Short version (TLDR): What are the general steps to integrate Ensembles into an app that is already set up to sync CoreData with iCloud via iCloud Drive? I am confused how I will be using Ensembles to facilitate the sync process.
Long Version: I'm a newbie programmer and I've hit a major wall with iCloud / CoreData syncing (seen here iOS 9 CoreData / ICloud - No such document at URL).
My app works perfectly with the exception of cloud syncing. Everything is configured properly to sync with icloud drive - and it works 99% of the time - but I get errors that break my app randomly and they come from apple's side of the code ("Librarian returned a serious error...").
All of my data is in coredata (sqlite) and my app is programmed in Swift 2.
Ensembles seems to be an option that will help solve my problem. However, I am at a complete loss of how to integrate it into my project. I am completely overwhelmed by the process of breaking apart my entire app. Can anyone offer some guidance of the steps I need to take? The manual and github readme are very in depth, but I am losing track of what I have to do. Overwhelming :(
In case it helps, below is my AppDelegate file, where I'm hoping all the work would need to be done...
//MARK: General

dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(Int(QOS_CLASS_USER_INITIATED.rawValue), 0)) {
if(background != nil){ background!(); }
let popTime = dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, Int64(delay * Double(NSEC_PER_SEC)))
dispatch_after(popTime, dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
if(completion != nil){ completion!(); }
}
}
}

// Sent when the application is about to move from active to inactive state. This can occur for certain types of temporary interruptions (such as an incoming phone call or SMS message) or when the user quits the application and it begins the transition to the background state.
// Use this method to pause ongoing tasks, disable timers, and throttle down OpenGL ES frame rates. Games should use this method to pause the game.
}

// Use this method to release shared resources, save user data, invalidate timers, and store enough application state information to restore your application to its current state in case it is terminated later.
