I'm trying to share a record with other users in CloudKit but I keep getting an error. When I tap one of the items/records on the table I'm presented with the UICloudSharingController and I can see the iMessage app icon, but when I tap on it I get an error and the UICloudSharingController disappears, the funny thing is that even after the error I can still continue using the app.
Here is what I have.
Code
var items = [CKRecord]()
var itemName: String?
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
let item = items[indexPath.row]
let share = CKShare(rootRecord: item)
if let itemName = item.object(forKey: "name") as? String {
self.itemName = item.object(forKey: "name") as? String
share[CKShareTitleKey] = "Sharing \(itemName)" as CKRecordValue?
} else {
share[CKShareTitleKey] = "" as CKRecordValue?
self.itemName = "item"
}
share[CKShareTypeKey] = "bundle.Identifier.Here" as CKRecordValue
prepareToShare(share: share, record: item)
}
private func prepareToShare(share: CKShare, record: CKRecord){
let sharingViewController = UICloudSharingController(preparationHandler: {(UICloudSharingController, handler: #escaping (CKShare?, CKContainer?, Error?) -> Void) in
let modRecordsList = CKModifyRecordsOperation(recordsToSave: [record, share], recordIDsToDelete: nil)
modRecordsList.modifyRecordsCompletionBlock = {
(record, recordID, error) in
handler(share, CKContainer.default(), error)
}
CKContainer.default().privateCloudDatabase.add(modRecordsList)
})
sharingViewController.delegate = self
sharingViewController.availablePermissions = [.allowPrivate]
self.navigationController?.present(sharingViewController, animated:true, completion:nil)
}
// Delegate Methods:
func cloudSharingControllerDidSaveShare(_ csc: UICloudSharingController) {
print("saved successfully")
}
func cloudSharingController(_ csc: UICloudSharingController, failedToSaveShareWithError error: Error) {
print("failed to save: \(error.localizedDescription)")// the error is generated in this method
}
func itemThumbnailData(for csc: UICloudSharingController) -> Data? {
return nil //You can set a hero image in your share sheet. Nil uses the default.
}
func itemTitle(for csc: UICloudSharingController) -> String? {
return self.itemName
}
ERROR
Failed to modify some records
Here is what I see...
Any idea what could be wrong?
EDIT:
By the way, the error is generated in the cloudSharingController failedToSaveShareWithError method.
Looks like you're trying to share in the default zone which isn't allowed. From the docs here
Sharing is only supported in zones with the
CKRecordZoneCapabilitySharing capability. The default zone does not
support sharing.
So you should set up a custom zone in your private database, and save your share and records there.
Possibly it is from the way you're trying to instantiate the UICloudSharingController? I cribbed my directly from the docs and it works:
let cloudSharingController = UICloudSharingController { [weak self] (controller, completion: #escaping (CKShare?, CKContainer?, Error?) -> Void) in
guard let `self` = self else {
return
}
self.share(rootRecord: rootRecord, completion: completion)
}
If that's not the problem it's something with either one or both of the records themselves. If you upload the record without trying to share it, does it work?
EDIT TO ADD:
What is the CKShareTypeKey? I don't use that in my app. Also I set my system fields differently:
share?[CKShare.SystemFieldKey.title] = "Something"
Try to add this to your info.plist
<key>CKSharingSupported</key>
<true/>

I'm using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer for storing data and UICloudSharingController for sharing.
Here's how UICloudSharingController is created (that's pretty basic stuff):
func share(_ record: Record, avatar: UIImage) {
let controller = shareControllerForRecord(record, avatar: avatar)
controller.delegate = self
controller.popoverPresentationController?.sourceView = self.view
controller.popoverPresentationController?.permittedArrowDirections = []
present(controller, animated: true)
}
func shareControllerForRecord(_ record: Record, avatar: UIImage) -> UICloudSharingController {
if let share = share(for: record) {
let controller = UICloudSharingController(share: share, container: self.cloudKitContainer)
return controller
} else {
let controller = UICloudSharingController { [weak self] (controller, completion: #escaping (CKShare?, CKContainer?, Error?) -> Void) in
guard let self = self else { return }
self.persistentContainer.share([record], to: nil) { objectIDs, share, container, error in
if let share = share {
record.managedObjectContext?.performAndWait {
share[CKShare.SystemFieldKey.title] = record.title
share[CKShare.SystemFieldKey.thumbnailImageData] = avatar.pngData()
}
}
completion(share, container, error)
}
}
return controller
}
}
Once UICloudSharingController is created the user do basic stuff, and in most cases sharing works fine. But some users (I can see it in analytics) get this error:
Error Domain=_UIShareErrorDomain Code=0 "(null)" UserInfo={NSUnderlyingError=0x28399e340 {Error Domain=CKErrorDomain Code=2 "CKInternalErrorDomain: 1011" UserInfo={ContainerID=iCloud.net.bundleidentifier, NSDebugDescription=CKInternalErrorDomain: 1011, CKPartialErrors={ "<CKRecordID: 0x2837f2280; recordName=cloudkit.zoneshare, zoneID=com.apple.coredata.cloudkit.share.9A2156CD-2E69-4987-966E-AC5A3F593737:defaultOwner>" = "<CKError 0x28399d890: "Unknown Item" (11/2003); server message = "recordChangeTag specified, but record not found"; op = CE76405043B1BE49; uuid = C567647F-331B-4002-9893-2791F38131B3; container ID = "iCloud.net.bundleidentifier">"; }, RequestUUID=C567647F-331B-4002-9893-2791F38131B3, NSLocalizedDescription=Failed to modify some records, CKErrorDescription=Failed to modify some records, NSUnderlyingError=0x28399e430 {Error Domain=CKInternalErrorDomain Code=1011 "Failed to modify some records"
For me it seems like remote database doesn't have the Record uploaded yet. But it's strange, because these are not newly created records. Besides, for majority of users sharing works.
Can anyone advise?
I have a project that I want to add sirikit to. I added the intent and wanted to store values in my datastorage which is realm, when I tried to access the function that is used to create this task , I get an eeror. this is my code below
extension IntentHandler : INCreateTaskListIntentHandling {
public func handle(intent: INCreateTaskListIntent,
completion: #escaping (INCreateTaskListIntentResponse) -> Swift.Void) {
guard let title = intent.title else {
completion(INCreateTaskListIntentResponse(code: .failure, userActivity: nil))
return
}
CategoryFunctions.instance.createList(name: title.spokenPhrase,.....)
var tasks: [INTask] = []
if let taskTitles = intent.taskTitles {
let taskTitlesStrings = taskTitles.map {
taskTitle -> String in
return taskTitle.spokenPhrase
}
tasks = createTasks(fromTitles: taskTitlesStrings)
CategoryFunctions.instance.add(tasks: taskTitlesStrings, toList: title.spokenPhrase)

response.createdTaskList = INTaskList(title: title,
tasks: tasks,

this singlton instantiation works well in my app but I do not know why I get an error saying Use of unresolved identifier 'CategoryFunctions'

Select your file in xcode, on the right, choose the File Inspector, then under Target Membership, pick your Intent.
Here is what I am trying to do. I have a simple journaling app with two views: a tableView that lists the titles of the entries and a viewController that has a text field for a title, and a textView for the text body (and a save button to save to cloudKit). On the viewController, I hit save and the record is saved to cloudKit and also added to the tableView successfully. This is all good.
I want to be able to edit/update the journal entry. But when I go back into the journal entry, change it in any way, then hit save again, the app returns to the tableView controller with an updated entry, but cloudKit creates a NEW entry separate from the one I wanted to edit. Then when I reload the app, my fetchRecords function fetches any extra records cloudKit has created.
Question: How do I edit/update an existing journal entry without creating a new entry in cloudKit?
Let me know if you need something else to further clarify my question.
Thanks!
Here are my cloudKit functions:
import Foundation
import CloudKit
class CloudKitManager {
let privateDB = CKContainer.default().publicCloudDatabase //Since this is a journaling app, we'll make it private.
func fetchRecordsWith(type: String, completion: #escaping ((_ records: [CKRecord]?, _ error: Error?) -> Void)) {
let predicate = NSPredicate(value: true) // Like saying I want everything returned to me with the recordType: type. This isn't a good idea if you have a massive app like instagram because you don't want all posts ever made to be loaded, just some from that day and from your friends or something.
let query = CKQuery(recordType: type, predicate: predicate)
privateDB.perform(query, inZoneWith: nil, completionHandler: completion) //Allows us to handle the completion in the EntryController to maintain proper MVC.
}
func save(records: [CKRecord], perRecordCompletion: ((_ record: CKRecord?, _ error: Error?) -> Void)?, completion: ((_ records: [CKRecord]?, _ error: Error?) -> Void)?) {
modify(records: records, perRecordCompletion: perRecordCompletion, completion: completion )
}
func modify(records: [CKRecord], perRecordCompletion: ((_ record: CKRecord?, _ error: Error?) -> Void)?, completion: ((_ records: [CKRecord]?, _ error: Error?) -> Void)?) {
let operation = CKModifyRecordsOperation(recordsToSave: records, recordIDsToDelete: nil)
operation.savePolicy = .ifServerRecordUnchanged //This is what updates certain changes within a record.
operation.queuePriority = .high
operation.qualityOfService = .userInteractive
operation.perRecordCompletionBlock = perRecordCompletion
operation.modifyRecordsCompletionBlock = { (records, _, error) in
completion?(records, error)
}
privateDB.add(operation) //This is what actually saves your data to the database on cloudkit. When there is an operation, you need to add it.
}
}
This is my model controller where my cloudKit functions are being used:
import Foundation
import CloudKit
let entriesWereSetNotification = Notification.Name("entriesWereSet")
class EntryController {
private static let EntriesKey = "entries"
static let shared = EntryController()
let cloudKitManager = CloudKitManager()
init() {
loadFromPersistentStorage()
}
func addEntryWith(title: String, text: String) {
let entry = Entry(title: title, text: text)
entries.append(entry)
saveToPersistentStorage()
}
func remove(entry: Entry) {
if let entryIndex = entries.index(of: entry) {
entries.remove(at: entryIndex)
}
saveToPersistentStorage()
}
func update(entry: Entry, with title: String, text: String) {
entry.title = title
entry.text = text
saveToPersistentStorage()
}
// MARK: Private
private func loadFromPersistentStorage() {
cloudKitManager.fetchRecordsWith(type: Entry.TypeKey) { (records, error) in
if let error = error {
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
guard let records = records else { return } //Make sure there are records.
let entries = records.flatMap({Entry(cloudKitRecord: $0)})
self.entries = entries //This is connected to the private(set) property "entries"
}
}
private func saveToPersistentStorage() {
let entryRecords = self.entries.map({$0.cloudKitRecord})
cloudKitManager.save(records: entryRecords, perRecordCompletion: nil) { (records, error) in
if error != nil {
print(error?.localizedDescription as Any)
return
} else {
print("Successfully saved records to cloudKit")
}
}
}
// MARK: Properties
private(set) var entries = [Entry]() {
didSet {
DispatchQueue.main.async {
NotificationCenter.default.post(name: entriesWereSetNotification, object: nil)
}
}
}
}
Here's a couple threads that might be helpful.
If you were caching the data locally you would use the encodesystemfields method to create a new CKRecord that will update an existing one on the server.
How (and when) do I use iCloud's encodeSystemFields method on CKRecord?
It doesn't appear you are caching locally. I don't have experience doing it without using encodesystemfields, but it looks like you have to pull the record down and save it back in the completion handler of the convenience method:
Trying to modify ckrecord in swift
Below I have my existing query download and cell for table row code...
publicDB.perform(query, inZoneWith: nil)
{
(results, error) -> Void in
if (error != nil)
{
self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
else
{
for result in results!
{
self.restaurantArray.append(result)
}
OperationQueue.main.addOperation( { () -> Void in
self.tableView.reloadData()
}) } }}
downloadRestaurants()
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "restaurantcell") as? RestaurantTableCell
let restaurant: CKRecord = restaurantArray[indexPath.row]
cell?.name?.text = restaurant.value(forKey: "Name") as? String
let asset = restaurant.value(forKey: "Picture") as! CKAsset
let data = try! Data(contentsOf: asset.fileURL)
_ = UIImage(data: data)
cell?.picture?.image = UIImage(data: data)
return cell!
}
When I run this code, the app remains functional but scrolling through the 10 or so table cells is incredibly choppy. I am unsure what is causing this - all records, each containing an image, are downloaded during the query download portion of the top function. However, a problem or concept I'm missing is ever present during runtime. What am I missing here? Lazy loading? cache? something else? Unsure at this point, so any help would be incredibly helpful.
Update 1:
I've updated my code with a large thank you going to Pierce. I've had to update my code ever so slightly from his answer to maintain a ckrecord array to segue over to another controller via - restaurantArray but also create a new array for the NSObject class - tablerestaurantarray to be displayed in the current table controller.
var restaurantArray: Array<CKRecord> = []
var tablerestaurantarray: [Restaurant] = []
for result in results!
{
let tablerestaurant = Restaurant()
if let name = result.value(forKey: "Name") as! String? {
tablerestaurant.name = name
}
// Do same for image
if let imageAsset = result.object(forKey: "Picture") as! CKAsset? {
if let data = try? Data(contentsOf: imageAsset.fileURL) {
tablerestaurant.image = UIImage(data: data)
}
}
self.tablerestaurantarray.append(tablerestaurant)
self.restaurantArray.append(result)
}
OperationQueue.main.addOperation( { () -> Void in
self.tableView.reloadData()
})
}
}
}
downloadRestaurants()
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return restaurantArray.count
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "restaurantcell") as? RestaurantTableCell
let restaurant: Restaurant = tablerestaurantarray[indexPath.row]
cell?.name?.text = restaurant.name
cell?.picture?.image = restaurant.image
return cell!
}
The way your code is setup, whenever you scroll in your UITableView, your program is converting a CKAsset into Data, and then converting that into a UIImage, and that's within every cell! That's a rather inefficient process, so try creating an NSObject called something like Restaurant that has an image property, and when you go through all the records returned from your CKQuery, parse each record into a new Restaurant object. To create a new NSObject, go to File -> New -> File -> select 'Swift File' and add something like this:
import UIKit
class Restaurant: NSObject {
// Create a UIImage property
var image: UIImage?
// Add any other properties, i.e. name, address, etc.
var name: String = ""
}
Now for your query:
// Create an empty array of Restaurant objects
var restaurantArray: [Restaurant] = []
publicDB.perform(query, inZoneWith: nil) { (results, error) -> Void in
if (error != nil) {
self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
} else {
for result in results! {
// Create a new instance of Restaurant
let restaurant = Restaurant()
// Use optional binding to check if value exists
if let name = result.value(forKey: "Name") as! String? {
restaurant.name = name
}
// Do same for image
if let imageAsset = result.object(forKey: "Picture") as! CKAsset? {
if let data = try? Data(contentsOf: imageAsset.fileURL) {
restaurant.image = UIImage(data: data)
}
}
// Append the new Restaurant to the Restaurants array (which is now an array of Restaurant objects, NOT CKRecords)
self.restaurantArray.append(restaurant)
}
OperationQueue.main.addOperation( { () -> Void in
self.tableView.reloadData()
})
}
}
Now your cell setup is much simpler:
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "restaurantcell") as? RestaurantTableCell
let restaurant: Restaurant = restaurantArray[indexPath.row]
cell?.name?.text = restaurant.name
cell?.picture?.image = restaurant.image
return cell!
}
You should use CKQueryOperation in order to implements pagination for your UITableView.
You have to set the resultLimit property to a number equals to the cell quantity visiable at one time on you table plus 3 or 4
Set recordFetchedBlock property where you have to implement the code that will apply to one CKRecord
Set queryCompletionBlock property. This is the most important part on your pagination code because this closure receive an Optional CKQueryCursor parameter.
If this CKQueryCursor is nil then you have reach the last record available for you query but if it's a non nil value, then you have more records to fetch using this CKQueryCursor as indicator to your next fetch.
When user scroll on your TableView and reach the last element you should perform another fetch with CKQueryCursor.
Other performance advice is CKAssets should be treated on separated execution queues.
I'm creating a yik yak clone and I can't seem to see the messages I post in the textField(string) on Parse. Is there something wrong I'm doing in my code that's not letting it show up on Parse?
#IBAction func postPressed(sender: AnyObject) {
if(currLocation != nil){
let testObj = PFObject(className: "BubbleTest")
testObj["userName"] = PFUser.currentUser()?.username
//testObj["profileName"] = PFUser.valueForKey("profileName") as! String
//testObj["photo"] = PFUser.currentUser()?.valueForKey("photo") as! PFFile
testObj["textField"] = self.textField.text
testObj["location"] = PFGeoPoint(latitude: currLocation!.latitude , longitude: currLocation!.longitude)
testObj["count"] = 0
testObj["replies"] = 0
testObj.saveInBackground()
self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}
else {
alert()
}
The reason you are not seeing anything because you post it into the wrong class. According to the picture BubbleTest is the name of the class not YikYakTest
replace this line
let testObj = PFObject(className: "YikYakTest")
by
let testObj = PFObject(className: "BubbleTest")
your code should look like :
Note use saveInBackgroundWithBlock method so you could check if there is an error while saving
let testObj = PFObject(className: "BubbleTest")
let username = PFUser.currentUser()?.username
testObj["userName"] = username
testObj["textField"] = self.textField.text
testObj["Location"] = PFGeoPoint(latitude:currLocation.latitude , longitude: currLocation.longitude)
testObj["count"] = 0
testObj["replies"] = 0
testObj.saveInBackgroundWithBlock { (success:Bool, error :NSError?) -> Void in
if error == nil
{
print("detail is saved")
self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}
else
{
print("error")
}
}
when you are saving PFGeopoint coordinates save it into Location column not location
I know many developer friends of mine who ran into a similar issue. I myself had this problem as well, now resolved. So hopefully I can provide some insight from what I learned querying data from Parse:
Try changing the numberOfSectionsInTableView method to return 1 instead of 0 like so:
override func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return 1
}
You may need to also have some data structure to hold the users' posts (messages):
var userPosts:NSMutableArray! = NSMutableArray()
Also, your table view could then have as many rows as you will have posts stored in userPosts:
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView?, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return userPosts.count
}
In cellForRowAtIndexPath, replace this:
let object = PFObject(className: "BubbleTest")
WITH THIS:
let userPost : PFObject = self.posts.objectAtIndex(indexPath!.row) as! PFObject
...
cell.message.text = userPost.objectForKey("message") as! String
return cell
}
This will set the text of your custom cell's message property to whatever the user's message is (i.e.: "Testing 1 2").
Note: These steps aren't intended to be the only steps needed to solve your problem. It is meant to guide you in the right direction with some basic steps.
Hope that helps! :)
