ππΎ Iβm seeking recommendations for other libraries similar to Zephyr (https://github.com/ArtSabintsev/Zephyr) that simplify syncing UserDefaults across iCloud.
There are a few folks talking about the same issue:
An older Apple dev forum thread about prewarming (is this still relevant?)

StackOverflow post where folks blame a missing privacy manifest, but that doesnβt make sense does it?

#SwiftLang, #WebExtension, #SafariWebExtension, #NativeApp, #JavaScript, #AppGroup #UserDefaults
Recent #iOS development journal on data #persistency
1. Implemented everything with #UserDefaults and raw file system
2. Feeling in need of a higher level abstraction
3. #SQLite is too much for now, and I don't want to bother with schema migration on a client device
4. Core Data looks what I need, but friends warned me to avoid it
5. #GRDB seems to hold a good reputation comparing to Core Data
6. Let me try Core Data, it seems to improved a lot recently
