Ah, looks like #SwiftData still uses #CloudKit for sync and I don't see anything about improvements to that in this year's WWDC. The developer story around CloudKit is... definitely not my favorite. I would really love to see Apple improve this in future years. It makes Apple-native sync solutions a non-starter for me.

So for syncing data across devices, I will definitely still be using #Realm and MongoDB Atlas Device Sync.

Time to dive into local persistence…

From the #SwiftData docs:

> SwiftData has uses beyond persisting locally created content. For example, an app that fetches data from a remote web service might use SwiftData to implement a lightweight caching mechanism and provide limited offline functionality.

#Realm gets this really right. It can be an "offline first" DB and automagically handles network connectivity, conflict resolution, and integrating changes on a background thread.

Curious what this takes in SwiftData.

As a #Realm DB enthusiast, I'm really curious how #SwiftData compares.

The getting started experience is pretty slick. Creating a new iOS project using SwiftData populates:

- A default model
- ContentView has a NavigationView List with the model
- Default query
- Default funcs with animation to add and remove items
- Environment objects for the model container

Apple using its first party advantage!

Curious how it holds up w/more complex use. Psyched to learn more!

Anyone else having problems with #Realm on #Swift 5.7?
Problem is #async await and threading. #Github issue (https://github.com/realm/realm-swift/issues/7737#issuecomment-1260338517) has been opened.

Does anyone have the same problem or a possible solution?

#introduction
Oh, right, I suppose I should introduce myself!

I'm a #writer who gave up on #novels and #freelance work in 2017 for the much better-paying land of #technicalwriting - my day job is Developer Educator at #MongoDB . I prefer document and object databases over #SQL - #Realm is an awesome mobile DB.

I've been teaching myself #Swift and #SwiftUI. I released my first #iOS app in March, and hit the top of my category! Now I'm working on a #macOS app.

I live in Vermont, USA with my husband, our two dogs, and a very majestic cat. And my lovely green tractor. Lots of #gardening and outdoor projects.

We have an ambulance we converted to an RV for #overland #travel . Not traveling much currently.

Hoping to find "my people" in this strange new Fediverse I'm exploring.
