iOS 9 and iOS 10 CoreData simultaneously
# Code in Swift 3 for Core Data for both iOS 9 and iOS 10 #
Since you want the core data code for both iOS 9 and iOS 10 then you don't have to use NSPersistentContainer as it not supported in iOS 9, so you have to use old method instead
If at the time of project creation you haven't included core data and later you want to include it, follow the following steps :-
Step 1. Go to Build Phases -> Link Binary with Library -> click on + sign -> Add CoreData.framework
Step 2. Now got to file -> New File -> select Data Model.
Step 3. Now you need to write some code inside AppDelegate.swift to get set go :-
import UIKit
import CoreData
@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
return true
}
func applicationWillResignActive(_ application: UIApplication) {
// Sent when the application is about to move from active to inactive state. This can occur for certain types of temporary interruptions (such as an incoming phone call or SMS message) or when the user quits the application and it begins the transition to the background state.
// Use this method to pause ongoing tasks, disable timers, and invalidate graphics rendering callbacks. Games should use this method to pause the game.
}
func applicationDidEnterBackground(_ application: UIApplication) {
// Use this method to release shared resources, save user data, invalidate timers, and store enough application state information to restore your application to its current state in case it is terminated later.
// If your application supports background execution, this method is called instead of applicationWillTerminate: when the user quits.
}
func applicationWillEnterForeground(_ application: UIApplication) {
// Called as part of the transition from the background to the active state; here you can undo many of the changes made on entering the background.
}
func applicationDidBecomeActive(_ application: UIApplication) {
// Restart any tasks that were paused (or not yet started) while the application was inactive. If the application was previously in the background, optionally refresh the user interface.
}
func applicationWillTerminate(_ application: UIApplication) {
self.saveContext()
}
// MARK: - Core Data stack
lazy var applicationDocumentsDirectory: NSURL = {
// The directory the application uses to store the Core Data store file. This code uses a directory named "hacker.at.work.mTirgger" in the application's documents Application Support directory.
let urls = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)
return urls[urls.count-1] as NSURL
}()
lazy var managedObjectModel: NSManagedObjectModel = {
// The managed object model for the application. This property is not optional. It is a fatal error for the application not to be able to find and load its model.
let modelURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "Model", withExtension: "momd")!
return NSManagedObjectModel(contentsOf: modelURL)!
}()
lazy var persistentStoreCoordinator: NSPersistentStoreCoordinator = {
// The persistent store coordinator for the application. This implementation creates and returns a coordinator, having added the store for the application to it. This property is optional since there are legitimate error conditions that could cause the creation of the store to fail.
// Create the coordinator and store
let coordinator = NSPersistentStoreCoordinator(managedObjectModel: self.managedObjectModel)
let url = self.applicationDocumentsDirectory.appendingPathComponent("SingleViewCoreData.sqlite")
var failureReason = "There was an error creating or loading the application's saved data."
do {
try coordinator.addPersistentStore(ofType: NSSQLiteStoreType, configurationName: nil, at: url, options: nil)
} catch {
// Report any error we got.
var dict = [String: AnyObject]()
dict[NSLocalizedDescriptionKey] = "Failed to initialize the application's saved data" as AnyObject?
dict[NSLocalizedFailureReasonErrorKey] = failureReason as AnyObject?
dict[NSUnderlyingErrorKey] = error as NSError
let wrappedError = NSError(domain: "YOUR_ERROR_DOMAIN", code: 9999, userInfo: dict)
// Replace this with code to handle the error appropriately.
// abort() causes the application to generate a crash log and terminate. You should not use this function in a shipping application, although it may be useful during development.
NSLog("Unresolved error \(wrappedError), \(wrappedError.userInfo)")
abort()
}
return coordinator
}()
lazy var managedObjectContext: NSManagedObjectContext = {
// Returns the managed object context for the application (which is already bound to the persistent store coordinator for the application.) This property is optional since there are legitimate error conditions that could cause the creation of the context to fail.
let coordinator = self.persistentStoreCoordinator
var managedObjectContext = NSManagedObjectContext(concurrencyType: .mainQueueConcurrencyType)
managedObjectContext.persistentStoreCoordinator = coordinator
return managedObjectContext
}()
// MARK: - Core Data Saving support
func saveContext () {
if managedObjectContext.hasChanges {
do {
try managedObjectContext.save()
} catch {
// Replace this implementation with code to handle the error appropriately.
// abort() causes the application to generate a crash log and terminate. You should not use this function in a shipping application, although it may be useful during development.
let nserror = error as NSError
NSLog("Unresolved error \(nserror), \(nserror.userInfo)")
abort()
}
}
}
}
That's all your Core Data is ready for both iOS 9 and iOS 10 in Swift 3. Enjoy !!!

Method 2 : Custom Class
Create a swift file named as CoreDataStack and copy paste below code into it.
import UIKit
import CoreData
class CoreDataStack {
static var applicationDocumentsDirectory: URL = {
let urls = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)
return urls[urls.count-1]

var failureReason = "There was an error creating or loading the application's saved data."
let options = [NSMigratePersistentStoresAutomaticallyOption: NSNumber(value: true as Bool), NSInferMappingModelAutomaticallyOption: NSNumber(value: true as Bool)]

} catch {
// Report any error we got.
var dict = [String: AnyObject]()
dict[NSLocalizedDescriptionKey] = "Failed to initialize the application's saved data" as AnyObject
dict[NSLocalizedFailureReasonErrorKey] = failureReason as AnyObject
dict[NSUnderlyingErrorKey] = error as NSError
let wrappedError = NSError(domain: "YOUR_ERROR_DOMAIN", code: 9999, userInfo: dict)
// Replace this with code to handle the error appropriately.
// abort() causes the application to generate a crash log and terminate. You should not use this function in a shipping application, although it may be useful during development.
NSLog("Unresolved error \(wrappedError), \(wrappedError.userInfo)")
abort()
}
return coordinator
}()
static var managedObjectContext: NSManagedObjectContext = {
// Returns the managed object context for the application (which is already bound to the persistent store coordinator for the application.) This property is optional since there are legitimate error conditions that could cause the creation of the context to fail.
let coordinator = persistentStoreCoordinator
var managedObjectContext = NSManagedObjectContext(concurrencyType: .mainQueueConcurrencyType)
managedObjectContext.persistentStoreCoordinator = coordinator
return managedObjectContext
}()
static func getEntity<T: NSManagedObject>() -> T {
if #available(iOS 10, *) {
let obj = T(context: CoreDataStack.context)
return obj
} else {
guard let entityDescription = NSEntityDescription.entity(forEntityName: NSStringFromClass(T.self), in: CoreDataStack.context) else {

// abort() causes the application to generate a crash log and terminate. You should not use this function in a shipping application, although it may be useful during development.
let nserror = error as NSError
NSLog("Unresolved error \(nserror), \(nserror.userInfo)")
abort()
}
}
}
}
And edit your AppDelegate as below
import UIKit
import CoreData
@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
return true
}
func applicationWillResignActive(_ application: UIApplication) {
// Sent when the application is about to move from active to inactive state. This can occur for certain types of temporary interruptions (such as an incoming phone call or SMS message) or when the user quits the application and it begins the transition to the background state.
// Use this method to pause ongoing tasks, disable timers, and invalidate graphics rendering callbacks. Games should use this method to pause the game.
}
func applicationDidEnterBackground(_ application: UIApplication) {
// Use this method to release shared resources, save user data, invalidate timers, and store enough application state information to restore your application to its current state in case it is terminated later.
// If your application supports background execution, this method is called instead of applicationWillTerminate: when the user quits.
}
func applicationWillEnterForeground(_ application: UIApplication) {
// Called as part of the transition from the background to the active state; here you can undo many of the changes made on entering the background.
}
func applicationDidBecomeActive(_ application: UIApplication) {
// Restart any tasks that were paused (or not yet started) while the application was inactive. If the application was previously in the background, optionally refresh the user interface.
}
func applicationWillTerminate(_ application: UIApplication) {
// Called when the application is about to terminate. Save data if appropriate. See also applicationDidEnterBackground:.
// Saves changes in the application's managed object context before the application terminates.
CoreDataStack.saveContext()
}
Usage
Here Task is my entity name.
func dummyData() {
let task: Task = CoreDataStack.getEntity()
task.title = "Hello World!"
CoreDataStack.saveContext()
}
CoreData Stack for both iOS 9 and iOS 10 in Swift
Here is the Core Data Stack that worked for me. I thought that in order to support iOS 10 I need to implement NSPersistentContainer class, but I found out that the older version with NSPersistentStoreCoordinator works as well.
You have to change name for your Model (coreDataTemplate) and project (SingleViewCoreData).
Swift 3:
// MARK: - CoreData Stack
lazy var applicationDocumentsDirectory: URL = {
// The directory the application uses to store the Core Data store file. This code uses a directory named "com.cadiridris.coreDataTemplate" in the application's documents Application Support directory.
let urls = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)
return urls[urls.count-1]
}()
lazy var managedObjectModel: NSManagedObjectModel = {
// The managed object model for the application. This property is not optional. It is a fatal error for the application not to be able to find and load its model.
let modelURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "coreDataTemplate", withExtension: "momd")!
return NSManagedObjectModel(contentsOf: modelURL)!
}()
lazy var persistentStoreCoordinator: NSPersistentStoreCoordinator = {
// The persistent store coordinator for the application. This implementation creates and returns a coordinator, having added the store for the application to it. This property is optional since there are legitimate error conditions that could cause the creation of the store to fail.
// Create the coordinator and store
let coordinator = NSPersistentStoreCoordinator(managedObjectModel: self.managedObjectModel)
let url = self.applicationDocumentsDirectory.appendingPathComponent("SingleViewCoreData.sqlite")
var failureReason = "There was an error creating or loading the application's saved data."
do {
try coordinator.addPersistentStore(ofType: NSSQLiteStoreType, configurationName: nil, at: url, options: nil)
} catch {
// Report any error we got.
var dict = [String: AnyObject]()
dict[NSLocalizedDescriptionKey] = "Failed to initialize the application's saved data" as AnyObject?
dict[NSLocalizedFailureReasonErrorKey] = failureReason as AnyObject?
dict[NSUnderlyingErrorKey] = error as NSError
let wrappedError = NSError(domain: "YOUR_ERROR_DOMAIN", code: 9999, userInfo: dict)
// Replace this with code to handle the error appropriately.
// abort() causes the application to generate a crash log and terminate. You should not use this function in a shipping application, although it may be useful during development.
NSLog("Unresolved error \(wrappedError), \(wrappedError.userInfo)")
abort()
}
return coordinator
}()
lazy var managedObjectContext: NSManagedObjectContext = {
// Returns the managed object context for the application (which is already bound to the persistent store coordinator for the application.) This property is optional since there are legitimate error conditions that could cause the creation of the context to fail.
let coordinator = self.persistentStoreCoordinator
var managedObjectContext = NSManagedObjectContext(concurrencyType: .mainQueueConcurrencyType)
managedObjectContext.persistentStoreCoordinator = coordinator
managedObjectContext.mergePolicy = NSMergeByPropertyObjectTrumpMergePolicy
return managedObjectContext
}()
