Hi,
Does anybody know how to relate and manage the data I could have in the cloud with coreData?. I am confused trying to define my data model.
Many thanks in advance,
Jorge

Parse and Core Data are two very different concepts. Prase allows you to store your model in the cloud and share information between multiple devices/users. Core Data is used to manage data stored on the device. Typically if you have relationships in your data that are not easily stored in a file (such as a plist or user default) you will use Core Data. Using Core Data does not allow you to share that data between devices it is specific to that device only. If you need to share data between devices you need some place for the data to reside that is accessible by all devices such as Parse or some server backend.
