Attributes

Remarks

The CKContainer class is the highest-level class in the N:CloudKit namespace. A CloudKit Container (sometimes referred to in Apple documentation as a "Ubiquity container") is an information store identified with a particular name. Apple advises using a name of the form "iCloud.{reverse DNS}.{appName}", for instance, "iCloud.com.mycompany.MyApp". Developers must create and configure their containers using the iCloud Dashboard, available by way of the Apple developer portal. To retrieve a container, developers use the static FromIdentifier(String) method.

A single CKContainer may contain both public data, which is shared between all instances of the app (see PublicCloudDatabase), and private data, which contains user-specific data (see PrivateCloudDatabase). Within iCloud, public data is stored in the app's iCloud storage while private data is stored in the user's private iCloud storage. The public CKDatabase is available to all connected users of the app, whether or not they are logged in to iCloud. The private CKDatabase is only if the user is logged in to iCloud. Developers must write their code such that it reacts gracefully to changes in the user's login or connection status.
