Question

I am attempting to create an object store with a seed database of about 500 MB. Here is how I do it:

self.restObjectStore = [RKManagedObjectStore objectStoreWithStoreFilename:@"DB.sqlite"
                                                                            usingSeedDatabaseName:@"SEED-DB.sqlite"
                                                                                  managedObjectModel:self.managedObjectModel
                                                                                                     delegate:nil];

However whenever I do an adhoc deploy the application crashes with the ” failed to launch in time” error. (Note: No problems occur when I try this with XCode)

Is there a way to improve performance of this operation? What can I do to avoid this error? Is it a too big seed database?

That’s a pretty huge seed database! I would suggest first trying out with a smaller one to make sure it’s not caused by it’s huge size. The RKTwitterCoreData exemple has a good exemple on how to seed an initial store:
