The latest updates to CloudKit were presented in the session titled Use CloudKit Console to monitor and optimize database activity. Here are the key updates:
-
Developer Notifications: The CloudKit console now includes developer notifications to keep you informed about changes in your CloudKit containers. These notifications can be tailored to your team's usage and can be configured to be sent by email as well. They cover a range of events such as database alerts, schema changes, promotions, resets, and authorization token status.
-
Telemetry Tools: Enhanced telemetry tools in the CloudKit console allow you to understand your app's usage of CloudKit. You can visualize how your app interacts with CloudKit, check usage statistics, and see trends in active users, devices, and storage.
-
Logging: The CloudKit console now provides detailed logs that help you explore how your app interacts with CloudKit containers. These logs are privacy-preserving and can be customized to show relevant information for debugging and exploring CloudKit events.
-
Custom Alerts: You can create custom alerts based on your app's telemetry data. These alerts notify you when specific criteria are met in your CloudKit containers, making it easier to recognize and resolve issues.
-
Schema History Page: A new schema history page in the console details your team's changes to your container schema over time, providing necessary context for schema change notifications.
