I’m working through the Core Data Utility at http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CoreDataUtilityTutorial/Articles/00_introduction.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001800-CH202-TP1

I’ve stumbled on a rather nasty crash SIG_ABRT on the line that reads:

[moc save:&error]

This is the output in the debug:

    2010-07-25 22:24:01.665 CoreDataUtilityTutorial[1607:a0f] -[NSCFNumber timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x200022100

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'NSException'

Anyone have an idea? I rechecked the code to see if I mistyped something but nothing is wrong…

Thanks in advance.

    Without your actual code, this is a wild stab in the dark, but it looks as if your store is improperly configured at some juncture. Specifically, it looks as if the runtime is expecting a date, but the store has a number.

    This could result from making changes to a model without doing a full recompile, maybe.

    It could of course be something completely different, but without your specific code, or at the very least a diff against the finished example project as supplied with the tutorial, this is pretty difficult to troubleshoot.

    (Another, not impossible, alternative, is that the tutorial was written to assume a specific, earlier version of Mac OS X, like 10.4 or 10.5. This could also result in problems, especially if the default settings for a Core Data project has changed, and this is a result of using the XML store over, say, the SQLite store.)
