iPhone App crashes after localization of xib file - iphone

Question

I am creating my first iPhone app in which the first screen displays a table view the user selects from. It works before localization using the method below.
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] init];
[self.window addSubview:[self.navigationController view]];
if(self.selectCategoryViewController == nil)
{
SelectCategoryViewController *viewTwo = [[SelectCategoryViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"SelectCategoryViewController" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
self.selectCategoryViewController = viewTwo;
[viewTwo release];
}
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES];//this will hide the navigation bar
[self.navigationController pushViewController:self.selectCategoryViewController animated:YES];
//self.window.rootViewController = self.navigationController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
After I localized it by adding the Japanese localization file and changing the above to this:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] init];
[self.window addSubview:[self.navigationController view]];
if(self.selectCategoryViewController == nil)
{
NSBundle *myLocalizedBundle=[NSBundle bundleWithPath:[NSString stringWithFormat:[[NSBundle mainBundle]bundlePath],"en.lproj"]];
NSLog(#"the localized bundle is %#",myLocalizedBundle);
SelectCategoryViewController *viewTwo=[[SelectCategoryViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"SelectCategoryViewController" bundle:myLocalizedBundle];
self.selectCategoryViewController = viewTwo;
[viewTwo release];
}
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES];//this will hide the navigation bar
[self.navigationController pushViewController:self.selectCategoryViewController animated:YES];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
it crashes with the following error:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'NSException'
Any suggestions on how I should call the SelectCategoryViewController for the selected language?

Answer 1

This line looks wrong to me:
NSBundle *myLocalizedBundle=[NSBundle bundleWithPath:[NSString stringWithFormat:[[NSBundle mainBundle]bundlePath],"en.lproj"]];
You probably meant something like this:
NSString* path= [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"en" ofType:#"lproj"];
NSBundle* bundle:myLocalizedBundle = [NSBundle bundleWithPath:path];
SelectCategoryViewController *viewTwo = [[SelectCategoryViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"SelectCategoryViewController" bundle:myLocalizedBundle];
This is discussed more here: Manually loading a different localized nib in iOs
Note that this is only required if you want to do an in-app language selection. Localization should typically use the iOS device's selected language, in which case all this is much more straightforward (you simply let iOS pick the bundle for you).

xcode 5:
i had to clean build, clean build folder,delete derived data, reset simulator, close simulator, close Xcode.
Open project again and it's working.

Answer 3

Problem - This is a problem of project path, I think [self.window makeWindowKeyVisible] can not be able to find a path to your first assigned controller...
Solution - It happens some time, when your project suddenly stopped work, So no worries - just shift your project to other path, or just change the name of folder where actually your project resides and it will started working fine....
It works for me successfully...
