CloudKit public database access changes?

With the new CloudKit advancements from WWDC21 does the user still need to be signed into an iCloud account to write to the public database?

Yes, anonymous writes are not supported.

  • Would it be “bad” to have all users use a single Apple ID as a service to add CloudKit records for unauthenticated users? It would be nice if there existed a way to use other auth providers, such as private/public key pair, passwordless auth, like the shiny demo from WWDC 21. This is a must for apps leveraging all of the amazing things that CloudKit has to offer. Filing a suggestion now.
