Abstract: Apple introduced iCloud in iOS5 as a service to allow applications to store data on Apple’s servers and have it synchronized across all devices used by the same person (via their Apple ID). It also has a backup component. This document describes how to use some of the iCloud APIs provided by Apple to store and retrieve data from their servers, with C# samples for storing small key-value data pairs and for storing documents. It also discusses how iCloud Backup can influence the design of your application. The iCloud storage API in iOS5 allow applications to save user documents & application specific data to a central location and access those items from all the user’s devices. iCloud helps you store your photos, music, apps, documents, calendars and more. It’s an easiest way to manage your content. Apple has built iCloud functionality directly into many of their apps and iOS5. When you take a photo from your iPhone, it can automatically synchronize with iCloud, and be pushed to your iPad and Mac.
