NSManagedObject of class 'NSManagedObject' must have a valid NSEntityDescription

I am working on Objective-C

with CoreData, I am getting below error ...

*** Application terminated due to unmapped "NSInvalidArgumentException" Reason: "NSManagedObject of class" NSManagedObject "must have a valid NSEntityDescription value.

I added CoreData

to my project. I created a method saveData

in viewControllerA

, and I named it in viewControllerB

.

In this scenario, I get the error if I call the saveData method in viewDidLoad

of viewControllerA

, it works correctly.

In AppDelegate.h

@property (readonly, strong, nonatomic) NSManagedObjectContext *managedObjectContext;
@property (readonly, strong, nonatomic) NSManagedObjectModel *managedObjectModel;
@property (readonly, strong, nonatomic) NSPersistentStoreCoordinator *persistentStoreCoordinator;
