CloudKit met SwiftUI in 2026: cross-device datasynchronisatie patronen

// The three types of CloudKit databases

import CloudKit

/*
 CLOUDKIT DATABASE TYPES:

 1. PUBLIC DATABASE
    - Accessible to all app users
    - Storage quota counts against developer quota
    - Ideal for: shared content, reference data

 2. PRIVATE DATABASE
    - Each user's private data
    - Storage quota counts against user's iCloud
    - Ideal for: personal data, preferences

 3. SHARED DATABASE
    - Data sharing between specific users
    - Based on zones shared from private database
    - Ideal for: collaboration, family sharing
