We explore how SQLiteData gives you precise control over your data model, including larger blobs of data, by adding a photo avatar feature to our scorekeeping app. Along the way we will explore a new iOS 26 style confirmation dialogs and a SwiftUI binding trick.

Every once in awhile we release a new episode free for all to see, and today is that day! Please enjoy this episode, and if you find this interesting you may want to consider a subscription https://www.pointfree.co/pricing.

We add another feature to our SQLiteData-based app to show how the tools interact with observable models and SwiftUI view lifecycles. We'll show how the library gives you ultimate control over the precision and performance of how data is fetched and loaded in your app.

We give a tour of our SQLiteData library, a fast and lightweight alternative to SwiftData.

We'll set up a fresh project with the package, define models and configure the database, and

even write SQL migrations with the help of Xcode's Coding Assistant.

We round out are synchronization series with a grab bag finale. We'll explore explicit synchronization, custom logout behavior, how the library handles read-only permissions, and how you can incorporate theses permissions in your app's behavior.

We add advanced sharing functionality to our reminders app by fetching and displaying participant information, all without hitting CloudKit servers by leveraging SQLiteData's metadata, instead. Along the way we will explore two powerful tools to simplify our app: database "views" and the `@DatabaseFunction` macro.

We want SQLiteData to work seamlessly behind the scenes without you having to worry about how it works, but we also wanted to make sure you had full access to everything happening under the hood. Let’s explore the secret sync metadata table to see how we can fetch and even join against data related to sync, including sharing information and more.

We add iCloud sharing and collaboration to our reminders app rewrite, so that multiple users

can edit the same reminders list. It takes surprisingly little code, no changes to our

feature's logic, and handles all manner of conflict resolution and more.

We introduce a new feature to our reminders app: cover images for each reminders list. This pushes us to create a brand new database table to synchronize, and allows us to demonstrate how SQLiteData seamlessly handles binary blobs by converting them to CloudKit assets under the hood.

With our database migrated, it's time to take the `SyncEngine` for a spin to see how it seamlessly synchronizes data to and from iCloud, how it resolves conflicts when records are edited and deleted from multiple devices, and even how records are synchronized from different versions of the application and database schema.

We show how to add iCloud synchronization to the persistence layer of an existing SQLite application by using SQLiteData. While SQLiteData's CloudKit tools can be configured with a single line of code, one must still prepare their database schema to be compatible and durable when it comes to synchronizing across multiple devices and versions.
