Is it possible to retrieve icon of the iCloud user from CloudKit?

I need that small photo I have set up in my iCloud. Is there a way to get it?

Solution

  • I'm assuming you're referring to the small avatar associated with an iCloud account?

    If so, then no, I don't believe this is possible. The CloudKit discoverability APIs all return users in the form of CKDiscoveredUserInfo objects. These are currently limited to providing first name, last name and userRecordID.
