How can I ship my app with a pre-populated Core Data database?

Question

My app uses Core Data and I want some default entries to be inside. What\'s best practices of how to do that?

Answer 1

I would just create a database and put add it to my target so that Xcode copies it into the app bundle. At the first launch just copy it from the app bundle to eg. the documents directory or wherever your app expects the database.
