Error or it does not execute BWWalkthrough - swift

So I have followed your tutorial step by step. Still having issues...
I have installed it first with CocoaPods and seems that others are having the same issue.
If I name the custom class module (top right on the identity inspector) BWWalkthrough it will crash with the following line
let walkthrough = stb.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("onboardingZero") as! BWWalkthroughViewController
Could not cast value of type 'BWWalkthrough.BWWalkthroughViewController' (0x1054e6b50) to 'NameOfMyProject.BWWalkthroughViewController'
If I change the custom class module to NameOfMyProject (or leave it blank) it does not crash and the initial View Controller loads fine, when I tap the first button it simply does not load step0, the code executes fine, but nothing happens and I never get to see the first BWWalkthroughViewController.
I have tried with both cocoaPods and by copying the files. Spent a good two hours looking at this and got nowhere. Please help!!!!!

Can't run the project cause of the EXC_BAD_ACCESS

I am working on a project and I have no professional experience on iOS development. Any way after I update my Xcode 11.0 (now it's 11.1) I can't run the project in any way. But if I try to open my 1 year old project it's open without any problem. I got all the time Thread 1: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=2, address=0x7ffee4ac0e98) and interesting part is error itself does not show up same spot. If I delete or modify the faulty field it just pop up completely different line. I want to show code but it does not occur in a specific place.
But error generally pops up the one of my third party code. I used MyThirdPartyTextFieldAnimationFiles and here I used IsaoTextField.swift and TextFieldEffects.swift. In TextFieldEffect.swift file declaration public let placeholderLabel = UILabel() gives the error first. I don't understand where the error originated from. Thanks for helping any way.
Kind Regards.
I solve the problem but this solution won't be the right one. Error itself is so generic error type every can cause this. I explain my solution if one of you get that error he/she can use that maybe anyway.
In my app I have a NavigationController and one of my view(it is one of the views in the that NavVC) I declare the next VC at the start of the class and than push it to the top of the NavigationController. The error is cause by that declaration position. I moved it in the button function and error disappear.
Less buggy and nice days all.

How to check which class/UIViewController is executing while testing on device on Xcode?

Recently I have been working on an old swift project built in back in 2015. Its really difficult to find which ViewController is executing currently because of the naming convention, usage of really massive storyboard(I feel terrified to even go to the main.storyboard) and various reason like usage of different language. Of course I can find it but it takes long. I was thinking if there is any way like when I run the project on a device and navigate to different page is there any way to see in the console which ViewController is executing ?
There is a quick way to find what view controller you are on when you are running your app.
1) Launch your app on the device or simulator.
2) Go into Xcode and tap this button:
3) This will open the Debug View Hierarchy. Click on the phone and you will see all the elements in the top bar. You can also see a hierarchy on the left-hand side. In here, you can click down and you will see the name of the view controller on screen.
Using the debugger after putting a breakpoint where you prefer you can write this and press return.
Swift 4.x
po UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController?.value(forKey: "_printHierarchy")
This method is a private API, thus you cannot use on production code, just use it in debug or from the debugger console.
I think it is better to see in debug area for your current viewcontroller named self, you get all information from there open the dropdown and and see you need to put break point in your viewController init method or where you want to debug, However you want to know programatically which is you current viewController you can get it by
appDelegate.window.currentViewController()
If you need which ViewController is Pushed or presented you can get from the above code but the case will be different if you are using the Slidemenu controller, I mean it is totally depends on how you have started navigation and which navigation controller is currently is use.
Can you briefly describe why you need current ViewController so i can help you further.

Custom PickerView froze up (With sample project)

Background: I have been wanting a PickerView that is exactly matches that of Safari. I looked through many Gits and found none that work quite as exactly. I decided to build my own. It is complete now, but there is a bug that would not go away.
Problem: If you run the sample project you will be greeted with 2 text fields.
Tap on one of the textfields - it brings up the BTPickerView. Everything works just as you would expect.
Choose the fourth choice, then press done.
Tap on the same textfield. This time, the debug log will show you that you have executed an infinite loop, which freezes the app.
Question: What did I do to cause it? And how do I fix it?
I have tried everything to boil it down. It comes down to this and I could not go any further. Please advise.
Edit: Here is the sample code you can download in case anyone missed the blue link above.
The issue seems to be with the constraints in BTPickerLabel. If you temporarily disable the constraints from BTPickerLabel, code works fine. Enforcing constraint might trigger the reloading of entire picker view infinitely. I hope it should help you to fix the problem.

iPhone App Crashes on button click

I made my project in storyboard in, due to issue with the custom UITableViewCell I have made a new project, copied all of the data to my new classes and copied my buttons, images etc from the storyboard views to new project's nib/xib files.
Now When I click on any button my app crashes without any error and it opens delegate file and highlights this line of code
return UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, NSStringFromClass([ThisOrThatAppDelegate class]));
I have already made connections for the required actions from IB to controller. Also I have tried Command+Shift+K for clean code. But the problem is still there.
You have to find out first what the problem is:
use the Debug build config and are using lldb or gdb
make sure you have a breakpoint on all exceptions
make sure you have the "Breakpoints" button top left enabled.
run the app
You should break into the debugger. You need to get to a point where the debugger catches the exception.
Then edit your question and tell us what exception you get. I'm going to guess you'll be getting a objc_msgSend() error, which means that some object is trying to message a non-existent or dealloced object. If that turns out to be true, then you can enable "Zombies" (which lets all objects stay around) and see if one of those gets messaged.
If nothing seems to help, then what you need to do is start adding NSLog messages to track your app as it comes up (or use breakpoints, your choice). This takes a long time so you might work backwards - see if your appDelegate application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: gets called, and also if you get to the end of it.
Unforunately this type of problem can be take a lot of time to track down. Some object has probably queued a message up for another object on the main queue, so when you get the crash you don't get to see who did what when.
Also, with objc_msgSend problems, when the debugger stops you cannot easily see what object was messaged - but if you turn off the debugger and let the app actually crash, you can find the crash report in the Console app and get more info from that.

UISearchBar error when entering Searchbar textbox

I have found a strange error. I have been following this sample:
http://jduff.github.com/2010/03/09/throwing-a-uinavigationcontroller-uitabbarcontroller-and-uisearchbar-together/
I tested it and then tried to roll it in my app. It worked in the sample but not my app. In my app I would SIGABRT or BAD_ACCESS errors whenever I entered the textview inside the searchbar. The main difference was that I placed the Search on the second tab rather than the first. When I changed the taborder on my app to have the search on the first tab's navigation controller, it worked! It seems that unless I first enter the searchbar's textview. The object gets released and if I try to enter it later it fails. Very weird. I don't know enough about the objects here to say what the initialization sequence is but my guess is I need to do more initialization to get it to work.
go through the article in the link once more. especially through the "Setting up the Project" part.
In the article everything is set for the "selected view controller" which is the first one. And you say you implement everything to the second tab. Make sure you didn't implement everything in the first one of your project.
Let me know if this helps. If not I'll figure out something else.
