NSError *err;
BOOL result = [moc save: &err];


Make sure you initialize err:

NSError *err = nil;

Otherwise, you may be dealing with a bogus error object, since method-scope variables are not automatically initialized to 0. (Instance variables are initialized, btw.) I don't think that would affect the return value of
save, but it's a good habit either way.

It doesn't and the initial value of err is irrelevant unless your code is broken.

You should *never* assume *anything* about the value of err across a call to -save: or any other similar method *unless* the result indicates an error.

Similarly, you should *never* pass an instance of NSError into something like save: and assume that you'll get it back in the case of an error.

(I have seen both bugs a number of times.)
