Application terminated when tapping custom button on navigation bar

Question

I made an custom button for a navigation bar, but when I tap it, it terminates

-(void)viewDidLoad
{
  UIImage *backButtonImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"button.png"];
  UIButton *backButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
  [backButton setImage:backButtonImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];
  backButton.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, backButtonImage.size.width, backButtonImage.size.height);
  [backButton addTarget:self action:@selector(back) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
  UIBarButtonItem *customBackBarItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:backButton];
  self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = customBackBarItem;
}

 -(void)goBackOne
{
  [self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}

the output is

Answer 1

You button is trying use the selector back on your SleepModeViewController, but you've actually named the method -goBackOne. You fix it, either rename the -goBackOne method to -back, or change the name of the selector to goBackOne. For example:

// The selector must actually match a method name on the target
[backButton addTarget:self action:@selector(goBackOne) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

It's important that the selector name and method names match. The error shows that your problem is that the selector named -back doesn't exist. When your app terminates with these errors, you should check that all your @selector() statements match actual method names.
