+entityForName: nil is not a legal NSManagedObjectContext parameter searching for entity name 'AppData'

Question

The persistant container goes nil. When I run program I get this error : Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '+entityForName: nil is not a legal NSManagedObjectContext parameter searching for entity name 'AppData'

I have found similar questions on stackoverflow but haven't got any problem solving answer that is why I'm posting this question again.

Here is my code :

-(void)saveData
{

    NSManagedObjectContext *localContext=((AppDelegate*)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate]).persistentContainer.viewContext;
//    [self initPer];



//    UIApplication *app = [UIApplication sharedApplication];
//    AppDelegate *delg = (AppDelegate *)app.delegate;
//    NSManagedObjectContext *localContext = delg.getManagedObj;
//    AppData *appData1= [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:@"AppData" inManagedObjectContext:localContext];



//    NSManagedObjectContext *localContext = _del.persistentContainer.viewContext;
    AppData *appDta = [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:@"AppData" inManagedObjectContext:localContext];


    NSString *value = [valueArray1 componentsJoinedByString:@" "];
    NSString *commandKey = [keyArray1 componentsJoinedByString:@" "];

    NSMutableDictionary *dictionary = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
    [dictionary setObject:value forKey: nsDate];

    NSLog(@"%@", dictionary);


    appDta.key = commandKey;
    appDta.details = dictionary;

}

You can see that some lines are commented, I kept it to show that I've also tried it but haven't got any result.

As mentioned HERE

Set

AppDelegate.h :

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <CoreData/CoreData.h>

@interface AppDelegate : UIResponder <UIApplicationDelegate>

@property (strong, nonatomic) UIWindow *window;

@property (readonly, strong) NSPersistentContainer *persistentContainer;
@property (readonly, strong, nonatomic) NSManagedObjectContext *managedObjectContext;
@property (readonly, strong, nonatomic) NSManagedObjectModel *managedObjectModel;
@property (readonly, strong, nonatomic) NSPersistentStoreCoordinator *persistentStoreCoordinator;


- (void)saveContext;

- (NSManagedObjectContext *)getManagedObj;

AppDelegate.m :

#pragma mark - Core Data stack

@synthesize persistentContainer = _persistentContainer;
@synthesize managedObjectContext = _managedObjectContext;
@synthesize persistentStoreCoordinator = _persistentStoreCoordinator;
@synthesize managedObjectModel = _managedObjectModel;


- (NSManagedObjectModel *)managedObjectModel {
    // The managed object model for the application. It is a fatal error for the application not to be able to find and load its model.
    if (_managedObjectContext != nil) {
        return _managedObjectModel;
    }
    NSURL *modelURL = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"Model" withExtension:@"momd"];
    _managedObjectModel = [[NSManagedObjectModel alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:modelURL];
    return _managedObjectModel;
}

- (NSURL *)applicationDocumentsDirectory {
    return [[[NSFileManager defaultManager] URLsForDirectory:NSDocumentDirectory inDomains:NSUserDomainMask] lastObject];
}
- (NSPersistentStoreCoordinator *)persistentStoreCoordinator {
    // The persistent store coordinator for the application. This implementation creates and returns a coordinator, having added the store for the application to it.
    if (_persistentStoreCoordinator != nil) {
        return _persistentStoreCoordinator;
    }

    _persistentStoreCoordinator = [[NSPersistentStoreCoordinator alloc] initWithManagedObjectModel:[self managedObjectModel]];
    NSURL *storeURL = [[self applicationDocumentsDirectory] URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"Model.sqlite"];
    NSLog(@"DB Path==> %@",storeURL);
    NSError *error = nil;
    NSString *failureReason = @"There was an error creating or loading the application's saved data.";
    if (![_persistentStoreCoordinator addPersistentStoreWithType:NSSQLiteStoreType configuration:nil URL:storeURL options:nil error:&error])
    {
        // Report any error we got.
        NSMutableDictionary *dict = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
        dict[NSLocalizedDescriptionKey] = @"Failed to initialize the application's saved data";
        dict[NSLocalizedFailureReasonErrorKey] = failureReason;
        dict[NSUnderlyingErrorKey] = error;
        error = [NSError errorWithDomain:@"YOUR_ERROR_DOMAIN" code:9999 userInfo:dict];
        // Replace this with code to handle the error appropriately.
        // abort() causes the application to generate a crash log and terminate. You should not use this function in a shipping application, although it may be useful during development.
        NSLog(@"Unresolved error %@, %@", error, [error userInfo]);
        abort();
    }

    return _persistentStoreCoordinator;
}


- (NSManagedObjectContext *)getManagedObj {
    // Returns the managed object context for the application (which is already bound to the persistent store coordinator for the application.)
    if (_managedObjectContext != nil) {
        return _managedObjectContext;
    }

    NSPersistentStoreCoordinator *coordinator = [self persistentStoreCoordinator];
    if (!coordinator) {
        return nil;
    }
    _managedObjectContext = [[NSManagedObjectContext alloc] initWithConcurrencyType:NSMainQueueConcurrencyType];
    [_managedObjectContext setPersistentStoreCoordinator:coordinator];
    return _managedObjectContext;
}

Then try with your commented code like as under :

    AppDelegate *objAppDel = (AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication]delegate];
    NSManagedObjectContext *context = [objAppDel managedObjectContext];
    AppData *objAppData = [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:@"AppData" inManagedObjectContext:context];
