This guide provides a step-by-step approach to implement NSPersistentCloudKitContainer for syncing Core Data models with CloudKit, enhancing your app's data management capabilities across multiple devices.


        // Initialize NSPersistentCloudKitContainer
        let container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: "YourModelName")

        // Load the persistent stores
        container.loadPersistentStores(completionHandler: { (storeDescription, error) in
            if let error = error as NSError? {
                // Handle error appropriately
                fatalError("Unresolved error \(error), \(error.userInfo)")
            }
        })

        // Enable CloudKit synchronization
        let storeDescription = container.persistentStoreDescriptions.first
        storeDescription?.cloudKitContainerOptions = NSPersistentCloudKitContainerOptions(containerIdentifier: "your.container.identifier")

        // Save the context
        let context = container.viewContext
        do {
            try context.save()
        } catch {
            // Handle save error
            print("Failed to save context: \(error)")
        }
