How to download multiple records from cloudkit - ios

I am trying to download multiple items from cloud kit but I'm getting the error "cannot assign type value (CKQueryCursor!, NSError) -> () to type (CKQueryCursor?, NSError?) -> void"
let locationToLookFor = CLLocation()
let predicate = NSPredicate(format: "location = %#", locationToLookFor as CLLocation)
let query = CKQuery(recordType: "Location", predicate: predicate)
let operation = CKQueryOperation(query: query)
operation.recordFetchedBlock = self.recordFetchBlock
operation.queryCompletionBlock =
{
[weak self]
(cursor: CKQueryCursor!, error: NSError) in
if(cursor != nil)
{
print("Fetching records")
let newOperation = CKQueryOperation(cursor: cursor)
operation.recordFetchedBlock = recordFetchBlock
operation.queryCompletionBlock = operation.queryCompletionBlock
self!.operationQueue.addOperation(newOperation)
}
else {
print("We have fetched all data")
}
}
operationQueue.addOperation(operation)

Your closure signature doesn't match the required signature. As shown in the error message, cursor should be optional as should error. You will also get an error because you don't unwrap cursor when you supply it to the new operation.
Try:
operation.queryCompletionBlock =
{
[weak self]
(cursor: CKQueryCursor?, error: NSError?) -> Void in
if let cursor = cursor
{
print("Fetching records")
let newOperation = CKQueryOperation(cursor: cursor)
operation.recordFetchedBlock = recordFetchBlock
operation.queryCompletionBlock = operation.queryCompletionBlock
self?.operationQueue.addOperation(newOperation)
}
else {
print("We have fetched all data")
}
}

Fetch only specific fields in cloudkit?

I want to fetch only Song_Name field in Musics records in CloudKit. I'm trying below code but It still fetches all the fields in Music record. I think I need to compile operation with publicDB.add(operation) method but It doesn't allow me to declare ¨results¨ as I do now with publicDB.perform(query, in....)
let predicate = NSPredicate(value: true)
let query = CKQuery(recordType: "Musics", predicate: predicate)
let operation = CKQueryOperation(query: query)
operation.desiredKeys = ["Song_Name"]
publicDB.perform(query, inZoneWith: nil) { [unowned self] results, error in
guard error == nil else {
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self.delegate?.errorUpdating(error! as NSError)
print("Cloud Query Error - Refresh: \(error)")
}
return
}
self.items_music.removeAll(keepingCapacity: true)
for record in results! {
let music = Musics(record: record, database: self.publicDB)
self.items_music.append(music)
}
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self.delegate?.modelUpdated()
}
}
}
You are creating a CKQueryOperation and setting the operation's desiredKeys property, but then you are not using this operation. You simply perform a query against the database, so none of the query operation's properties will be used.
You need to assign a record fetched block and query completion block to your operation and then add the operation to the database to actually run it.
let predicate = NSPredicate(value: true)
let query = CKQuery(recordType: "Musics", predicate: predicate)
let operation = CKQueryOperation(query: query)
operation.desiredKeys = ["Song_Name"]
var newItems = [Musics]()
operation.queryCompletionBlock = ( { (cursor, error)->Void in
guard error == nil else {
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self.delegate?.errorUpdating(error! as NSError)
print("Cloud Query Error - Refresh: \(error)")
}
return
}
self.items_music = newItems
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self.delegate?.modelUpdated()
}
})
operation.recordFetchedBlock = ( { (record) -> Void in
let music = Musics(record: record, database: self.publicDB)
newItems.append(music)
})
publicDB.add(operation)
I have omitted some code that you will need that checks the cursor provided to the completion block. If this isn't nil then you need to issue another query to fetch additional items

Can't fetch userCKRecordID with Swift

I am getting the error: "Value of type 'CKDatabase' has no member 'fetchUserRecordIDWithCompletionHandler'." Was it taken out of the newest version of Xcode or swift 3?
func fetchUserRecords()
{
let publicDB = CKContainer.default().publicCloudDatabase
publicDB.fetchUserRecordIDWithCompletionHandler { (userID, error) -> Void in
if let userID = userID {
let reference = CKReference(recordID: userID, action: .None)
let predicate = NSPredicate(format: "creatorUserRecordID == %#", reference)
let query = CKQuery(recordType: "Location", predicate: predicate)
CKContainer.default().publicCloudDatabase.perform(query, inZoneWith: nil){
(records, error) in
if error != nil {
print("error fetching user records: \(error)")
completion(error as NSError?, nil)
} else {
print("found user records")
completion(nil, records)
guard let records = records else {
return
}
for record in records
{
//delete records
}
}
}
}
}
}
Swift 3 changes the names of lots of function calls. The new function signature is
func fetchUserRecordID(completionHandler: #escaping (CKRecordID?, Error?) -> Void)
EDIT:
rmaddy reports that the function is a function of CKContainer, not CKDatabase.

How to use query to fetch cloudkit data in swift

I am trying to have all the users' locations stored in cloudkit, then downloaded by each device. I marked on the code in storeLocation where I get the error:
"Cannot convert value of type '(NSError?, [CKRecord]?)' (aka '(Optional, Optional>)') to expected argument type '(error: NSError?, records: [CKRecord]?) -> Void'"
//saves location in cloud kit //currently works well:
var locArray = [CKRecord]()
func storeLocation(location:CLLocation) {
let locationRecord = CKRecord(recordType: "location")
locationRecord.setObject(location, forKey: "location")
let publicData = CKContainer.defaultContainer().publicCloudDatabase
publicData.saveRecord(locationRecord) { (records, error) in
if error != nil {
print("error saving locations: \(error)")
} else {
print("Locations saved: \(records)")
loadLocation((error, self.locArray)) //where I get error******
}
}
}
//fetches location from cloud kit:
func loadLocation(completion: (error:NSError?, records:[CKRecord]?) -> Void)
{
let query = CKQuery(recordType: "Location", predicate: NSPredicate(value: true))
CKContainer.defaultContainer().publicCloudDatabase.performQuery(query, inZoneWithID: nil){
(records, error) in
if error != nil {
print("error fetching locations")
completion(error: error, records: nil)
} else {
print("found locations: \(records)")
completion(error: nil, records: records)
}
}
}
I believe instead of:
loadLocation((error, self.locArray))
You need to call this:
loadLocation() { (error, records) in
// do something here with the returned data.
}

CloudKit private database returns first 100 CKRecords

i am facing this kind of problem working with CloudKit. Trying to fetch all data from "Data" record. Result is limited by 100. How to get all data? Please, thank for any advice.
func getAllDataFromCloudKit(){
let predicate = NSPredicate(value: true)
let container = CKContainer.defaultContainer()
let privateDatabase = container.privateCloudDatabase
let query = CKQuery(recordType: "Data", predicate: predicate)
privateDatabase.performQuery(query, inZoneWithID: nil) { results, error in
if error != nil {
print(error)
}
else {
for result in results! {
// return only 100 first
}
}
}
}
P.S. i found one similar question, still not clear or answer is too old and does not work with the new Swift version
EDIT: See my final solution how to get all data from private database below:
Ok, i found a solution. See below:
func loadDataFromCloudKit() {
var results: [AnyObject] = []
let cloudContainer = CKContainer.defaultContainer()
let privateDatabase = cloudContainer.privateCloudDatabase
let predicate = NSPredicate(value: true)
let query = CKQuery(recordType: "Data", predicate: predicate)
query.sortDescriptors = [NSSortDescriptor(key: "creationDate", ascending: true)]
let queryOperation = CKQueryOperation(query: query)
queryOperation.desiredKeys = ["id","name"]
queryOperation.queuePriority = .VeryHigh
// Max limit is still 100
queryOperation.resultsLimit = 100
queryOperation.recordFetchedBlock = { (record:CKRecord!) -> Void in
results.append(record)
}
queryOperation.queryCompletionBlock = { (cursor, error) in
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
if (error != nil) {
print("Failed to get data from iCloud - \(error!.localizedDescription)")
} else {
print("Successfully retrieve the data form iCloud")
}
}
// see cursor here, if it is nil than you have no more records
// if it has a value than you have more records to get
if cursor != nil {
print("there is more data to fetch")
let newOperation = CKQueryOperation(cursor: cursor!)
newOperation.recordFetchedBlock = { (record:CKRecord!) -> Void in
results.append(record)
}
newOperation.queryCompletionBlock = queryOperation.queryCompletionBlock
privateDatabase.addOperation(newOperation)
} else {
// gets more then 100
print(results.count)
}
}
privateDatabase.addOperation(queryOperation)
}
Kevin,
You use the cursor returned by CKQueryOperation; it is very much a standard approach in the world of databases; I know some dropbox operations use the same approach for example. Here is the basic code for a CKQueryOperation.
func query4Cloud(theLink: String, theCount: Int) {
var starCount:Int = 0
let container = CKContainer(identifier: "iCloud.ch")
let publicDB = container.publicCloudDatabase
let singleLink2LinkthemALL = CKRecordID(recordName: theLink)
let recordToMatch = CKReference(recordID: singleLink2LinkthemALL, action: .DeleteSelf)
let predicate = NSPredicate(format:"theLink == %#", recordToMatch)
let query = CKQuery(recordType: "Files", predicate: predicate)
// You run the query operation replacing query with your cursor
readerOperation = CKQueryOperation(query: query)
readerOperation.desiredKeys = ["record.recordID.recordName"];
readerOperation.recordFetchedBlock = { (record) in
starCount += 1
}
// see cursor here, if it is nil than you have no more records
// if it has a value than you have more records to get
readerOperation.queryCompletionBlock = {(cursor, error) in
print("fcuk query4Cloud \(theLink) \(theCount) \(starCount)" )
if error != nil {
self.showAlert(message: error!.localizedDescription)
print("ting, busted")
} else {
// it's done
}
}
print("publicDB.addOperation(operation)")
readerOperation.qualityOfService = .Background
publicDB.addOperation(readerOperation)
}

CloudKit saveRecord Complete

I am using the code below to update a record. Once the record has been updated I would like to run my refresh function. At the moment the refresh function is sometimes called before the record has been updated so the refresh results are the same as before the record was updated.
Thanks
var tempDocumentsArray:NSArray!
let recordID = CKRecordID(recordName: "layerAbove")
var predicate = NSPredicate(format: "recordID = %#", recordID)
let query = CKQuery(recordType: "Layers", predicate: predicate)
self.publicDB.performQuery(query, inZoneWithID: nil) { (results, error) -> Void in
tempDocumentsArray = results
print("Results are: \(tempDocumentsArray)")
let record = tempDocumentsArray[0] as! CKRecord
var layerAbovePrevPos = record.objectForKey("layerNumber") as! Int
layerAbovePrevPos = layerAbovePrevPos - 1
let nlnChanged = record.setObject(layerAbovePrevPos, forKey: "layerNumber")
self.publicDB.saveRecord(record, completionHandler: { (returnRecord, error) -> Void in
if let err = error {
print("Error: \(err.localizedDescription)")
} else {
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
print("Success")
//TODO:This is sometimes called before the save is complete!
self.resetAndGet()
}
}
})
}
