Boolean values and core data - objective-c

Question

I have Boolean values in a entity, the values are all show 0.
The values are fetched and no matter what I always get back a TRUE value.
Here is the code, the problem is probably at the last 2 lines of code.
What am I doing wrong?
-(NSInteger)getStatus:(NSString*)nameID;
{
**//Fetch Request**
NSFetchRequest *fetchRequest = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
NSEntityDescription *entity =
[NSEntityDescription entityForName:#"status"
inManagedObjectContext:[self managedObjectContext]];
[fetchRequest setEntity:entity];
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate
predicateWithFormat:#"id_Name = %#", nameID];
[fetchRequest setPredicate:predicate];
NSError *error = nil;
NSArray *fetchedObjects = [[self managedObjectContext] executeFetchRequest:fetchRequest error:&error];
if (fetchedObjects == nil) {
}
**//Values**
status *ENT_status;
ENT_status = [fetchedObjects objectAtIndex:0];
//Either way, both these lines return YES when it would be NO
//------------------------------------------------------------------
BOOL one = ENT_status.status_one;
NSNumber *two = [NSNumber numberWithBool:ENT_status.status_two];

Answer 1

By default, boolean values are represented as NSNumber objects in the managed objects.
So you can either use it as it is:
NSNumber *one = ENT_status.status_one;
or convert it to a plain (scalar) BOOL:
BOOL one = [ENT_status.status_one boolValue];
(In your code, the pointer ENT_status.status_one is always interpreted as YES.)
Alternatively, you can use the option "Use scalar properties for primitive data types"
when creating the managed object subclass in Xcode.

Answer 2

I know its a bit late and probably no one is using Objective-C anymore but i came across this problem and what worked for me was:
to retrieve a boolean value from object:
BOOL myBool = [[myManagedObject valueForKey:#"myKey"] boolValue];
and to set the new value:
myManagedObject.myKey = #YES;
