[SOLVED] How can I check what is stored in my Core Data Database?

How can I check what is stored in my Core Data Database?

I am making an app that relies on Core Data. I am able to enter data into a text field and store it.

But I need to know if the data is being stored.

I am trying to make a detailView to my tableView and I am not getting any results. Now I am wondering is that because I am doing something wrong with my code, or is the data nto being stored properly.

How can I see what is stored in the app's CoreData database?

Solution

If you use sqlite as the storage media for Core Data, you can run your app in simulator and try to check the database file which is located in the sandbox's Library folder.

The path shall be something like: ~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/5.1/Applications/3BF8A4B3-4959-4D8F-AC12-DB8EF4C3B6E1/Library/YourAppName.sqlite

To open the sqlite file, you need a tool. I use a free tool called Liya (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/liya/id455484422?mt=12).
