icloud

I am working on my first "iCloud App". I worked through the Apple docs and the Stanford videos but I am still struggling to understand the "Big picture" of iCloud. My goal is to create a " Library style " app (which is Apples term for an app with "a single Core Data stack with a single persistent store coordinator and a single persistent store") like the Employees example . Following the Stanford videos I am using a UIMangedDocument to setup all Core Data stuff and enable the iCloud capabilities. The UIMangedDocument contains the Database and is "stored in the cloud". This is already the first

I am trying to work out how to sync a .plist file I have in the "Application Support" folder in my Sandboxed app for the Mac. I know I could use the iCloud key value store, but there is a limit of 64KB per app, which may or may not be hit depending on how many thing the user adds to the app! I have read as much of the Apple documentation as possible, but I am still rather confused :( Has anyone does something similar to this? Thanks You should create a subclass of UIDocument and use it with ubiquity directories. There are 2 methods responsible for handling read/write. This one is called when

Based on the question here: Migrate iCloud data to Local store and stopping iCloud from still responding regard moving an iCloud store over to a local store and making sure the iCloud notifications are disabled, I have the next scenario that I am stuck on. Issue Right now, when the user runs the app on the first device, they're asked at the start if they want to enable iCloud. If they select yes, the data is migrated over to iCloud. If the user connects in a second device, they're asked if they want to use iCloud at the start and if they select yes, data from the first device is synchronised

When a file is changed in iCloud (whether added, deleted, or the content changed), I would like to call a method I created ( [self methodName] ) so that I can update my table view with the names of the new files. How am I notified of the file change? Do I need to listen for a NSNotification (if so, what is it?) or do I have to check manually? Thanks. The name of the NSNotification I have to listen for is NSMetadataQueryDidUpdateNotification . This is how I did it: [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(queryDidUpdate:) name

I'm using iCloud in my app to load text files. When loading text files, this method is called by iCloud when I call _UIDocument openWithCompletionHandler:^(BOOL success) etc: -(BOOL)loadFromContents:(id)contents ofType:(NSString *)typeName error:(NSError **)outError { NSLog(@"Library loadFromContents: state = %d", self.documentState); if (!_books) { _books = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; } //if (self.documentState > 7) { // NSLog(@"document is either savingError (4), EditingDisabled (8) or both (12)... will not load"); // return NO; //} self.books = [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData

i am writing a small universal game for iOS. the highscore will be synched accross devices through an iCloud Key/Value store. getting the newest score: func retrieveHighestScore() -> Int64 { let iCloudScore: Int64 = NSUbiquitousKeyValueStore.defaultStore().longLongForKey(KeyValueKeyClassification.KeyHighscore.toRaw()) let localScore: Int64 = Int64(NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().integerForKey(KeyValueKeyClassification.KeyHighscore.toRaw())) var result: Int64 = 0 if localScore > iCloudScore { storeNewHighscore(localScore) result = localScore } else { storeNewHighscore(iCloudScore) result

Is there a way to see what my app is backing up to iCloud, and how much memory it consumes? Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage will show you the aggregate total of what is being backed up. iOS backs up any files located in your application’s sandbox, except those located in <Application_Home>/Library/Caches . Technical Q&A QA1719 has more on how to not back up data in iOS 5.0.1 and later. If you just want to see, you can go into Settings->iCloud->Storage & Backup->Manage Storage. On your Mac, you can browse to " ~/Library/Mobile Documents " and see what is being stored in
