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 @lukaskubanek My test cases:
between TextEdit on macOS 15.7.4 and iA Writer on iOS 26.4 syncs fairly quickly in both directions.
Then looked at iPadOS 26.3.1 iA Writer and it didn't update until I closed the app and restarted.
After that changes on the iPad sync'd to the Mac and not iOS 🤦♂️
After closing on my iPhone all 3 sync now.
Wild! Is there QA at Apple?
