Core Data with MagicalRecord does not save to iCloud

Question

I am using MagicalRecord in my project. It has been working fine so far with a SQLite store. But now I am trying to "upgrade" to iCloud to have sync between my iPhone and iPad versions.

But it is not working as I expected. The app still works the same - data is getting saved and read back, but it is not saved in iCloud as I would expect.

The only change I have made is in the MagicalRecord setup.

Before:

[MagicalRecordHelpers setupCoreDataStackWithAutoMigratingSqliteStoreNamed:@"hdhomerun.sqlite"];

After:

[MagicalRecordHelpers setupCoreDataStackWithiCloudContainer:@"AAAAAAAAAA.com.unpaq.hdhomerun" localStoreNamed:@"hdhomerun_local"];

The AAAAA's are not AAAAA's in the code, but my private ID from developer profile.

I can see in the output log that iCloud is detected and no errors occur. I also tried stepping through the code and it all looks fine.

What am I missing? Do I need to listen to some event? I have not been able to find an example of how to use MagicalRecord with iCloud.

The version of MagicalRecord is this one:

Answer 1

OK, I'll answer my own question.

MagicalRecord, at the point when I was using it, did not work with iCloud.

But it has recently been fixed by this commit: https://github.com/emrosenf/MagicalRecord/commit/8415276615d9a9e12db9c0207bae373b7397dd56

And now it is working fine.
