Is CloudKit missing from Xamarin.Mac?

I'm trying to develop an app that will run on both OSX and iOS, using CloudKit to help sync the data.

I've found documentation for CloudKit on iOS, but I've been unable to find corresponding documentation for OSX. I'm hoping to use the native SDK's for CloudKit on OSX in C#. I'm usually pretty good at googling, but I've been unsuccessful thusfar. Does anyone know definitively if there is a C# API for CloudKit on OSX?

Thanks :)

CloudKit framework for Xamarin.Mac is in same namespace as Xamarin.iOS: CloudKit. Yes, it is available within Xamarin.Mac.

It has the same API between macOS, iOS, tvOS, and watchOS and thus using CKRecord, NSOperation, etc... is a same on the different platforms.

Re: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/cloudkit?language=objc

Note: If you end up needing ObjC/Swift @dynamic properties, which are not supported directly via Xamarin, review my bugzilla comments w/ Rolf Bjarne Kvinge and how I implemented them with Core Animation as I've had to use this same method across CloudKit and CoreData frameworks as dynamic-based properties are a hard requirement in some cases...
