Update Realm primary key value swift

Question

Im using Realm for my iOS app and for a table i have a primary key "name"

                let application  = Application()
                application.domain = app.domain
                application.name = app.name
                realm.add(application)

now when it try to update the name it throws an error

app?.name = newName

the error is

Primary key can't be changed after an object is inserted.

How do i solve this problem ?

this is how I declare the primary key

override static func primaryKey() -> String? {
        return "name"
    }

Once you insert an object with a primary key you cannot modify it:

From Realm Docs

primary key is added to a Realm, the primary key cannot be changed.

Which leave you with few options:

• Remove and reinsert the object
• Change the primary key to something that doesn't change, like id
• Omit the Primary Key . If you don't define one, you don't have a primary key, which means you can have more than one object with the same value for this property and it won't be indexed by this property.
