Discussion This method makes it easy for you to create instances of a given entity without worrying about the details of managed object creation. The method is conceptually similar to the following code example. NSManagedObjectModel *managedObjectModel =         [[context persistentStoreCoordinator] managedObjectModel]; NSEntityDescription *entity =         [[managedObjectModel entitiesByName] objectForKey:entityName]; NSManagedObject *newObject = [[NSManagedObject alloc]             initWithEntity:entity insertIntoManagedObjectContext:context]; return newObject;
