A very simple CoreData app: All code provided below.
- Start up with CoreData template single view app.
- 2 entities with a string attribute each: Message(title) and Post(name)
A NavigationView containing
- NavigationLink to a list of messages
- NavigationLink to a list of posts
Each linked ListView (Message/Post) has
- a button to add an item to the list
- a button to remove all items from the list
Now, when you run this app on a simulator (any iOS 13.x version) all runs as expected from the description above.
But on a DEVICE running iOS 13.4
- Tap "Messages"
- Creating/deleting messages works fine, SwiftUi view updates immediately.
- Tap "back"
- Tap "Messages" again. While still creating/deleting messages works fine: The debugger now shows a warning: "Context in environment is not connected to a persistent store coordinator: NSManagedObjectContext: 0x280ed72c0
- Tap "Posts" ==> App crashes with EXC_BREAKPOINT (code=1, subcode=0x1f3751f08)
You can start the process with Posts first, too. Then the same crash occurs on the messages list view.
I strongly believe this is an iOS 13.4 bug because similar code ran fine on Xcode 11.3 / iOS 13.3.
Does anyone know a fix or workaround for this?

The ContentView:
import SwiftUI
import CoreData
struct MessageList: View {
@Environment(\.managedObjectContext) var moc
@FetchRequest(entity: Message.entity(), sortDescriptors: [])
var messages: FetchedResults<Message>
var body: some View {
List() {
ForEach(messages, id: \.self) { message in
Text(message.title ?? "?")
}
}
.navigationBarItems(trailing:
HStack(spacing: 16) {
Button(action: deleteMessages) {
Image(systemName: "text.badge.minus")
}
Button(action: addMessage) {
Image(systemName: "plus.app")
}
}
)
}
func addMessage() {
let m = Message(context: moc)
m.title = "Message: \(Date())"
try! moc.save()
}
func deleteMessages() {
messages.forEach {
moc.delete($0)
}
}
}
struct PostList: View {
@Environment(\.managedObjectContext) var moc
@FetchRequest(entity: Post.entity(), sortDescriptors: [])
var posts: FetchedResults<Post>
var body: some View {
List {
ForEach(0..<posts.count, id: \.self) { post in
Text(self.posts[post].name ?? "?")
}
}
.navigationBarItems(trailing:
HStack(spacing: 16) {
Button(action: deletePosts) {
Image(systemName: "text.badge.minus")
}
Button(action: addPost) {
Image(systemName: "plus.app")
}
}
)
}
func addPost() {
let p = Post(context: moc)
p.name = "Post \(UUID().uuidString)"
try! moc.save()
}
func deletePosts() {
posts.forEach {
moc.delete($0)
}
try! moc.save()
}
}
struct ContentView: View {
@Environment(\.managedObjectContext) var moc
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
VStack(alignment: .leading){
NavigationLink(destination: MessageList()) {
Text("Messages")
}.padding()
NavigationLink(destination: PostList()) {
Text("Posts")
}.padding()
Spacer()
}
}.navigationViewStyle(StackNavigationViewStyle())
}
}
struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static let moc = (UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate).persistentContainer.viewContext
static var previews: some View {
ContentView()
.environment(\.managedObjectContext, moc)
}
}
