Xcode error - Thread 1: signal SIGABRT [closed]

Question

I am creating a simple RSS application and I am not that good in Objective-c. The application will always build successful and there is no errors or warnings, in the UITableView which reads the RSS, whenever i press the cells it will terminate and in the main.m this thread will come "Thread 1: signal SIGABRT" in this line:

return UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, NSStringFromClass([AppDelegate class]));

The information of my app:

The app is created by Xcode version: 4.3.1 The app was created from the "Master-Detail Application" template for iPhone and on a MacBook. The debugger I am using is LLDB and my iPhone simulator is 5.1 I am using Storyboard

Here is the Main.m:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

#import "AppDelegate.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{

    @autoreleasepool {
       return UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, NSStringFromClass([AppDelegate class]));
    }
}

The AppDelegate.h is:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface AppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate> {

    UIWindow *window;
    UINavigationController *navigationController;
}

@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UINavigationController *navigationController;

@end

My AppDelegate.m is:

#import "AppDelegate.h"




#import "AppDelegate.h"
#import "MasterViewController.h"


@implementation AppDelegate

@synthesize window;
@synthesize navigationController;


#pragma mark -
#pragma mark Application lifecycle

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {    
    // Override point for customization after app launch    

    [window addSubview:[navigationController view]];
    [window makeKeyAndVisible];
    return YES;
}


- (void)applicationWillTerminate:(UIApplication *)application {
    // Save data if appropriate
}


#pragma mark -
#pragma mark Memory management

- (void)dealloc {
    [navigationController release];
    [window release];
    [super dealloc];
}


@end

This is the console message:

If you want more information just say it to me by answers and I will edit my question and then you will edit your answer.

I would really appreciate you help.

SIGABRT means an exception was triggered. The console log will print the exact exception message, and you need to look at that (post it here). – Prepositive

Hey, you forgot to add your Xcode project files and the xib XML files. – Washbasin

Answer 1

You are trying to load a XIB named DetailViewController, but no such XIB exists or it's not member of your current target.

Prepositive

To add to this answer - you can Ctrl-Click then remove the outlet. It was nowhere in my code and this is the only way I could delete it. Not even Product > Clean worked. – Sundew

Answer 2

SIGABRT means in general that there is an uncaught exception. There should be more information on the console.

Archambault

Answer 3

SIGABRT is, as stated in other answers, a general uncaught exception. You should definitely learn a little bit more about Objective-C. The problem is probably in your UITableViewDelegate method didSelectRowAtIndexPath.

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

I can't tell you much more until you show us something of the code where you handle the table data source and delegate methods.

How come you think it's a table view that's causing the problem when the exception talks about not being able to load a NIB? – Prepositive

Because, this happens when you tap the table view cell. But I noticed one more thing - how exactly are you presenting the new view controller? If there is a need of specifying the bundle, make sure you have there [NSBundle mainBundle]. And also it can be an error in compiling and building. Check your XIB if it has the right target and try cleaning (Command+Shift+K) and build cleaning (Command+Shift+Alt+K). It would be great if we could see the part of the code where you fetch the rss and handle the touches. (at least some part of it) – Saturated
