Enabling iCloud Storage
To enable your app to use iCloud document or key-value storage, set values for the appropriate entitlements using Xcode.
iCloud Entitlement Keys
The following table describes the entitlement keys that you set values for to enable iCloud storage:
Enabling iCloud Document Storage
To support iCloud storage of user documents, use the iCloud Containers setting in the Xcode target editor.
As the value for this entitlement, provide an array of one or more strings. One of these strings must be the bundle identifier for your app, or for another app that you submit using the same team identifier. In the .entitlements
file, this string has the following form:
$(TeamIdentifierPrefix)com.mycompany.myapplication |
If you are using the graphical interface of the Xcode target editor to provide a value for the iCloud container entitlement, there is no need to include the $(TeamIdentifierPrefix)
variable. Xcode supplies the prefix in the .entitlements
file automatically.
If you want to confer access to documents created by other apps published by your team, use additional strings to specify the bundle identifiers of those apps.
You must not use a wildcard (“*
”) character in the string for an iCloud container entitlement value.

Enabling iCloud Key-Value Storage
To support iCloud storage of key-value information for your app, use the iCloud Key-Value Store setting in the Xcode target editor.
As the value for this entitlement key, provide the bundle identifier for your app, such as:
$(TeamIdentifierPrefix)com.mycompany.myapplication |
If you are using the graphical interface of the target editor to provide a value for the iCloud key-value store entitlement, there is no need to include the $(TeamIdentifierPrefix)
variable. Xcode supplies the prefix in the .entitlements
file automatically.
