iOS Storage Strategy

Acerca de

Navigate the complex landscape of Apple platform storage with a structured decision-making framework that spans local persistence and cloud synchronization. This skill helps developers choose the right format—ranging from SwiftData for structured records to FileManager for binary assets—while ensuring data is placed in the correct system directories to prevent data loss or backup bloat. It provides essential guidance on balancing modern APIs like CKSyncEngine with file protection requirements, making it an indispensable resource for architecting robust, efficient xOS applications.
