Unable to query for Users CKRecords

With this query on the public database:

let pred = NSPredicate(format: "family == %@", ref)
let query = CKQuery(recordType: "Users", predicate: pred)

I get no results, even though I have this reference association on two Users records.

Even if I try:

let pred = NSPredicate(format: "TRUEPREDICATE")
let query = CKQuery(recordType: "Users", predicate: pred)

Which should return all Users records, I get nothing. Though I’d understand that Apple might not want the latter, is it also the case that I cannot query for specific Users as well?

I have scoured the documentation, but it's a little lacking currently and cannot find any conditionals about this. Users is a special recordType, so perhaps the answer is simply "No you cannot query for Users".

Thanks.

User records are explicitly not queryable. You must use CKDiscoverUserInfosOperation, CKDiscoverAllContactsOperation, -[CKContainer discoverUserInfo...] or -[CKContainer discoverAllContactUserInfosWithCompletionHandler] to find a user record.

If you need to query on an attribute of a user you'll need to create a new record type and store the property in there. You can use creatorUserRecordID on your custom record to associate that value with the user.
