Trouble Shooting

Is there an article about using this library?​

Yeah, I wrote an article here about using iCloud to backup your realm database.

Why my folder and files not visible in iCloud drive folder?​

  1. make sure your NSUbiquitousContainers config in Info.plist is correct
  2. make sure your path passed to API includes 'Documents', for example '/path-to-icloud-container/Documents/myCustomContent' but not '/path-to-icloud-container/myCustomContent'
  3. if above are correct, try to bump your build version in XCode/Info.plist and rebuild

What is .xxx.icloud file?​

When reading iCloud dir, you would find files named like .xxx.icloud, this format means the file has not downloaded to your local device, it's currently stored on iCloud drive. You can call download to download it, after downloaded, re-call readDir and you will find .xxx.icloud become into xxx, then you can use such as react-native-fs to copy it from iCloud container to your app's documents folder.

Backup progress hangs and cannot reach to 100%​

You should test the icloud backup on the physical device, simulator environment is not reliable.
