This'll work:

upgrade needs to happen.
NSError *error = nil;

NSManagedObjectModel *newMoM = [[NSManagedObjectModel alloc]

[[NSPersistentStoreCoordinator alloc]

NSDictionary *optionsDictionary =
[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[NSNumber numberWithBool:YES]

id store = [psc addPersistentStoreWithType:NSSQLiteStoreType
configuration:nil
URL:absoluteURL
options:optionsDictionary
error:&error];
if (nil == store) {
[[NSApplication sharedApplication] presentError:error];
}
// Migration has happened.
[psc release];
[newMoM release];
self = [super initWithContentsOfURL:absoluteURL ofType:typeName
error:outError];
return self;
}
Er, I think this is a little bit wrong, because it doesn't handle
errors properly. If you get an error from addPersistentStoreWithType,
you'll report it, then get a secondary error from [super
initWithContentsOfURL:...]. And you can't return early if an error
occurs, because this is an initializer and returning early (without
calling a designated super initializer) will return an uninitialized
MyDocument object which *may* crash your application. Nor can you
return nil -- the NSDocument class reference says it's not allowed.
It's possible that simply calling [super init] before returning self,
after an error, will make this safe, but I still think you're better
off doing the migration in a subclass of NSDocumentController, before
even trying to create the MyDocument object. (The identical migration
code will work there, because it doesn't depend on a MyDocument
instance.) -[NSDocumentController
openDocumentWithContentsOfURL:display:error:] is the method you'd need
to override.
The other consideration to keep in mind is that automation migration
(NSMigratePersistentStoresAutomaticallyOption) is probably going to
end up keeping the whole persistent store in memory (twice -- the old
one and the new one -- plus the property data caches that core data
uses). If your stores are more than a few hundred megabytes, this
might perform *really* badly.
