Uncaught NSException Error

[GeorgeMcGinn]

Mr. K

I am testing my DateCalc program in Xcode and it builds successfully, but when the simulator screen displays, it gets an "Uncaught Exception" error and does not run.

I downloaded today the most recent SDK, so I am running with the current version.

I am running this test as iOS 10.2, Xcode 8.2, iPad Air 2. I also rebuilt my File Compare, which worked fine.

Thanks,George.

Do you get the same exception when running this program as an application on your device?

[GeorgeMcGinn]

No, it runs fine.

I figured that maybe because I am running it on an iPad Pro (my device) I reran the simulator with the two iPad Pro's it had, and I got the same error. So it isn't device specific.

It is the DateCalc v2 code in the forum here.

[GeorgeMcGinn]

One other thing - main.m pops up when the error occurs, so I think that is where the error is coming from.

[Mr. Kibernetik]

If application runs fine then it can be a Simulator problem...

[GeorgeMcGinn]

I thought that, but:

1. I ran it with iPad Air, iPad Air 2, iPad Pro 9.5 and 12.5 and it gets the same error

2. I ran FileCompare, similar in coding, and it does not get this error.

I have ruled out coding in that DateCalc was written in the same way FileCompare (written by the same two programmers) and testing all the simulations should have found one that works, yet what works for one does not work the other, which rules out simulator.

Both ran with Xcode 8.2 and iOS 10.2 set in the project, and I verified all the settings in Xcode are the same (with program name being the difference and the source code, while similar, does something different.

DateCalc does you sliders which FileCompare does not.

Could it be a LibSB issue?

[Mr. Kibernetik]

If you install your program as an application on your device and it runs Ok, but on Simulator it fails to run, then it can be the Simulator bug.

[GeorgeMcGinn]

My program was never an application.

It runs in the IDE, but when I try to create a Xcode project, it fails. It has never ran as anything outside of the IDE.

So, I will repeat the question:

[GeorgeMcGinn]

I need you to define "application" as it runs inSb IDE, but has never been created as an App by Xcode.

I can't get it out of XCODE! No Application has been created.
