iCloud functionality?

guideontheside

Your newsletter confirmed version 2.1 has iCloud support. By iCloud design, this means that I can view the saved sessions on iPad or iPhone. I've not found out how to do this.

SweetP

There is no iOS app for SessionRestore, so it is not possible to view your sessions.

Romain

However, it looks like iCloud Sync does not work between Macs either. Could you please add some doc describing a working scenario? Thanks!

SweetP

Do you have iCloud Drive enabled on both Macs?

Romain

Hello, thanks for the prompt answer!
Yes, iCloud Drive is enabled and working on both Macs.

SweetP

Is SessionRestore listed and checked in:
System Preferences > Apple ID > iCloud Drive > Options

Romain

Hi Russel, thanks. Yes, SessionRestored is listed (and checked) on both Macs. I could not sync in either directions yet. Thanks for your support

Romain

If it helps, I grepped the list of folders in ~/Library/Mobile Documents/, but I could not find anything related to "sweet", "session" or "restore". There should be a folder related to SessionRestore, right?

not on my computer at least.

this is strange,
I just re-enabled iCloud sync on my install, and some sessions I had months back when I last enabled it synced right in.

try toggling the setting off (in SessionRestore), then back on. and then restart SessionRestore to force the sync.
do this first in the primary install, then try the same thing for the install you want to sync too

Romain

Indeed, this works, many thanks Russel

SweetP

Perfect!
I’ll take a look at my implementation and see why it’s not syncing straight away

Romain

Hello Russel, thanks for the update today. I have again trouble synchronizing the two Macs. While streaming the logs in Console, I got errors like this one:

error: CoreData+CloudKit: -NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate recoverFromError:: <NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate: 0x600003118000> - Attempting recovery from error: <CKError 0x6000004ff7e0: "Partial Failure" (2/1011); "Failed to modify some records"; uuid = F52CA680-FE76-4CA7-846B-B9BB86D27264; container ID = "iCloud.com.sweetpproductions.SessionRestore"; partial errors: {

I hope it's somewhat helpful.
