SOOOO... I'm having a strange issue with iCloud drive and third-party apps, but the one in question is called iReal Pro. There's a feature called "iCloud Sync" where it'll supposedly sync all the songs and playlists between devices if signed into iCloud. Well, this feature hasn't been working, so I checked their support page, and they say to make sure the app is using iCloud Drive. So I went into System Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > iCloud Drive > Apps Syncing to iCloud Drive, and here on the Mac, it shows that iReal Pro is syncing. But if I do the same on my iPhone or iPad, it shows that zero apps, including iReal, are syncing. Why is this? Is there some setting I'm supposed to turn on that isn't on by default? This is an incredibly annoying issue, because I use my Mac to make changes to the songs in there, and then I always end up reading them on my iPhone/iPad, so since changes (and new song/playlist imports) aren't syncing, I can't really do that. And of course, this means that if I import a custom playlist someone sends me on my Mac (or iPad/phone for that matter), and then I open the app on my iPad/iPhone on a gig, the playlist isn't there, so there are serious practical issues because of this. Any ideas? iirc, the app is updated to the latest version on all three devices. Again, I checked their support page, and it's just not helpful...
