how to solve The model used to open the store is incompatible with the one used to create the store error on swift

It happened when I changed the model after several struggling during app working ( using old model)

how to solve.

I changed the simulator from 5s to 5. 

it works.

How to make an notification on swift

to make a notification app is simple.

1, add code on ViewContrller.swift like this.

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {

        super.viewDidLoad()

        // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.

    

        var localNotification:UILocalNotification = UILocalNotification()

        localNotification.alertAction = "Testing notifications"

        localNotification.alertBody = "hello world! "

        localNotification.fireDate = NSDate(timeIntervalSinceNow: 30)

        UIApplication.sharedApplication().scheduleLocalNotification(localNotification)

    

    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {

        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()

        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.

    }

}

2, add code on AppDelegate.swift like this.

    func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {

        // Override point for customization after application launch.

        application.registerUserNotificationSettings(UIUserNotificationSettings(forTypes: UIUserNotificationType.Sound |

            UIUserNotificationType.Alert | UIUserNotificationType.Badge, categories:nil))

        

        return true

    }

3, run your simulator. Don't forget to waiting at home screen.

I referred here
https://www.topcoder.com/blog/notifications-in-ios-8-using-swift/

how to fix an error of notification " time zone = (null), repeat interval = 0, repeat count = UILocalNotificationInfiniteRepeatCount, next fire date = user info = (null)} with an alert but haven't received permission from the user to display alerts by swift

When I tried to make a notification, I encountered this error showing on debug area.

(shows your timezone)  time zone = (null), repeat interval = 0, repeat count = UILocalNotificationInfiniteRepeatCount, next fire date = (shows your fire date)  user info = (null)} with an alert but haven't received permission from the user to display alerts

It means iOS8 needs user's permission.

How to solve;

add code in func application( application : ---- ) on AppDelegate.swift like following.

func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {

        // Override point for customization after application launch.

        application.registerUserNotificationSettings(UIUserNotificationSettings(forTypes: UIUserNotificationType.Sound |

            UIUserNotificationType.Alert | UIUserNotificationType.Badge, categories:nil))

        

        return true

    }

How to add Core Data to existence project on swift

First, Open your APPDelegate.swift and import core data by writing as

import UIKit

import CoreData

Next, add Core data file by click "File" -> "New" -> "File" -> core data on your OS version.

Next, add  NSManagedObjectContext, NSManagedObjectModel and NSPersistentStoreCoordinator to your app delegate to AppDelegate.swift 

You need to change the name of your project name and Data model name.

This is the standard code which is generated when you start your new project.

    

    // MARK: - Core Data stack

    

    lazy var applicationDocumentsDirectory: NSURL = {

       

        let urls = NSFileManager.defaultManager().URLsForDirectory(.DocumentDirectory, inDomains: .UserDomainMask)

        return urls[urls.count-1] as! NSURL

        }()

    

    lazy var managedObjectModel: NSManagedObjectModel = {

   

        let modelURL = NSBundle.mainBundle().URLForResource("DATAMODELNAME", withExtension: "momd")!

        return NSManagedObjectModel(contentsOfURL: modelURL)!

        }()

    

    lazy var persistentStoreCoordinator: NSPersistentStoreCoordinator? = {

    

        var coordinator: NSPersistentStoreCoordinator? = NSPersistentStoreCoordinator(managedObjectModel: self.managedObjectModel)

        let url = self.applicationDocumentsDirectory.URLByAppendingPathComponent("PROJECTNAME.sqlite")

        var error: NSError? = nil

        var failureReason = "There was an error creating or loading the application's saved data."

        if coordinator!.addPersistentStoreWithType(NSSQLiteStoreType, configuration: nil, URL: url, options: nil, error: &error) == nil {

            coordinator = nil

        

            var dict = [String: AnyObject]()

            dict[NSLocalizedDescriptionKey] = "Failed to initialize the application's saved data"

            dict[NSLocalizedFailureReasonErrorKey] = failureReason

            dict[NSUnderlyingErrorKey] = error

            error = NSError(domain: "YOUR_ERROR_DOMAIN", code: 9999, userInfo: dict)

       

            NSLog("Unresolved error \(error), \(error!.userInfo)")

            abort()

        }

        

        return coordinator

        }()

    

    lazy var managedObjectContext: NSManagedObjectContext? = {

   

        let coordinator = self.persistentStoreCoordinator

        if coordinator == nil {

            return nil

        }

        var managedObjectContext = NSManagedObjectContext()

        managedObjectContext.persistentStoreCoordinator = coordinator

        return managedObjectContext

        }()

    

    // MARK: - Core Data Saving support

    

    func saveContext () {

        if let moc = self.managedObjectContext {

            var error: NSError? = nil

            if moc.hasChanges && !moc.save(&error) {

    

                NSLog("Unresolved error \(error), \(error!.userInfo)")

                abort()

            }

        }

    }

Next, add "self.saveContext()" to applicationWillTerminate 

    func applicationWillTerminate(application: UIApplication) {

        // Called when the application is about to terminate. Save data if appropriate. See also applicationDidEnterBackground:.

        self.saveContext()

it's done!

How to fix the error " Unsupported Configuration Scene is unreachable due to lack of entry points and does not have an identifier for runtime access via -instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier"

"Unsupported Configuration     Scene is unreachable due to lack of entry points and does not have an identifier  for runtime access via -instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier"

I encounter it and didn't know what's happen.
but i found this is very common error when we use screen transition.
Xcode complain that there are no initial screen has been assigned.

if you are using "Navigation Controller" , then assign it as a " initial View Controller"
for assign, just check the checkbox as below.

easy.

How to create transition on swift

prepare two view controller on storyboard.
set button on first one.
ctrl + drag from the button to second view controller
select "show"

that's all.
this is primitive  way but we don't need any code nor navigation controller.

How to show Map on swift.

very simple.

add "MapKit View" from object library
add "MapKit framework" from Build Phases, " Link Binary With Libraries" by click "+" and chose MapKit framework.
add "import MapKit" on ViewController.swift


that's all.
great is MapKit framework.

How to Drop the Pin to the Map on swift

write in the "override fun viewDidLoad(){

        let AAA = MKPointAnnotation()

        let centerCoordinate = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 10.79661075, longitude: 106.69064892)

            AAA.coordinate = centerCoordinate

            AAA.title = "test"

            AAA.subtitle = "abced"

        self.theMap.addAnnotation(AAA)

"addAnnotation" helps you to drop the pin on the map.

*don't forget to declare the Map = MKMapView with import MapKit.

isEqualToString have already been over on swift?

an error message showed that :
"String does not have  member named isEqualToString"

checked internet and found below.

I just change the "isEqualToString" to "is Equal", no showing error anymore but not sure it is correct or not.

With Swift you don't need anymore to check the equality with isEqualToString You can now use == Example:  let x = "hello" let y = "hello" let isEqual = (x == y)

            audioPlayer.enableRate=true

with this code

1 

File -> add new file -> select audio file -> move to "supporting files " on Navigator.

the file is located to "movie_quote"

    @IBAction func FastButton(sender: UIButton) {

        audioPlayer.stop()

        audioPlayer.rate = 2.0
