Frequently Asked Questions about axiom-cloudkit-ref

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up CloudKit sync for structured data across private and shared databases?▼

CloudKit sync setup requires configuring entitlements, platform compatibility, and database-specific patterns for private, public, or shared databases. This reference provides step-by-step guidance for initial and incremental synchronization using modern APIs.

What is the best way to choose between SwiftData+CloudKit, CKSyncEngine, and raw CloudKit APIs?▼

Choosing between SwiftData+CloudKit, CKSyncEngine, and raw CloudKit APIs depends on your app's sync complexity and data modeling needs. This reference compares approaches for private, public, and shared databases to help you select the right pattern.

How does conflict resolution work during iCloud data synchronization?▼

Conflict resolution during iCloud data synchronization handles competing changes across devices using established patterns. This reference covers conflict resolution strategies alongside telemetry monitoring to track sync state and resolve data conflicts confidently.

Do I need specific entitlements to use CKSyncEngine for iOS and macOS apps?▼

CKSyncEngine requires specific iCloud entitlements and platform compatibility configurations for iOS and macOS apps. This reference details the setup requirements, entitlements, and platform prerequisites needed to implement structured data synchronization.

What are the limitations of using raw CloudKit APIs compared to SwiftData integration?▼

Raw CloudKit APIs offer granular control but require manual zone management and sync orchestration compared to SwiftData integration. This reference outlines when to use raw APIs versus higher-level abstractions for your database synchronization architecture.
