```

## Parameters

- `metadata`: An array of share metadata. For more information, see doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/CloudKit/CKShare/Metadata.
- `persistentStore`: The persistent store that provides the CloudKit container’s identifier. The store must have the doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/CloudKit/CKDatabase/Scope/shared database scope.

## Discussion

Discussion The completion handler returns no value and takes the following parameters: An array of accepted share metadata An error object that contains information about a problem, or nil if the method successfully accepts all invitations You typically call this method from your scene delegate’s windowScene(_:userDidAcceptCloudKitShareWith:) method. For SwiftUI apps, there are additional steps you need to complete before you can do this. For more information, see Accepting Share Invitations in a SwiftUI App. note: To be able to accept the share invitations, this method requires an active network connection. It executes a number of CloudKit operations, and imports any shared records into the relevant persistent stores, so it may take some time to complete.
