xcode: class is not key value coding-compliant

Question

I'm currently working myself through this tutorial: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/referencelibrary/GettingStarted/DevelopiOSAppsSwift/ConnectTheUIToCode.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40015214-CH22-SW1 After creating the function for the button(at ~2/3 on the page) I tried running the code and got the Exception:

2017-12-08 11:24:31.343183+0100 FoodTracker[2159:154603] *** 

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSUnknownKeyException', reason: '[<FoodTracker.ViewController 0x7fea6f406820> setValue:forUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key setDefaultLabelText.'

libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException
(lldb) 

Here is my Code:

And the connections inspector of the button:

Solution 1

This is due to FoodTracker VC in storyboard has an outlet created but not connected.

How to resolve the issue? Follow these steps.

1. Open your storyboard, click on view controller below view controller scene.
2. Check for all outlets for ViewController.
3. Remove those outlets created and are not connected to ViewController.swift implementation file.

Keep me updated on the same.

Solution 2

Check your connection to @IBAction with this steps below:

In the storyboard:

In your view controller:

Updated:

In your case, you should remove connection in Reference Outlets because you connect it to the label outlet.

@Ginso89 tap on your ViewController(in the left side of storyboard), after in the Connection inspector you should find it.
