Can you, in Swift get a change notification when a document in the apps's iCloud Drive container changes? For example I am testing a simple concept where I am storing all app data as a json string in the app's iCloud Drive container and I am loading it when the app launches. I can retrieve and save the json string on demand on multiple devices, but I am wondering if there is a way to get a change notification sent to an app when the file is changed on another device. If so, some direction would be appreciated.

If you are using UIDocument, you can register for UIDocumentStateChangedNotification (for a particular document), otherwise if you are looking for changes in the App's iCloud container you need to use NSMetaDataQuery which is described in Discovering an App's Documents in Document-Based App Programming Guide for iOS
