My project has a UIImage
category function that I want to call from another class. I properly import the header file for the image category and I get the project to compile with no warning.
The problem is that when I call the UIImage
category function I seen an unrecognized selector error with a NSInvalidArgumentException
. Why am I seeing this if I've properly linked everything?
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@interface UIImage (DRShare)
+ (UIImage*) imageNamed:(NSString*)name;
@end
@implementation UIImage (DRShare)
+ (UIImage*) imageNamedDR:(NSString*)name{
CGFloat s = 1.0f;
if([[UIScreen mainScreen] respondsToSelector:@selector(scale)]){
s = [[UIScreen mainScreen] scale];
}
NSString *path = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%@%@.png",kImagesPath,name,s > 1 ? @"@2x":@""];
return [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:DRBUNDLE(path)];
}
@end
file that calls it:
backgroundView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamedDR:@"Share Popup Background"]];
exception raised:

I had the same issue and had to apply this fix as well. My NSDate-Extensions.m source file wasn't compiling so I had to go into Project Settings, then select the appropriate target, then click the "Build Phases" tab, then expand the "Compile Sources" items, then click the + symbol and manually add my NSDate-Extensions.m file.
Another possibility.
You have the implementation of category but do not have an interface. I mean you forgot to declare in *.h the interface of your category.
May be because you write
imageNamed
instead ofimageNamedDR
in the interface..I had this error message and I am using Cocoapods. To fix the error, I just needed to call
pod install
again to create all the necessary linking correctly.If you want to use Category method, you must add -ObjC to the Other Linker Flags build setting of your APP.
Yet another possibility:
This is almost too embarrassing to admit, but just in case someone might have done the same silly mistake:
I was copying code from one project to another, and by mistake I had pasted the same source code in the
.h
file and the.m
file (in both I had put the code meant for the.h
file). I fixed my.m
file and it worked.
