Usage
Retrieve existing records
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithValue:YES];
CKQuery *query = [[CKQuery alloc] initWithRecordType:@"RecordType" predicate:predicate];
[[CKContainer defaultContainer].publicCloudDatabase performQuery:query
inZoneWithID:nil
completionHandler:^(NSArray *results, NSError *error) {
}];Create a new record
CKRecord *record = [[CKRecord alloc] initWithRecordType:@"RecordType"];
record[@"key"] = @"Some data";
[[CKContainer defaultContainer].publicCloudDatabase saveRecord:record completionHandler:^(CKRecord *record, NSError *error) {
}];Update the record
CKRecordID *recordID = [[CKRecordID alloc] initWithRecordName:@"recordId"];
[[CKContainer defaultContainer].publicCloudDatabase fetchRecordWithID:recordID completionHandler:^(CKRecord *record, NSError *error) {
if (error) {
return;
}
record[@"key"] = @"Some data";
[[CKContainer defaultContainer].publicCloudDatabase saveRecord:record completionHandler:^(CKRecord *record, NSError *error) {
}];
}];Remove the record
CKRecordID *recordID = [[CKRecordID alloc] initWithRecordName:@"recordId"];
[[CKContainer defaultContainer].publicCloudDatabase deleteRecordWithID:recordID completionHandler:^(CKRecordID *recordID, NSError *error) {
