We are not currently using any APIs specifically for iCloud account switches. Our app’s data is managed entirely through Core Data, backed by NSPersistentCloudKitContainer for synchronization with iCloud. When my colleague checked the CloudKit Console after logging into their iCloud account, they did not see the custom zone we use to store Core Data records. This absence has us concerned about whether the data is still recoverable.
If the iCloud account is still active, should Core Data records managed via NSPersistentCloudKitContainer automatically sync back? Or does switching iCloud accounts result in the permanent deletion of associated Core Data records?
Our plan is to recommend that the user logs back into their original iCloud account, ensures that iCloud is enabled for our app, and opens the app to allow time for the data to sync back. Is this the correct approach for recovering the data, or are there additional steps we should take? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Edward
