It would be helpful to the community if you could add to your question to explain what you're trying to achieve, what you think caused the error and any steps you've already taken to resolve the issue. But Welcome! — edparry
I can't see managedObjecttContext = [[NSManagedObjectContext alloc]init]; Did you create it in some place of your code? — Giuseppe Mosca
the managedObjectContext had been initialised at AppDelegate.m provided by the core-data template. Which was set by the [RootViewControler setManagedObjectContext:[self managedObjectContext]] ... property of managedObjectContext of RootViewController has been declared already from the RootViewController file.. I need helllpppppp... — moses

Reason to Exception throw was: Using the insertNewObjectForEntityForName:@"RandomDate" inManagedObjectContext:managedObjectContext in the FecthresultControllern instead of using enityForname: InManagedObjectContext ...
