iOS Build a Selfie App with Swift 2 Saving and Displaying Selfies Displaying Photos

Could not cast value of type 'NSManagedObject_Photo_' (0x608000058360) to 'FaceSnap.Photo' (0x106227db0).

Received this error message after clicking on "Save" button.

I followed the code provided by Pasan except for changes due to Swift 3.

Code as follows:

class func photo(withImage image: UIImage) -> Photo {
    let photo = NSEntityDescription.insertNewObject(forEntityName: Photo.entityName, into: CoreDataController.sharedInstance.managedObjectContext) as! Photo

    photo.date = NSDate().timeIntervalSince1970

    photo.image = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 1.0)! as NSData

    return photo
}

This should solve your problem:

go to the model data, select the Photo Entity, show utilities (the right sidebar), than navigate to model data inspector and make sure that you Class Module is set to Current Product Model

This is my working code

class func photo(withImage image: UIImage) -> Photo {
        let photo = NSEntityDescription.insertNewObject(forEntityName: entityName, into: CoreDataController.sharedInstance.managedObjectContext) as! Photo

        photo.date = Date().timeIntervalSince1970
        photo.image = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 1.0)!

        return photo
    }
