cloudkit

I have submitted an iOS app that uses CloudKit to Apple. It's being rejected because it requires user to sign into iCloud for access. Apple's reasoning is that even without iCloud sign-in, the public database is still readable. So that part of the app should function. I am trying to modify the app but I continue to get this error when I am not signed in. <CKError 0x8141a360: "Internal Error" (1/4000); "Couldn't send a valid signature"> I have searched the web and the solution is always just to sign into iCloud. There is no Apple documentation regarding this error either. Does anyone know how

I have a "table" that can potentially have many records, when adding a new record I need to know how many records there already are in current table as I use it in calculation of some values. The closest thing I could find is requesting all entries like this: var query : CKQuery = CKQuery(recordType: "Stars", predicate: NSPredicate(format: "mass > 0")) var request : CKQueryOperation = CKQueryOperation(query: query) var starCount = 0 request.queryCompletionBlock = { (cursor:CKQueryCursor!, error:NSError!) in if error { completionHandler(ECOResponse.error(error.description), starCount) } else {

Apple published a new method to authenticate against CloudKit, server-to-server. https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/DataManagement/Conceptual/CloudKitWebServicesReference/SettingUpWebServices.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40015240-CH24-SW6 I tried to authenticate against CloudKit and this method. At first I generated the key pair and gave the public key to CloudKit, no problem so far. I started to build the request header. According to the documentation it should look like this: X-Apple-CloudKit-Request-KeyID: [keyID] X-Apple-CloudKit-Request-ISO8601Date: [date] X-Apple

CKFetchNotificationChangesOperation returns INSERT operations, but UPDATE and DELETE, not always. DELETE, UPDATE worked last when I submitted app to App Store, but now not anymore. Why? I have created subscriptions like: let s = CKSubscription(recordType: recordType, predicate: NSPredicate(value: true), options: .FiresOnRecordCreation | .FiresOnRecordUpdate | .FiresOnRecordDeletion) s.notificationInfo = CKNotificationInfo() subscriptionsToSave.append(s) Dashboard shows all tree triggers: I do not use any alertBody , so notification is a so called silent notification, can it be the cause? In

EDIT : Retested today 27.08.2015 and it works again, Apple has fixed it. I have an application in development mode. The application uses CKSubscription to get notified on changes on the server, configured for all three options: create, update, delete. Everything was working fine but recently during regression tests I have discovered the application does not receive notifications on record updates, the create and delete notifications are still working. The susbcription types are set correctly for all three options as I checked on the dashboard and the application is registered for
