App crashing on load terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException

Question

I have been playing around with a project of mine tonight and now I can't get it to load up. Strange thing is I have got an older version of this and have even tried to copy all data across and still not loading.

Error I am getting in NSLog is as follows:

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Answer 1

You have a phantom connection in your StoryBoard or XIB file called "animate".

1. Open your StoryBoard / XIB file
2. If you are using a StoryBoard, select the AdultGame view controller
3. Click on the "File's Owner" along the left
4. Select "View > Utilities > Show Connections Inspector"
5. You will see a list of "Outlets". One of them will be called "animate" and have an exclamation point next to it. Click on the little "x" to delete it.
