setUbiquitous(_:itemAt:destinationURL:)
Indicates whether the item at the specified URL should be stored in iCloud.
Declaration
func setUbiquitous(_ flag: Bool, itemAt url: URL, destinationURL: URL) throwsParameters
- flag:
True to move the item to iCloud or False to remove it from iCloud (if it is there currently).
- url:
The URL of the item (file or directory) that you want to store in iCloud.
- destinationURL:
When moving a file into iCloud, this is the location in iCloud at which to store the file or directory. This URL must be constructed from a URL returned by the Url(forubiquitycontaineridentifier:) method, which you use to retrieve the desired iCloud container directory. The URL you specify may contain additional subdirectories so that you can organize your files hierarchically in iCloud. However, you are responsible for creating those intermediate subdirectories (using the Filemanager class) in your iCloud container directory. When moving a file out of iCloud, this is the location on the local device.
Discussion
Use this method to move a file from its current location to iCloud. For files located in an app’s sandbox, this involves physically removing the file from the sandbox container. (The system extends your app’s sandbox privileges to give it access to files it moves to iCloud.) You can also use this method to move files out of iCloud and back into a local directory.
If your app is presenting the file’s contents to the user, it must have an active file presenter object configured to monitor the specified file or directory before calling this method. When you specify true for the flag parameter, this method attempts to move the file or directory to the cloud and returns true if it is successful. Calling this method also notifies your file presenter of the new location of the file so that your app can continue to operate on it.
