Cloudkit error while querying open database from simulator

Question

I am working on an application where I recently decided to go with CloudKit, and now I am in the place where I need to implement the backend functionality. In short, this app will use collectionview to display images retrieved from the CK database. So far, I have simply dumped some images into a folder on my desktop and extracted / assorted images from there to display the collection. Then I used the CK toolbar to create some records and wrote an initialization method to try to restore them. I received various CKErrors, such as network failure, error completion without receiving a response from the server, could not send a valid signature, etc. I immediately decided that the problem was with my code, as this was my first attempt with CloudKit. However, I ran the latest code on my device before posting it to SO, and it worked! I received a successful response with the number of entries in the result array that I expected.

So now I know that you need more help extracting CKRecords, as I originally thought. But how to solve this problem using a simulator? I saw a few more messages stating that you logged into iCloud on the simulator. I believe that I, but do not know how to check, to be sure. In addition, I run Yosemite and Xcode 6.1.

Any help is appreciated!

Answer 1

To use your Apple ID in iCloud on iPhone Simulator, make sure you turn off two-way authentication. Then it should work on the simulator.

Answer 2

on the simulator, go to the settings application. You can do this using the menu at home, and then open the settings app, select iCloud and make sure you are logged in.
