I’m trying to use “insertNewObjectForEntityForName”, but I’ve got a problem with my declaration, I wondered if someone had an opinion on this .

This is my implementation :

NSManagedObjectContext *context = [(AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate] managedObjectContext];

// Create Object
Shots *newShot = (Shots *)[NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:@"Shots" inManagedObjectContext:context];

It’s complaining that “Shots” is undeclared, now my question is : Do I need to declare a new class for Shots ? Knowing that it appears as a NSManagedObject in the dataModeler ?

    No, you do not need to write your own “Shots” class. In which case, use “NSManagedObject” as the data type instead. It’ll respond to accessing the Shots data fields.

    NSManagedObject *newShot = [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:@"Shots" inManagedObjectContext:context];

    You can write a Shots class, it will have NSManagedObject as its base class, if you need to implement model behavior particular to the Shots objects.
