Adaptation of Apple's "Core Data Recipes" sample app using Couchbase Lite as the backing store

Couchbase Lite Core Data Sample App

This project demonstrates how to adapt existing Core Data-based code to use Couchbase Lite as its backing store and add data synchronization to a remote server.

It's based on Apple's "iPhoneCoreDataRecipes" sample application that's provided as part of the iOS SDK. Actually, "based on" may be an exaggeration; it is that sample, except with a handful of changes to use Couchbase Lite.

The changes are all in the source file RecipesAppDelegate.m and are delimited inside #if USE_COUCHBASE ... #endif blocks to make them easy to find. They relate to:

• Creating the NSManagedObjectModel
• Creating the NSPersistentStoreCoordinator
• Starting replication/synchronization

Setup

Requirements: Xcode 4.6 or later. Devices must be running iOS 6 or later.

1. Download Couchbase Lite for iOS.
2. Copy CouchbaseLite.framework into the Extras directory of this project folder.
3. Also copy CBLIncrementalStore.h and CBLIncrementalStore.m from the downloaded "Extras" subfolder into the Extras directory of this project folder. (NOTE: In Couchbase Lite beta 3 these files were accidentally omitted. You can download them from Github. Sorry!)
4. Open Recipes.xcodeproj
5. Build and run!
