Hey everyone!

I'm starting a new Multiplatform application with Core Data and CloudKit checked off. Before continuing I want to make sure the data is persisting between devices BUT can't figure out how to test that with the simulator. I can run the app on my Mac (under my apple account), can't run it on my phone (didn't download the beta), and when I try to log into the simulator with my Apple ID it gives me a "Verification Failed - An unknown error occurred". How do you test synced data between simulated devices???

So I just ran an app that has CloudKit on my iPhone and iPad to text if what I heard, which was that you needed to be part of the Apple developer program to use CloudKit, was true. And the data that I inputted on my phone was not going to my iPad. So if you pay $100 annually, which isn’t a bad investment if you plan on doing this for a while and getting in bested, for the Apple development program.

I've gotten my iPad hooked up so I have two devices to test with (macOS and iPad). That said I'm still curious to know whether I can log into a simulator (either with my own Apple ID or a dummy one - how to create?) so I can test through my computer or try it on other simulated devices I don't own.
