  and SwiftUI)

Mobile Sync Enhancements

• Sync up by external ID: For locally created, updated, or deleted SmartStore records that specify an external ID field and provide its value, Mobile SDK performs an upsert instead of an update. However, if the record also contains a Salesforce ID, Mobile Sync performs an update.
