Solution

  • The realm .lock file is an under the hood file used only by realm. You will never need to work with that file directly or bundle it when using a bundled realm. All that's needed the the realm file itself, dragged into the XCode project.

    Here's how to access a bundled Realm called MyBundledData.realm:

    let config = Realm.Configuration(
        // Get the URL to the bundled file
        fileURL: Bundle.main.url(forResource: "MyBundledData", withExtension: "realm"),
        // Open the file in read-only mode as application bundles are not writeable
        readOnly: true)
    
    // Open the Realm with the configuration
    let realm = try! Realm(configuration: config)
    

    that should be all that's needed
