Question

I am getting this error when I run my first "sqlite" app on iPhone simulator. xcode says no issue but when i am clicking on my app it throws error in debug window. i have placed all necessary code here please help me to connect "sqlite" and remove these errors.

The error is as follows:

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSUnknownKeyException', reason: '[<ViewController 0x8a45930> setValue:forUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key departmentbox.'

Was it helpful?

Solution

you unused the property departmentbox into departmentTextField on your ViewController but you didn't to remove the departmentbox from storyboard,

go to your connection inspector and remove the unused key department box, and then build your app

enter image description here

here the department box is shown in the Reference Outlet just removed the department box and build your app

OTHER TIPS

You have connected the UITextField in IB with "departmentbox".

@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *departmentbox;

But later you have commented the above lines in your view controller.

When you try to run the app,IB is looking for the "departmentbox" in viewcontroller. That causes the crash.

disconnect the "departmentbox" in IB will resolve the issue.

that's because you renamed you property departmentbox into departmentTextField on ViewController but apparently forgot to update storyboard

Besides, there is no need to use ivars, declare private properties if you don't need to expose your outlets in .h file:

in your .m declare

@interface UIViewController ()
@property (nonatomic, weak) IBOutlet UITextField *regNoTextField;
// etc
@end

This error often comes when an unknown property is associated in your xib file.

It may happen if you rename a property after the xib association.

Here, the associated property was departmentbox, but renamed as departmentTextField

Perhaps you had declared an iVar named "departmentbox" in your view controller, created a connection in xib file to that iVar and later on you deleted/renamed this iVar but forgot to delete the connection created in xib file. Can you check the xib file of your view controller class and see if there is any connection to departmentBox. If you see that (with a little warning icon showing on the right of outlet connection in xib), just remove that connection and it should be fine.
