Store your app’s data in iCloud and keep everything up to date across devices and on the web. Featuring efficient syncing, as well as simple monitoring and management, it’s never been easier to build and grow your apps with CloudKit. Store private data securely in your users’ iCloud accounts for limitless scale as your user base grows, and get up to 1PB of storage for your app’s public data.
CloudKit is designed for manageability, flexibility, and power. By organizing apps in containers, CloudKit ensures each app is siloed so its data won’t get entangled with other apps. Specialized databases and zones also let you easily separate app information by access type or function. And together with efficient syncing and sharing capabilities, CloudKit provides a comprehensive feature set that lets you easily develop powerful cloud apps.
The CloudKit Console is an intuitive web-based control panel that you can use throughout the development lifecycle of your app. View your app’s server activity, manage your containers, maintain your database schema, and view and edit test data during every phase — from development to production.
Creating an application that stores structured app and user data in iCloud is simple. Learn how to enable CloudKit in your project so you can create and deploy schemas for your app, fetch records, subscribe to changes to improve performance, and test your app on multiple devices before deployment.
