关于核心数据判定的问题

我不清楚你的NSManagedObjects，不过试试这样：

- (SubCategory *)searchForSubCategoryWithName:(NSString *)subCategory
                                   inCategory:(Category *)category
{
    NSFetchRequest *fetchRequest = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
    NSEntityDescription *entity = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"Category" inManagedObjectContext:self.beer.managedObjectContext];
    [fetchRequest setEntity:entity];

    NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"subcategory.name == [c] %@ AND name == %@", subCategory, category.name];
    [fetchRequest setPredicate:predicate];

    NSError *error;
    NSArray *fetchedObjects = [self.beer.managedObjectContext executeFetchRequest:fetchRequest error:&error];

    if (fetchedObjects != nil && fetchedObjects.count > 0) {
        Category *categoryManagedObject = [fetchedObjects objectAtIndex:0];
        return categoryManagedObject.subcategory;
    }
    else {
        return nil;
    }
}

也可以添加category到predicate中，需要在subcategory管理对象定义：

- (SubCategory *)searchForSubCategoryWithName:(NSString *)subCategory
                                       inCategory:(Category *)category
    {
        NSFetchRequest *fetchRequest = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
        NSEntityDescription *entity = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"Category" inManagedObjectContext:self.beer.managedObjectContext];
        [fetchRequest setEntity:entity];

        NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"name == [c] %@ AND category == %@", subCategory, category];
        [fetchRequest setPredicate:predicate];

        NSError *error;
        NSArray *fetchedObjects = [self.beer.managedObjectContext executeFetchRequest:fetchRequest error:&error];

        if (fetchedObjects != nil && fetchedObjects.count > 0) {
            return [fetchedObjects objectAtIndex:0];
        }
        else {
            return nil;
        }
    }
