How can I use iCloud Sync if I'm not using Core Data?

Question

I've seen a few examples showing how to integrate iCloud with Core Data, but my app uses a handwritten SQLite persistence layer.

Am I just out of luck, or are there straightforward ways to do syncing and conflict resolution over iCloud with a non-Core Data database?

Answer 1

"Straightforward" might not be the first word that comes to mind, but you can definitely use iCloud storage in non-Core Data apps. You'll need to manage your storage engine, conflict resolutions, and data presentation yourself, however; you don't get the "easy" merging and resolution that Core Data gets you.

Read up on the iCloud Storage guide for detailed info. There's a good checklist a little way down that guides you through setting up document-based storage in your app.
