Greg: Since Datastores are included within the Sync API SDK. Will they continue to work? along with the Sync API SDK (v1)? Or is that aspect of Sync SDK stop working on April 1st 2016?

Hey Greg, good to see you here. By "push", I mean, observing changes to anything in a datastore was so easy. Just add an observer and figure out according to the DBDatastoreStatus thing.. I know Sync API had those for a full folder.. My intention is to keep my local copy (in my preferred data structure) and make use of…

in To use API v2 in iOS platform, we need an objective-C version Comment by Raheel S. February 2016

Yet another long time ObjC developer. I agree with everyone here and I desperately need an ObjC wrapper atleast @Steve, I wanted to point out that its now Jan 28. I have a couple of months to migrate from DBDataStores to some new model with text files using a totally new swift-based SDK without a Sync Api at all. I am…

Your right. I'm gonna try your approach and stick with Dropbox (for now atleast). Thankfully, I also used SQLite as my local storage and kept DBDatastore for syncing. Only need to figure out backup and sync architecture. (which is ... so not easy). Oh well, thanks for help :)

@Clifton: Thanks for sharing I'm really struggling to find a good way to switch away from Datastores. I have a simple Notes with Tags system.

Any special logic your applying (if you don't mind sharing)?

Is syncing latest versions of SQLite db really the best option? I thought I'll just try normal file sync and figure out how the linking would work.

One big reason I used dropbox service: I have no idea about how to setup anything server side. Any links to a tutorial setting up parse and make it more datastores-y would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Steve! Yea I fully utilise getOrInsert. It works okay. The above scenario is not really about Datastore handling but After I do receive those DBRecords. In essence its about handling duplication locally. I don't use LocalDatastores. Heres what I do. I have a local db where I store recordID and the text. ( yes i don't…
