What does "core data's iCloud integration feature has been deprecated" mean?

I have been researching and learning how to create Core Data database that I was going to replicate and keep in the iCloud using CloudKit API... I have spent many hours doing so and now I get mixed messages that what I wanted to accomplish is now useless.

Do they mean don't use CloudKit to store data anymore, or don't use Core data with CloudKit or don't use Core Data with iCloud???

If I could get some answers from the Code Project community it would be much appreciated. I don't want to create anything that will be deprecated in the future. Since it will be a 2 year project at the least and it will end up running on the latest iOS


Here is what I was going to do. Create my app and have it store data on the iCloud and I was going to use Data Core to setup my Database and its relationships and then use CloudKit to store the data. Most of the data could be on the iCloud but some part of my app would need to be able to store data temporary when a user is not connected to the internet.

Thanks,

I have research this issue but I still have not found any concrete and complete explanation.
