  • Maybe Apple wants the deletion of containers to be as revolutionary as the calculator on the iPad...

  • I would settle for renaming a container. New projects always come along.

Is deleting iCloud containers from iCloud dashboard still not supported? I have a bunch of dead test iCloud containers I want to get out of there.

It seems like containers still can't be deleted. This is crazy. When you build a demo app and it contains a container, it will be there FOREVER!

What could possibly be the problem with deleting unused containers? At least group them in some way to allowing hiding them.

Same problem here. It is always worrisome when a tool that is expected to be used by developers, is not being updated by the platform provider. Given the very few minor changes since its launch years ago, is the Dasboard (and Cloudkit as a whole) in danger of dropping all iCloud Apps for some third party cloud host, and waste current developers significant efforts to build Apps for the Apple market? A few, helpful updates to Dashboard would certainly by a reassuring sign from Apple.

Apple, can you get your head out of your collective ***** and fix this crap? Come on, this has been going on for over three (count em ONE - TWO - THREE) years that I know of and have heard of it being a problem for more than FOUR! This is ******** Apple. You cannot possibly come up with a lame excuse for this, because there isn't any viable excuse.


FIX IT!

Yep, still a problem Nov 2018. After the initial fiasco of Core Data sync to iCloud and the lack of care with the current CloudKit (as shown by this lack of response to this issue) I am very leary of using CloudKit with so many other services available. Your choice Apple. Up till now all of our sharing is done using Dropbox. Its not perfect, but definitely better than a half-supported, poorly implemented iCloud.
