Can i use icloud data without coredata?

Question

I'm new in icloud.I'm searching about how to do this in the rigth way. But my questions is Do I have to implement core data to store documents on icluod? how can I do it? Does anyone have a good tutorial about icloud?

I have this code

-(NSString *)archivePathWithName:(NSString*) name {
NSArray *documentDirectories = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);

NSString *documentDirectory = [documentDirectories objectAtIndex:0];

return [documentDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:name];

}

then i save it like that

[NSKeyedArchiver archiveRootObject:items toFile:[self archivePathWithName:name]];

is that being saved at iCloud?

No, you don't have to use Core Data.

• You can use the key value store of an iCloud OR
• You can just save your files in your app's iCloud document folder and they'll be synchronized automatically

Core Data iCloud support only gives you incremental updating of a database across devices - which is very nice if you need it... Almost no delays :)
