and 0, but if you use something like a Date or UUID it could just be nil at some stage in runtime 🤯

Should I use #SwiftData or #CoreData for a new feature in business-card.nfc.cool? The app has deployment target iOS17. I want to use CloudKit and make some basic CRUD operations. I could limit this feature to iOS 18 users. What's your opinion on this?
