This is a total showstopper for any iOS apps using CloudKit.

@marcoarment soft disagree, CK apps should be architected so that push notifications are a nice to have, not a requirement.

@paul I can also imagine that the reality of many apps is different

@sense @paul Push notifications are a best effort service anyway, I tend to agree with Paul

@slizeray @sense getting CloudKit “right" is probably impossible for anyone outside of Apple. So it’s both a developer bug, an Apple bug and a CloudKit design issue. Lots of “blame" to go around.

@paul @slizeray it is hard because the developers rely on the backend they have no control over.

Apple would need to provide some guidance or a fix.

Either way, working together so that the issues that are surfacing are solved would be most productive.
