Preparing to release an app with coredata

I am coming to an end with the creation of version 1.0 of my new project. first time i use coredata.

the app only uses 1 model, all data will be provided by the user (so I am not loading any data with the app).

of course I am already working on updates for the application in different branches and see some changes to the datamodel in the future. changes to the model will only consist of:

  • adding entities
  • adding attributes to existing objects
  • objects have nothing to do with each other.

I read: iPhone app with CoreData from there I went to: Easy Migration where I read about the ability of coredatas to automatically update their model if the changes are minor (if I read correctly my changes are included there).

in the Java migration doc I found the code for automatic migration:

NSError *error = nil;
NSURL *storeURL = <#The URL of a persistent store#>;
NSPersistentStoreCoordinator *psc = <#The coordinator#>;
NSDictionary *options = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
    [NSNumber numberWithBool:YES], NSMigratePersistentStoresAutomaticallyOption,
    [NSNumber numberWithBool:YES], NSInferMappingModelAutomaticallyOption, nil];

BOOL success = [psc addPersistentStoreWithType:<#Store type#>
                    configuration:<#Configuration or nil#> URL:storeURL
                    options:options error:&error];
if (!success) {
    // Handle the error.
}

      

my questions are:

  • where would i put this code? i found more info on this
  • I'm guessing this code will only be needed in an updated version of the app?
  • Do I need any other drugs in my 1.0 app to allow subsequent motives and updates for coredata, or do I not need to think about it in the first release?

  • I have this code in a method

    - (NSPersistentStoreCoordinator *) persistentStoreCoordinator

There should be code like

if (![__persistentStoreCoordinator addPersistentStoreWithType:NSSQLiteStoreType configuration:nil URL:storeURL options:nil error:&error])

      



if you let Xcode create the main data methods.

  • This code is only needed in an update that introduces a new model.

  • As far as I know, no. It's all.
