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

I had two issues:

1) My target didn't have the view controller included that was used in the storyboard file.

2) My storyboard was about 3 years old, I had to recreate one of the view controllers in the tab bar controller from scratch (it only had a UITextField and I still don't know why it wasn't working)

Answer 2

Make sure you are not dynamically applying relative constraints to a view which is not yet there in view hierarchy.

UIView *bottomView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
[self.view addSubview:bottomView];

bottomConstraint = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:bottomView
                                                attribute:NSLayoutAttributeBottom
                                                relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual
                                                   toItem:self.view
                                                attribute:NSLayoutAttributeBottom
                                               multiplier:1
                                                 constant:0];
bottomConstraint.active = YES;

In above example, bottomView has been made part of view hierarchy before applying relative constraints on it.

Answer 3

Yet another possible cause:

In my case, I had a xib and was calling Bundle.main.loadNibNamed(... at which point it was crashing. All my IBOutlets and IBActions seemed fine. In the end I noticed that the nib was actually loading, but then when I tried to access the first (and only) view (nib.first), that was not working. In fact nib.count was returning a very large integer (max int?), instead of the expected 1. I tried re-adding the view, but still no luck.

In the end, I deleted the whole xib file and started again (but I kept some of the views in my clipboard so I can paste them instead of recreating them again).

This worked!

Answer 4

Swift 4:

I was getting this error because of a change in the UIVisualEffectView api. In Swift 3 it was ok to do this: myVisuallEffectView.addSubview(someSubview)

But in Swift 4 I had to change it to this: myVisualEffectView.contentView.addSubview(someSubview)

Answer 5

In my case, it was InterfaceBuilder. I had copied some Views from another ViewController which messed up the constraints.

In InterfaceBuilder I had the red arrow error on the ViewController.

During execution the app crashed.

Answer 6

I had this same error when I had a typo for one of the views while building constraints using the visual formatter. I hope that helps someone... or me again one day.
