I'm using a parse server for delivering news and calendar information to iOS and Android apps. (Therefore I don't need any user accounts.)
I followed the instructions on the parse site (https://docs.parseplatform.org/ios/guide/#enable-data-sharing) to enable data sharing but the data doesn't get shared. I have to download the information in the app and the today extension.
Here is the code I use to initialize the parse SDK:
+ (void)establishConnectionForExtension:(BOOL)extension {
// enable app groups
if (extension) [Parse enableDataSharingWithApplicationGroupIdentifier:@"group.de.company.app" containingApplication:@"de.company.app"];
else [Parse enableDataSharingWithApplicationGroupIdentifier:@"group.de.company.app"];
// initialize parse
[Parse initializeWithConfiguration:[ParseClientConfiguration configurationWithBlock:^(id<ParseMutableClientConfiguration> _Nonnull configuration) {
configuration.applicationId = PARSE_ID;
configuration.clientKey = PARSE_KEY;
configuration.server = @"https://";
configuration.localDatastoreEnabled = YES;
}]];
}
I found the solution:
+ (void)establishConnectionForExtension:(BOOL)extension {
[Parse initializeWithConfiguration:[ParseClientConfiguration configurationWithBlock:^(id<ParseMutableClientConfiguration> _Nonnull configuration) {
configuration.applicationGroupIdentifier = @"group.de.company.app";
configuration.applicationId = PARSE_ID;
configuration.clientKey = PARSE_KEY;
configuration.localDatastoreEnabled = YES;
configuration.server = @"https://";
if (extension) configuration.containingApplicationBundleIdentifier = @"de.company.app";
}]];
}
It would be great to find this in the official Parse documentation... (I needed three days to to get this working.)
