I noticed this caveat with regards to the SyncGateway:
"It cannot operate on pre-existing Couchbase buckets with app data in them because Sync Gateway has its own document schema and needs to create and manage documents itself. You can migrate existing data by creating a new bucket for the gateway and then using the Sync REST API to move your documents into it via PUT requests. You can’t make changes to the Couchbase bucket directly. You have to go through the Sync Gateway API."
However, if I release a CouchbaseLite ios app to the appstore that only works to store data locally, can I later sync databases created on the mobile apps to a server without using the Sync REST API? Is there anything special that I need to configure so they can later be synced properly?
Thanks for all your help!
