NSPersistentCloudKitContainer

I’ve setup the Cloudkit persistent container with private and shared database (see code below). I’ve enabled NSPersistentHistoryTrackingKey to true also for .shared database. I’ve noticed in the example from Apple that the History Tracking is only enabled in .private but not for .shared. Questions: For a CloudKit setup to sync (a) between owners’ own devices (only private database), and (b) between multiple iCloud Users through .private and .shared databases, Do I need to enable history tracking for .shared database if I want to check the remote changes in the .shared database (or is the history tracking of the .private database of the owner also accessible in the .shared database)? ======================== let APP_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER = Bundle.main.bundleIdentifier! let APP_GROUP_IDENTIFIER = group. + APP_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER private func setupPersistentContainer(_ container: NSPersistentCloudKitContainer? = nil, isStartup: Bool = true) -> NSPersistentCloudKitContainer { let container = contai

I'm currently syncing core data with the CloudKit private and public databases, as you can see in the code below, I'm saving the private database in the default configuration in Core Data and the public in a configuration called Public everything works fine when NSPersistentCloudKitContainer syncs, what I'm having an issue with is trying to save to the public data store PublicStore, for instance when I try to save with func createIconImage(imageName: String) it saves the image to the default store, not the PublicStore(Public configuration). What could I do to make the createIconImage() function save to the PublicStore sqlite database? class CoreDataManager: ObservableObject{ static let instance = CoreDataManager() private let queue = DispatchQueue(label: CoreDataManagerQueue) @AppStorage(UserDefaults.Keys.iCloudSyncKey) private var iCloudSync = false lazy var context: NSManagedObjectContext = { return container.viewContext }() lazy var container: NSPersistentContainer = { return setupContainer() }()

Hello, I have an iOS app and a companion watchOS app. Users record a workout on Apple Watch, the data for which is then transferred using both Watch Connectivity and Core Data + CloudKit (NSPersistentCloudKitContainer) to their iPhone, where it is processed and displayed. As users are recording the workout on their Apple Watch, when they finish and the transfer begins, their iPhone is often not reachable to immediately send the data using Watch Connectivity and they have no network connection (cellular or Wi-Fi). With Watch Connectivity I use transferFile from WCSession, which queues the file for transfer. With Core Data + Cloudkit I save the data and the export is queued. An undetermined amount of time may pass until the user returns to their iPhone or connects to Wi-Fi and most of the time neither of the transfer methods actually transfers the data until the user opens the watchOS app into the foreground, at which point the transfer happens immediately for both methods. I've tried a number of thing

I'm currently syncing Core Data with the CloudKit public database using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer. The app starts with an empty Core Data store locally and at the app launch it downloads the data from CloudKit public database to the Core Data store, but this can only be accomplished if the user is logged in, if the user is not logged, no data gets downloaded and I get the error below. Can the NSPersistentCloudKitContainer mirror the data from the CloudKit public database to the local Core Data even if the user is not logged in? Can someone please confirm this is possible? The reason for my question is because I was under the impression that the users didn't need to be logged to read data from the public database in CloudKit but I'm not sure this applies to NSPersistentCloudKitContainer when mirroring data. I know I can fetch data directly with CloudKit APIs without the user beign logged but I need to understand if NSPersistentCloudKitContainer should in theory work with

Can someone please give me an overview of how sync works between Core Data and the public CloudKit database when using the NSPersistentCloudKitContainer and please point out my misunderstandings based on what I describe below? In the following code, I'm successfully connecting to the public database in CloudKit using the NSPersistentCloudKitContainer. Below is how I have Core Data and CloudKit set up for your reference. In CloudKit I have a set of PublicIconImage that I created manually via the CloudKit Console. I intend to be able to download all images from the public database at the app launch to the local device and manage them via Core Data to minimize server requests, which works but only if the user is logged in. This is the behavior I see: When the app launches, all the CloudKit images get mirrored to Core Data and displayed on the screen but only if the user is logged in with the Apple ID, otherwise nothing gets mirrored. What I was expecting: I was under the impression that when co
