Swift : core data crashed when getting persistentStoreCoordinator after applicationWillTerminate

Question

We updated our app to a new version.

There was a new function added to the new version and we added a new coredata table for that function.

After app was released, an error continued without no answer. Would somebody met the same error or same problem and solved this error?

Answer 1

First, you should post the erronious code, eg the getters in the AppDelegate (line numbers see stack trace).

In general, waiting until the application is terminated can take a very long time (because iOS tries to keep them alive, since iOS 4 i think). You could tranfer the logic into applicationDidEnterBackground , but I think this is also error prone because this will not be called if the app crashes somehow.

You should save the context as often as possible (but not more often :-), eg every time a view controller gets dismissed or so.
