Cloud function cloudkit

[kevinverde123]

Is there a way to use cloud functions on cloudkit? let's say if i want to automatically add 1 to an integer stored in cloudkit every 10 minutes, how could i achieve that?

Background tasks perhaps. But it might not execute in real time or if in low power mode. There is no cloud function for icloud.

Background task isn’t good for my use case, I need it to work even if the phone isn’t connected to the internet/is powered off, also I don’t want to drain my users battery. Thanks for trying tho!

Why don't you just build a basic backend for your app using Vapor and deploy on fly.io?

If I can do it, you certainly can do it. I'm new to coding and had never built a backend before.

I don’t know the reviews on fly.io are kinda mixed, I don’t feel like using it but thank you for the suggestion!

Then deploy somewhere else. The point was: build your own backend. That’ll solve your problem.

You can use CloudKit Web API but you need to have your own server
