Xcode 6 iOS 8 iCloud核心数据设置

Zha*_*ang 42 core-data ios icloud xcode6 ios8

有没有人在Xcode 6和iOS 8上获得iCloud核心数据同步设置?(希望这不是一个重复的帖子)

iCloud核心数据存储选项在哪里?

我记得Core Data有一个名为Core Data storage的额外存储选项,但现在在Xcode 6中,当我在Xcode 6中启用iCloud切换时,它似乎只显示键值和文档存储.

背景资料

  • 新的iPad应用程序
  • Xcode 6
  • 针对iOS 7的最低版本,但也希望它适用于iOS 8?(我们可以将iOS 8设置为最低限度)
  • 想要使用iCloud核心数据存储而不是键值或文档存储.
  • 已在设置> iCloud中为模拟器和iPad设备登录了相同的Apple帐户
  • 用于对应用程序进行代码签名的配置文件已启用iCloud进行开发和分发(由Xcode自动启用)

我的设置

到目前为止,我不知道我是否正确设置了Core Data iCloud.

Xcode似乎已在iOS Developer Portal中设置了iCloud容器:

iCloud.com.xxxxxx.xxxxxxxx   (note: I've replaced the actual strings with xxxx here)

我的Xcode 6 iCloud"服务"列表显示旁边没有刻度:

  • 键值存储
  • iCloud文档
  • CloudKit

我们现在应该使用哪一个,因为它没有将"核心数据"列为存储选项?

在"服务"正下方的"容器"中,它显示以下灰色选项:

  • 使用默认容器(默认情况下勾选此选项)
  • 指定自定义容器
  • iCloud.com.xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxx(再次用xxxx替换真实标识符)

我无法选择任何选项,它似乎迫使我"使用默认容器".

最后,Xcode似乎显示为:

  • 将"iCloud"权利添加到您的App ID
  • 将"iCloud容器"权利添加到您的App ID
  • 将"iCloud"权利添加到您的权利文件中
  • 链接CloudKit.framework

因此,通过Xcode自己的自动化流程,它为我设置了一切.

参考代码

好的,所以我四处阅读并注意到这里写的iCloud堆栈:

我已经采取了必要的代码并尝试适应我的核心数据管理器单例:

我的观察

我试图在iPad模拟器上运行应用程序(我相信它是iOS 8模拟器)并在运行iOS 7.x的iPad设备上运行

我在模拟器上创建了一个用户输入名称的相册,但我没有看到iPad设备显示新创建的相册.我也试过逆转角色,iPad设备创建,iOS模拟器也没有结果.

我确实看到了我的日志消息:

storeDidChange notification fire

SQLITE STORE PATH: /Users/xxxxxxx/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/3DC17576-92E9-4EAF-B77A-41340AE28F92/data/Containers/Data/Application/E51085CE-3772-4DF1-A503-1C243497091A/Documents/Albums.sqlite
Run Code Online (Sandbox Code Playgroud)

如果我在模拟器中最小化应用程序并再次打开它(不按Xcode中的"停止"按钮),我会看到以下消息:

-[PFUbiquitySwitchboardEntryMetadata setUseLocalStorage:](808): CoreData: Ubiquity:  nobody~sim301AE3E8-16B2-5A08-917D-7B55D1879BE4:iCloudStore
Using local storage: 1
Run Code Online (Sandbox Code Playgroud)

我读到"使用本地存储:0"是理想的应该是什么?并且1表示本地设备数据存储而不是iCloud数据存储.

当我创建一个专辑,保存它,停止模拟器,然后再次启动应用程序,我的专辑消失,但在我创建一个新专辑后,所有以前的专辑再次神奇地重新出现.这有点奇怪.如果我不使用iCloud并将我的代码恢复到之前的设置,我可以创建并查看我的相册,无论我是否最小化我的应用程序,或重新启动应用程序,但是我没有iCloud同步,我需要.

我在任何地方都犯过任何错误吗?

很抱歉这篇文章很长,但有没有人让iCloud为iOS 8和Xcode 6工作?

我真的可以使用一些帮助.

额外的问题

1)iOS 8是否需要使用此容器标识符?(Xcode 6为我生成的):

Run Code Online (Sandbox Code Playgroud)

这不是iOS 7的样子吗?iOS 7更像是:

2)在运行之前我需要一个iCloud Drive帐户吗?

iOS 8解决方案:

OK ...然后....大声笑.我想我解决了.

新发现.浏览此页面后:

http://www.tuaw.com/2014/09/17/psa-do-not-upgrade-to-icloud-drive-during-ios-8-installation/

它说:

iCloud Drive是Apple新推出的改进的iCloud同步和文件存储功能,允许您在iOS 8设备和运行OS X 10 Yosemite的Mac之间共享文档.

所以,我决定咬紧牙关并将我的iCloud帐户升级到iCloud驱动器(免费升级).

升级到iCloud驱动器后,通过一些Xcode 6更改重新运行我的应用程序,它现在正在运行.

需要注意的一些重要事项:

  • iCloud Drive与之前的iCloud Document&Data存储不兼容.因此,如果您要测试,请确保您的所有设备都使用iCloud驱动器和iOS 8.
  • 模拟器似乎只是同步一次,启动应用程序后设备持续同步每个间隔.不确定它是否是模拟器错误.或许我的配置并不完美.
  • 在第一次尝试时,使用"使用默认容器"在我的模拟器中不起作用(但在设备上它确实有效),可能需要删除应用程序的先前副本并重新安装.首先尝试使用默认容器,看看它是否有效,否则,请阅读下面的下一点.
  • 由于上述原因,我改为使用具有此模式的Ubiquity容器:

    iCloud中.$(CFBundleIdentifier)

所以类似于:

iCloud.com.xxxxxxxx.iCloudCoreDataDemo
Run Code Online (Sandbox Code Playgroud)

其中"xxxxxxxx"是我的公司名称标识符.

我通过登录我的iOS开发人员中心制作了上面的iCloud容器,也许您可​​以按Xcode 6中的"+"符号并在那里输入一个,Xcode应该自动为您设置一切.

我用来测试一段代码,看看它是否正常工作:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {

    self.persistentStack = [[PersistentStack alloc] initWithStoreURL:self.storeURL modelURL:self.modelURL];
    self.managedObjectContext = self.persistentStack.managedObjectContext;

    NSURL *containerURL = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] URLForUbiquityContainerIdentifier:@"iCloud.com.xxxxxxxxxx.iCloudCoreDataDemo"];

    if(containerURL == nil)
    {
        NSLog(@"containerURL == nil");
    }

本地存储1表示它当前正在使用本地存储,而本地存储0表示它已将数据移动到iCloud存储.

我希望这对其他人都有好处.

iOS 7 Only解决方案:

好的,所以我刚刚发现了一些东西,并设法让它只适用于iOS 7.我仍然没有想到如何在iOS 8中做到这一点,但我注意到一些重要的事情.

在运行iOS 8.0.2的iPhone 5上,iCloud设置菜单中没有" 文档和数据 "选项.

但是,在运行iOS 7的iPad上,我看到了"文档和数据"选项.

也许这就是它在iOS 8上不起作用的原因,我们不再拥有文档和数据存储?

无论如何,这是我发现的iOS 7唯一解决方案.

我在这里找到了这个页面

https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/General/Conceptual/iCloudDesignGuide/Chapters/iCloudFundametals.html

其中一条线说:

  • iCloud文档存储用于基于用户可见文件的内容,Core Data存储或其他基于文件的复杂内容.

果然,我进入了我的Xcode 6项目文件并勾选了"iCloud Documents"选项.这个没有灰色的单选按钮,但我仍然把它留在"使用默认容器".

我学到的一件事是我需要在appDelegate中初始化我的PersistentStack.以前,我尝试在+(id)sharedInstance方法中初始化持久性堆栈,但它导致iCloud仅在第一次同步,因此在初始加载和同步之后,添加新记录之后不会同步.

我重写了一个基本应用程序并稍微修改了持久堆栈:
