I am new to CloudKit - and my test on the Mac (Swift, M1, Monterey, XCode 14 Beta 4) which creates records appears to be working. However, when I log into the CloudKit Console, using the same account as the iCloud account my Mac is logged into, no containers appear. I have tried this several times over 2 days, and no containers appear in the console. The container I am using appears in iCloud storage (via System Preferences > iCloud > Manage), so it appears to be there on iCloud.

Am I doing something wrong? What I want to do is query the data, which, I understand, you must use the Console to make it queryable. (It would be nice to be able to do this programmatically, but haven't found a way yet).

Thank you.

I figured it out, newbie that I am.

The account you sign into the console must be the developer account Xcode is using, NOT the icloud account your Mac is signed into (for example).
When you try to log into the console, there were (in my case), multiple accounts listed in the top right drop down. ONE of them was the developer account, which must be clicked on for things to work. This was not obvious to me when I first tried to get things to work, which was why I asked the question!
