I want to migrate my SwiftData database from its existing location to a shared group container under MacOS. ChatGPT strongly warns me against copying the underlying files because its not Apple supported and "will eventually fail in subtle ways". Does it have a point?
 
"Will eventually fail" is nonsense. Apple apps do this all the time for iCloud sync. Just make sure you copy all associated files, and you're good.
Thanks for the reassurance - it seems straightforward and would be much easier (and less prone to mistakes) than migrating individual objects between containers.
