I am trying to use iCloud with my iOS app. I have the app working on the individual devices but when I added iCloud nothing happened. I have looked all over the web and have found only one example which I did not understand. My app is iOS 5.0 and use core data to store the pages. Below is my app delegate and my view which I display it in. Sorry for the lack of knowledge when it comes to iPhone dev. Please help. http://goddess-gate.com/dc2/index.php/post/452
thank you
If anyone know/has a full working project of iCloud+CoreData I belive I can figure it out. Right now I just have code snip it's which I don't even know how they get called... If I have a full project I can step through it, so I can fully understand how it works.
The problem is I don't think anything is being called to update the view with the data and I don't belive it is sending it to the cloud but I don't know what to call...
