Interface Builder Issues

Last updated on June 25, 2014

So, I have been doing several tutorials learning how to program iOS, and I have made a few mistakes. I then clean up those mistakes and try something else. I finish up the tutorial as they stated, start up the simulator, and then…. Crash. But how? I did everything the told me to do, their’s works, but mine won’t, what happened?!

Maybe it is from me being so new to interface builder, but so far, it has been kind of hit or miss with error reporting to me. My most recent issue with it, was I was trying to work with a Date Picker so that it would pop up from the bottom when I clicked a textfield, instead of the keyboard. I had to put it into an actionSheet, which is basically a drawer that pops up from the bottom of the screen, similar to how the keyboard shows up. I tried something from a stack overflow post that didn’t work at least for my situation, deleted all of the code, and tried something else. I finished coding that second way of doing it, loaded it up in the simulator, clicked on that textbox, and it crashed with the error: “unrecognized selector sent to instance”, and even with an exception breakpoint, it still pretty much showed up in the main, not very helpful. I tried to put up breakpoints, to stop it before any of my code executed there, but to no avail.
