CloudKit: Fetch all records with a certain record type?

Question

I have currently got CloudKit set up in my app so that I am adding a new record using the help of the following code below,

CKRecordID *recordID         


        

Answer 1

In trying to fetch all records, and understand the structure and details of Cloudkit storage, I found it useful to have the following function available during debug. This uses semaphores to retain the data structure for printing. There may be a more elegant way to do this but this works!

//
// Print a list of records in all zones in all databases
//
func printRecordsInContainers() {

    let myContainer = CKContainer.default()
    // Edit the following dictionary to include any known containers and possible record types
    let containerRecordTypes: [CKContainer: [String]] = [ myContainer: ["MyRecordType", "OldRecordType", "MyUser", "PrivateInfo"] ]
    let containers = Array(containerRecordTypes.keys)

    for containerz in containers {
        let databases: [CKDatabase] = [containerz.publicCloudDatabase, containerz.privateCloudDatabase, containerz.sharedCloudDatabase]

        for database in databases {
            var dbType = ""
            if database.databaseScope.rawValue == 1 { dbType = "Public" }
            if database.databaseScope.rawValue == 2 { dbType = "Private" }
            if database.databaseScope.rawValue == 3 { dbType = "Shared" }

            //print("\(database.debugDescription)")
            print("\n\n\n
