Looks like the CloudKit sync issue in *OS 26.4 is real (I can repro with all of my apps), and has the very distinct potential to lead to catastrophic data loss and/or sync conflicts across effectively all apps. Apps only receive changes from the cloud after being quit and relaunched.

If Apple hasn't pulled 26.4 already, it should do so immediately until there's a fixed build

@stroughtonsmith I tend to disagree. Error handling is mandatory for an app using CloudKit and I can’t see how it could lead to “catastrophic data loss”. Remote notifications have never been reliable. This is a best effort service?

@slizeray anybody using last-write-wins for anything could lose days of work, since iOS apps don't quit
