A quick code snippet showing how to make an already-created Realm file private
Raw
CopyRealmFileToLibrary.swift
let fileManager = FileManager.default
var configuration = Realm.Configuration()
let defaultRealmURL = configuration.fileURL!
// Get the path to the Library directory and append 'default.realm' to it
let libraryDirectoryPath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.libraryDirectory, .userDomainMask, true).first!
let libraryDirectoryURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: libraryDirectoryPath)
let newRealmURL = libraryDirectoryURL.appendingPathComponent(defaultRealmURL.lastPathComponent)
// There is a user-created default.realm in the Documents directory
if fileManager.fileExists(atPath: defaultRealmURL.path) {
try! fileManager.moveItem(atPath: defaultRealmURL.path, toPath: newRealmURL.path)
}
// Set the Realm configuration to point to the new Realm file location
configuration.fileURL = newRealmURL
Realm.Configuration.defaultConfiguration = configuration
// calls to 'Realm()' will now come from the Library directory
