event.type

Overview

A string value indicating what happened in Key-Value Storage. This will be one of the values listed below.

For a table of specific keys affected, see the iCloudKVSEvent.keys property.

Values

• "serverChange" — A value changed in iCloud. This occurs when another device, running another instance of your app and attached to the same iCloud account, uploads a new value.

• "initialSync" — Your attempt to write to Key-Value Storage was discarded because an initial download from iCloud did not yet occur. In other words, before you can initially write key-value data, the system must ensure that your app’s local on-disk cache matches the data in iCloud. Initial downloads occur the first time a device is connected to an iCloud account or when a user switches their primary iCloud account.

• "quotaViolation" — Your app’s key-value storage amount has exceeded its quota on the iCloud server.

• "accountChange" — The user has changed the primary iCloud account. When this occurs, the keys and values in the local Key-Value Storage have been replaced with those from the new account.

• "unknown" — Some other occurrence (this should never happen).
