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?
Got a tip for us?

"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.
