I have a couple of questions regarding iCloud in iOS8.

  1. I am going through my developer profile and the iCloud container that was associated with my profile has been changed from my ${TeamIdentifer}{Bundle Name} to iCloud.{Bundle Name} . Currently, my application is running only in iOS7 devices. So, if I use this iCloud.{Bundle Name} container, then would the content present in ${TeamIdentifier}.{Bundle Name} be copied to the new container for users ?

  2. Also, I am using xCode 6 beta 6 and it is not recognizing my ${TeamIdentifier}.{Bundle Name} iCloud container. It is most probably because of my developer profile. I am planning to deploy the application for both iOS7 and iOS8. So, is there any way to change the iCloud container to ${TeamIdentifier}.{Bundle Name} ?

  1. No one know for sure for now, I am currently will keep using the old style since it seems to work on iOS 8
  2. You can change it on entitlements.plist file see here https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Miscellaneous/Reference/EntitlementKeyReference/Chapters/AboutEntitlements.html

  • I tried doing that. However, it is still not recognizing my old container. In my developer profile, only the "iCloud." container is listed (maybe Apple changed that) and I am unable to add a container which does not begin with "iCloud". So, is there any way to associate the old container ? – Max Sep 02 '14 at 22:52
  • weird, mine shows both. Is your app new (created using only xcode 6 beta)? – Aditya Wirayudha Sep 03 '14 at 02:18
  • nope. It has been present in AppStore for about a year now. – Max Sep 03 '14 at 03:44

    I have the same problem as @Max. Xcode forces you to use iCloud as prefix for iCloud container. When I use the new iCloud identifier, my app cannot access the iCloud documents that were saves using the old container with the TeamIdentifier as the prefix – RawMean Jan 18 '15 at 23:22
