My application has two tab bars... Each takes the user to a tableviewcontroller that presents him with a list of items. The first view lets the user record entries in the database. The other tab/view reads from the database and presents those items to the user as well, however, no updates are made to the coreData/persistant store from this second view.
When I add a new item via the first viewcontroller, it shows up perfectly in the view. However, as soon as I tap on the other tab bar to see the new item appear in that viewcontroller, I get the error listed below, and the newly added item does not appear... Note: if I stop the app and reload/re-run it, and start by tapping the 2nd tab-bar, the new item shows up fine, so I know the model is being updated fine.

Any help you can provide would be very appreciated.
I have searched this site and found many instances of this error but none seem to quite fit. I've also seen references inferring that this error I'm seeing is actually a known bug in the Apple code...
* UPDATED INFORMATION *
I've gone back and set break points in the code and am editing the original question with this additional information. When the user adds a new item to the database he is transitioned from the rootview to the listCourses view. The add transaction works flawlessly and the listCourses View UITableView is updated perfectly.
When I click on the other view that also reads data from the same core data model, it's viewcontroller runs through the following sequence but never ends adding the new item to the tableview. Here is the sequence it goes through.
Simulator VC:
- controllerWillChangeContent which runs...
[self.tableView beginUpdates];
- didChangeObject
..with message: NSFetchedResultsChangeUpdate
..which ran:
[self configureCell:[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath]
- controllerDidChangeContent:
[self.tableView endUpdates];
The other viewcontroller that works great, goes through this sequence immediately after the record is added to the database.
ListCourses VC:
- didChangeSection
...with message: NSFetchedResultsChangeInsert
...which ran:
[self.tableView insertSections:[NSIndexSet indexSetWithIndex:sectionIndex] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
- didChangeObject
..with message: NSFetchedResultsChangeInsert
..which ran:
[tableView insertRowsAtIndexPaths:[NSArray arrayWithObject:newIndexPath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
Why does the one viewcontroller get the NSFetchedResultsChangeInsert message but the other one does not?
Here are the delegate methods from the faulty viewcontroller.
// Override to support editing the table view.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

[tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:[NSArray arrayWithObject:indexPath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
}

// Create a new instance of the appropriate class, insert it into the array, and add a new row to the table view
}
}

Thanks, phil
The UITableView sanity checking works like this:
At the line [self.tableView beginUpdates]; the tableView calls your tableView:numberOfRowsInSection: delegate method, which appears to be returning 3. At the line [self.tableView endUpdates]; it calls it again and it seems to be returning 4. Therefore, the tableView is expecting you to insert 1 row between these two lines. In fact, no rows are being inserted so the tableView fails an assertion. (You can see the expected and actual row counts in the assertion message).
The increase from 3 rows to 4 rows shows that your NSFetchedResultsController is noticing the newly inserted Core Data item correctly. What you need to do is put a breakpoint at the start of your controller:didChangeObject:atIndexPath:forChangeType: method and step through it when you switch to the 2nd tab after inserting an item. You should see the NSFetchedResultsChangeInsert: case of the switch statement being performed but this is obviously not happening.
Hopefully, you can figure out why the insertion is not taking place - otherwise come back and let us know what you actually saw when stepping through this method.
EDITED TO ADD:
OK, so your NSFetchedResultsController delegate methods in the 2nd view controller are called when you switch to that tab rather than immediately when the new item is inserted on tab 1. This means that the 2nd view controller is not seeing the insert (which should happen immediately) and is actually responding to some other Core Data update notification later that occurs when you switch to tab 2. The fetched results controller is working with stale information at the beginUpdates line (there are actually 4 items in the result set here not 3). By the time it gets to the endUpdates line it has refreshed its fetch and found an unexpected insert.
The NSFetchedResultsController delegate methods are really designed to update UI in-place while you are making changes AND the controller's view is visible. In your case, you are making changes and THEN displaying the new view controller. The pattern that you really should be using is to refresh the tableview in your viewWillAppear method of controller 2. Something like this should do it:
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
NSError *error = nil;
[resultsController performFetch:&error]; // Refetch data
if (error != nil) {
// handle error
}
[self.tableView reloadData];
}
This will make sure that whenever you switch to tab 2 it is working with fresh data from the model.
