If your app supports both ios 9 as well ios 10 then you can use #available attribute to check current running version and run code accordingly because NSPersistentContainer is only available from iOS 10 and onwards.
In Swift 3
// MARK: - Core Data Saving support
func saveContext () {
let coreDataFileName = "Use your core data file name"
if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
let context = persistentContainer.viewContext
if context.hasChanges {
do {
try context.save()
} catch {
// Replace this implementation with code to handle the error appropriately.
// fatalError() causes the application to generate a crash log and terminate. You should not use this function in a shipping application, although it may be useful during development.
let nserror = error as NSError
fatalError("Unresolved error \(nserror), \(nserror.userInfo)")
}
}
}else {
if managedObjectContext.hasChanges {
do {
try managedObjectContext.save()
} catch let error as NSError {
print("Ops there was an error \(error.localizedDescription)")
abort()
}
}
}
}
// Applications default directory address
