Implement, review, or improve CloudKit and iCloud sync in iOS/macOS apps. Use when working with CKContainer, CKRecord, CKQuery, CKSubscription, CKSyncEngine, CKShare, NSUbiquitousKeyValueStore, or iCloud Drive file coordination; when syncing SwiftData models via ModelConfiguration with cloudKitDatabase; when handling CKError codes for conflict resolution, network failures, or quota limits; or when checking iCloud account status before performing sync operations.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# CloudKit

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jordancoin/ios-skills-collection/cloudkit@sha256:3d9d788975e835d6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260329.893209f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
