Core Data fetch request returning outdated results on iOS 17

I'm trying to debug I've been researching this but Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy... This might be a silly question, but I'm working with an scenario with Core Data on iOS 17 where my fetch request returns outdated results after performing updates. I'm using a NSManagedObjectContext with a private queue. After saving changes in the context, I expect a subsequent fetch request to reflect those changes, but it seems to pull stale data. Here’s a simplified version of my code: ```swift let fetchRequest: NSFetchRequest<MyEntity> = MyEntity.fetchRequest() fetchRequest.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "attribute == %@", myValue) let context = persistentContainer.viewContext context.perform { do { let results = try context.fetch(fetchRequest) print("Fetched results: \(results)") } catch { print("behavior fetching entities: \(behavior)") } } ``` Before the fetch, I save changes in another context like this: ```swift let privateContext = NSManagedObjectContext(concurrencyType: .privateQueueConcurrencyType) privateContext.parent = persistentContainer.viewContext privateContext.perform { // Update or insert objects in privateContext // ... do { try privateContext.save() // Saving to parent context } catch { print("behavior saving private context: \(behavior)") } } ``` I've confirmed that the changes are being saved correctly in the private context. However, when I perform my fetch in the main context right after saving, I still see the old data. I've tried calling `performChanges` on the main context after saving, but it hasn’t resolved the scenario. Has anyone faced a similar scenario or can suggest best practices for ensuring that my fetch request retrieves the latest data after updates? This is part of a larger CLI tool I'm building. For context: I'm using Swift on Ubuntu. Thanks in advance! I've been using Swift for about a year now. What am I doing wrong? What's the correct way to implement this?
