IOS NSFileManager copying but file doesn't respond until the next load?

From the bahaviour you describe (i.e. You restart the app, then it finds the copied database) it sounds a bit like you're maybe missing a crucial database open/close call somewhere.

The answer was dispatch_async on the main thread and then double checking the cached data and reloading it if needed. Corrected code.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
