CloudKit - "Invalid bundle ID for container"

Question

I've just create a project in Xcode 9 beta 6 and add this code:

let privateDB = CKContainer.default().privateCloudDatabase
let greatID = CKRecordID(recordName: "GreatPlace")
let place = CKRecord(recordType: "Place", recordID: greatID)

privateDB.save(place) { (record, error) in
        if error != nil {
            let er = (error as! CKError).errorUserInfo
            print("Error: \n")
            print("CKErrorDescription: \(er["CKErrorDescription"]!)\n")
            print("ContainerID: \(er["ContainerID"]!)\n")
            print("NSDebugDescription: \(er["NSDebugDescription"]!)\n")
            print("NSUnderlyingError: \(er["NSUnderlyingError"]!)\n")
            print("NSLocalizedDescription: \(er["NSLocalizedDescription"]!)\n")
            print("ServerErrorDescription: \(er["ServerErrorDescription"]!)\n")
        }
        if record != nil {
            print("record: \(record!)")
        }
 }

and add this capabilities:

and when I run the code I receive this error message:

What I am doing wrong ?

Answer 1

There was a bug causing some associations to be missed. That bug has been fixed and we automatically fixed the container/app associations that were broken during that time.

If for some reason you still need to redo an association you can either use the Capabilities pane in Xcode or use developer.apple.com -> Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles -> App IDs -> pick the ID -> Edit -> Edit under iCloud -> check the box for the container to disassociate, save, then re-associate.

If you're still stuck please email cloudkit[at]apple.com

My friend and I are having the same issue. We made 2 different projects and both of them had the same error message "Invalid bundle ID for container" which is CKError case 10 .

We are calling our fetch function to get the default "Users" record in the viewDidLoad.

func fetchWorkoutCompleted(completion: @escaping (Error?) -> Void = { _ in }) {
    cloudKitManager.fetchRecord(ofType: "Users", sortDescriptors: nil) { (records, error) in
        if let error = error {
            print(error.localizedDescription)
            completion(error)
            return
        }
        guard let records = records else { completion(nil); return }
        completion(nil)
    }
}

For me, the problem is that for creating a container I use CKContainer.default(). I have two different bundle identifier (debug and release) and CKContainer.default() will take the CK container identifier to be the same as the bundle identifier of the app. When I change for creating a container to use CKContainer(identifier: “my_cloudkit_identifier”) I could use the same CK container for the debug and release.

Had the same issue. what worked for me was changing the iCloud group name.

• Before it was something like this: iCloud.com.companyName.appName.randomString

• After changing to: iCloud.com.companyName.randomString it started working and synchronising.

If after adding the new container it's red press the refresh button(from under the groups) and try a clean install on your phone and it should work

Answer 5

Using Xamarin.IOS, I had to select manual provisioning rather than automatic provisioning in the info.plist file.

Answer 6

Thanks to Dave Browning, this is based on his answer.

Following worked for me:

Check the container id

• Check the container id used for initialisation of CKContainer
• Note: If you are using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer we wouldn't be using the container id directly would be picked automatically from the entitlements file.

Try to disable and enable iCloud on the App ID

Disable and Enable iCloud on App ID

1. Go to https://developer.apple.com and sign in
2. Select Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles
3. Select Identifiers (App IDs)
4. Edit App ID for the app
5. Uncheck iCloud
6. Save
7. Check iCloud
8. Quit Xcode and Clear DerivedData
9. Run app

Answer 7

In my case, I had to delete the app from the device, and initialize it again. Then it worked again.
