Core Data crash in initWithManagedObjectModel

I've got the following crash log from two testers, different devices (3GS and 4) and versions (4.1 and 4.2 GM):

This is code from the standard Core Data app template, so I changed not much in that area. What I did change was moving from lightweight migrations to passing nil as the options, and deleting previous data model.xcdatamodel, model2.xcdatamodel, ..., model7.xcdatamodel files except for the latest, which I renamed from model7.xcdatamodel to model.xcdatamodel.

The crash does not happen on my test phones, an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 3G, both running 4.2. I asked my testers to delete the app off their iPhones and re-installing it, but the issue is the same. All works well in the simulator, for iOS4 to 4.2. Any idea what's going on here?

Thanks!

I think the problem was, fundamentally, that I removed all the data models that were unused, but my switching to the current data model didn't stick for some reason.

When I branched out to try and fix the broken version, the git diff for one of the changes was setting the current model version from model7.xcdatamodel to model.xcdatamodel. I am fairly sure I did that previously, since the little green checkmark showed just fine in XCode on the only data model left, but for some reason it didn't stick.

There were two revisions between my last testing version (0.19) and the submitted version (1.0.0). I double checked the changes in those two revisions, and one of them sets the current data model to the correct one. That's why my tests with the submitted version worked (the data model was set correctly), but the tester's version didn't (because it wasn't set correctly).

Glad I finally figured it out. The morale: Make double extra sure your data model changes are all there.
