Is this the end of iCloud Core Data?
June 17, 2016
Michael Tsai wrote a summary on the apparent deprecation of iCloud Core Data:
Fast forward to WWDC 2016. When installing the Xcode 8 beta, I noticed that all of the symbols related to iCloud Core Data were marked as deprecated in macOS 10.12 and iOS 10, with the comment “Please see the release notes and Core Data documentation.” Strangely, the Core Data release notes and What’s New in macOS 10.12 documents make no mention of this. What’s New in iOS 10 simply says that “Several NSPersistentStoreCoordinator symbols related to ubiquitous content” have been deprecated.
Writing your own CloudKit based syncing solution is hard, but worth it in my opinion.
