Does Simperium support this kind of relationship?

  • Though there isn't a unit test for this, it should be fine. The handling of self-referential relationships shouldn't be any different than the handling of one-to-many relationships between two different Entities. For example, Simperium will resolve relationships if they sync out-of-order.

    Behind the scenes, it's just unique IDs that Simperium is tracking and syncing.
