Illegal attempt to establish a relationship 'xyz' between objects in different contexts

Question

I am using Apple\'s CoreDataBooks sample application as a basis for pulling data into a secondary managed object context in the background, and then merging tha

Here, you are trying to establish a relation between two objects which are fetched/created with a different context. Core data won't allow you to establish such relations. To achieve this, you should fetch the second object (you are trying to make a relationship with) with the context of the first object with objectID. Now you should be able to establish a relation between these two objects. For example:

MagicalRecord.saveWithBlock({[unowned self] (localContext: NSManagedObjectContext!) in

    let user = User.MR_createEntityInContext(localContext)!
    .....
    .....
}) //here local context stores data on end of block itself

MagicalRecord.saveWithBlock({[unowned self] (localContext: NSManagedObjectContext!) in

    let address = Address.MR_createEntityInContext(localContext)!
    .....
    .....
    let user = localContext.objectWithID(self.user!.objectID) as! User
    user.address = address
})

Hope this will help you!
