When I tried to port TYF to iPhone and Objective-C and AJRDatabase, that's what 
I ran into.
I wrote an adaptor for SQLite, that worked, and got the Model into the iPhone 
and that worked, database reads into EO classes worked. But when I tried to 
track (I did re-write some of AJRDatabase) an error in the update cycle within 
EOModel I got busted, it broke me.

And I did not find the port of my Java, there's a lot of business logic, into 
Objective-C, which I had never used before, to be that hard. I would expect 
Swift to be better? I don't think wotaskd would be hard to do.
