Creating the Core Data Stack with Backwards Compatibility in Swift

This article explains how to manually create a Core Data stack in Swift for apps that need to support iOS versions earlier than iOS 10, where NSPersistentContainer is unavailable. It breaks down the process into three steps: initializing NSManagedObjectModel, configuring NSPersistentStoreCoordinator, and creating NSManagedObjectContext. The goal is to obtain an NSManagedObjectContext instance for fetch requests and NSFetchedResultsController. Includes code examples for setting up a SQLite persistent store.
