I have a situation where a CloudKit record is not being returned by a query (and also doesn't appear in the CloudKit dashboard), but it exists when fetching it by it's ID.The record was added days ago, so it really should have been indexed.The record ID metadata index has always been set for the record type.The query I use is fetching all records for a particular record type in a custom zone.Strangely, when I search for the record in the dashboard and select it, the record name field is blank on the detail panel.It's very peculiar, and very concerning!Anyone have any ideas?

In the development of an app, one of its UITextField is designed to allow users to use input view of datePicker view to pick a date and also allows the users to delete a displayed date via clear button as a overlay view in the textField while edting. Data is stored via Cloudkit and a CKRecordValue type - NSDate is used for that UITextField. My question is how to change the NSDate to reflect the user deleting an existing date on the textField? It seems NSDate can't be nil as I got atomic error when trying to save a nil date. Direct database like MySQL gives an option of null value and I wonder if we may set a NSDate type to allow nil input?

Dear Experts, I am confused by what seems to be a difference in behaviour of the Files app on an iPhone compared to an iPad. On the iPad, I seem to be able to view my app's Documents/ folder; on the iPhone, I can't. On the other hand I can access the app's iCloud documents on both devices. Is this the expected behaviour? If so, what is the rationale? Thanks, Phil.

I'm running into the same problem as many other folks I've seen on the developer.apple.com. However, none of them have solutions yet. I run a small ISP and we have our DNS on OpenSRS Managed DNS. 2 Questions: Do these DNS entries look correct? I've quadruple checked them and I still get the "Check your txt record" error. Plus, all e-mail destined for this domain now bounce. Are there examples of existing domains out there that are working that we can reference in a 'dig', nslookup or similar for comparison? cappelli@M2 ~ % host -t TXT dslwest.com dslwest.com descriptive text "v=spf1 include:icloud.com ~all" dslwest.com descriptive text "apple-domain=hudfp9wtd2pjzy5k" cappelli@M2 ~ % host -t MX dslwest.com dslwest.com mail is handled by 10 mx01.mail.icloud.com. dslwest.com mail is handled by 10 mx02.mail.icloud.com. cappelli@M2 ~ % host -t CNAME sig1._domainkey.dslwest.com sig1._domainkey.dslwest.com is an alias for sig1.dkim.dslwest.com.at.icloudmailadmin.com.

You've implemented -[<UIApplicationDelegate>application:didReceiveRemoteNotification:fetchCompletionHandler:], but you still need to add "remote-notification" to the list of your supported UIBackgroundModes in your Info.plist.How to resolve this error?

Somehow both of my new Macs with Ventura 13.2.1 point to comappleScriptEditor2 instead of comappleScriptEditor as my ScriptEditor iCloud Document location. I tried to change it, but the Info.plist file on both says comappleScriptEditor2. I cannot delete the Info.plist file either. Is there a way to fix this?

Hi all!  I'd like to have a Shortcut on my iPhone that does the following: First, it reads every line in a textfile stored in iCloud Drive, then prompt me which line of all these lines in that file i want to select/choose. After the line is chosen, it will write only that single chosen line to a new textfile (saved in a specific folder in iCloud Drive), where the title of that textfiles is the current UNIXTIME. So the filename will be something like "1676206299.txt" . Can anybody help me code this? I'm completely new to the shortcuts thing, but see great potential in the possibilities!  Thanks so much for your time!

Hello everyone ! I am trying to build a macOS app that would sync my sms messages on my android phone to my mac. So I would like to know if a macOS app can load a message history in the native macOS message app (like icloud does) and read all sent messages by the user on the message app. Do you know if it's possible ? My objective is to make my app act like icloud syncing all messages together.

On Mac App Store, my app became number one board game within 24 hours of release. Under games category, it is number 16. I am not understanding how come I am seeing all this ? On Analytics page - there are hardly 2 units sold. Why is this joke being played ? I literally got happy when it was shown as number 1 board game and I can see it is all false. But how can Apple servers display such false information ? The name of my game is Sudoku - Classic to XV.

I just enrolled in and installed the latest iPadOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS, on my devices to use the Advanced Data Protection for iCloud, however when I try to sign in to iCloud for Windows I get a message to update to the latest version of iCloud for Windows. The problem is that when I go to the Microsoft Store to update Icloud I'm told I have the latest version, how do I get the latest version if the official method says I have the latest version? I'm using WIndows 10 with all the updates.

Hello, I want to build an application like a Vault in which I have a requirement in which the end user will log in to the web application and select their storage as iCloud. Once the same is linked by entering the credentials, user should able to upload the documents and the same will be stored in iCloud and not on the vault for security reasons. Does Apple provide public APIs for web applications? Is this possible now to upload files from a website and store the same in iCloud using iCloud API? Please help here. Thanks in advance.

The iCloud has the iCloud Drive (a could storage where the user can store any files and which Apps can access and share) and files in an "UbiquityContainer", which will be synced and only accessible to the App itself, not visible/accessible to other Apps. The information about the new Advanced Data Protection (ADP) only mentions iCloud Drive to be covered by ADP. Are the synced files within the UbiquityContainer also protected by ADP? If not, how can these be included?

Is this possible and how? I've only seen examples about using NSMetadataQuery to search directories for files matching some predicate. I tried using this code let query = NSMetadataQuery() query.valueListAttributes = [NSMetadataUbiquitousItemPercentDownloadedKey] query.predicate = NSPredicate(value: true) let item = NSMetadataItem(url: url)! query.searchItems = [item] NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(forName: .NSMetadataQueryDidUpdate, object: query, queue: nil) { notification in     print(notification) } NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(forName: .NSMetadataQueryDidFinishGathering, object: query, queue: nil) { notification in     print(notification) } query.start() but this gives the following exception *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'Unknown kind of NSPredicate given to NSMetadataQuery (TRUEPREDICATE)' Without any predicate the query doesn't seem to start at all, like mentioned in the official documentation.

Hi,I have 2 iOS apps with which I tested iCloud Drive.With the frst one I didn't had any trouble.I'm able to use the iCloud Drive and files that I store in the ubiquituos container are transferred to the cloudand I can see the Apps folder and contents in Finder on my iMac.Now the strange thing is that with the 2nd app I get problems although I have setup everything exactly the same.The only difference that I can see is that during the initial run of App2 with iCloud entitlements enabled I had forgottento add the <key>NSUbiquitousContainers</key> <dict> <key>iCloud.com.xxx.app2</key> <dict> <key>NSUbiquitousContainerIsDocumentScopePublic</key> <true/> <key>NSUbiquitousContainerName</key> <string>App2</string> <key>NSUbiquitousContainerSupportedFolderLevels</key> <string>Any</string> </dict> </dict>in the info-plist file.I get the feeling that this screwed app the iCloud for this app and even if I now set this up correctly it refuses to work.Any one experiencing a similar issue?Or is there any way to reset the iCloud for an app completely and start over again?One more thing: when using brctl I can see that items are sent/retrieved from the iCloud and they are stored in theiCloud Drive folder on my Mac. But they are not visible in Finder.

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?

For demo iCloud, build many containers in CloudKit Dashboard. Now i want to delete some old containers but i can't. I need help thanks.

Filled my iCLoud when using my last phone and had turned it off anyway because it reminded me I was out of space 38 times a day. Of course when turning it off it threatens vaguely to delete all of your photos in wording that doesn't quite make sense. So before turning iCloud off on the last phone I hooked it up to my PC and downloaded all the pics, or so I thought. Then I turned off iCloud. Well, it brought maybe 15 percent of my pics over onto the PC. Ughhh. So, I was trying to see if my cloud photos were still there despite the iOS threats to delete them all forever to punish me for turning off iCloud and not simply buying more space. (Why oh why don't they just have an SD slot?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!) I turned on iCloud for my new phone, which only has about 400 pics on it, and immediately I get the iCloud full warning, with 5 GB of photos, so my old pics are still there. Although I could not access them somehow via my new phone even though I followed the clear as mud instructions on the website. (I went to turn iCloud off again and then it said it was going to delete all of my 400 pictures on the new phone) like really? Well that was one of the only choices they funneled me to. in any case, that brings me to the matter at hand, which is I went to iCloud.com to try and look at and get some of my pics. I had to change my password because I forgot it.....apparently....even though when I chose my new password, it said it cant be the same as my last password....Really?!?! Well then I hadn't forgot, unless I made a typo 4 times a moment earlier. Sooooooooo now when I log into iCloud.com it says "Welcome Back!" for about 2 seconds before going back to the login screen, whereupon I am NOT, in fact logged in. Closed the browser, opened it again, same thing. I am just not impressed with the functionality of Apple's stuff at all. Yes, 2 factor is on, I had to go through that to change password etc. So what is wrong with the iCloud website or my access to said entity? Thanks,

When developing a CloudKit application, the standard recommendation is to create an iCloud account for testing. That makes a lot of sense as I’d like to keep developing code far from my personal iCloud account. But the CloudKit Dashboard won’t let me view the private database for that account. What do other people do to check their work?* clarification: I mean on the development server, not the production server.

Starting about a month ago some of my app users began getting the http 500 error when the app attempts to do anything (read or write) to their iCloud Drive. For AppleIDs that are affected, all apps that use iCloud Drive return the same error. "Request failed with http status code 500" Apple had the same problem last year around the same time (Dec 2021). It was never acknowledged This is a similar issue that happened about a year ago: https://www.macrumors.com/2022/01/26/apple-fixed-icloud-syncing-bug/ Can someone please looking this. I have also filed a bug report with Apple: FB11852660 Since Apple never acknowledges these outages, users blame our app
