Files not syncing to device correctly about iclouddocumentsync HOT 11 CLOSED

Same for me, I have an open conversation with Apple Technical Support, they say that "You have not changed anything in your project as far as code or entitlements. This is especially important because your app shoud not have to be modified to work with the new iCloud Drive accounts. You will continue to use the old ubiquity container identifier and that entitlement (it will just be located in a different URL on the server)."

This is not true in my case because I receive from

iCloudFilesDidChange:(NSMutableArray *)files withNewFileNames:(NSMutableArray *)fileNames

14 filenames but only 4 files
10 missing file are hidden on iCloud with .icloud extension and 0 bytes data.

I hope that someone can help us (because tomorrow iOS8 is going out .... )

I think I figured out the issue. I read the documentation and it says the files are synced to iCloud, and iCloud ONLY gives the metadata to the device. So this library is checking if the files are hidden, when the files are not even on the device, just the metadata was received. You have to download the file to the device into the iCloud directory using startDownloadingUbiquitousItemAtURL:error:. So Im going to try and add a method to do this automatically, but I have lots of schools o may be a week or longer before i can make a proper fork and add the support. but thats the method you will need to call to find the files on all devices. It only works when the files is uploaded to the cloud on a single device because that file was automatically moved to the iCloud folder, so thats why it is found. The documentation I read is https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documentation/General/Conceptual/iCloudDesignGuide/Chapters/DesigningForDocumentsIniCloud.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40012094-CH2-SW1 and explains it more.

Reading more, files are not downloaded automatically. so this should be checked for each iOS device and files should be downloaded locally. Its pretty hard to tell if the files are on device (from current testing), NSFileManager returns that they are not on device even after they are downloaded which is strange. Ill have it done in a few hours though!

Please le me know if you can make it work, I'm in office and I can look some code only this evening.
I've read the documentation, I agree with you, Apple changed the way iCloud files are pushed to devices, they are not pushed at all !! I tried some days ago to use startDownloadingUbiquitousItemAtURL:error: without success... i'll try again..

I pushed my fork to Github and created a pull request with the fix, #57

I finally got sync work but only with one iCloud account, after that and with other accounts, iCloud calls remains appended, I hope some Apple side problem... probably yesterday and today they are a little loaded because of the iOS8 release...

Before your fix, I could see the file created by the iPad that had generated and not from other ipad, despite having all the same cloud account.

Now, at last, are displayed on all ipad, any file of my cloud account. In this way I can also implement on my app saving the database allowing the user to restore it anywhere you like: a new ipad, the ipad maybe after the accidental deletion of the app or after a restore. Excellent work. Thanks so much!!
