Setting Up the App for iCloud Support

To set up an app to use iCloud, it used to be that several steps were required. Entitlements for the app needed to be set up, and the app needed to be configured in the iOS Provisioning Portal for iCloud support. iCloud usage can be tested only on the device, so the provisioning profile work needed to be completed in order for an iCloud app to work. With the introduction of Xcode 5, this process has been significantly streamlined and can be done entirely within Xcode 5.
