iOS Application Crashes NSUnknownKeyException When Trying to Load View with UIPickerView


I have an application that has a UIPickerView. The second I try to open the view in which it is contained, the application crashes with NSUnknownKeyException.

Here's the log:

Here is the code in my view for the UIPickerView:

class ProcedurePicker: UIViewController, UIPickerViewDelegate {

var selectedText = "Pick Procedure Here"
var procedures = ["Epidural Steroid Injection", "Selective Nerve Root Injection", "Facet Joint Injection", "Medial Branch Nerve Block", "Sympathetic Nerve Block", "Caudal Epidural Injection", "Intrathecal Opioid Injection", "Epidural Blood Patch", "Radiofrequency Ablation on Medial Branch Nerve", "Spinal Cord Stimulator Trial", "Piriformins Injection", "Tail Bone Injection", "Ganglion Impar Block", "Stellate Ganglion Block", "Discography"]
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}

override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
    super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

func numberOfComponentsInPickerView(pickerView: UIPickerView) -> Int{
  return 1
}
func pickerView(pickerView: UIPickerView, numberOfRowsInComponent component: Int) -> Int {
    return procedures.count
}

func pickerView(pickerView: UIPickerView, titleForRow row: Int, forComponent component: Int) -> String! {
    return procedures[row]
}

func pickerView(pickerView: UIPickerView, didSelectRow row: Int, inComponent component: Int)
{
    selectedText = procedures[row]
}

@IBAction func onPressDone(sender: UIButton) {
    ProcedureButtonText = selectedText
}

}

I'm very new to Swift and iOS, so can you also please explain what's happening and why this crash is occuring?


Solution

  • Most of the times, it's because you've outlet link in story board, and this outlet exist no more in view controller file. Check if it's the case (with your picker).

    For this, open your story board, tap on that particular UI(picker in your case), check if it's connected to some outlet (You can check it as shown in picture). If yes, then remove it using cross sign. Hopefully your error will get resolved. In case you need this outlet then add that method in your view controller file.
