Doesn't save editing text in UITextView - ios

I have to ViewControllers and two classes MasterViewController.swift and LoginViewController.swift. In first class I have tableView in which you can add record and it open new ViewController with class DetailViewController.swift in with is textView in which I can add text and when I go back to tableView it must save my text, but when I do it it doesn't save.

If sectionNameKeyPath is not nil I cannot start my app

Whenever I try to run my application when my sectionNameKeyPath is not nil, it crashes with the error
* Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSRangeException', reason: '* -[__NSArray0 objectAtIndex:]: index 0 beyond bounds for empty NSArray'
but whenever I set that to nil it works and I add some data, quit the app, set the sectionNameKeyPath back to my Core Data attribute, it now works just fine! This is the 7th hour today I'm fighting with this bug and I just can't solve it. What is wrong in my code?

No NSArray being used, but getting "fatal error: NSArray element failed to match the Swift Array Element type"

I'm using Swift 3 in Xcode 8 beta 6, targeting iOS 10.0. I am implementing a simple UISearchController in a UITableView backed with an NSFetchedResultsController. I have two properties
var patients = [Patient]() // Assigned to fetchedResultsController.fetchedObjects when the fetch is performed, and when the moc is updated.
var searchResults = [Patient]()
In my updateSearchResults(for searchController: UISearchController) method, I do this:
func updateSearchResults(for searchController: UISearchController) {
if let searchText = searchController.searchBar.text {
self.searchResults = people.filter {
return $0.lastName!.localizedCaseInsensitiveContains(searchText)
}
Using breakpoints, I've identified that the code gets as far as the filter method, but doesn't enter it, failing with:
fatal error: NSArray element failed to match the Swift Array Element type
I've looked at a bunch of the other SO questions involving this error, but none have helped. I've also tried explicitly casting people in the updateSearchResults method, but no luck. Thoughts?

Cells become blank when scrolling tableview (swift)

I have a strange problem where my cells in the tableview are not consistent. Sometimes they will show as a blank cell and other times they will load with the correct data. See the GIF below.
Notice the blank cell in section 1 changes each time.
I also have this problem when adding new cells to the tableview, but closing and reopening the app always fixes it. It just doesn't load correctly when getting added... but sometimes it does load correctly. See GIF Below.
I've been recommended to use the reloadData(), but that doesn't seem to help anything at all. I'm hoping someone will see this that will know what to do.

#Jason Brady, I have just downloaded your code.
There is no problem with you core data, array or table view.
When i run an app in iPhone 5 / iPhone 6 / iPhone 6 Plus with 8.1 it is working fine, none of cell or add button is getting hidden.
But with same devices with 9.2 there is a problem.
Solutions
(1) Custom cell with dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier
let cell : ListItemsTVCell! = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("listContentCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! ListItemsTVCell
(2) DidselectedRowAtIndex - Here you will get information at cell selection, So data is going perfectly.
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath)
{
print("Select")
let myCell = tableView.cellForRowAtIndexPath(indexPath) as! ListItemsTVCell
print(myCell.itemName.text)
}
(3) Problem is with AutoLayout, when i disabled it, all label went to -X positions, when i have aligned it properly using auto resizing, it is now working fine. ( See attached screen shot )
So you need to check with AutoLayout, why it is giving problem in iOS 9 and newer.
Refer link
I hope you can figure out and resolve further.
All the best.

Instead of using
tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("listContentCell", forIndexPath: indexPath)
try using
tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("listContentCell")

New table view cell shows as a blank cell

I've been working on an app, and ran into some problems, so I rebuilt it as simple as possible to find where the error happens at. My code uses CoreData, and my first example has the code for adding new items inside the plus button in the navigation bar. In other words, there is no change of view or segue. This version works as I would expect it to. See the following GIF.
But when I make a new view controller that adds the new item, I end up getting a blank cell instead. I have the exact same code behind the add button that I had in the plus button. And I just use a show segue to get from the tableview to a normal view controller. But if I quit the app and start it back up, it all shows correctly. See below.
If you are curious, I have the section it is adding to being a random number between 1 and 3. My guess is there is something I need to do with that segue but I don't have clue what it is. I'm very new at Swift so I have lots to learn.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me. I think if I can solve this problem, I can finally move forward with developing my app. Thank you again. Below is my code for the case where it has a segue.

Reload TableView Data is viewWillAppear method as :
override func viewWillAppear() {
super.viewWillAppear()
do {
try frc.performFetch()
} catch {
print("Failed to perform inital fetch")

As when you are navigating back from viewController you are not telling the TableViewController to update tableView so do it in viewWillAppear as it will fire when you are popping navController to come back.
Here is the code that fixed the problem for me. I only changed the Table View Controller Code:

Muhammad's answer will surely solve the problem as it will trigger the reload of the table view every time viewWillAppear will call. But the problem is that is not a very good way of doing this.
You see, viewWillAppear gets called a lot of times. It is a UIViewController life cycle method. If you are going to the second view controller and coming back without pressing the add button, it will still reload the UITableView. Now, the point is not whether it is an expensive operation or not, the point is that viewWillAppear is not the place to do that kind of a stuff. What if you had to do something else before reloading the cell, you may not want to put it all there and risk creating bugs.
A good way of achieving this is through delegates (call backs). Read up more on this and you will see that it gives you a much needed flexibility.

Changing NSManagedObject values in new viewcontroller

I have a list of customers in a UITableView managed by an NSFetchedResultsController, class is called CustomersViewController. When I select a customer, a new view controller CustomerDetailViewController is loaded which displays their details and then a list of radiators related to them in another UITableView managed by an NSFetchedResultsController. The only editing I need on the tables is Deletion and this works fine in both tables managed by NSFetchedResultsController.
I want to be able to edit the customers details, so I have an edit button in the NavigationBar that segues to EditCustomerViewController from CustomerDetailViewController. As with previous segues the managedObjectContext and the managedObject (the selected customer) is passed through successfully and I can access all the objects values in the EditCustomerViewController, what I can't seem to do is edit them without getting these errors:
2016-02-18 12:30:08.349 Radiator Calculator[13825:2113477] *** Assertion failure in -[UITableView _endCellAnimationsWithContext:], /BuildRoot/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/UIKit_Sim/UIKit-3512.29.5/UITableView.m:1720
2016-02-18 12:30:08.351 Radiator Calculator[13825:2113477] CoreData: error: Serious application error. An exception was caught from the delegate of NSFetchedResultsController during a call to -controllerDidChangeContent:. Invalid update: invalid number of rows in section 0. The number of rows contained in an existing section after the update (2) must be equal to the number of rows contained in that section before the update (2), plus or minus the number of rows inserted or deleted from that section (1 inserted, 0 deleted) and plus or minus the number of rows moved into or out of that section (0 moved in, 0 moved out). with userInfo (null)
From this error I am guessing the issue lies with the NSFetchedResultsController not liking me changing the value in the EditCustomerViewController two viewcontrollers ahead of where it was instantiated. Given that there is no table in this view controller I haven't set it up.

The application keeps running until I navigate back to the CustomersViewController when it finally crashes and I can briefly see that the customer name has changed in the list - it hasn't changed in the CustomerDetailViewController however.
Any help would be great, apologies for any lack of "swifty-ness" (I read that's a thing) - this is my first larger app in swift and iOS so I'm still learning as I go.
