NSFetchedResultsController XCode 7 issue

Question

Xcode 7 beta 6 and and NSFetchedResultsController gave me headache today. If I compile same(with Swift 2 fixes) code with Xcode 6, program works on device and simulators(iOS 7,

Answer 1

This seems to be happening to me when running on Sim/Device < iOS9 using Xcode 7 beta 6:

2015-09-01 11:39:05.683 Diabetes Pal[15038:245613] *** Assertion failure in 
-[UITableView _endCellAnimationsWithContext:], /SourceCache/UIKit_Sim/UIKit-3347.44.2/UITableView.m:1623
2015-09-01 11:39:14.954 Diabetes Pal[15038:245613] CoreData: error: Serious application error.  
An exception was caught from the delegate of NSFetchedResultsController during a call to 
-controllerDidChangeContent:.  Invalid update: invalid number of rows in section 0.  The number of rows contained in an existing section after the update (4) must be equal to the number of rows contained in that section before the update (4), plus or minus the number of rows inserted or deleted from that section (1 inserted, 0 deleted) and plus or minus the number of rows moved into or out of that section (0 moved in, 0 moved out). with userInfo (null)
Diabetes Pal(15038,0x33291d4) malloc: *** mach_vm_map(size=1048576) failed (error code=3)
*** error: can't allocate region securely
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

A possible workaround is to not animate the changes (until this is fixed):

//MARK: - fetched results controller delegate

func controllerWillChangeContent(controller: NSFetchedResultsController) {
    let ios9 = NSOperatingSystemVersion(majorVersion: 9, minorVersion: 0, patchVersion: 0)
    if NSProcessInfo().isOperatingSystemAtLeastVersion(ios9) {
        tableView?.beginUpdates()
    }
}

func controller(controller: NSFetchedResultsController, didChangeSection sectionInfo: NSFetchedResultsSectionInfo, atIndex sectionIndex: Int, forChangeType type: NSFetchedResultsChangeType) {        
    let ios9 = NSOperatingSystemVersion(majorVersion: 9, minorVersion: 0, patchVersion: 0)
    if NSProcessInfo().isOperatingSystemAtLeastVersion(ios9) == false {
        return
    } //[... rest of delegate implementation ...]
}

func controller(controller: NSFetchedResultsController, didChangeObject anObject: AnyObject, atIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath?, forChangeType type: NSFetchedResultsChangeType, newIndexPath: NSIndexPath?) {

    let ios9 = NSOperatingSystemVersion(majorVersion: 9, minorVersion: 0, patchVersion: 0)
    if NSProcessInfo().isOperatingSystemAtLeastVersion(ios9) == false {
        return
    }//[... rest of delegate implementation ...] 
}

func controllerDidChangeContent(controller: NSFetchedResultsController) {
    let ios9 = NSOperatingSystemVersion(majorVersion: 9, minorVersion: 0, patchVersion: 0)
    if NSProcessInfo().isOperatingSystemAtLeastVersion(ios9) == false {
        tableView?.reloadData()
        return
    }
    tableView?.endUpdates()
}
