I have looking for NSPersistentDocument SwiftUI example several days, but could NOT find one. Here are some similar or relation questions. Unfortunately, this problem is not solved.

EDIT: Upload this issue project to Github, https://github.com/donly/DocMacDemo.


Solution

  • This is due to emptiness of new document. As in any document-based application you have to prepare some default initial data for new document

    Here is possible solution. Tested with Xcode 11.4 / iOS 13.4

    in Document.swift

    class Document: NSPersistentDocument {
    
        // .. other code here
    
        override func makeWindowControllers() {
    
            // in case of new document create new empty book in context
            // that will be shown in opened document window
            let isNew = self.fileURL == nil
            if isNew {
                _ = Book(context: self.managedObjectContext!)       // << here !!
            }
    
            let contentView = ContentView().environment(\.managedObjectContext, self.managedObjectContext!)
    
            // ... other code here
