The problem The problem I want to solve is in our app (3DPIPO), we have right now 500MB+ 3D model assets. One 3D model takes from 5MB to 10MB based on the texture and resolution of the model. Each Model is around 5~10MB. 

In first version Cache is good 

The Podcast Everyone needs some motiviation. After hearing Ray Wanderlich's podcast, I tried CloudKit this morning using defaut sample. As version 2.0 (2014-0-13) https://developer.apple.com/library/ prerelease/ios/samplecode/CloudAtlas/ Introduction/Intro.html#//apple_ref/doc/ uid/TP40014599 

The Setup I can set up with only a few catch like creating application specific Record Type like ReferenceItems and ReferenceSubitems. Looks like other Record Type are created automatically but not these two. ReferenceItems has attribute name as String ReferenceSubitem has attribute parent as Reference, and name as String 

The Catch For Photos and Users record types, you have to create a bogy attribute to make the queriable in PUBLIC DATA. 

The result In the end my iCloud dashboard looks like Items (2 attributes, location as Location, and name as String) Photos (2 attributes, photo as Asset, bogy as Queriable) User (1 attributes, boggy as Queriable) Now you can head to User Records and Default Zone in PUBLIC DATA The rest of the problem is data versioning.

Reference Designing for CloudKit The problem now is the Data Transfer quota. The 25MB/day for assets worries me. Ray Wenderlich's Beginning CloudKit CKAssets Sample Code Cloud Captions
