CoreData: warning: Unable to load class named

This warning is one of the quirks we have to deal with while the details of the Swift implementation are being ironed out. The warning occurs spuriously, i.e. your setup might work even if you do not follow the steps outlined below.

I have been able to get rid of it in most cases by making sure that the class is set correctly in the model editor. Unlike in many other SOF posts (including answers to this question), the suggestion to include the module name (like MyApp.Shows) has not helped me.

Make sure you check these three items:

1.
Version that works up to Xcode 7 beta 3

Up to XCode7 b3

Notice that I corrected your entity name to the more appropriate singular.

Version that works for Swift 2.0 in Xcode 7.1
(Should work for Xcode 7 beta 4 and above)

You need to delete the text “Current Product Module” in Module!

From Xcode7 beta 3

2.
You should also follow the frequent recommendation to include

@objc(Show)

just above your class.

Note: If you are using Xcode 7 beta 4 or later, this step is optional.

3.
Also make sure to cast the created managed object to the proper class, as the default would be just NSManagedObject.

var newShow = NSEntityDescription.insertNewObjectForEntityForName("Show", 
                 inManagedObjectContext: context) as Show
