I have been struggling with getting my project using RestKit to save my JSON objects into Core Data. I have RestKit 0.10.2 and have gone through a hodgepodge of tutorials and cobbled together something here. I had previously reached success when my Event was an NSObject, and I did not implement Core Data. Now that I am using Core Data for persistence, I am having issues getting the JSON into the database. Everything I’ve tried either calls the objecLoader with [0] objects, or as it is now, I can’t get the objectLoader to get called.
My Xcode console output after showing the JSON shows this message:
2012-12-11 19:44:43.508 fish[19404:15b03] I restkit.core_data:RKInMemoryManagedObjectCache.m:34 Creating thread-local entity cache for managed object context: <NSManagedObjectContext: 0x11249470>
