Fetch records with CloudKit in Swift - ios

i try to fetch records with CloudKit. I use the example from Apple.
I can save records but i can't get them..
Here's the code to fetch the records saved :
func fetchRecords(completionHandler: ((NSArray!) -> Void)!) {
var predicate = NSPredicate(value: true)
var query = CKQuery(recordType: "type", predicate: predicate)
/*self.publicDatabase.performQuery(query, inZoneWithID: nil, { (results:[AnyObject]!, error:NSError!) -> Void in
if (error){
println("An error occured in \(NSStringFromSelector(__FUNCTION__)) \(error)");
} else {
completionHandler(results)
}
})*/
var operation = CKQueryOperation(query: query)
var results = NSMutableArray()
operation.recordFetchedBlock = { (record:CKRecord!) -> Void in
results.addObject(record)
}
operation.queryCompletionBlock = { (cursor:CKQueryCursor!, error:NSError!) -> Void in
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), { () -> Void in
if (error) {
// Error Code 11 - Unknown Item: did not find required record type
if (error.code == 11) {
// Since schema is missing, create the schema with demo records and return results
}
else {
// In your app, this error needs love and care.
println("An error occured in \(NSStringFromSelector(__FUNCTION__)): \(error)");
abort();
}
} else {
completionHandler(results)
}
})
}
self.publicDatabase.addOperation(operation)
}
When i run this the "abort()" is called and i get this in the console :
An error occured in fetchRecords:
Thanks for helping guys.

I think the problem is with the way you are creating your predicate. The column/attribute that you want to query on is not specified.
Instead of:
var predicate = NSPredicate(value: true)
you should do something along the lines of:
var predicate = NSPredicate(format: "someColumn == true")

Try replacing
if (error)
with
if (error != nil)

Records, Zone doesn't displayed in Dashboard and Delete Zone issue CloudKit

I have created a zone for privateCloudDatabase.
static var privateCloudDatabase: CKDatabase {
let container = CKContainer(identifier: "iCloud.<bundle>")
return container.privateCloudDatabase
}
static func createZone() {
let fetchZonesOperation = CKFetchRecordZonesOperation.fetchAllRecordZonesOperation()
fetchZonesOperation.fetchRecordZonesCompletionBlock = {
(recordZones: [CKRecordZone.ID : CKRecordZone]?, error: Error?) -> Void in
guard error == nil else {
return
}
for recordID in recordZones.keys {
if recordID.zoneName == zoneName {
print("Zone Already Created: \(recordID)")
} else if recordID.zoneName == "_defaultZone" {
print("Deafult Zone")
} else {
let customZone = CKRecordZone(zoneName: zoneName)
privateCloudDatabase.save(customZone) { zone, error in
if let error = error{
print("Zone creation error: \(String(describing: error))")
} else {
print("Zone created: \(String(describing: zone?.zoneID.zoneName))")
}
}
}
}
}
fetchZonesOperation.qualityOfService = .utility
privateCloudDatabase.add(fetchZonesOperation)
}
It works successfully and I got a success message but created Zone doesn't display in CloudKit Dashboard. It only shows the _default zone as of now.
The other issue is related to delete all data from Zone. For that, I used below code
let fetchZonesOperation = CKFetchRecordZonesOperation.fetchAllRecordZonesOperation()
fetchZonesOperation.fetchRecordZonesCompletionBlock = {
(recordZones: [CKRecordZone.ID : CKRecordZone]?, error: Error?) -> Void in
guard error == nil else {
return
}
guard let recordZones = recordZones else { return }
let deletionOperation = CKModifyRecordZonesOperation(recordZonesToSave: nil, recordZoneIDsToDelete: recordZones.keys.map { $0 })
deletionOperation.modifyRecordZonesCompletionBlock = { _, deletedZones, error in
guard error == nil else {
let error = error!
print("Error deleting records.", error)
return
}
print("Records successfully deleted in this zone.")
}
}
fetchZonesOperation.qualityOfService = .userInitiated
privateCloudDatabase.add(fetchZonesOperation)
Here I neither get any success message not get any error message. The other method I tried to delete all data from the zone is
let customZone = CKRecordZone(zoneName: zoneName)
let predicate = NSPredicate(value: true)
let query = CKQuery(recordType: recordType, predicate: predicate)
privateCloudDatabase.perform(query, inZoneWith: customZone.zoneID) { (records, error) in
if error == nil {
for record in records! {
removeRecord(record.recordID.recordName) { record, error in
}
}
}
}
Here, I get the success message but when I am trying to fetch data from the zone, I get all entries and that suggests data aren't deleted using any of the above methods. Any suggestions for these queries?
Whenever I have run into inexplicable errors and the absence of data updates in CloudKit, it was usually because of something silly like:
A typo in the container identifier so it was interacting with the wrong database on CloudKit.
The account on my Apple device that I was using was different than the account I was signing into in the CloudKit Dashboard.
Have you checked the CloudKit logs to confirm that these actions are hitting your database?

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 do I query and obtain data from CloudKit?

I am fairly new to Swift, and just started learning about CloudKit this week for an iOS app project.
The database is working, I can add records and find records in the database.
I have run into a problem sending a query to CloudKit and accessing the data related to the query.
The CloudKit data has unique identifiers, so the search is for one of those identifiers (so a query should only return one record). I am then trying to obtain three pieces of information from that record - "UPC", "foodName", and "Ingredients" (all strings)
Here is the code section that executes the query and tries to obtain the data.
let publicDatabase = CKContainer.defaultContainer().publicCloudDatabase
let predicate = NSPredicate(format: "UPC = %#", subStr)
let query = CKQuery(recordType: "Food", predicate: predicate)
publicDatabase.performQuery(query, inZoneWithID: nil,
completionHandler: ({results, error in
if (error != nil) {
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
print("CloudKit Error")
}
} else {
if results!.count > 0 {
var record = results as! CKRecord
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
print("UPC Found")
let cloudUPC = record.objectForKey("UPC") as! CKAsset
print("UPC from CloudKit \(cloudUPC)")
}
} else {
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
print("UPC Not Found")
}
}
}
}))
The crash occurs at this point
var record = results as! CKRecord
and returns "EXC_Breakpoint(code = 1, subcode - 0x10047b7c)
Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?
Thanks
Thank you for the suggestion rmaddy.
This is how I fixed the code
let publicDatabase = CKContainer.defaultContainer().publicCloudDatabase
let predicate = NSPredicate(format: "UPC = %#", subStr)
let query = CKQuery(recordType: "Food", predicate: predicate)
publicDatabase.performQuery(query, inZoneWithID: nil,
completionHandler: ({results, error in
if (error != nil) {
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
print("Cloud Error")
}
} else {
if results!.count > 0 {
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
for entry in results! {
let cloudUPC = entry["UPC"] as? String
print("UPC from CloudKit \(cloudUPC)")
let cloudFoodName = entry["foodName"] as? String
print("Name from CloudKit \(cloudFoodName)")
let cloudIngredients = entry["Ingredients"] as? String
print("Ingredients from CloudKit \(cloudIngredients)")
}
} else {
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
print("UPC Not Found")
}
}
}
}))
you need to first to write for loop on items in record then print each UPC
like that :
for item in record {
print(item["UPC"]
print(item["foodName"]
}

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()
}
}
})
}
