Summary

This chapter introduced iCloud and its ability to manage ubiquitous data. In it, you discovered the basics of how to integrate its features in your own applications. You saw how to create new provisions and entitlements, learned what’s going on under the hood, and discovered how to integrate iCloud access into your applications. Here are a few final thoughts to take with you:

• Once you hand over control to a UIDocument subclass, there’s little you need to do other than to save your changes and update your undo manager on a regular basis.

• While accepting the most recently saved item is a really easy way to go with conflict resolution, it’s not necessarily the best way. Role-play how your application might be used in the real world, with all kinds of possible conflicts, and design your resolution strategy around that.
