THE BEST PRACTICES • Refer WWDC videos • Custom Zones >>>>> Default Zones • CKSubscriptions be smart about using them • CKQueryCursor • Make bulk uploads • Listen to the errors, they are extremely handy • Write a wrapper over CloudKit api’s so you can easily replace it • Do not perform nested CloudKit calls • CloudKit should be called minimal times, always store the data offline

THINGS I HATE ABOUT CLOUDKIT • The checkbox option, does not allow you to customise • Missing out on android • CloudKit Dashboard gives no analytics
