CloudKit Dashboard insufficient priveleges
ios,itunesconnect,icloud,cloudkit
I got the 'Insufficient Privileges" error after I created an AppID & a Container, but I didn't have the Container selected in XCode. Its very misleading. I specified the container and it fixed the issue. Make sure you - 1. Have CloudKit Checked 2. Have the Container you just created...
iCloud error to open the document in iOS
If errno is 20, that means ENOTDIR, "not a directory". It's impossible to give a better answer unless you describe what you were doing at the time. The usual error reporting mechanism on iOS is NSError, which is returned from many, many methods and typically provides details of what specifically...

CloudKit: Is it possible to have a custom zone in a public database?
Answering the question from your question title: The documentation of CKRecordZone says: A CKRecordZone object defines an area for organizing related records in a database. Zones are an important part of how you organize your data. The public and private databases have a single default zone, and in the private...
iCloud data duplication
You would usually deduplicate the data when you receive the NSPersistentStoreDidImportUbiquitousContentChangesNotification notification, and you have merged the changes into your context. After merging, go through the data and dedupe. Here is a good tutorial on deduping: http://www.atomicbird.com/blog/icloud-complications-part-2 Deduplication is one of the poorer design aspects of Core Data + iCloud...
How iCloud sends a notification to my app when listening NSPersistentStoreDidImportUbiquitousContentChangesNotification
ios,objective-c,core-data,synchronization,icloud
Apple doesn't document the full process, but the goal is that you can treat NSPersistentStoreDidImportUbiquitousContentChangesNotification in almost the same way as NSManagedObjectContextDidSaveNotification. That is, you can merge changes from iCloud as if you were merging changes made on a different managed object context in your app. The iCloud notification involves...
About testing the iCloud synchronisation
Yes, it should use the iCloud account your test device is logged into. I tend to use a second iCloud account for testing just to make sure I don't mess up personal data I want to keep within my own apps.
iOS Swift: Crash on deleteRowsAtIndexPaths
ios,swift,uikit,icloud,cloudkit
Before removing cells (or adding) you need to call beginUpdates() on the involved tableView. Then remove, or add cells. When finished, call endUpdates(). Once you call endUpdates(). Remember that once you call endUpdates() your tableView model must be consistent with the number of sections and rows you removed or added....
Send invitation when creating an event on icloud calendar via webdav
Yes, this is possible. The iCloud calendar supports scheduling as described in RFC 6638. Note that if an attendee has an iCloud account (the email is registered as an Apple-ID used with iCloud) the server won't send out emails. It will put the meeting request directly into the attendee's iCloud...

How to approve uploads to CloudKit

There are two main ways in which you can accomplish this: Have a separate record type for non-approved content which you allow any authenticated user to create records in (you can control this with the roles security settings on the record type). Then, once you approve the content, copy the...
How can i see if my app got iCloud data?
ios,objective-c,core-data,icloud
The general idea is that when you create a Core Data persistent store, you pass in a couple of parameters (NSPersistentStoreUbiquitousContentNameKey and optionally NSPersistentStoreUbiquitousContentURLKey) to identify a metadata file which is stored in iCloud. Then you would add an observer to NSPersistentStoreDidImportUbiquitousContentChangesNotification for your app to be able to react...

Estimating and measuring CloudKit database usage
Unfortunately there isn't any way to view usage statistics in the CloudKit dashboard. Note though that the data limits mentioned are just for the public database.

NSMetadataQuery returns files which apparently don't exist

How can I delete a file from iCloud without downloading it to the device first?
ios,cocoa-touch,icloud,nsfilemanager
If you just need to delete a file, use the other NSFileCoordinator coordinateWritingItemAtURL ( the one with a single newURL parameter in the accessor block ). If you need to batch delete, then create an array of NSFileAccessIntent and use NSFileCoordinator's coordinateAccessWithIntents. Example: - ( void )deleteItemsAtURLs: ( NSArray *...

Do you have iCloud Drive enabled on the simulator? From my own testing URLForUbiquityContainerIdentifier always returns nil if iCloud Drive is disabled with the iOS 8.1 Simulator.

Co-mingling “default” data with user-supplied data in Core Data

Is it possible to obtain an unique iCloud user ID on cocoa?
Yes, this is possible using CloudKit. You'll need a CKContainer, and you'll ask it to fetch the user record ID. That record ID is unique for your apps, but is also stable for that user this means the same iCloud account will have the same record ID, regardless of which...

How do I check if user can login to CloudKit?
ios,icloud,ios8,icloud-api,cloudkit
The CKContainer class has a method called accountStatusWithCompletionHandler: that's designed for this purpose. Call it and check for CKAccountStatusAvailable. You'll still need to listen for NSUbiquityIdentityDidChangeNotification in case the status changes.

No. You have no access to any account details.

When syncing Core Data, is a call to URLForUbiquityContainerIdentifier: needed?
The documentation you cite is out of date for iOS 7, which included numerous internal changes to Core Data's iCloud system. Among them is that when you call addPersistentStoreWithType:configuration:URL:options:error: with iCloud keys in the options dictionary, it internally calls URLForUbiquityContainerIdentifier: for you. As a result, calling this method yourself isn't...

Manipulate groups in iCloud with CardDAV protocol
OK. Let's start at the beginning. What is a CardDAV collection. A CardDAV collection is like a folder containing vCard files. Some (Many?) servers allow multiple of such folders, some don't. iCloud (currently) is in the latter category - there is only one 'folder' on the server to store all...

iCloud with Coredata synchronization
performBlock (and performBlockAndWait) can only be used for NSManagedObjectContexts that were initialised with either NSPrivateQueueConcurrencyType or NSMainQueueConcurrencyType. By default NSManagedObjectContexts are initialised to use the NSConfinementConcurrencyType which does not support performBlock or performBlockAndWait.

Confused on snippet of code for implementing iCloud behavior on iOS
if let query = keyValueStore.stringForKey(key) means that if keyValueStore contains a string corresponding to key, then this string will be assigned to the constant query.

hidden files with .icloud extension in ubiquity container
I think hidden files are handled by metadataQuery to indicate that the new file was added to iCloud and is waiting to be sync'ed. NSMetadataQuery recognizes them as representation of new files not yet downloaded to ubiquity container.

Error turning off iCloud for Core Data on iOS7
It's happening because you removed the iCloud entitlement. Without that, you're not permitted to access the iCloud store, so the whole scheme falls apart.
