IOS Swift: local save with CloudKit

Question

I use CloudKit to retrieve / store data, but also want to have a local save level. Does CloudKit have local storage capabilities? Or should I use NSUserDefaults (NSKeyedArchiver / NSKeyedUnarchiver)?

Answer 1

CloudKit has no mechanism for cashing data locally; you have to do it yourself. I can suggest you take a look at EVCloudKitDao , which is a CloudKit convenience library that supports local file cashing.

Answer 2

There is no caching built into CloudKit anyway when you implement it. Keep in mind to cache only system fields for recovery and synchronization with CloudKit again check fooobar.com/questions/983932 / ...
