program crashes when trying to present modal view controller

Question

I want to load another xib, and use this simple code:

AddElementViewController *viewToLoad = [[AddElementViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"AddElementViewController" bundle:nil];
viewToLoad.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical;
[self presentModalViewController:viewToLoad animated:YES];

for some reason it throws me out with this output:

2012-03-11 11:56:57.990 Weesh[14650:11603] -[MainViewController AddPressed:]:     unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7b55b40

terminate called throwing an exception(lldb) 

do you have any idea what can cause it?

Answer 1

Somewhere in your code (it seems to be in AddElementViewController implementation) you are sending message AddPressed: to object of class MainViewController.

The call stack and crash error says that there are no method AddPressed: in class MainViewController.

Try to find all places where you are calling AddPressed: (first of all check loadView, viewDidLoad, viewWillAppear, viewDidAppear, init of AddElementViewController class) and check the type of receiver.
