类似于@Cris，我已经实现了客户端和服务器之间的同步类，并解决了迄今为止所有已知的问题(向服务器发送/接收数据，基于时间戳合并冲突，在不可靠的网络条件下删除重复条目，同步嵌套数据和文件等。)

您只需告诉类应该同步哪个实体和哪些列，以及服务器在哪里。

M3Synchronization * syncEntity = [[M3Synchronization alloc] initForClass: @"Car"
                                                              andContext: context
                                                            andServerUrl: kWebsiteUrl
                                             andServerReceiverScriptName: kServerReceiverScript
                                              andServerFetcherScriptName: kServerFetcherScript
                                                    ansSyncedTableFields:@[@"licenceNumber", @"manufacturer", @"model"]
                                                    andUniqueTableFields:@[@"licenceNumber"]];


syncEntity.delegate = self; // delegate should implement onComplete and onError methods
syncEntity.additionalPostParamsDictionary = ... // add some POST params to authenticate current user

[syncEntity sync];

我认为GUID问题的一个很好的解决方案是“分布式ID系统”。我不确定正确的术语是什么，但我认为这是MS SQL server文档过去所称的(SQL使用/使用这种方法用于分布式/同步数据库)。其实很简单:

The server assigns all IDs. Each time a sync is done, the first thing that is checked are "How many IDs do I have left on this client?" If the client is running low, it asks the server for a new block of IDs. The client then uses IDs in that range for new records. This works great for most needs, if you can assign a block large enough that it should "never" run out before the next sync, but not so large that the server runs out over time. If the client ever does run out, the handling can be pretty simple, just tell the user "sorry you cannot add more items until you sync"... if they are adding that many items, shouldn't they sync to avoid stale data issues anyway?

我认为这优于使用随机guid，因为随机guid不是100%安全的，通常需要比标准ID长得多(128位vs 32位)。您通常根据ID建立索引，并经常将ID号保存在内存中，因此保持它们较小是很重要的。

并不是真的想把它作为答案，但我不知道有人会把它作为评论，我认为这对这个话题很重要，不包括在其他答案中。

通过推送通知通知用户更新数据。 在应用程序中使用后台线程检查本地数据和云服务器上的数据，当服务器上发生变化时，更改本地数据，反之亦然。

所以我认为最困难的部分是估计哪一方的数据是无效的。

希望这能对你有所帮助

First you should rethink how many data, tables and relations you will have. In my solution I’ve implemented syncing through Dropbox files. I observe changes in main MOC and save these data to files (each row is saved as gzipped json). If there is an internet connection working, I check if there are any changes on Dropbox (Dropbox gives me delta changes), download them and merge (latest wins), and finally put changed files. Before sync I put lock file on Dropbox to prevent other clients syncing incomplete data. When downloading changes it’s safe that only partial data is downloaded (eg lost internet connection). When downloading is finished (fully or partial) it starts to load files into Core Data. When there are unresolved relations (not all files are downloaded) it stops loading files and tries to finish downloading later. Relations are stored only as GUID, so I can easly check which files to load to have full data integrity. Syncing is starting after changes to core data are made. If there are no changes, than it checks for changes on Dropbox every few minutes and on app startup. Additionaly when changes are sent to server I send a broadcast to other devices to inform them about changes, so they can sync faster. Each synced entity has GUID property (guid is used also as a filename for exchange files). I have also Sync database where I store Dropbox revision of each file (I can compare it when Dropbox delta resets it’s state). Files also contain entity name, state (deleted/not deleted), guid (same as filename), database revision (to detect data migrations or to avoid syncing with never app versions) and of course the data (if row is not deleted).

这个解决方案适用于数千个文件和大约30个实体。而不是Dropbox，我可以使用键/值存储作为REST web服务，我想稍后做，但没有时间做这个:)目前，在我看来，我的解决方案比iCloud更可靠，这是非常重要的，我可以完全控制它的工作方式(主要是因为它是我自己的代码)。

另一种解决方案是将MOC更改保存为事务-与服务器交换的文件会少得多，但很难按适当的顺序将初始加载到空的核心数据中。iCloud就是这样工作的，其他同步解决方案也有类似的方法，例如TICoreDataSync。

-- 更新

过了一段时间，我迁移到Ensembles——我推荐这个解决方案，而不是重新发明轮子。

我刚刚发布了我的新核心数据云同步API的第一个版本，即SynCloud。 SynCloud与iCloud有很多不同，因为它允许多用户同步界面。它还不同于其他同步api，因为它允许多表关系数据。
