I have this book about Core Data. I am on my second chapter and there's an ongoing project that I followed. The project adds an Organization, and three employees. One of the employee is a leader. I have successfully followed the steps, although there are 4 warnings but it doesn't have an error. I know this should work because I had this same project before I reinstall my OSX.

These are the only codes that are important to the project. Yes, this is a very simple Core Data app.
There's a guide in the book to access the database by using sqlite3.
In Terminal.app:
Input: cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/iPhone\ Simulator
Input: find . -name "Core01.sqlite" –print
Output: ./6.0/Applications/25DB9FAD-6921-4791-9409-FF84F275D8A8/Documents/Core01.sqlite
Input: sqlite3 ./6.0/Applications/25DB9FAD-6921-4791-9409-FF84F275D8A8/Documents/Core01.sqlite
In sqlite3:
Input: sqlite> select Z_PK, ZID, ZLEADER, ZNAME from ZORGANIZATION;
Output: 1|-19904|2|Company, Inc.
Input: sqlite> select Z_PK, ZID, Z2EMPLOYEES, ZNAME from ZPERSON;
Output:
1|6050|2|Jane
2|-28989||John
3|28151|2|Bill
The problem is, the database is empty. Idk what went wrong, nor what I miss.

Answer 1

I think the problem is that you need to call the method -(void)saveContext after you set all the data in -(void)createData
Try this:
-(void)createData
{
NSManagedObject *organization = [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:#"Organization" inManagedObjectContext:self.managedObjectContext];
[organization setValue:#"Company, Inc." forKey:#"name"];
[organization setValue:[NSNumber numberWithInt:[#"Company, Inc." hash]] forKey:#"id"];
NSManagedObject *john = [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:#"Person" inManagedObjectContext:self.managedObjectContext];
[john setValue:#"John" forKey:#"name"];
[john setValue:[NSNumber numberWithInt:[#"John" hash]] forKey:#"id"];
NSManagedObject *jane = [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:#"Person" inManagedObjectContext:self.managedObjectContext];
[jane setValue:#"Jane" forKey:#"name"];
[jane setValue:[NSNumber numberWithInt:[#"Jane" hash]] forKey:#"id"];
NSManagedObject *bill = [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:#"Person" inManagedObjectContext:self.managedObjectContext];
[bill setValue:#"Bill" forKey:#"name"];
[bill setValue:[NSNumber numberWithInt:[#"Bill" hash]] forKey:#"id"];
NSMutableSet *johnsEmployees = [john mutableSetValueForKey:#"employees"];
[johnsEmployees addObject:jane];
[johnsEmployees addObject:bill];
[self saveContext];
}

Answer 2

Unless I missed it in the code, you call [self createData]; but never save the context.
At the end of your createData method, add in the [self saveContext]; call.
