Correct sync when object deleted

[Metman]

Hello Paul! Thank you for library :)

I have problem with sync. If I delete record on first device and will open app on second device, my app will crash. Because Fetched Result Controller get deleted object, but object empty, all property is nil.

My AppDelegate :

import UIKit
import CoreData
import CloudKit
import Seam3
import UserNotifications

@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {

    var window: UIWindow?

    var smStore: SMStore?

    func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {

        let notificationOptions = UIUserNotificationSettings(types: [.alert], categories: nil)
        application.registerUserNotificationSettings(notificationOptions)
        application.registerForRemoteNotifications()

        // Seam3 configuring
        if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
            let storeDescriptionType = self.persistentContainer.persistentStoreCoordinator.persistentStores.first?.type
            if storeDescriptionType == SMStore.type {
                print("Store is SMStore")
                self.smStore = self.persistentContainer.persistentStoreCoordinator.persistentStores.first as? SMStore
            }
        } else {
            let storeDescriptionType = self.managedObjectContext.persistentStoreCoordinator?.persistentStores.first?.type
            if storeDescriptionType == SMStore.type {
                print("Store is SMStore")
                print()
                self.smStore = self.managedObjectContext.persistentStoreCoordinator?.persistentStores.first as? SMStore
            }
        }

        // Save sync status after sync is finished
        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(forName: Notification.Name(rawValue: SMStoreNotification.SyncDidFinish), object: nil, queue: nil) { notification in

            print("SyncDidFinish")
            if notification.userInfo != nil {
                let appDelegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate
                appDelegate.smStore?.triggerSync(complete: true)
            }

            self.viewContext.refreshAllObjects()
        }

        return true
    }

I have this code for refresh TableView:

override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewWillAppear(animated)
        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(forName: Notification.Name(rawValue: SMStoreNotification.SyncDidFinish), object: nil, queue: nil) { notification in
            self.reloadFRC()
        }

 func reloadFRC() {
        do {  
              try fetchedResultController.performFetch()
        }
        catch {
            print(error)
        }
   }

Maybe FRC update table view incorrect. I have 2 section in FetchedResultController. After deleting on first device, on second device app crashed and i see new section on logs.

Sorry for my bad English.

@Metman Hi. Offtopic, but I can see you have taken my code for migration. There is critical error for iOS 8-9: if seamStoreExists { ... try coordinator.addPersistentStore(ofType: NSSQLiteStoreType, configurationName: nil, at: newURL, options: options)

There should be SMStore.type instead of NSSQLiteStoreType.

[Metman]

Hello Denis. Thank you :). I edided my code. Do you using FetchedResultController? Sync correct after deleting?

PS Предположу что вы говорите по-русски. После удаления новая секция создается с пустым объектом :)

[DJ-Glock]

@Metman Can you give me your email to discuss?

Yes. metallomaniac666@me.com
