Apple Watch

Apple ID

S Apple provides the server infrastructure, backup

functionality and user accounts.

S Types of iCloud Storage:

S Key Value Pairs

S iCloud Document Storage

S CloudKit Storage

Ask user for local or cloud storage option.

iCloud Introduction

S iCloud services encrypt the data prior to transmit and save them in an encrypted format on the iCloud servers.

S Apps place the data in the iCloud containers, primary container or custom container.

S Limited storage per user, user with many apps can get storage options extended.

S User should be given UI to delete all the data from the Cloud and all other devices.

S Local caching is done by the system, which evicts the files when not required.

Key Value Storage

S Data set similar to user defaults

S Data write is Atomic i.e. Complete or nothing

S Enable this from the Capabilities of the App.

S Listen for the change and conflict notifications.

S Size available per app is 1 MB/ 1024 Max Keys.

S Use Granular data sets, as when changes are seen

complete data set is updated on the cloud.

Document Based Storage

S Files on which data can be shared between devices.

S NSFileCoordinator and NSFilePresenter is required to

manage the operations of Document based storage.

S iCloud only sends/receives meta data and the changed

bits to/from the server.

S Use UIDocument to manage Change and conflict state of

the document.

S Perform versioning of the Data formats as user might not

update your app on all platforms simultaneously.

Core Data Based Storage

S Good for database Style Apps.

S Requires to work with managed object model and

managed objects.

S A Change log file is generated as user changes data in

the app and this is uploaded or downloaded for the user

seamlessly.

S Handling of the Swapping accounts of iCloud

CloudKit Framework

S Helps in saving/retrieving data from the cloud.

S Does not helps to maintain data locally.

S Concept of Containers to manage data on the cloud.

S Concept of 1 Public and n Private databases in each

container, data saved in form of Records.

S Requires active iCloud Account on the Device.

S Use references to co relate two objects in records.

S Usage of Assets for associated files and resources.

Mobile

feature phones users certainly have the power to

communicate with all the devices they want.
