Question

Trying to add Simperium to my existing app, I get a NSAssertion error:

(gdb) po $eax
Simperium couldn t load member data (unsupported type)

Stack trace:

What are the supported types? Are binary data supported? My app uses "Allows external storage" for binary data. Is that supported?

How can I find out more info?

UPDATE:

Extending Simperiums Simpletodo example and adding a new entity with binary data attribute leads to the same error:

Update^2:

Simperium starts sync after changing superclass of entity with binary data to non NSManagedObject class.

Answer 1

Simperium s support for the binary type in Core Data is currently undocumented and limited. To prevent Simperium from seeing any particular attribute (including binary attributes, which aren t yet fully supported), you can add a User Info parameter to that attribute.

Highlight the attribute in the model editor, open the inspector pane, and add a User Info parameter. Set the key to spDisableSync and the value to 1. This should allow the rest of that entity to be used successfully with Simperium (if you need it).
