容器和数据库设置
在 Signing & Capabilities 中启用 iCloud + CloudKit。一个容器提供三个数据库:
| 数据库 | 范围 | 是否需要 iCloud | 存储配额 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Public | 所有用户 | 读取:否,写入:是 | App 配额 |
| Private | 当前用户 | 是 | 用户配额 |
| Shared | 共享记录 | 是 | 所有者配额 |
import CloudKit
let container = CKContainer.default()
// Or named: CKContainer(identifier: "iCloud.com.example.app")
let publicDB = container.publicCloudDatabase
let privateDB = container.privateCloudDatabase
let sharedDB = container.sharedCloudDatabase
CKRecord 增删改查
记录是键值对。每条记录最大为 1 MB(不包括 CKAsset 数据)。
// CREATE
let record = CKRecord(recordType: "Note")
record["title"] = "Meeting Notes" as CKRecordValue
record["body"] = "Discussed Q3 roadmap" as CKRecordValue
record["createdAt"] = Date() as CKRecordValue
record["tags"] = ["work", "planning"] as CKRecordValue
let saved = try await privateDB.save(record)
// FETCH by ID
let recordID = CKRecord.ID(recordName: "unique-id-123")
let fetched = try await privateDB.record(for: recordID)
// UPDATE -- fetch first, modify, then save
fetched["title"] = "Updated Title" as CKRecordValue
let updated = try await privateDB.save(fetched)
// DELETE
try await privateDB.deleteRecord(withID: recordID)
自定义记录区域(仅限 Private/Shared)
自定义区域支持原子提交、变更跟踪和共享。
let zoneID = CKRecordZone.ID(zoneName: "NotesZone")
let zone = CKRecordZone(zoneID: zoneID)
try await privateDB.save(zone)
let recordID = CKRecord.ID(recordName: UUID().uuidString, zoneID: zoneID)
let record = CKRecord(recordType: "Note", recordID: recordID)
CKQuery
使用 NSPredicate 查询记录。支持:==、!=、<、>、<=、>=、
BEGINSWITH、CONTAINS、IN、AND、NOT、BETWEEN、
distanceToLocation:fromLocation:。
let predicate = NSPredicate(format: "title BEGINSWITH %@", "Meeting")
let query = CKQuery(recordType: "Note", predicate: predicate)
query.sortDescriptors = [NSSortDescriptor(key: "createdAt", ascending: false)]
let (results, _) = try await privateDB.records(matching: query)
for (_, result) in results {
let record = try result.get()
print(record["title"] as? String ?? "")
}
// Fetch all records of a type
let allQuery = CKQuery(recordType: "Note", predicate: NSPredicate(value: true))
// Full-text search across string fields
let searchQuery = CKQuery(
recordType: "Note",
predicate: NSPredicate(format: "self CONTAINS %@", "roadmap")
)
// Compound predicate
let compound = NSCompoundPredicate(andPredicateWithSubpredicates: [
NSPredicate(format: "createdAt > %@", cutoffDate as NSDate),
NSPredicate(format: "tags CONTAINS %@", "work")
])
CKSubscription
记录在服务端发生变更时,订阅会触发推送通知。 CloudKit 会自动启用 APNs——无需显式配置推送权限。
// Query subscription -- fires when matching records change
let subscription = CKQuerySubscription(
recordType: "Note",
predicate: NSPredicate(format: "tags CONTAINS %@", "urgent"),
subscriptionID: "urgent-notes",
options: [.firesOnRecordCreation, .firesOnRecordUpdate]
)
let notifInfo = CKSubscription.NotificationInfo()
notifInfo.shouldSendContentAvailable = true // silent push
subscription.notificationInfo = notifInfo
try await privateDB.save(subscription)
// Database subscription -- fires on any database change
let dbSub = CKDatabaseSubscription(subscriptionID: "private-db-changes")
dbSub.notificationInfo = notifInfo
try await privateDB.save(dbSub)
// Record zone subscription -- fires on changes within a zone
let zoneSub = CKRecordZoneSubscription(
zoneID: CKRecordZone.ID(zoneName: "NotesZone"),
subscriptionID: "notes-zone-changes"
)
zoneSub.notificationInfo = notifInfo
try await privateDB.save(zoneSub)
在 AppDelegate 中处理:
func application(
_ application: UIApplication,
didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [AnyHashable: Any]
) async -> UIBackgroundFetchResult {
let notification = CKNotification(fromRemoteNotificationDictionary: userInfo)
guard notification?.subscriptionID == "private-db-changes" else { return .noData }
// Fetch changes using CKSyncEngine or CKFetchRecordZoneChangesOperation
return .newData
}
CKSyncEngine(iOS 17+)
CKSyncEngine 是推荐的同步方式。它会自动处理调度、瞬时错误重试、变更令牌和推送通知。
仅适用于 private 和 shared 数据库。
import CloudKit
final class SyncManager: CKSyncEngineDelegate {
let syncEngine: CKSyncEngine
init(container: CKContainer = .default()) {
let config = CKSyncEngine.Configuration(
database: container.privateCloudDatabase,
stateSerialization: Self.loadState(),
delegate: self
)
self.syncEngine = CKSyncEngine(config)
}
func handleEvent(_ event: CKSyncEngine.Event, syncEngine: CKSyncEngine) {
switch event {
case .stateUpdate(let update):
Self.saveState(update.stateSerialization)
case .accountChange(let change):
handleAccountChange(change)
case .fetchedRecordZoneChanges(let changes):
for mod in changes.modifications { processRemoteRecord(mod.record) }
for del in changes.deletions { processRemoteDeletion(del.recordID) }
case .sentRecordZoneChanges(let sent):
for saved in sent.savedRecords { markSynced(saved) }
for fail in sent.failedRecordSaves { handleSaveFailure(fail) }
default: break
}
}
func nextRecordZoneChangeBatch(
_ context: CKSyncEngine.SendChangesContext,
syncEngine: CKSyncEngine
) -> CKSyncEngine.RecordZoneChangeBatch? {
let pending = syncEngine.state.pendingRecordZoneChanges
return CKSyncEngine.RecordZoneChangeBatch(
pendingChanges: Array(pending)
) { recordID in self.recordToSend(for: recordID) }
}
}
// Schedule changes
let zoneID = CKRecordZone.ID(zoneName: "NotesZone")
let recordID = CKRecord.ID(recordName: noteID, zoneID: zoneID)
syncEngine.state.add(pendingRecordZoneChanges: [.saveRecord(recordID)])
// Trigger immediate sync (pull-to-refresh)
try await syncEngine.fetchChanges()
try await syncEngine.sendChanges()
要点:在多次启动之间持久化 stateSerialization;引擎需要它才能从正确的变更令牌恢复。
SwiftData + CloudKit
ModelConfiguration 支持 CloudKit 同步。CloudKit 模型必须使用可选属性,并避免使用唯一约束。
import SwiftData
@Model
class Note {
var title: String
var body: String?
var createdAt: Date?
@Attribute(.externalStorage) var imageData: Data?
init(title: String, body: String? = nil) {
self.title = title
self.body = body
self.createdAt = Date()
}
}
let config = ModelConfiguration(
"Notes",
cloudKitDatabase: .private("iCloud.com.example.app")
)
let container = try ModelContainer(for: Note.self, configurations: config)
CloudKit 模型规则:所有非 String 属性都使用可选类型;避免使用 #Unique;保持模型扁平;对大型数据使用 @Attribute(.externalStorage);避免复杂的关系图。
NSUbiquitousKeyValueStore
简单的键值同步。最多 1024 个键,总计 1 MB,每个值最大 1 MB。iCloud 不可用时会在本地存储。
let kvStore = NSUbiquitousKeyValueStore.default
// Write
kvStore.set("dark", forKey: "theme")
kvStore.set(14.0, forKey: "fontSize")
kvStore.set(true, forKey: "notificationsEnabled")
kvStore.synchronize()
// Read
let theme = kvStore.string(forKey: "theme") ?? "system"
// Observe external changes
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(
forName: NSUbiquitousKeyValueStore.didChangeExternallyNotification,
object: kvStore, queue: .main
) { notification in
guard let userInfo = notification.userInfo,
let reason = userInfo[NSUbiquitousKeyValueStoreChangeReasonKey] as? Int,
let keys = userInfo[NSUbiquitousKeyValueStoreChangedKeysKey] as? [String]
else { return }
switch reason {
case NSUbiquitousKeyValueStoreServerChange:
for key in keys { applyRemoteChange(key: key) }
case NSUbiquitousKeyValueStoreInitialSyncChange:
reloadAllSettings()
case NSUbiquitousKeyValueStoreQuotaViolationChange:
handleQuotaExceeded()
default: break
}
}
iCloud Drive 文件同步
使用 FileManager ubiquity API 进行文档级同步。
guard let ubiquityURL = FileManager.default.url(
forUbiquityContainerIdentifier: "iCloud.com.example.app"
) else { return } // iCloud not available
let docsURL = ubiquityURL.appendingPathComponent("Documents")
let cloudURL = docsURL.appendingPathComponent("report.pdf")
try FileManager.default.setUbiquitous(true, itemAt: localURL, destinationURL: cloudURL)
// Monitor iCloud files
let query = NSMetadataQuery()
query.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "%K LIKE '*.pdf'", NSMetadataItemFSNameKey)
query.searchScopes = [NSMetadataQueryUbiquitousDocumentsScope]
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(
forName: .NSMetadataQueryDidFinishGathering, object: query, queue: .main
) { _ in
query.disableUpdates()
for item in query.results as? [NSMetadataItem] ?? [] {
let name = item.value(forAttribute: NSMetadataItemFSNameKey) as? String
let status = item.value(
forAttribute: NSMetadataUbiquitousItemDownloadingStatusKey) as? String
}
query.enableUpdates()
}
query.start()
账户状态和错误处理
同步前务必检查账户状态。监听 .CKAccountChanged。
func checkiCloudStatus() async throws -> CKAccountStatus {
let status = try await CKContainer.default().accountStatus()
switch status {
case .available: return status
case .noAccount: throw SyncError.noiCloudAccount
case .restricted: throw SyncError.restricted
case .temporarilyUnavailable: throw SyncError.temporarilyUnavailable
case .couldNotDetermine: throw SyncError.unknown
@unknown default: throw SyncError.unknown
}
}
CKError 处理
| 错误代码 | 策略 |
|---|---|
.networkFailure、.networkUnavailable | 网络恢复后排队重试 |
.serverRecordChanged | 执行三方合并(参见“冲突解决”) |
.requestRateLimited、.zoneBusy、.serviceUnavailable | 在 retryAfterSeconds 指定的时间后重试 |
.quotaExceeded | 通知用户;减少数据用量 |
.notAuthenticated | 提示用户登录 iCloud |
.partialFailure | 按项检查 partialErrorsByItemID |
.changeTokenExpired | 重置令牌,重新获取所有变更 |
.userDeletedZone | 重新创建区域并重新上传数据 |
func handleCloudKitError(_ error: Error) {
guard let ckError = error as? CKError else { return }
switch ckError.code {
case .networkFailure, .networkUnavailable:
scheduleRetryWhenOnline()
case .serverRecordChanged:
resolveConflict(ckError)
case .requestRateLimited, .zoneBusy, .serviceUnavailable:
let delay = ckError.retryAfterSeconds ?? 3.0
scheduleRetry(after: delay)
case .quotaExceeded:
notifyUserStorageFull()
case .partialFailure:
if let partial = ckError.partialErrorsByItemID {
for (_, itemError) in partial { handleCloudKitError(itemError) }
}
case .changeTokenExpired:
resetChangeToken()
case .userDeletedZone:
recreateZoneAndResync()
default: logError(ckError)
}
}
冲突解决
保存已在服务端发生变更的记录时,CloudKit 会通过 .serverRecordChanged 返回三个版本的记录。务必将变更合并到 serverRecord 中——它具有正确的变更标签。
func resolveConflict(_ error: CKError) {
guard error.code == .serverRecordChanged,
let ancestor = error.ancestorRecord,
let client = error.clientRecord,
let server = error.serverRecord
else { return }
// Merge client changes into server record
for key in client.changedKeys() {
if server[key] == ancestor[key] {
server[key] = client[key] // Server unchanged, use client
} else if client[key] == ancestor[key] {
// Client unchanged, keep server (already there)
} else {
server[key] = mergeValues( // Both changed, custom merge
ancestor: ancestor[key], client: client[key], server: server[key])
}
}
Task { try await CKContainer.default().privateCloudDatabase.save(server) }
}
常见错误
不要: 未检查账户状态就执行同步操作。
应该: 先检查 CKContainer.accountStatus();处理 .noAccount。
// WRONG
try await privateDB.save(record)
// CORRECT
guard try await CKContainer.default().accountStatus() == .available
else { throw SyncError.noiCloudAccount }
try await privateDB.save(record)
不要: 忽略 .serverRecordChanged 错误。
应该: 使用祖先、客户端和服务端记录实现三方合并。
不要: 将用户专属数据存储在公共数据库中。 应该: 个人数据使用私有数据库;公共数据库仅用于全应用共享的内容。
不要: 以为保存后数据会立即可用。 应该: 乐观地更新本地缓存,并在获取数据时进行协调。
不要: 定时轮询更改。
应该: 使用 CKDatabaseSubscription 或 CKSyncEngine 实现基于推送的同步。
// WRONG
Timer.scheduledTimer(withTimeInterval: 30, repeats: true) { _ in fetchAll() }
// CORRECT
let sub = CKDatabaseSubscription(subscriptionID: "db-changes")
sub.notificationInfo = CKSubscription.NotificationInfo()
sub.notificationInfo?.shouldSendContentAvailable = true
try await privateDB.save(sub)
不要: 遇到速率限制时立即重试。
应该: 使用 CKError.retryAfterSeconds 等待所需时长。
不要: 将冲突更改合并到 clientRecord。
应该: 始终合并到 serverRecord 中——它具有正确的更改标记。
不要: 每次获取数据时都传入 nil 更改令牌。 应该: 将更改令牌持久化到磁盘,并在后续获取时提供。
审查清单
- 在 Signing & Capabilities 中启用了 iCloud + CloudKit 功能
- 同步前检查账户状态;妥善处理
.noAccount - 用户数据使用私有数据库;公共数据库仅用于共享内容
- 使用三方合并将
CKError.serverRecordChanged合并到serverRecord - 将网络故障排队以便重试;遵循
retryAfterSeconds - 使用
CKDatabaseSubscription或CKSyncEngine实现基于推送的同步 - 将更改令牌持久化到磁盘;
changeTokenExpired时重置并重新获取 - 通过
partialErrorsByItemID检查每项的.partialFailure错误 - 通过重新创建区域并重新同步来处理
.userDeletedZone - SwiftData CloudKit 模型使用可选项,不使用
#Unique,大数据使用.externalStorage - 监听
NSUbiquitousKeyValueStore.didChangeExternallyNotification - 敏感数据在 CKRecord 上使用
encryptedValues(而非普通字段) - 在各次启动之间持久化
CKSyncEngine状态序列化数据(iOS 17+)
