how can i Migrate Realm without losing any data - Kotlin

Question

I've been trying to rename field or add new field to my realm database. But i'm getting error like this. I tried to debug my app it looks like oldVersion++ is not increasing the old schema version. Detailed Error is down below

Any help would be appreciated.

io.realm.exceptions.RealmMigrationNeededException: Migration is required due to the following errors:
Property 'TransferDetailModel.MainUniqueId' has been made optional.

Migration.kt

open class Migration : RealmMigration {

    override fun migrate(realm: DynamicRealm, oldVersion: Long, newVersion: Long) {

        var oldVersion = oldVersion
        val schema = realm.schema
 if (oldVersion == 0L) {
            val tdmSchema = schema.get("TransferDetailModel")

            tdmSchema!!
                    .addField("MainUniqueId", String::class.java, FieldAttribute.REQUIRED)
                    .transform { obj -> obj.set("MainUniqueId", obj.getString("DetailUniqueId"))}
                    .removeField("DetailUniqueId")
            oldVersion++
        }
    }
}
`

BaseApplication.kt

open class BaseApplication: Application() {

    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        Realm.init(this)
        var mConfiguration = RealmConfiguration.Builder()
                .name("BSOMSDB.realm")
                .schemaVersion(1)
                .migration(Migration())
                .build()
        Realm.setDefaultConfiguration(mConfiguration)

        val realm = Realm.getDefaultInstance()
    }
}

ProductTransferMain.kt

lateinit var realm: Realm

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_product_transfer_main)
        Realm.init(this)

realm = Realm.getDefaultInstance() // Getting error at this line

TransferDetailModel

@RealmClass
open class TransferDetailModel: RealmObject() {

Answer 1

Realm.init(this) sets a default RealmConfiguration and should ONLY be called inside Application.onCreate.

The default configuration overrides your RealmConfiguration, and that's why the migration doesn't run.
