Renaming coredata .xcdatamodeld file and migration

问题:

We had a 2 separated apps that we have merged to 2 targets in the same workspace. Both had their core data model (app1.xcdatamodeld and app2.xcdatamodeld).

Now that both are in the same workspace there is no need for 2 models as they are 99% similar. So I want to change the name of the .xcdatamodeld package to allApps.xcdatamodeld. I was able to rename it but I do not find any reference about the behaviour of migration when doing so.

This is the error -

Is there a way to rename name1.xdatamodel to name2.xdatamodel in an app that is already in production ?

Thanks

回答1:

Rather than renaming the app1.xcdatamodeld or the app2.xcdatamodeld you should create a new one (allApps.xcdatamodeld). This new one model can be just a copy of whichever model you want to keep.

Then in each of the two targets add an .xcmappingmodel file and link it to the allApps.xcdatamodeld and perform any translations needed.

The way coreData works, you'll want to keep the original app1 and app2 xcdatamodeld files around to ensure that you never break a user who happens to have your very oldest app still running on their device.

File > New > File > Core Data > Mapping Model. Choose the source model and click Next.

Choose the Target data model and click Next.

Do this again in your other target for app2 and you should be OK.

Try using versioning and lightweight migration,

For more over versioning and migration you can check this out.

If above does not help then try it by this way,

Firstly, when you add a core data model in xcode, you actually get a .xcdatamodeld file which is a package like the .xcodeproj file. In finder, you can right click it and "Show Package Contents". You'll see it contains a .xcdatamodel file.

It seems to me you can't rename it fully using xcode. Xcode will change the name of the package file (the momd) as you see it in the UI, but on the file system it has not actually changed.

The nil model error you get is because it can't find the newfilename momd since it still has the old name on disk. (I guess)

I worked around this by creating a new model with the name I wanted, then in the existing model, you can click-drag and select your entities, then just paste them into the new model file. You can then delete the old one and commit all the changes to your SCM.

You can get more help regarding above steps from this link.

回答3:

Just click right click on .xcdatamodeld Show in Finder and Rename it. Remove from bundle exiting one and Drag and drop Renamed .xcdatamodeld, Now clean the build, Check before run relationship between models if have and Run again.

回答4:

1. Add Model Version
2. change current model version to new one, then delete unused model version step 2 detail
