How do I access the attribute of a one to many relationship and pass to another tableview?
uitableview,core-data,nsfetchedresultscontrolle,nsmanagedobject
So I read up more on faults and learned that it's actually not an error but more of a unrealized object. It will become a real object when it's called. In my case, I had a one-to-many relationship so entity B was a NSSet in the A.h file. I simply...
How do I compare the value of password stored in CoreData with user input?

How to change attribute type in xcdatamodel?
ios,xcode,core-data,xcdatamodel
This is really complex problem. You can't simply change datatype of an attribute. The error you see means that core data is not able to migrate your data to the new version. 1) Create new model version instead and set new data type there. See https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/recipes/xcode_help-core_data_modeling_tool/Articles/creating_new_version.html 2) Set new model...

Delete row in TableView and remove the core data - iOS / Swift
swift,core-data,xcode6,delete-row
SOLVED The issue with my delete was not the issue. (NOTE: you do not need the "tableView.deleteRowsAtIndexPaths([indexPath], withRowAnimation:.Fade)" line in your delete function.) The issue I was originally having was that the slide would work but the user would not be prompt with the delete. Make sure you check your...
NSFetchedResultsController swift sections

Getting objects from to-many relationship in Swift Core Data
ios,swift,core-data,one-to-many
Sorry because I'm really tired I couldn't read everything. But from what I've read, you want to get the citizens of a country which should be a NSSet. To get that you can simply do: let contacts = yourArrayOfCountries.flatMap { $0.citizensOfCountry.allObjects as! [Contacts] } According to your comment: let contacts...

Core Data Scalar error only on some devices
If the Core Data type is Integer 64 then should declare the property as Int64 (or let Xcode create the managed object subclass). Int can be 32 bit or 64 bit, depending on the processor architecture. Alternatively, define the property as NSNumber* instead of a scalar property. Of course you...
how to have existing data in coredata ENTITY before the app launches

How can I convert Int32 to Int in Swift?
swift,core-data,int,type-conversion
The error is your ? after valueForKey. Int initializer doesnt accept optionals. By doing myUnit.valueForKey(“theNUMBER”)?.intValue! gives you an optional value and the ! at the end doesnt help it. Just replace with this: return Int(myUnit.valueForKey(“theNUMBER”)!.intValue) But you could also do like this if you want it to be fail safe:...
Crash: Swift, Adding a new Entity on an already existing Core Data
Each time you change your data model, you must uninstall your app on the device or on the simulator. Thus, in the next build and run, the updated DB will be loaded. Of course, you lose all the data being loaded in the precedent version.
Passing data - Swift
ios,swift,core-data,store-data
I would recommend you to use CoreData for this, and yes, you can access this data anywhere in the app. Explaining how to implement CoreData can end up in quite a big answer though! Instead I will recommend you to watch the following video from a Stanford course on iOS...

ios,core-data,nspredicate,nsmanagedobject,relationships
From the screenshot of your model, it is configured so that each Team can have only one Batting. Each time you set batting.team to a given Team, CoreData will remove the link from that Team to its current Batting object (thereby setting that Batting object's team to nil). You should...
two arrays from NSFetchedResultsController swift
ios,swift,core-data,nsfetchedresultscontrolle

Which is a better way: retrieve images from AWS S3 or download it and store locally in a temp folder to be displayed?

RestKit throws NSInternalInconsistencyException upon PUT request
Curiously now, the entity and the self.entity object both have the same debug description. The addresses of the entity descriptions must be different.

ios,objective-c,core-data,concurrency
You can force the conversion to happen early, before you've saved changes, like so: [moc obtainPermanentIDsForObjects:moc.insertedObjects.allObjects error:&error]; As I understand it, the object is already in both contexts. You don't need to retrieve it from the store, as it's cached. You still have the object and could query the store,...
Is it possible to do fetch and save in Private context,Without notifying anything to main context.?
Different managed object contexts are not automatically aware of changes made by each other. If you fetch the same object in two contexts, change it in one, and save changes, the other context will not know about the new values unless you merge the changes somehow. That means it has...
