libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught excepti

Question

I'm programming an app in swift and when I run the test app on the iPhone simulator everything works, but then I try to swipe right, which is a gesture that I added for it to go to the next Page(View Controller Two) it crashes and shows this error report in the console log.

2014-10-18 12:07:34.400 soundtest[17081:818922] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSUnknownKeyException', reason: '[<soundtest.ViewControllerTwo 0x7f92f1f20090> setValue:forUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key sfdfa.'

Answer 1

Did you set the OS_ACTIVITY_MODE variable by any chance? To check if you have this variable set (and turn it off), in Xcode 9, do the following:

Select from Xcode menu Product -> Scheme -> Edit Scheme.. Select the Run scheme and look under Arguments. If you see the OS_ACTIVITY_MODE variable checked, deselect it

Answer 2

If you're using react native and react-native-firebase, make sure you link up the Google-Services.plist file (https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/issues/313#issuecomment-320435560)

Answer 3

This started to happen for me on Xcode 7, and I had no outlets with yellow flags that I could delete.

The only thing that worked for me was replacing this line in the AppDelegate:

[window addSubview:viewController.view];

to:

[window setRootViewController:viewController];

Answer 4

It could also be helpful to create Exception Breakpoint in Debug->Breakpoints. Debugger should then hopefully stop on the line of code where the problem is located.

Answer 5

For my case, Xcode 8.2.1, I had a Map Kit View in a view controller. So I went to

Build Phases > Link Binary With Libraries

and added MapKit.framework, then it was fine.

I think this will also apply to other views that require framework.

P.S. Running on iOS 9 told me that there was an issue about Map Kit View, while on iOS 10 told me nothing!

Answer 6

In my case, it was XCode getting tired and failing to start app with this message, due to an assertion failing (that was set by our code).

Running on another device showed the assertion failure, which we were able to fix, and everything went back to normal.
