Can this skill handle complex data transformations during migration?

Yes, it provides implementation patterns for custom migration stages that allow for data cleanup, default value assignment, and complex transformations before or after schema updates.

Is it safe to use for apps with existing iCloud user data?

Absolutely. The skill includes specific strategies for iCloud compatibility, such as ensuring relationship optionality and implementing field-level merge or last-writer-wins conflict resolution.

Does it support gradual migration for large codebases?

Yes, it details a 'Coexistence Pattern' where CoreData and SwiftData can run side-by-side, allowing teams to migrate features incrementally rather than all at once.

What iOS versions are targeted by these patterns?

The patterns focus on iOS 17 and above, following the requirements for SwiftData, with recommendations optimized for the latest Xcode environments.
