I have created a project in XCode and then created a User model with a firstName and lastName properties (strings). Then I go to my nib (xib actually) and add an ArrayController and set the mode to Entity and the EntityName to User to use my user model. I check the Prepares Content and Editable check boxes. The app will run at this point, but doesn't do much yet. But then I try to set the Managed Object Context and bind to File's Owner and set Model Key Path to managedObjectContext. Once I do this, the app no longer runs... it just bounces in the dock. I am following the directions from a tutorial so I think I am doing this right. Can anyone please help? Thanks....
Got a tip for us?

The app is not document based... is this a problem? I don't want multiple docs... just 1. Here's what the console says....

the easiest way to set up core data....
Create a new project of "core data document based spotlight importer" type. (name might not be exactly that)
Edit your model, adding all your properties and all that. Save.
Open mydocument.xib and delete the label on the window.
Drag a core data entity from the library into the window. Select your project and data model, and fool around with the options after that.
When you finish, it will give you an array, or more if necessary. All the bindings will be done for you, and you can inspect them if you wish to learn from them. You will have all this stuff set up, and all you have to do is build and run now!

^^ You don't want the spotlight one.
The reason you're having true is that you are sending the managedObjectContext request to the wrong object/binding. But I'm not sure why its doing that...

I've figured it out. The problem is that you're binding the Array Controller to File's Owner… but File's Owner is used primarily only for document-based applications. If you look in your Interface Builder doc window, there should automatically be an appName_AppDelegate object (I'm using Snow Leopard, YMMV). Simply bind the Array Controller's Managed Object Context to this AppDelegate object instead of to File's Owner.
I was having the same problem, and this worked for me.
Thanks @Eraserhead!
