Parse-sdk-ios-osx: Local Datastore is deprecated; how do we achieve the same functionality? Esp retrieving objects from local storage...

[drdaz]

Having experienced a lot of trouble with LDS, I started looking for answers and discovered that it's deprecated: https://github.com/ParsePlatform/Parse-SDK-dotNET/issues/237

@richardjrossiii I've been building on https://github.com/eladb/Parse-NSCoding to get NSCoding implementations for the Parse objects and have run into the issue that I can't seem to regenerate my objects from storage without using internal APIs, since some of the values I need to store are stored in private state objects.

For example, if I want to get an object out of storage, it's 'isDirty' flag is going to be set to YES, since the dirty property is calculated with private variables. Similarly, if I want to regenerate a saved PFFile, I need to access it's private state object to set the url field.

Is there any reliable way of regenerating your objects from local storage without diving into private APIs?

I recently stumbled across this too. If it is deprecated why isn't this clearly marked in the docs? Can we get some clarification here please

+1 Would like clarification

+1 very hard to find anything about this

Will it still work with swift 4? What's the workaround for this? Completely migrate to realm or can you stop the data out of the pfobject and save it to a local SQLite instance?
