I am getting an error called "+entityForName: nil is not a legal NSManagedObjectContext parameter searching for entity name 'Person". The name of the entity is Person and the entity name is name which is set as a string. The whole point of this is so a user can be added with a username and this saves as core data. Any way to solve this issue? The appdelegate class is also in the code

var people: [NSManagedObject] = []

}

managedContextis nil. Since that is derived from the persistentContainer in the App Delegate, please show that code from the App Delegate.
