CloudKit - Taking Your App into the Cloud

In iOS 8 and 9, Apple has continued to make CloudKit easier to use and more functional. CloudKit can serve as a data store for your application's data, including normally static meta data. Why meta data? Having your app use CloudKit for meta data enables you to change your app's operations AFTER it's in the App Store, without having to resubmit changes. This enables you to respond to market changes or security issues - fast!

This presentation starts with CloudKit basics - how to store application data in the Cloud (using a simple sample Swift app) and then how to alter your app's operation via CloudKit by placing meta data in the Cloud.
