macOS [iPhone] Interface builder problem

[cmaier]

I've written a few iphone apps the old-fashioned way (i.e.: no IB), and haven't played around with IB for iPhone apps until today (didn't feel the need to rewrite my existing apps to take advantage of it). But I seem to be doing something wrong. This is with sdk beta 6. I do the following:

- in xcode, create a new "cocoa touch application."
- load "testibViewController.xib" in IB
- drag over an Object from library
- in the info pane for Object, change its class to testdel and add a doIt action
- File | Write Class Files, and add to the project
- Edit testdel's doit like this:

- (IBAction)doIt {
NSLog(@"hello");
}

- drag a UIButton over to the View
- control-drag from the button to Testdel, and select the doIt action
- fix testdel.h to make testdel subclass NSObject
- "build and go" (for the simulator)

In the simulator, i click the button. Program crashes. This is in the console:

I'm assuming I'm missing something simple here. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

In Beta 6 and maybe 5, you need to subclass that object as UIViewController or UIView when using IBor you will get some seriously weird issues.

Have you tried this?

i had tried using the actual viewcontroller that is created when creating the project, and had experienced the same problem. I will try changing the new class to subclass view or viewcontroller and see if that helps.

I do remember on one of my experiments i at least got a stack trace, and got an "unhandled exception" crash relating to a message: CALayer..mouse up within bounds - can't remember the exact message). I thought it odd that CALayer was involved.

I tried subclassing UIView and UIViewController, and I still get that crash and the same console log.

Actually, I also get this on the console now:

(more accurately: i got that message only one time. doing "build and run" again didn't show the message again).
