NSInternalInconsistencyException: no section at index 4

Question

Hi I have a simple database app on the iPhone that uses core data. I was just looking at some Flurry exception reports and I'm seeing the following error:

NSInternalInconsistencyException: no section at index 4

The number varies in the reports, but it is always the same message. Any idea on what this means and where to start my debugging efforts?

Answer 1

Where are you seeing this? Core Data would not throw errors across the network.

Answer 2

It probably means that you have a tableview which is asking for a non existent section. Most likely, you are returning incorrect values from numberOfSectionsInTableView: for some reason.
