i'm having a very hard issue to solve. I've got this scenario:
My app uses CoreData to storing objects, I want to implement iCloud sync between devices... and my app requires an initial populated database.
The first time I launch my app, it's going to populate my database on the cloud and marks to YES some db'fields as "databaseInstalled". These fields are synced in the cloud too.
Now when another device launch the app for the first time, I was hoping to retrieve the field "databaseInstalled" to check whether inject or not some data but it's wrong...
If databaseInstalled is false, we inject data, if databaseInstalled it's true, we wait for iCloud sync.
The problem is that I retrieve the persistentStoreCoordinator asynchronically because of I don't want to block the app that is waiting to download data from iCloud...
So how can I know a priori if i need to populate the database or it has been filled on another device and I've just to download from iCloud the populated one?
