I'm developing iOS app which is using CloudKit. I'm pretty clear how to download/upload data from cloud when requested on the device. It works just fine when internet connection is present. I'm thinking to allow users to access their data offline also. After brief research I discovered that CoreData integration with iCloud was depreciated as of recent Xcode release. I found some third party pods on github which let you handle this problem by syncing core data from device to iCloud. I'm a bit skeptical using those plugins due to possible data loss or other issues. Is the idea behind depreciating CloudKit to move away from offline storage? Im thinking now what to do... should I attempt to create some sort of sync between core data and iCloud or not use core data at all and just let users to access data only when online connection available. Such approach would save device storage but restrict data access to online only. Any recommendations ?
