Suppose I have a Core Data model object MyObject with property myProp
defined in the model editor's schema.
Can I use the simple accessors like this:
[myObj myProp]
[myObj setMyProp]
or am I forced to use the rather clunky valueForKey/setVakyeForKey messages?

Managed objects automatically fake accessors for entities.

No, they don't fake accessors for entities, they dynamically generates accessor methods for managed object classes.
I call this fake.

Anyway the TS understood this.

You can subclass NSManagedObject and add properties using @property and @dynamic, which means, that the accessors will be generated dynamically at run-time. (Without @dynamic you will get a compiler warning: incomplete implementation blablabla)

There is no need to create a subclass,
"You *can* subclass NSManagedObject  …"

you can use a category instead.
There is no need to create a category. You can use a subclass instead.

There is documentation about @property and Core-Data esp. in relation to retain/copy/assign. (The quintessence: Use retain!)

You may also consider 'copy' if appropriate
"There is documentation about @property and Core-Data esp. in relation to retain/copy/assign. (The quintessence: Use retain!)"




This is all trivially found in <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CoreData/Articles/cdAccessorMethods.html >
