Hi all,
I recently discovered that I forgot to deploy my CloudKit schema changes from development to production - an oversight that unfortunately went unnoticed for 2.5 months.
As a result, any data created during that time was never synced to iCloud and remains only in the local CoreData store. Once I pushed the schema to production, CloudKit resumed syncing new changes as expected.
However, this leaves me with a gap: there's now a significant amount of data that would be lost if users delete or reinstall the app.
Before I attempt to implement a manual backup or migration strategy, I was wondering:
- Does NSPersistentCloudKitContainer keep track of local changes that couldn't be synced doe to the missing schema and automatically reattempt syncing them now that the schema is live?
- If not, what would be the best approach to ensure this "orphaned" data gets saved to CloudKit retroactively.
Thanks in advance for any guidance or suggestions.
