Yes, I am aware of SwiftData. SwiftData is a framework introduced with iOS 17 that allows developers to model and persist app data across all of Apple's platforms using Swift. It provides a lightweight API for defining schemas, managing data persistence, and handling data migrations. SwiftData supports features like custom data stores, indexing, unique constraints, and history tracking, which make it flexible and powerful for various data storage needs.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the session What’s new in SwiftData (00:00:07) which covers the new features and capabilities of SwiftData. Additionally, the session Create a custom data store with SwiftData (00:00:07) provides insights into using custom persistence backends with SwiftData.
Track model changes with SwiftData history
Reveal the history of your model’s changes with SwiftData! Use the history API to understand when data store changes occurred, and learn how to use this information to build features like remote server sync and out-of-process change handing in your app. We’ll also cover how you can build support for the history API into a custom data store.
What’s new in SwiftData
SwiftData makes it easy to add persistence to your app with its expressive, declarative API. Learn about refinements to SwiftData, including compound uniqueness constraints, faster queries with #Index, queries in Xcode previews, and rich predicate expressions. Join us to explore how you can use all of these features to express richer models and improve performance in your app. To discover how to build a custom data store or use the history API in SwiftData, watch “Create a custom data store with SwiftData” and “Track model changes with SwiftData history”.

Create a custom data store with SwiftData
Combine the power of SwiftData’s expressive, declarative modeling API with your own persistence backend. Learn how to build a custom data store and explore how to progressively add persistence features in your app. To get the most out of this session, watch “Meet SwiftData” and “Model your schema with SwiftData” from WWDC23.
