solving the same problem: synchronizing application data between user devices.
- MBCook 10y agoNot really, they're very different. My understanding is CloudKit is more like a file system or key/value store. CoreData is an object graph, automatically persisted and fetched, and thus incredibly complex to manage differing versions and concurrent modifications on multiple devices.
- bsaul 10y agoI think that's the point : it's much simpler ( but requires you to do more manualy) and thus has more chances to work. In the end, as op mentionned, the goal is the same : save something on a server to fetch it later when you need it.
- madeofpalk 10y agoBut we're talking about the deprecation of an API. Hence, the difference is extremely important iCloud Core Data is (supposedly) deprecated, CloudKit isn't.
