How can I get all the unique attributes from an Entity?
E.g.:
EntityA = "a: String?, b: Int?, entityB: EntityB?"
EntityB = "a: String?, b: Int?"

My code:

let result = try self.dataStack.fetchAll(From<EntityA>()
    .where(clauses)
    .tweak {
        $0.resultType = .dictionaryResultType
        $0.propertiesToFetch = ["entityB"]
        $0.returnsDistinctResults = true
})

fetchAll waits for [EntityA] and crash to return

You can use queryAttributes(...) for this. See https://github.com/JohnEstropia/CoreStore#querying (Specifically the entries on queryAttributes(...))

I tried and it doesn't work
СoreStore can't do requests of the attributes with a check for uniqueness.

Sorry, I'm not sure I understood your question then. Your example says

E.g.:
EntityA = "a: String?, b: Int?, entityB: EntityB?"
EntityB = "a: String?, b: Int?"

so I assumed you were querying properties. Can you give a concrete example of data and what results you are after?

This question can be closed, I think I figured it out.
If you're trying to extract query attribute from EntityA as other CoreData Entity -> result: Array of [String : NSManagedObjectID].
After conversion we need to fetch entities for this ids. Example:

let values = try self.dataStack.queryAttributes(From<EntityA>(),
                                                Select(#keyPath(EntityA.entityB)),
                                                Where(\.entityB != nil && ...),
                                                GroupBy(\EntityA.entityB),
                                                OrderBy(.ascending(\EntityA.entityB?.name)),
                                                Tweak { $0.returnsDistinctResults = true })
let ids: [NSManagedObjectID] = values.compactMap { $0.first?.value as? NSManagedObjectID }
let result: [EntityB] = self.dataStack.fetchExisting(ids)

In Tweak we can add { $0.resultType = .managedObjectResultType }) for fetch Entities instead Ids, but, app crashes.
