CoreData supports 3 type of migration

  • LightWeight Migrations
  • Staged Migrations
  • Manual Migrations

Case 1. Manual Migration

When you faced this issue, You need to check next version of the xcdatamodel.

Case 2. LightWeight Migration

Most common crash issues are caused by mismatching options in a properties. For example you have a Binary Data type field with external storage. And when your next xcdatamodel doesn’t matching with external storage options, it causes crash issues

Lastly I recommend adding Arguments to investigate issues

  • -com.apple.CoreData.SQLDebug
  • -com.apple.CoreData.ConcurrencyDebug
  • -com.apple.CoreData.MigrationDebug
