I updated the macOS writer app to publish 25 actual records to CloudKit – and in turn, the iOS reader to fetch this new data. Each record includes a title and a remote imageURL. The titles appear right away, but the AsyncImage(url:) SwiftUI View has some noticeable latency when loading images. Tomorrow I’ll try saving them directly to CloudKit as a CKAsset when I create the records and see if this improves performance.

Progress is tangible though. This morning the app only displayed temp strings. Tonight it’s showing actual content and it’s starting to feel like a real app.

T minus 57-days…
