CKModifyBadgeOperation is deprecated in iOS 11. Anyone know an alternative approach?

Question

I have searched, and I cannot find an example. I have also tried adapting this code (recommended elsewhere (CloudKit won't reset my badge count to 0):

func resetBadgeCounter() {
    let badgeResetOperation = CKModifyBadgeOperation(badgeValue: 0)
    badgeResetOperation.modifyBadgeCompletionBlock = { (error) -> Void in
        if error != nil {
            print("Error resetting badge: \(String(describing: error))")
        }
        else {
            UIApplication.shared.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0
        }
    }
    CKContainer.default().add(badgeResetOperation)
}

This works for now, but is no longer supported, and may go away soon.

I thought perhaps I should use a CKModfyRecordsOperation or some other CKDatabaseOperation, but I can't even guess how.

It's probably best to just track the items you are counting and set the app badge count yourself. I reference a local database that has my items in it, and I return the total and set my app badge accordingly.
