(((Jann Gobble)))🏳️🌈@mschwinges @stroughtonsmith Hey @marcoarment! Did you see this #iCloudDrive news? Maybe rethink your rethink on iCloud Drive… ?

This one feels real good.
I filed the original bug for this back in 2014 when I was working on sync for Notes.
Little did I know, I would eventually join the CloudKit team and have the opportunity to fix it myself.
Marco Arment@_tim______ @jann @mschwinges @stroughtonsmith This could be a pretty big deal!
So whatever businesses do to disable iCloud Drive on their employee phones… would CloudKit now work on those, as long as they had a signed-in Apple ID?
Panzer@marcoarment @_tim______ @jann @mschwinges @stroughtonsmith that’s my q whether this supersedes an mdm profile that disables iCloud Drive. @robotspacer
Bill Lloyd@panzer @marcoarment @_tim______ @jann @mschwinges @stroughtonsmith @robotspacer From my read of https://support.apple.com/guide/deployment/restrictions-for-iphone-and-ipad-dep0f7dd3d8/web, I think disabling iCloud Drive is a supervised-only restriction, which means it's only settable on institutionally-owned devices, making this mostly a non-issue?
@wklj @marcoarment @_tim______ @jann @mschwinges @stroughtonsmith @robotspacer some of us have to live inside institutions with really paranoid (they’re lovely) opsec teams 😭
Sam Gross@panzer @wklj @marcoarment @_tim______ @jann @mschwinges @stroughtonsmith @robotspacer regulatory restrictions apply here too. The risk of a HIPAA-reportable data incident is so high with any file-syncing service outside of your control.
Jaanus Kase@_tim______ @jann @mschwinges @stroughtonsmith @marcoarment thank you for this change. The relation between iCloud Drive and CloudKit apps, and how the various toggles affect one another, has been a problem for users. Good to know this is going away now.
