Why does retrieveCloudDocumentWithName trigger iCloudFilesDidChange?

[skuske]

I am observing iCloud changes through iCloudFilesDidChange and what I am seeing is that calling retrieveCloudDocumentWithName actually triggers iCloudFilesDidChange, which causes iCloudFilesDidChange to be called over and over again if I call retrieveCloudDocumentWithName from within iCloudFilesDidChange.

What I want to do is: observe changes on a specific file, if there is a change, download the file and save it locally. However, due to the fact iCloudFilesDidChange is called over and over again if I call retrieveCloudDocumentWithName from within iCloudFilesDidChange, there's no way to stop that.

Maybe I misunderstood something fundamental - if so, sorry... Thanks for any help.

You haven't misunderstood anything. This is a known issue -- thank you for reporting it here. Check out the swift-rewrite branch for updates to the library. Expect a fix for this soon.

Does that mean that only the swift-rewrite will get the fix for that?
