this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key view

i´m very new to xcode... a made an app (simple calculator) work´s pretty good (on simulator and device). When i set the main interface in the summary options from Target, i get the following error when starting the simulator:

> 2012-04-14 12:17:27.123 CalcTest[27550:f803] *** Terminating app due > to uncaught exception 'NSUnknownKeyException',

to find the problem, i started a new view based project.

Run the empty new project on the simulator -->works,

But when I set the main interface, to ViewController, in the summary -->the Simulator crash with

is there a solution for the problem?

If you have a control in your nib (xib file) that is linked to a property (IBOutlet) or method (IBAction) in your view controller, and you have either deleted or renamed the property or method, the runtime can't find it because it has been renamed and therefore crashes.

In your case, you have set the Main Interface property of the project to your ViewController.nib. This is a problem because the only nibs that should be used as Main Interface should have UIWindows in them and the File Owner in that nib should be set to the AppDelegate. The UIWindow in the nib should be linked to the File Owner's (AppDelegate) window property. Because you set that with a nib without the traits the runtime was looking for, it gives you this error.

The solution is to leave the Main Interface blank as you do not have to set up UIWindows manually anymore.

Just had the same problem and fixed it by right Control-Clicking controls in the xib file to see referencing Outlets. Turned-out that some of the control were still referencing and older name and causing this error to happen.

if you get a message similar to:

• Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSUnknownKeyException', reason:

'[ setValue:forUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key

click the add (+) at the left bottom corner of the BreakPoint navigation area, choose 'add Exception Breakpoint', since it is crashing because of 'NSUnknownKeyException', and opt for 'All'. Run the program. The program stops at the first exception.

try this, select File's Owner then click on the "Connection Inspector" (upper on the top of right pane), you will see all the outlets. Look for any sign like this (!) you will find it on the small circle which indicates a missing outlet, all you have to do is linking it properly or remove the outlet.

Try this,

Go to Target=>Build Phases=>Compile Sources

Then include 'calculatorScreen.m'

I was facing the same problem. In my case i had renamed the text label in .h file. So there was multiple reference for that label in my main.storyboard file. Once i removed old reference my code started working.
