SOLVED: Cloud Kit and Storing Data

	@clc80 HWS+ May '20 I want to build an app that uses Cloud Kit to sync data between a users devices. Do I also have to use CoreData to store the data? Or is having it on the cloud enough? 3
	@nemecek-filip May '20 You can use just CloudKit but in case user is offline they wont see anything. So you would likely need some sort of caching mechanism. With Core Data you could try https://developer.apple.com/wwdc19/202 Looks like you could just slightly modify how Core Data is set up to get iCloud sync "for free" but I havent tried it yet and dunno how seamless this is. 4
	@NigelGee HWS+ May '20 You can look at Integrating CloudKit with Core Date in SwiftUI to share data across devices. If you want to do in SwiftUI 5
	@multitudes May '20 The Apple WWDC talk about CloudKit and CoreData is super advanced. I could not understand much of it. If you are starting out the second link by @NigelGee pointing to the SchwiftyUI video is quite good, and it doesnt matter if it is SwiftUI because CloudKit is still a separate framework, so it will be kinda of same to connect to the APIs. 4
