“NSPersistentCloudKitContainer”

I am using the NSPersistentCloudKitContainer for my app's core data. This works well enough on a single device. However, (using the same Apple ID) when I run my app on a second device, the data on cloud kit is ignored. What is the magic code needed to pull the cloud kit data into my app's core data store?

How can I set the display name of the CloudKit container in Settings -> iCloud -> Manage Storage. I have multiple containers, some legacy, and some for certain modules that are shared among a suite of apps. The problem is all Containers show the same name so it is not possible to advise a user which containers are safe to delete. I am using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer.

For a bit of context, I store binary files of about 50KB in my Core Data. I noticed that enabling the Allows External Storage option doesn't seem to make any difference. Additionally, how does this setting work with CloudKit when using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer? Does this setting affect how the data is loaded into memory when accessed in Core Data in the app? Thank you very much!

1/ Signing & capabilities background mode - > remote notification cloud -> cloudkit @ container created 2/ coredata ->used with cloudkit & all attributes are optionals 3/ appDelegate NSPersistentCloudKitContainer viewContext.automaticallyMergesChangesFromParent = true AND it's not working on my two devices (iPhone & iPad) under iOs 15.0.2 What did I forget?

Hello I am making a To-Do list app where I use CoreData and CloudKit, the problem is that when I added this line of code container.persistentStoreDescriptions = [NSPersistentStoreDescription(url: fileContainer.appendingPathComponent(MJ.sqlite))] to the PersistenceController, iCloud syncing stopped working. (I need that line of code in order to permit to extensions to access the CoreData database) Any idea to solve the problem? This is all the PersistenceController code struct PersistenceController { static let shared = PersistenceController() let container: NSPersistentCloudKitContainer init(inMemory: Bool = false) { container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: MJ) guard let fileContainer = FileManager.default.containerURL(forSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier: group.name) else { fatalError(Shared file container could not be created.) } container.persistentStoreDescriptions = [NSPersistentStoreDescription(url: fileContainer.appendingPathComponent(MJ.sqlite))] container.loadPersistentStore

I have several different apps that I'd like to share a personal core data store with on the same device and across devices. I've been experimenting with NSPersistentCloudKitContainer, which seems to work, but it can take a while to sync and it's not clear when it has. I have also experimented with using app groups where the SQLite file is placed in the app group so that changes are immediately available to other apps on the device. My question is whether it is better to do one or the other or both. Will two apps open on the same device accessing the shared SQLite cause conflict issues? Do I even need to sync data with cloudKit if I'm already syncing with a shared group? Using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer alone means that each app will be syncing its own copy of the data locally, which doesn't seem very efficient and again I don't know if it's synched when I open the other app up. But I have seen conflicts when i have both apps open at the same time. Is there a foolproof way to prevent confl

Hi all, I'm trying to use NSPersistentCloudKitContainer.initializeCloudKitSchema() to initialise a public CloudKit database, but it seems to fail when any given entity has more than two String fields (or, it seems, any two fields which NSPersistentCloudKitContainer decides need to be CKAsset-backed). I've raised rdar://FB8995024 about this too, but was wondering if someone here can see something I'm missing. I can consistently reproduce this on iOS 14.4 (18D46) on the iOS Simulator with Xcode 12.4 (12D4e), or with an iPhone 11 Pro running iOS 14.4 (18D52) using this code (in a new iOS App project, SwiftUI/SwiftUI App/Swift, Use Core Data+Host in CloudKit) and a single Core Data entity with two String attributes: import CoreData import SwiftUI @main struct NSPersistentCloudKitContainer_initTestingApp: App { let persistenceController = PersistenceController.shared var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { Text(Success) } } } struct PersistenceController { static let shared = PersistenceController() let cont

My app uses NSPersistentCloudKitContainer to sync Core Data objects among users' devices, and has been doing so successfully for about a year now. My issue is I can't find any way to debug when I have a specific user that is experiencing sync issues. I have had the user try every trick that I know of to resolve it but have had no luck. I have tried everything in the CloudKit dashboard, but no logs appear whatsoever. Anyone have any tips here?

I have the following lines of code to access data through CoreData. import Foundation import CoreData import CloudKit class CoreDataManager { static let instance = CoreDataManager() let container: NSPersistentCloudKitContainer let context: NSManagedObjectContext init() { container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: ABC) container.loadPersistentStores(completionHandler: { (storeDescription, error) in if let error = error as NSError? { print(error.userInfo) } }) context = container.viewContext context.automaticallyMergesChangesFromParent = true context.mergePolicy = NSMergePolicy(merge: .mergeByPropertyObjectTrumpMergePolicyType) } func save() { do { try container.viewContext.save() print(Saved successfully) } catch { print(Error in saving data: (error.localizedDescription)) } } } I have confirmed that I can share data between iPhone and iPad. Now, I need to use AppGroup as well. I have changed my code as follows. import Foundation import CoreData import CloudKit class CoreDataManager { sta

Using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer, how do I add (or modify) the NSManageObjects that are part of a Share/Zone? I have initially created a CKShare using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer.share(_:to:completion:), how can I add objects to that share later on? Calling the method again (with to:existingShare filed), always seems to create a new Share. In fact, I don't understand what the to: parameter is for? It doesn't matter if I set it or not, a new CKShare is always created.

We have an iOS App developed in SwiftUI that saves data to CloudKit using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer. If I modify any of this data, the changes are synchronized on other iOS devices without problem. We also have an OSX App with StoryBoard using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer to share the same data with iOS devices. Changes made on OSX are updated immediately on iOS devices. But if any data is modified in iOS, it is not updated in the OSX application. Simply by doing Command-Tab twice the OSX app displays the new data. It appears that CloudKit Push Notifications are not causing the OSX application to detect that there are changes to the data and that it needs to be updated. In both cases an NSFetchedResultsController is created and a delegate is placed. The iOS one is called but the OSX one is not. The only difference in the code is that in the iOS app with SwiftUI it is done: var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { InitialTab() .environment(.managedObjectContext, DataManager.shared.viewContex

Hi, I'm using CoreData+CloudKit in a blank universal project for macOS 11 and iOS14. The records are in a private database inside a custom zone, I was able to set the correct database, but I'm yet to be able to set the zone. On the PersistentController created by default by Xcode 12 I have the following code let container: NSPersistentCloudKitContainer init(inMemory: Bool = false) { container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: finances_manager_pro) let customZone = CKRecordZone(zoneName: CloudCore) guard let description = container.persistentStoreDescriptions.first else { fatalError(Error) } description.cloudKitContainerOptions?.databaseScope = .private if inMemory { container.persistentStoreDescriptions.first!.url = URL(fileURLWithPath: /dev/null) } container.loadPersistentStores(completionHandler: { (storeDescription, error) in if let error = error as NSError? { fatalError(Unresolved error (error), (error.userInfo)) } }) } And inside a View @FetchRequest( sortDescriptors: [NSSortDescrip

Hi, I have NSPersistentCloudKitContainer and everything is great until I faced the issue after a while of using it. It takes so long to sync because its loading all the changes that was done on the object and doesn't just fetch the latest values of the object. My solution now is to manually fetch CKRecords to see if there is something or not. If so I'm displaying Loading while CoreData and CloudKit find their way to sync. Thanks

Hi everyone, I am very new to SwiftUi and am not sure about data collection to disclose. Does using the sign in with Apple feature and Core Data with CloudKit count as Data Collection? (if it does what would it come under) I use @AppStorage for the sign in and not the UserDeafult feature. For CloudKit I only use the inbuilt NSPersistentCloudKitContainer container and for saving the generic: viewContext.automaticallyMergesChangesFromParent = true viewContext.mergePolicy = NSMergeByPropertyObjectTrumpMergePolicy Thank you
