A veces mi aplicación se bloquea cuando quiero actualizar mi archivo de Core Data al descargar y analizar un archivo json. Obtuve el siguiente error:

CoreData: error: error grave de la aplicación. La excepción se detectó durante el proceso de cambio de Datos básicos. Esto suele ser un error dentro de un observador de NSManagedObjectContextObjectsDidChangeNotification. - [__ NSCFSet addObject:]: intento de insertar nil con userInfo (null)

¿Importa dónde guardo el NSManagedObjectContext dentro de una iteración si cambio las propiedades durante la iteración?

Aquí está mi código:

- (void) updateData
{           
    dispatch_queue_t serialdQueue;
    serialdQueue = dispatch_queue_create("update", NULL);
    dispatch_async(serialdQueue, ^{
        [self method1];
    });
    dispatch_async(serialdQueue, ^{
        [self method2];
    });
    dispatch_async(serialdQueue, ^{
        [self method3];
    });
    dispatch_async(serialdQueue, ^{
        [self method4];
    });
    dispatch_async(serialdQueue, ^{
        [self method5];
    });

}

-(void)method1
{        
    //DOWNLOAD JSON FILE
}

-(void)method2 //here i add objects to the core data file
{        
    @try {

        for (NSDictionary *jsonActivity in [json objectForKey:@"Activities"]) {  //ITERATE THROUGH JSON ACTIVITY ARRAY

            NSFetchRequest *request = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];

            NSEntityDescription *entity = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"Activity" inManagedObjectContext:self.managedObjectContext];
            [request setEntity:entity];

            NSPredicate *searchFilter = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"title == %@", [jsonActivity objectForKey:@"title"]]; // CHECK IF OBJECT FROM JSON FILE ALREADY EXISTS...
            [request setPredicate:searchFilter];
            NSError *error = nil;

            NSArray *results = [self.managedObjectContext executeFetchRequest:request error:&error];
            if (error) {

                abort();
            }

            if ([results count] == 0) { // ADD NEW ACTIVITY IF OLD LIST DOESNT CONTAIN IT

                Activity *activity = [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:@"Activity" inManagedObjectContext:self.managedObjectContext];

                activity.title = [jsonActivity objectForKey:@"title"];

                activity.remove = [NSNumber numberWithBool:NO]; // REMOVE FLAG = NO BECAUSE NEW OBJECTS AREN'T REMOVED

            } else  {

            }

}
