To extend to CloudKit through Core Data, you can follow a process similar to what's described in the sessions from WWDC. Here's a general approach based on the context provided:
-
Enable iCloud and CloudKit: Start by adding iCloud to the signing and capabilities of your Xcode project. Turn on CloudKit under iCloud services and create a new container for syncing your data.
-
Configure Background Modes: Add background modes and enable the remote notifications capability. This allows your app to process remote changes in the background, ensuring data consistency across devices.
-
Update Configuration: Update your data configuration to include the CloudKit container option. Pass in your new container's ID to ensure that your data stays in sync across devices.
-
Handle Syncing and Conflicts: Implement a mechanism to handle syncing and resolve any merge conflicts between local data and cloud data. This can be done by using completion handlers during data sync operations.
For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the session Customize feature discovery with TipKit (10:48) which discusses syncing tips with CloudKit, or the session Port advanced games to Apple platforms (18:53) which covers cloud saves and syncing game data using CloudKit.
These sessions provide insights into using CloudKit for syncing data across devices, which can be adapted for use with Core Data.
What’s new in SwiftData
SwiftData makes it easy to add persistence to your app with its expressive, declarative API. Learn about refinements to SwiftData, including compound uniqueness constraints, faster queries with #Index, queries in Xcode previews, and rich predicate expressions. Join us to explore how you can use all of these features to express richer models and improve performance in your app. To discover how to build a custom data store or use the history API in SwiftData, watch “Create a custom data store with SwiftData” and “Track model changes with SwiftData history”.
Create a custom data store with SwiftData
Combine the power of SwiftData’s expressive, declarative modeling API with your own persistence backend. Learn how to build a custom data store and explore how to progressively add persistence features in your app. To get the most out of this session, watch “Meet SwiftData” and “Model your schema with SwiftData” from WWDC23.
