iOS Swift - Local Data Persistence

What will happen if you forget to inject .modelContainer into the SwiftUI app's environment?

AViews using @Environment(\.modelContext) will crash at runtime.

BThe app will compile but data won't save.

CThe app will ignore the model and show empty UI.

DThe app will automatically create a default container.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand environment injection for SwiftData
SwiftUI views need the model container injected via .modelContainer modifier to access data context.
Step 2: Consequence of missing injection
If missing, accessing @Environment(\.modelContext) causes a runtime crash because context is nil.
Final Answer:
Views using @Environment(\.modelContext) will crash at runtime. -> Option A
Quick Check:
Missing modelContainer injection = runtime crash [OK]

Quick Trick: Always inject .modelContainer in app environment [OK]
