Why is the IB Action set to exit as object?

I am creating an app that requires notifications. I created a settings page with a switch to toggle notifications for the application. I tried to link the switch to ViewController2 using an @IBAction, but it keeps connecting the object to Exit, instead of ViewController. I am getting really frustrated because the @IBAction won't stay connected. I am not sure what is going on, but if I could get help that would be amazing.

The images are linked down below to Imigur.

This is the connection to ViewController2

You can see there is no action option for the connection in this image.

Solution

  • When you attach @IBActions (or @IBOutlets), you do not want to attach them to Exit on the View Controller.

    Follow these steps to add an @IBAction:

    1) Make sure your View Controller's class is linked to your file, then go into the Assistant Editor making sure you selected Automatic.

    Using storyboards

    2) Hold Control (^) and drag the button to your ViewController class.

    3) Add the button as an @IBAction. - It's also recommended to use UIButton as the sender, instead of Any.

    It should look like this:
