In NSFileManager there is this method to move files to and from iCloud:- (BOOL)setUbiquitous:(BOOL)flag itemAtURL:(NSURL *)url destinationURL:(NSURL *)destinationURL error:(NSError **)errorOutAll the samples and information I'm able to find seem to be related to using NSDocument, which my app isn't using. I have a little view in my app that allows users to move an image out from the iCloud container and into a local directory. It seems that simply using NSFileManager moveItemAtURL:toURL:error: works fine both to move a file in and out of the iCloud container on OS X without wrapping everything in a file coordinator block. Is it still necessary to use a file coordinator to move files out of iCloud on the Mac. When I put a file in the iCloud container, the system automatically starts uploading it..even though I'm not using a file coordinator...and my related file presenter still is detecting a change.Both methods seem to be working the same, I'm just wondering if I should be using a coordinator because it's a good amount of code I can get rid of if it's not necessary.Thanks.

According to Apples Class Reference CKQuery, the operator "CONTAINS" is one of the suported operators. However, that doesn't seem to work. I have a recordtype called myRecord, and a record with filedname "name" type String. I try to fetch the record with two different predicates, one with "==" operator, and one with "CONTAINS" operator.func getRecords(){ let name = "John" let Predicate1 = NSPredicate(format: "name == %@",name) let Predicate2 = NSPredicate(format: "name CONTAINS %@",name) let sort = NSSortDescriptor(key: "Date", ascending: false) let query = CKQuery(recordType: "myRecord", predicate: Predicate1) //let query = CKQuery(recordType: "myRecord", predicate: Predicate2) query.sortDescriptors = [sort] let operation = CKQueryOperation(query: query) operation.desiredKeys = ["name", "Date"] operation.recordFetchedBlock = { (record) in print(record["name"]) operation.queryCompletionBlock = { [unowned self] (cursor, error) in dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) { if error == nil { print ("sucess") } else { print("couldn't fetch record error:\(error?.localizedDescription)") } } } CKContainer.defaultContainer().publicCloudDatabase.addOperation(operation) }Using Predicate1, outout is: Optional(John) sucessUsing Predicate2, outout is: couldn't fetch record error:Optional("Field \'name\' has a value type of STRING and cannot be queried using filter type LIST_CONTAINS")Also using [c] to ignore casings gives a crash.How do I use the operator "CONTAINS" correctly, and how do I ignore letter casings?

Hi all,I am having trouble sharing a record. I have successfully saved the record to my private database in a custom zone, and I have successfully created a share email to that record. I have accepted the share and I now see the record in the share database of the recipient under the same zoneID. In the DB, it shows also that the share has been accepted.When I click on the share link and bring up the app, I get this message in the console:2019-04-05 13:21:11.553916-0300 StoryWheel[41594:6905300] [LogFacilityCK] You cannot get the URL of a share until it's been saved to the server2019-04-05 13:21:11.559670-0300 StoryWheel[41594:6905300] -[UIApplication _handleNonLaunchSpecificActions:forScene:withTransitionContext:completion:]: Handling CloudKit Share Action with metadata: <CKShareMetadata: 0x6000017740a0; shareID=<CKRecordID: 0x60000261c9a0; recordName=Share-9F2CE009-3AC0-4658-AC0A-E4FE33664068, zoneID=storywheel:_1b1d6baf4f1340d8a7d80abf12a31551>, Owner=<CKUserIdentity: 0x60000027adc0; lookupInfo=<CKUserIdentityLookupInfo: 0x60000280d4a0; email=awilcox@***.ca>, cached=0, nameComponents=Andrew, userID=<CKRecordID: 0x60000261cfsx0; recordName=_1b1d6baf4f1340d8a7d80abf12a31551, zoneID=_defaultZone:__defaultOwner__>, contactIdentifiers={ items = ( );}>, participantStatus=Accepted, container=iCloud.ca.***.storywheel1:Sandbox, rootRecordID=<CKRecordID: 0x60000261ce80; recordName=D3D7F7BF-46B1-4CE0-8620-FE1919BD9A66, zoneID=storywheel:_1b1d6baf4f1340d8a7d80abf12a31551>, participantPermission=ReadWrite, shareURL=<null>, participantRole=PrivateUser>Not sure I understand the error message, as the record seems to be on the server.

This has been a bug for a while now on Mac OS. When you sync your desktop/documents folders with iCloud at random moments it gets stuck and never finish uploading. The folder says "waiting to upload" indefinitely. I notice it happens more often when you do a git commit on a folder that is synced with iCloud. Are there any work around for that?

I'm using fileImporter for a Mac app. If I open a file from iCloud Drive that isn't already downloaded, I need to start the download before I can read the contents of the file. I found that I can download the file by using NSFileCoordinator or FileManager.default.startDownloadingUbiquitousItem. These APIs will begin the download, but I have no updates on the progress or if the file has been downloaded. I've tried to use NSMetadataQuery with no luck. Is there a way, either with fileImporter in SwiftUI or an AppKit API that I can receive updates for when a remote file has been downloaded, or do I need to prompt the users to download the file themselves before importing into my app?

When a file named a.txt is not downloaded locally, the iCloud Drive folder actually only contains a placeholder named .a.txt.icloud (that is still displayed as a.txt by the Finder) with a very small file size, something like 176 bytes. How can I get the original file size, like the Finder displays?

I want to troubleshoot entitlements to icloud drive. An app downloaded on the macOS app store has no entitlements related to icloud. Its entitlements look like this (removing the irrelevant ones): [Key] com.apple.developer.maps [Value] [Bool] true [Key] com.apple.security.app-sandbox [Value] [Bool] true [Key] com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write [Value] [Bool] true [Key] com.apple.security.network.client [Value] [Bool] true [Key] com.apple.security.network.server [Value] [Bool] true [Key] com.apple.security.personal-information.addressbook [Value] [Bool] true [Key] com.apple.security.personal-information.calendars [Value] [Bool] true [Key] com.apple.security.personal-information.location [Value] [Bool] true I have not manually given it access to the icloud drive. This app does not appear in the list of app appearing in Settings / iCloud Drive / options. And yet, this app is able to create its directory inside iCloud drive. My understanding is that it should not have access to iCloud drive without a specific entitlement. Is my understanding off, or is this is security bug?

Texts from important people like lawyers and doctors started coming in like this.. with an @ symbol in between each letter within the text message. I have had problems in the past being hacked, and I also have some problems with battery life and receiving phone calls, emails and texts. also my Apple Cash won’t work it says there is a problem with my social security number. I don’t think the image worked.. but I was trying to post a screenshot of this. It looks like this :” H@i D@a@n@ d@i@d@ y@o@u …” the entire text comes in this way from both iPhones and androids. can’t find anything online any help is greatly appreciated! thanks

I think it is about time iCloud Backup should be extended to enable Cellular Data be enabled for it's data Use. My Understanding has been those from Africa and other less highly technological places have had it difficult in backing up their phones on iCloud due to the exclusive request for Wi-Fi. At these places Cellular data is mostly the source of readily source for for all internet connectivity's. So I think there should be a conscious effort to allow iCloud Backups through Cellular Data.

Hi, For some reason, I have an AppleID account that data in the Reminders app appears to be corrupt. This AppleID is tied to a MacBook Pro, an iPhone and an iPad Pro - 2 of the 3 share the same data, but the third doesn't. And the 2 that share the same data, the options provided for the reminders seems to be an earlier version. I do remember an OS upgrade or so ago, the Reminders database was upgraded, so this appears to be maybe the upgrade failed. I'd be happy to delete all the Reminders data for this account and start over, but I'm not sure how to do that. Any advice? Thanks, Neil

I'm trying to use the Xcode 15.0 beta on macOS 13.4 (22F66) on a MacBook Pro 16" (2019) but whenever I try to start a new project, Xcode becomes unresponsive – seemingly indefinitely. In Activity Monitor I see "Open and Save Panel Service (Xcode) (Not Responding)": Even if I try to use Xcode 14.3.1 now I get the same problem. I've tried to resolve this by removing all Xcode-related files as well as the Xcode command line tools and reinstalling them but to no avail. I'd appreciate any and all help in how to fix this. EDIT: I have since found out that if I force-quit the bird process, Xcode will react again. But the bird process will start up and shoot to the top of the % CPU l column in Activity Monitor again almost instantly. It appears to be iCloud-related but I don't know what's causing it to take up so much CPU resources and make Xcode unresponsive, and how I can fix this.

When accessing my own files on iCloud.com, the txt files appear as garbled characters. It seems that UTF-8 encoding is not supported.

Hello! I would like my users to save short videos (under 30seconds 1080p) to the public database for all other users to download and view. Is this possible? Will I run into any storage pricing with Apple if I were to pursue this as my application backend? I am looking at other methods as well (user sharing from their private database) so I can implement video sharing. Is this feasible and worth pursuing?

I have my app including iCloud support in the App Store for many years now. When I run the app on iOS 17 Beta 2 I am experiencing a very bad performance because the main thread seems to be blocked most of the time. When I run the app using the Time Profiler in Instruments it also reports the hangs and the busy main thread. I looked into the profiler window to see methods with long runtime. The most prominent method was: [BRQuery itemCollectionGathererDidReceiveUpdates:deleteItemsWithIDs:] coming from "CloudDocs". That seems to be some iOS internal class. I do not really know where to look next and I want to know whether somebody of you also experienced a similar problem? Thanks, Dirk

Guys, can you suggest some keywords about the feature: upload file to iCloud Drive via REST API (POST method)? I did a lot of research in two days and I almost thought it impossible, so I come here to get help from you guys. My project required upload the file into each user's iCloud Drive/Google Drive. For now, I'm finished with Google Drive and it works well. I found CloudKit but seem it's not allowed to upload the file into each user drive like Google Drive The workflow of my feature: Step 1. Upload file to iCloud Drive via REST API Step 2. Get the public share link from the uploaded file in Step 1
