“NSPersistentCloudKitContainer”

I've built an app and got it working nicely with CoreData, and now I want to integrate it with CloudKit. I have made some minor changes to my code (namely updating NSPersistentContainer to NSPersistentCloudKitContainer and CloudKit works - I can see records appearing in the iCloud dashboard and I can modify records from the iCloud dashboard and the changes reflect on my device. Great. However, if I disable iCloud syncing via Settings on my device (without force-quitting my app) I notice a couple of things: When switching back to my app if I try and edit an entity I sometimes get an app crash If I quit and reload the app all my data has disappeared from my device (it still remains in iCloud). Is this expected behaviour? Ideally, what I would like, is that the data persists locally if a user has added records but then later decides to disable iCloud syncing on the app. Here's my code in case I've done anything funky with the implantation. It feels pretty simple, but maybe that's the problem. CoreDataMa

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

CloudKit was working perfectly in iOS 16. However after updating to iOS 17 RC on my devices iCloud sync no longer works properly. The app has a package called CloudKitSyncMonitor which shows the sync status. Normally it would say Synced with iCloud but on iOS 17 it is either stuck in the Syncing or Sync not started state and the data doesn’t update. This mostly happens after a reinstall of the app. After some time it randomly decides to work until I uninstall the app. I’m really confused what could be the problem if it was working fine on iOS 16 but barely works properly on iOS 17? This is currently the code I have for the DataController: import SwiftUI import CoreData class DataController { var container: NSPersistentCloudKitContainer @AppStorage(wrappedValue:true,syncEnabled,store:UserDefaults(suiteName: group.com.ip18.SubManager)) var syncEnabled static let shared = DataController() init() { container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: Subscriptions) load(syncEnabled: syncEnabled) } fu

I am following this document from Apple to implement sharing with CloudKit. In it, Apple says NSPersistentCloudKitContainer uses CloudKit zone sharing to share objects. Each share has its own record zone on the CloudKit server. CloudKit has a limit on how many record zones a database can have. What is the record zone limit for a private CloudKit database? I can find information about record and participant limits but not on record zone limits.

Hi, Some of my users are experiencing synchronization issues when using the NSPersistentCloudKitContainer in CoreData. My app is listening to any errors that occur during the synchronization with the NSPersistentCloudKitContainer.eventChangedNotification Notification. Before I just got Cocoa-Errors 2 or 3 which indicate a bad network connection or something similar. Now I received reports with a Cocoa-Error 134419. Does anyone know what this error code means? Maybe someone from the Core Data team could have a look at this. Thanks a lot, Alexander

Hello everyone, in the App I'm building I'd like to share an entire list of items (records) by just sharing the list itself (parent record or RecordZone). Meanwhile, I'd like to continue using the NSPersistentCloudKitContainer and therefore CoreData sync. Is it possible, with the new features Apple introduced (Sharing RecordZone and Sharing in Cloud & Local Storage), to do what I described, and combine both functions. Thank you, Carlos Steiner

I have 2 apps in the App Store, and each uses the private database in its own CloudKit container. (ie, App1 uses “iCloud.com.company.App1” and App2 uses “iCloud.com.company.App2”) I want to add a feature to App2 which will require App2 to read/write to the App1 database. To be clear, we’re talking about 2 apps, 2 private databases, but all access occurs under the same user’s AppleID. In App2, I’ve tried to create 2 NSPersistentCloudKitContainers - one for each App’s database as follows: @main struct App2: App { @StateObject var app1DB = PersistenceApp1.shared @StateObject var app2DB = PersistenceApp2.shared @SceneBuilder var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { NavigationView { ContentView() .environmentObject(app1DB) .environmentObject(app2DB) } } } } …where each Persistence object is defined like this… class PersistenceApp1: ObservableObject { static let shared = PersistenceApp1() let container: NSPersistentCloudKitContainer init(inMemory: Bool = false) { container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer

I’m using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer and I’m utilising the public database and also the user’s private database. For example I have an entity called Category which has a many-to-many relationship to an entity called NewsArticle. So the NewsArticles exist in the public database for the user to browse, but he can add them to a category which will live in his private database. So that’s my question, is it possible for an entity which exists a in the private database to have a relationship to another entity in a public database?

Hi, I want to activate/deactivate the CloudKit Sync during App runtime in a user settings view. Basically this works fine. Every time I toggle between the NSPersistentContainer and the NSPersistentCloudKitContainer, I increase the persistence.persistenceContainerReloaded attribute and the whole view hierarchy will be reloaded. Thus all changes are passed through the whole app. During the reload phase I have to load a new persistence store by container.loadPersistentStores(...). Unfortunately, I cannot remove the old persistence store before loading the new one. The app crashes immediately, because the store and viewContext is still in use. Therefore, I just create a new one and trigger the reload. Afterwards every view is using the new viewContext. But somewhere in the background there is still the old persistence store with CloudKit Sync active and pushes every local change to the cloud. Changes on the cloud from other devices are not received anymore. Does someone has any idea, how to correctly unl

Hello. I'm trying to setup CoreData+CloudKit integration. But I receive following errors right after NSPersistentCloudKitContainer configuration.

Hi, I wrote an app that helps me count how many grams of protein I eat each day. I'm the only user now, and the app uses Core Data and the CloudKit container, to sync data across my devices. I was thinking about releasing it in App Store, and I noticed this in the app review guidelines: may not store personal health information in iCloud. Does that mean we cannot use Core Data with NSPersistentCloudKitContainer for an app like this? Thanks.

I have an App in which I am using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer to store user's drawings, and to have them in sync across multiple devices. To store the drawings, I am using a Binary Data attribute in my Core Data entity. In this attribute I am saving the data representation of the drawing by using this API https://developer.apple.com/documentation/pencilkit/pkdrawing/3281878-datarepresentation I have observed that for some drawings this data representation consumes a huge amount of data, and that generates synchronisation problems among devices. Is there a better approach to persist PKDrawings without this problem?

Hello I have an app that uses Core Data with CloudKit to store data. When I am in the app (using the app) and create some new data on an other device, the data is fetched in a few seconds and I see it immediately, however if I am not using the app and create some new data on an other device, I have to enter the app and then the data starts fetching, is there a way to fetch data even if I am not using the app. Here is my core data stack: import CoreData import Combine class PersistenceController { static let shared = PersistenceController() let container: NSPersistentCloudKitContainer init() { container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: CoreData) guard let fileContainer = FileManager.default.containerURL(forSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier: APP_GROUP_NAME)?.appendingPathComponent(CoreData.sqlite) else { fatalError(Shared file container could not be created.) } let storeDescription = NSPersistentStoreDescription(url: fileContainer) storeDescription.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: NSP

I have an app that uses NSPersistentCloudKitContainer stored in a shared location via App Groups so my widget can fetch data to display. It works. But if you reset your iPhone and restore it from a backup, an error occurs: The file Name.sqlite couldn't be opened. I suspect this happens because the widget is created before the app's data is restored. Restarting the iPhone is the only way to fix it though, opening the app and reloading timelines does not. Anything I can do to fix that to not require turning it off and on again?
