I spoke to an Apple Engineer about this and they suggested the best way was to make your container return either an NSPersistentContainer or NSPersistentCloudKitContainer depending on whether you users have selected iCloud syncing internally in your app - you can use a UserDefaults bool to store this.This works because NSPersistentCloudKitContainer is a subclass of NSPersistentContainer.You will also need to set the NSPersistentHistoryTrackingKey to true on the vanillla container so changes are recorded should they switch iCloud back on. There doesn't appear to be any need to set any options manually on NSPersistentCloudKitContainer as they're enabled by default.I have a PersistenceService class which manages my MOC and in it, this is how I set up the container: static var iCloudSyncData = UserDefaults.standard.bool(forKey: iCloudSyncData) static var persistentContainer: NSPersistentContainer = { let container: NSPersistentContainer? if iCloudSyncData { container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer
