Getting SIGABRT for a reason unknown to me - iphone

Question

I am developing an iOS application (http://affogato.visioa.com/) that implements a tab bar controller, navigation controller and a tableview controller and each time I run my application, I get: "Thread 1: Program recieved signal: "SIGABRT". Could anyone shed any light as to why I am getting this and how to correct it?
Below is the console:

Answer 1

The first line of your console log gives the reason for the SIGABRT:
2011-08-28 13:13:57.070 Affogato[16469:b303] *** Terminating app
due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException',
reason: '-[UITableViewController loadView]
loaded the "CoffeesView" nib but didn't get a UITableView.'
If you intended to use a UITableViewController, it is looking in the NIB file for a UITableView to control - is there one there?
On the other hand, if you didn't mean to use this kind of controller, just change it to a UIViewController in the .h file.

Answer 2

I was getting the same error message and in my case the "view" outlet of table view was not connected in the storyboard scene. Control drag from ViewController object to the UITableView object embedded in the scene. HTH.

Answer 3

I had a same problem with the storyboard. the solution was very simple, In the storyboard, i was using the UIViewController class for my viewcontroller scene which should be actually UITableViewController. I just deleted my UIViewController scene and created new UITableViewController scene, the error went away.
I am pretty sure the same problem you have if you are using storyboard. If you are not using storyboard then make sure the class name you are setting in the XIB should be UITableViewController or Your custom class must inherit the UITableViewController in .h file and also make sure your view outlet set to your controller.

Answer 4

This error can also happen if you are using storyboards.
If you start a project as a universal app using storyboard then later change the project to support only in phone when you run the app on a iPad you may see this error.
To fix it temporally change the project back to universal and set the iPad storyboard to use the iPhone one, then set you project back to iPhone.
just an FYI

Answer 5

I think you should change:
[coffeeTypesArray objectAtIndex:row]
to
[coffeeTypesArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]
