Modify your authenticateCredentials as shown below and check if it is working. If it is showing an error message as Error! Not a dictionary, you need to check if your plist is having correct structure. Mostly your [objDict objectForKey:#"pass"] is returning a different data type.
- (void)authenticateCredentials {
NSMutableArray *plistArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray:[self readFromPlist]];
for (int i = 0; i< [plistArray count]; i++)
{
id object = [plistArray objectAtIndex:i];
if ([object isKindOfClass:[NSDictionary class]]) {
NSDictionary *objDict = (NSDictionary *)object;
if ([[objDict objectForKey:#"pass"] isEqualToString:emailTextFeild.text] && [[objDict objectForKey:#"title"] isEqualToString:passwordTextFeild.text])
{
NSLog(#"Correct credentials");
return;
}
NSLog(#"INCorrect credentials");
} else {
NSLog(#"Error! Not a dictionary");
}
}
}
