To understand how diffable data sources and Core Data are integrated with Swift Data, you can refer to the following sessions from WWDC 2024:

  1. Platforms State of the Union:

    • This session discusses how Swift Data integrates with Core Data, making it easier to work with queries while iterating on views. It also covers the expanded capabilities of Swift Data, including custom data stores and tracking changes in a datastore.
  2. Create a custom data store with SwiftData:

    • This session provides a detailed example of creating a custom data store using Swift Data. It explains how to adopt a custom store in Swift Data and how it can read and write data to any storage format or persistence backend.
  3. What’s new in SwiftData:

    • This session highlights the new features in Swift Data, including custom data stores, indexing, and unique constraints. It also shows how to use Swift Data APIs with different data formats and how to create custom containers for use with Xcode previews.
