Some words about my setup:

• MacOs Catalina 10.15.2

• Talking about git project folders on my Desktop which is synced with ICloud Drive sync Desktop & Document Folders option enabled

I have noticed that the following happens every now and then for some time now. Yesterday, I backed up my MacBook Pro to MacOs Catalina 10.15.2 and this seems to have exacerbated the following pecularity I noticed this in my git initialized project folders:

A lot of times when I deleted files from my local worktree they randomly start reappearing in the worktree (sometimes even a day or more later) as untracked files.

Secondly, quite regularly, my existing files are suddenly seemingly duplicated - there are copies of them with number suffixes like for file foo there suddenly is foo 2 and for file bar there is bar 6. They then also show up in git status as untracked files. example of duplicates appearing in worktree index

I also observed this behavior inside the .git folder. example of duplicates appearing in .git folder

* Edit: It is noteworthy that the 2 duplicates seem to stem from a previous time, sometimes even a month back (see "config 2" in .git folder screenshot above). I also noted (but this is not shown on the pictures I provided) that sometimes the number suffix is a random say "6" for example with no sequence of number suffixes (e.g. 1-5) leading up to that duplicated filename with number 6.

I have observed this happening every now and then but today it was all over the place. It could be that this problem especially appeared when I did some git ops like git commit git reset etc.

My assumption is that this must have something to do with .git not working well with ICloud Drive Desktop file sync.

So for now I will disable the ICloud Drive Desktop file sync option, and see if that will solve it.

In the meantime, is anyone here familiar with the issue I have described and can anyone point me in the right direction, please?

Can Git and iCloud Drive be effectively used together?

Github repo cloned to synced iCloud drive on multiple computers

As the title suggests, I want to implement iCloud Drive support on an existing app, in which the ubiquity container is prefixed by the old style, $(TeamIdentifierPrefix). For the life of me I cannot get this to work.

Initially I tried Apple's own steps as detailed here: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/General/Conceptual/iCloudDesignGuide/Chapters/DesigningForDocumentsIniCloud.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40012094-CH2-SW20

This did not work unfortunately. (I have remembered to increment the Bundle Version each build)

Following the steps available on this post: iCloud Drive Folder, I was able to get my app to appear in iCloud Drive, however my existing documents were inaccessible as they reside at e.g. X123F4563T8.com.example.app and not the newly created iCloud.com.example.app.

I have tried countless variations of differing identifier configurations, to try to get iCloud Drive to point to the old ubiquity container, but to no avail.

My entitlements file looks like the following, (with my app's own identifiers):
