I'm following the realm documentation on how to bundle a realm file. I've successfully loaded all necessary data into my encrypted file, but I can't seem to compact the file and move it elsewhere.
// AppDelegate
fileprivate func compactRealm() {
if let realmPath = Realm.Configuration.defaultConfiguration.fileURL {
let destination = realmPath.deletingLastPathComponent().appendingPathComponent("compact.realm")
if FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: realmPath.path) {
do {
// let encryption = Constants.key.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8)
try Realm().writeCopy(toFile: destination)
print("File normally compressed !")
} catch {
fatalError(error.localizedDescription)
}
} else {
print("Realm file does not exist")
// fatalError()
}
}
}
Error Domain=io.realm Code=2 "Unable to open a realm at path '/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/B4D487F8-5AEC-4906-B989-7DB953095A35/Documents/default.realm': Not a Realm file."

I've checked : the realm file does exist !.
BTW, I've tried the same code with unencrypted file and it worked, so I don't know it wouldn't work with an encrypted realm file !
It appears that your line try Realm().writeCopy(toFile: destination) basically opens the default realm file, but without the key needed to decrypt it (I'm assuming you've already encrypted it here before attempting to write a compact copy).
Realm complains that the file can't be opened because it's not a Realm file (it's not, it's a scrambled version of it).
Open the Realm using the appropriate encryption key (try Realm(configuration: config) or similar) and then try writing a copy.
