Details are in the comments.
The following code:
// Perform the fetch... NSError *error = nil; if (![[self fetchedResultsController] performFetch:&error]) { NSLog(@"Unresolved error %@, %@", error, [error userInfo]); abort(); } // Confirm that objects were fetched by counting them... NSLog(@"Number of Objects = %i", [[fetchedResultsController fetchedObjects] count]); // Confirm that sections exist by counting them... NSLog(@"Numbers of Sections = %i", [[fetchedResultsController sections] count]); for (id section in [fetchedResultsController sections]) { // Count number of objects in each section // _The fact that this outputs 0 is the first sign of trouble_ NSLog(@"Number of Objects in Section = %i", [section numberOfObjects]); } for (Reminder *reminder in [fetchedResultsController fetchedObjects]) { // Confirm that the objects fetched are in fact real objects // by accessing their "textContent" property... NSLog(@"textContent=%@", reminder.textContent); // Show that the fetched objects are being returned // with a (null) indexPath... // _The second sign of trouble..._ NSLog(@"IndexPath=%@", [fetchedResultsController indexPathForObject:reminder]); } NSUInteger indexArr[] = {0,0}; NSIndexPath *indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathWithIndexes:indexArr length:2]; // _Application crashes on this line because the fetched // objects do not have indexPaths_ Reminder *testReminder = (Reminder *)[fetchedResultsController objectAtIndexPath:indexPath]; NSLog(@"textContent = %@", testReminder.textContent);

Any ideas would be highly appreciated. FYI, the above code works fine in a separate application if I use a different template as a starting point. That is, if I use the "Window-based application" template, the code will fail. If I use a “navigation-based application”, the code works as expected.
Update: TechZen wondered if the problem was caused by my Reminder entity. I thought it was a good idea to look, so I did the following:
Create two standard template applications: Application Window and Navigation Application (both with basic data enabled)
It is copied from the minimum code required from Nav-based for Window-based in order to perform the test described above (to a large extent, this is only the "xcdatamodel" file, the created control file and the way to add test objects).
The above code still does not work in the new reminder-essence window application. (In this new test application, in fact, there is zero code that I myself created (outside the test code), all this is just template code cut and pasted together.)
So now I'm looking for any way to get the above code to run after creating the "window application". Here is the code to run the test using the nav based entity in case someone is interested in trying:
UPDATE Please note that, as TechZen notes below, this code will be broken, no matter what, if you start with an empty database, therefore, if you start with a windowed application, first add several objects to the database, then add the test code.
// Confirm that objects were fetched NSLog(@"Number of Objects = %i", [[fetchedResultsController fetchedObjects] count]); // Confirm that sections exist NSLog(@"Numbers of Sections = %i", [[fetchedResultsController sections] count]); for (id section in [fetchedResultsController sections]) { // Count number of objects in sections // _The fact that this outputs 0 is the first sign of trouble_ NSLog(@"Number of Objects in Section = %i", [section numberOfObjects]); } for (NSManagedObject *managedObject in [fetchedResultsController fetchedObjects]) { // Confirm that the objects fetched are in fact real objects, // by accessing their "timeStamp" property NSLog(@"TimeStamp=%@", [[managedObject valueForKey:@"timeStamp"] description]); // Show that the fetched objects are being returned // with a (null) indexPath // _The second sign of trouble..._ NSLog(@"IndexPath=%@", [fetchedResultsController indexPathForObject:managedObject]); } NSUInteger indexArr[] = {0,0}; NSIndexPath *indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathWithIndexes:indexArr length:2]; // _Application crashes on this line, because the fetched // objects do not have indexPaths_ NSManagedObject *managedObject = [fetchedResultsController objectAtIndexPath:indexPath]; NSLog(@"textContent = %@", [[managedObject valueForKey:@"timeStamp"] description]);
UPDATE Here is the result when using the new cut and paste code

UPDATE . Therefore, I narrowed down this problem to a problem with the SDK version, I now have a project that, if I build with Simulator 3.2, it works and builds with Simulator 3.1.3, it works well. BUT, if I add a UITableViewController and then create using Simulator 3.2, then it works fine. So I created a message to https://stackoverflow.com/a/1366098/ ... to ask a question: if you use NSFetchedResultsController without a UITableViewController, how do you interact with objects? (since IndexPaths are unreliable).
UPDATE This problem is (tentatively) resolved by using - [NSFetchedResultsController fetchedObjects] objectAtIndex:] to access the objects.
