iCloud Drive has made Byword unhappy… and thus my unhappiness.

• Drafts 4 syncing issues

  There is a serious iCloud bug in iOS 8.1. I’ve written up some notes on the bug (link below), but long story short I’ve worked around it as best I can to prevent Drafts from hanging, but the system will sometimes fail to report the availability of iCloud and in those cases the app will temporarily disable sync and try again later. No data will be lost, but no sync will occur until the system recovers.
  

Often a reboot of your device is a temporary fix. You will probably also see some hangs in other apps using iCloud if your device is exhibiting this issue.

The Details

I’m continuing to work on avoiding the issue as best as I can, but fully fixing it will require and update from Apple. I am testing on the 8.1.1 beta and it seems to resolve the issue, but I do not know when it will be released publicly.
