RHExtendedManagedObject: able to store additional data at runtime without changing the datamodel

[chriscdn]

I finally added the methods to fetch in a background thread and return the results in the main thread. I'm still considering RHExtendedManagedObject if and how I'd like to integrate it.

Hi Chris,

I noticed, thanks.

As for RHExtendedManagedObject, the reason I added that is because we have an app that is constantly evolving, features are added, removed a version later, added back 2 versions later and so on. Ideally data is preserved between all these versions. It communicates with a 3rd party API and there’s a base data model but sometimes the 3rd party makes special additions for a specific feature and it’s really impractical to constantly migrate the data model for every single version. RHExtendedManagedObject has proven to be a very good solution for this specific case but I can imagine the use cases are limited.

Also, you’ve probably seen the Core Data keynote on WWDC a few weeks back, Apple finally added background fetching themselves as well.

Greetings,
David
