CloudKit only for paid developer account??

After updating to Xcode 8 can't find the CloudKit toggle button under capabilities.

Hi Ritesh,

Have a read through the below article which has being updated for Xcode 8, it should help you get CloudKit going once again for your app.

Thanks.. but it seems that the advanced app capabilities like cloud kit has been restricted only to enrolled developers i.e by paying $99..

Yeah, iCloud capability appears only available for paid developers:

Pasan Premaratne ... perhaps when updating this course to Swift 3, maybe consider using a cloud platform that is free for everyone to use? Would definitely help. Thanks.

Thanks for the heads up David! We will definitely account for this in the Swift 3 update
