    <p>Our table view controllers use an <code>NSFetchedResultsController</code> to show data from Core Data. We download new data in the background. When an entity is modified in the new data, on iOS 5.1.1 phone, we see that treated as a new row in the table instead of an update. Cannot duplicate on the iOS 5.1 simulator or an iOS 6 device.</p> <p>The <code>UIApplicationDelegate</code> creates a <code>NSManagedObjectContext</code> with concurrency type <code>NSMainQueueConcurrencyType</code>. Our <code>UITableViewController</code> implements <code>NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate</code>. In <code>viewWillAppear</code> we go fetch new data. In the method getting data, we create a second <code>NSManagedObjectContext</code> with concurrenty Type <code>NSPrivateQueueConcurrencyType</code>. We do a <code>performBlock</code> on that new context, and do the network call and json parsing. There's a <code>NSFetchRequest</code> to get the previous data, so we can delete the old objects, or modify any existing entities with the same id. After modify the existing entity or creating new ones, we then <code>deleteObject</code> the old entity objects. Then we save this private context. Then on the parent context, do a <code>performBlock</code> to save the changes there.</p> <p>On iOS5.1, the table is incorrect. If we change on of the objects, instead of being modified, it is added to the table as a new row. If we leave this controller and come back to it, getting new data, it shows the right amount.</p> <p>AppDelegate.m</p> <pre><code>- (void)saveContext { [self.privateWriterContext performBlock:^{ NSError *error = nil; [self.privateWriterContext save:&amp;error]; // Handle error...

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
