Hi Nick, I've implemented by own sync that works the same as Notes but it requires using the private CKReferenceActionValidate. Could you help make that public? Cheers See https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/652267 and FB6114162 - 4 Jun 2019

I enjoyed the video thanks. At 6mins when David said "You don't need to do anything else and your data will be indexed in Spotlight.". What immediately came to mind was what about cleaning up the persistent history? I had a brief look at the docs and noticed that indexDidUpdateNotification includes NSPersistentHistoryTokenKey should we listen for that and then purge the history? And what if we have multiple components requiring use of the persistent history? Is there a recommended strategy for deleting only the history not required by the Spotlight indexer and other components?

At 21:40 in the video the following code is shown: (sorry for the screenshot but this talk doesn't have code copy enabled) Luca points out this results in new view and storage every time dayTime changes. Say you wanted to fix it so it doesn't create a new view and storage every time, how would you do that? Like this maybe? var body: some View { let cr = CatRecorder() if dayTime { return cr.nightTimeStyle() } else { return cr } } But this code doesn't look very declarative. I've seen many struggle with applying modifiers conditionally (especially .hidden()) so thought I'd ask.

I noticed something in the Structure your app for SwiftUI previews video, at 15:56 he says: "And now we can tell SwiftUI to format the text for this name at exactly the right time. This is as easy as defining a formatter..." https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2020/10149/?time=950 var body: some View { 		let formatter = PersonNameComponentsFormatter() 		formatter.style = .long 		Text("\(name, formatter: formatter)") } It seems to me that this is not that easy for 2 reasons. I was under the impression we are not supposed to create reference types like a formatter object in the view body, or anywhere in the View that is not property wrapped. Supposedly it causes a heap allocation and slows down SwiftUI's updates. Maybe Swift has been improved to now allocate reference types on the stack instead of the heap and this is now OK? Given that PersonNameFormatter is dependent on the locale, surely if the locale is changed then the View body will not be recomputed because the View is not detecting a change. Is the Text View doing its own observing of the locale changes? If 1 is ok should the View simply subscribe to the locale changing some how? How would that be done? Or should we make an ObservableObject for the formatter? It can track the locale did change notification and set a new formatter as a @Published property. Use @StateObject in the View for this object so SwiftUI will know to recompute the body when there is a new formatter after a locale change so the person's name can be re-formatted. Or is my guess at 3 correct that Text handles the locale change for us?

The video discusses limits to background pushes. I'm unable to finish developing my app that uses NSPersistentCloudKitContainer on iOS 14 because I believe background push notifications are being limited by the system so I am unable to test how the app behaves when it is suspended and a background push arrives. In fact I cannot get any background pushes to arrive at all, however pushes do arrive when the app is running in the foreground. Is there perhaps a development entitlement or launch param to override all limits so I can finish my app? And if not, can this feature be added please?

I created a UIListContentConfiguration, set the initial text and set it on the cell. Then I updated the text and was expecting the cell to show the new text and sadly that didn't happen. Here is some sample code: (void)configureCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell withEvent:(Event *)event { 		UIListContentConfiguration *content = cell.defaultContentConfiguration; 		content.text = event.timestamp.description; 		cell.contentConfiguration = content; 		 		[self performSelector:@selector(updateTest:) withObject:content afterDelay:3]; } (void)updateTest:(UIListContentConfiguration *)content{ 		content.text = @"Updated text"; } Then I noticed that cell.contentConfiguration is a copy property type. Perhaps the API could be improved to change it to a strong property type, and have the cell do KVO on the configuration's text so we can update afterwards and the cell will automatically update to the new text. The same way as how MKAnnotation and MKAnnotationView works for its coordinate, title and subtitle.

Please explain how and when the state should be transferred from split VC to tab controller when traits change from regular to compact. Please also consider then the middle “supplementary” column is in use. Please confirm we should no longer use adaptivity API given any showing alert or popover would likely be lost or should those also be in the state? Sample code of the relevant parts of the Shortcuts app would be very useful as this is a very difficult design pattern and it seems it is essential for cross platform apps targeting iPhone/iPad/Catalyst.
