Alternatives to iCloud + Core Data to sync data between iOS and OS X
core-data, icloud, ios, macos, synchronization
Solution
i read that icloud is not enough mature to use with core data.
is that true ?
Yes, I've worked with it quite a bit but I cannot recommend it at present.
so i try to use the new dropBox sync API(to sync the sqlite file), but there's no support for mac.
- is parse sdk a good idea (that will allow me to add android support)?
- if no, have you other solution ?
Parse has a good reputation. There's an open source project called FTASync that integrates it with Core Data.
Some other options:
- TICoreDataSync, which syncs via Dropbox but lets you use Core Data
- WasabiSync, a third-party project that syncs Core Data via their own servers.
- Simperium, another one like Wasabi, syncing Core Data via their own servers.
At present I don't have enough experience with any of these to endorse them. They're all designed to sync Core Data outside of iCloud but I can't say which works best.
Problem
I'm developing an application for iOS/OS X and i want to sync data between them. for now I use Core Data for persistent data. I read that iCloud is not enough mature to use with core data. - Is that true ? so i try to use the new DropBox sync API(to sync the SQLite file), but there's no support for OS X. - Is Parse SDK a good idea? (it will also allow me to add Android support) - If no, have you other solution? Thank you.
