My app makes updates in background thread then saves context changes.
And in main context there is a table view that works with NSFetchedResultsController.
For some time updates work correctly, but then exception is thrown.
To check this I've added NSLog(@"%@", [self.controller fetchedObjects]); to -controllerDidChangeContent:.
Here is what I got:

Faulted object (0xe972610) here causes crash. I've logged data during
update & before saving. This object is in updatedObjects only. Why can this method return "bad" object?
(Moreover, during updates this object is affected almost each
update. And only after some passes becomes "bad" one).
P.S.: I use RestKit to manage CoreData.
UPDATED:
The exception was got, when I did smth. like this:
for (PRBattle *battle in [self.controller fetchedObjects) {
switch (battle.statusScalar) {
case ...
default:
[battle willAccessValueForKey:nil];
NSAssert1(NO, @"Unexpected battle status found: %@", battle);
}
}
The exception is on line with -willAccessValueForKey:. Scalar status for battle is enum, that is bind to integer values 1..4. I've mentioned all possible values in switch's cases (above default:). And the last one has break;. So this one is possible only when battle.statusScalar returns non-enum value.
Status scalar implementation in PRBattle:
- (PRBattleStatuses)statusScalar
{
[self willAccessValueForKey:@"statusScalar"];
PRBattleStatuses result = (PRBattleStatuses)[self.status integerValue];
[self didAccessValueForKey:@"statusScalar"];
return result;
}
And battle.status has validation rules:
- min-value: 1
- max-value: 4
- default: no value
And the last thing - debug log:
