Sync settings through iCloud key-value storage.
Similar to @AppStorage
and @SceneStorage
in iOS14, this @CloudStorage
property wrapper persists values across app restarts.
But this also synchronizes these values across devices using iCloud Key-Value Storage.
Make sure you enable the "key-value storage" service in the iCloud capability. See Apple's documentation
@CloudStorage("readyForAction") var readyForAction: Bool = false
@CloudStorage("numberOfItems") var numberOfItems: Int = 0
@CloudStorage("orientation") var orientation: String?
See also the example app in this repository.
The same caveats apply as with key-value storage itself:
Key-value storage is for discrete values such as preferences, settings, and simple app state.
Use iCloud key-value storage for small amounts of data: stocks or weather information, locations, bookmarks, a recent documents list, settings and preferences, and simple game state. Every app submitted to the App Store or Mac App Store should take advantage of key-value storage.
From Apple's documenation on choosing the proper iCloud Storage API
In general, key-value storage is not meant as a general purpose syncing service. If you need any advanced capabilities to prevent data loss, consider using CloudKit instead.
