0. 3.0 BEFORE YOU SUBMIT: ICLOUD

[Rostislav]

Having problem to publish an application to AppStore. Always says it has coping Cordova files on the user's iCloud. Few megabytes as usual. Even if BackupWebStorage set to "none". I'm afraid that new version of XCode is miss-configured at cloud side so its ignore BackupWebStorage option. Or may be something wrong with Cordova. Ask you to check when your application starts to store data on the user's iCloud.

Some users have the same bug with Cordova:

Hi Rostislav,

I am unable to reproduce such behavior on my end, but I will provide you with possible reasons why this issue is occurring.

1. If you are using the SQLite plugin, please verify that you are saving information to a location that is not synced with the iCloud.
2. If you are using localStorage to store large files. This PhoneGap issue describes this problem in detail.
3. Does your iOS provision have the iCloud service turned on? You could try turning it off if your app does not store information in the iCloud.

Additionally, can you provide me with more information regarding:

• the exact error message that you receive from Apple?
• does your app stores information to the iCloud, or you are not using this functionality at all?
• what plugins are you using in your application?

Please, let me know if this helps and I look forward to your reply.

When i removed reference to localStorage, application published successfully to AppStore. 

I'm not sure what was the reason problem. Local tests via Apple's TestFlight shows no usage of iCloud even data saved at localStorage.

Hello Rostislav,

Could you tell me what kind of information you are storing in the localStorage? As I stated before this behavior might occur if you are saving lots or large files to the localStorage.

Furthermore, I believe this is a Cordova issue and we cannot provide a fix for it. As a workaround, I can suggest using one of the alternatives described in the Cordova documentation or in this article.

I hope this helps.
