CloudKit: switch container environment from Development to Production

Question

I'm building a test tool to verify content in CloudKit, but I want to be able to select the container's environment.

On iOS, you can select either the "Development" or the "Production" environment when you export your app for ad hoc testing, but you don't have that option on OS X. It always points to the "Development" environment.

Anyone knows, if there is a programmatically way to set or select what container environment you want to work with, either on OS X or iOS?

Answer 1

In the entitlements file, add in the row of com.apple.developer.icloud-container-environment and you can switch the value of that back and forth between Development and Production.

Answer 2

I know this might be a bit late for those who posted but for others with the same problem, in the entitlement file change the com.apple.developer.icloud-container-environmentfrom Development to Production Then delete your app from your device so you get a clean build. When you run it, it should work. The key is to have a clean build.
