If my objective is to create a cloud backup that a user can restore if they accidentally delete my app or a bug causes data loss (no need to share data across devices), what's the simplest option to backup user CoreData daily? (Note: The occasional full iPhone backup isn't sufficient)
When I read about CloudKit I see things like:
You might wonder why you should choose CloudKit over Core Data, other commercial BaaS (Back end as a Service) offerings, or even rolling your own server...
But that's a problem because I would like to continue using CoreData! I do not want the user to depend on the cloud for data. I don't want syncing problems, online/offline issues, etc.
I would also like to avoid having the user login or create an account. According to Ray Wenderlich:
Since CloudKit uses the iCloud credentials entered when the device is set up (or entered after set up via the Settings app), there’s no need to build complicated login screens.
I see some apps use Facebook login but I'd even like to avoid that! So can I use CloudKit to avoid login screens but also still use CoreData?
Although code answers are great, just a general answer on what API/design-pattern is used for this type of functionality would suffice.
