Core-Data Can't pass managedObjectContext from app delegate to view controller
<p>I'm making a core-data application that is view based.  I can create the managedObjectContext and 'use' it in the app delegate, but can not pass it to the mainviewcontroller.    Probably something simple, but I can't find the problem after looking for quite a while.  The managedObjectModel is nil in the mainviewcontroller.</p>

<p>The log and error is here:</p>
