Chapter 9: Shoe Point of Sale System – CloudKit
In this chapter, we are going to work with CloudKit to manage our data. In order to work through the examples in this chapter, you will need to have a developer account. If you do not have one, you will not be able to do much in this chapter. We will work with CloudKit without using Core Data. We do not need Core Data, so there is no reason for us to add that extra layer. We set up our Point of Sale (POS) system design in the previous chapter, and now we will jump in and start learning about how CloudKit works.
In this chapter, we will be working with the following:
- CloudKit basics
- CloudKit Dashboard
- Manually setting up CloudKit
There is a lot to cover in this chapter, so we will take our time and make sure you fully understand what you are doing. We need to understand the basics of CloudKit first, and then we can start setting up our CloudKit helpers.
