Swift error when added new entity (Core Data)

Question

I have just created a new xcode project (Master-datail application) with Core Data. After I created a new entity (no code added into controllers) I have tried to open the app on iOS simulator and I got this error

Answer 1

You can't change the Core Data model and continue to use the same persistent store file unless you implement model migration. Apple provides considerable documentation on this. However during app development you can usually just delete the app from the device/simulator and install a new copy. That deletes any existing data, but often that's OK while working on the model.

Answer 2

Whenever there is a change in your core data model whether an entity added or any attribute is changed. Delete the application from the simulator and run it again. It won't crash now.
