Swapped out the AppDelegate with the current. From there the code fixes are just bringing things up to speed. A good lesson in debugging. Thanks for the project, Brian!

This was the Swift Core Data tutorials I was waiting for. So I start right into it.

Now it's done on my own MBP in Beta4. I liked the introduction a lot, and will immediatly go on with part 2. Great stuff!

All this code is old, it was written using the beta version of xcode and swift, there are some methods that slightly changed the syntax. Can you update us with the new code?

Very good tutorial. I have a question, why and when you must use uimanageddocument? I saw ios7 videos that use that class, but not in your project.

Brian, this is great but do you have a video covering how to setup the storyboard? I am interested in how you setup the "Add Contact" page with the editable tableViewCells. If you could do a quick video on how to set up a page like that, that would be swell. Thanks!

Hello Brian, the tutorial looks awesome but for some reason the files are not available anymore, is it because it is an older video? Do you have something similar were the files are still available in regards to DataCore?

[josephastrahan]

Do you have an updated version of this tutorial, looks really good, but I noticed the new xCode is quite different in how entities are created.

Brian Advent Hi I got an error when importing swiftcoredatahelper class. I imported CoreData, but am getting this error: "Optional type 'NSPersistentStore?' cannot be used as a boolean" in the if statement below the storeCoordinator declaration. Why is this and what can I do to fix it? Thanks

Hi Brian, I am very interested to do mac osx app using Xcode 6 with objective- c and also coredata or sqlite. Have you some tutorial about that? Regards.

Nice tutorial, it is actually something useful.  However, the final code won't compile in the non-beta release version of xcode 6. Have you posted the fixes anywhere?

[AlvinReyes]

Thanks a lot for this! Great tutorial, clear and concise. :)

[coxinhads]

Hi Brian great tutorial but can you tell me how to download the swift DataCorehelper and  the other files for preparation thank you

Hi Brian Great Tutorial im just starting it by now. Due to a Swift update you need to do the following: Create a new Project Delete the AppDelegate.swift and ViewController.swift in Brians Project. Then drag it from the one you just created into Brians Project and you're nearly done. All you need to do now is go to the SwiftCoreDataHelper.swift and unwrap some Optionals as suggested by xcode and rewrite the error Handling as suggested:
- - - - - - - - - -
class func fetchEntities(className:NSString, withPredicate predicate:NSPredicate?,
let fetchRequest:NSFetchRequest = NSFetchRequest()
let = NSEntityDescription.entityForName(className, inManagedObjectContext: managedObjectContext)!

fetchRequest.entity = entetyDescription
if (predicate != nil){
fetchRequest.predicate = predicate!
}

= false
let items:NSArray = managedObjectContext.executeFetchRequest(fetchRequest, error: nil)!

return items
}
- - - - - - -

Hello.

How do you create the tableviews, navigation controller and this stuff in the storyboard?

Brian Advent I also found many more errors when trying to run the complete project that was downloaded from you link. I am using Xcode 6.1(6A1052d). Could you please review this and let me know what needs to be done? thanks!
