'Class' is ambiguous for type lookup in this context

I did a core-data model:

class Order: NSManagedObject {
    ... //code
}

but when I try to build I get an error:

'Order' is ambiguous for type lookup in this context

The accepted answer by @aviram-netanel worked for me, but I had a hard time finding the panel lol.

Open your .xcdatamodeld file
Click on one of your entities

Press this button on the top-right of the screen

Select the last tab and fill in this information

In my case I had an entity named "Client". Client seems to be used internally under the hood somewhere. Changing the entity name to "Company" resolved the issue. So check if your naming is reserverd by the system or other components.
Be sure to change both entity and class name (at least the class name).

Below are steps that worked for me,

Delete "NSManagedObject" files created
Clean build
Open core data .xcdatamodeld file
Open the right pane by selecting "Entity"
Set Module to "Current Project", Codegen to "Module None" Setting One Ref Image
Now go to Editor Menu from the top and create a subclass "NSManagedObject"
Build the project
Go back to Enity right pane and change Codegen to "Class Definition" Setting Two Ref Image

I had the same issue, on codegen option i had choosen class defination,To fix this: 1.Delete the generated class files 2. Select the Order Entity and on codegen on your right hand side choose manual\none 3. Navigate to Xcode Editor and select "Create NSManagedObject subclass to generate the classes again.

Make sure to clean your build folder also once you make the required changes to your entity settings.

I feel the right solution is to delete the files created by Xcode foe the entity class and attribute class and change the codegen to class definition.

so I figured - the Entity 'Order' should be defined in the core data properties panel.

open core data .xcdatamodeld file
select the Entity 'Order'
On the right select "Current Product Module" under module
select "Category/Extension" under Codegen
