I, like many developers, got an email from Apple recently that stated we should move our data from the documents directory into another folder to permit more streamlined backup to iCloud. In recent testing it appears that [your app] stores a fair amount of data in its Documents folder. Since iCloud backups are performed daily over Wi-Fi for each user's iOS device, it's important to ensure the best possible user experience by minimizing the amount of data being stored by your app. Marco Arment , of instapaper fame, has a good take on the issue, which is that the recommended location for storing

I am using NSFileManager 's startDownloadingUbiquitousItemAtURL to download file from iCloud to local copy (the local does not yet have the copy of the file in this case). I can't seem to find the callback for this process. I need the callback to tell my app that the requested file is finished downloaded (to local copy) so other task can start reading the content of the file and does stuff. I can check to see if the file is downloaded. But it would involve in polling constantly. Is there a way to do this without setting a timer to poll for this? I believe that this method is intended to be

I have basic iCloud support in my application (syncing changes, making ubiquitous, etc.), but one crucial omission so far has been the lack of "download" support for files that exist (or have changes) in the cloud, but are not in sync with what's currently on disk. I added the following methods to my application, based on some Apple-provided code, with a couple tweaks: The download methods: - (BOOL)downloadFileIfNotAvailable:(NSURL*)file { NSNumber* isIniCloud = nil; if ([file getResourceValue:&isIniCloud forKey:NSURLIsUbiquitousItemKey error:nil]) { // If the item is in iCloud, see if it is

Is it possible to upload a .zip file to iCloud , and then have it be synchronized across all of a user's iOS devices? If so, how would I go about doing this? If there is any File size limit, then also mention max. file size allowed. This is how I synchronized zip files with iCloud . Steps: 1) http://transoceanic.blogspot.in/2011/07/compressuncompress-files-on.html . Refer this link to download zip api which is having code for zipping and unzipping folder. 2) Now all you need to play with NSData. 3) "MyDocument.h" file #import <UIKit/UIKit.h> @interface MyDocument : UIDocument @property (strong

Has anyone got iCloud core data syncing setup on Xcode 6 and iOS 8? (hopefully this isn't a duplicate post) Where did iCloud Core Data storage option go? I remember Core Data had an extra storage option called Core Data storage, but now in Xcode 6 it only seems to show key-value and document storage when I enable the iCloud toggle in Xcode 6. Background Info New iPad app Xcode 6 Targeting minimum version iOS 7 but hoping it works for iOS 8 too? (We can set iOS 8 as minimum) Want to use iCloud Core Data storage instead of key-value or document storage. Have logged into the same Apple account in
