UITabBarController, UIViewController and IB crash issue

Question

I am writing an iPhone application that contains a tab controller, each tab item has a separated view controller and a xib file.

It work normal when I only display views without any outlet connections from nib to my class. But when I try to connect items on the xib to my class variable. The application always crash.

The code is like:

@interface TabX : UIViewController {
 IBOutlet UILabel *label;
}

@property (nonatomic, retain) UILabel *label;

@end


@implementation PromotionNews

@synthesize label;

...

@end

The crash occurs when I make connection in IB to connect a Label object to my file owener's label outlet. The file owner is set to class TabX type.

Part of the trace is :

Any idea what this crash happen?

Answer 1

I just solved this error with another person JUST NOW. the problem is that you are referencing your views which do not match your code. and again its for the same reason. because you have a tab bar application im assuming you have the delegate as well and so on. what you do is click on the TAB BAR itself on the view and THEN name the class identity name as your class name that you use in xcode.

So delete the file owners class identity and leave it as normal. It should be UIApplication i believe if you used the default tabBar application.

Hope this helps Let me know if it does. Because it helped the other dude. Uts quite funny though how youre the second person that has the same problem. and its the first time im solving the same problem again one after the other. lol
