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

Question

I\'m a beginner in everything programming and have been trying to implement some self learned stuff from the Big Nerd Ranch Books. But I\'m really stumped by this problem, and y

Looks like the problem is that someone is accessing the UIApplication instance with a key (repsField) that is not KVC compliant.

Update I don't think you even need to subclass to add a breakpoint. Go to the breakpoint navigator and add a symbolic breakpoint for symbol -[UIApplication setValue:forUndefinedKey:] and then run the application.

I think you can debug it by subclassing UIApplication and set a breakpoint in a dummy override of the setValue:forUndefinedKey: method.

In the file where you call UIApplicationMain add this class:

@interface TestApplication : UIApplication
@end
@implementation TestApplication
- (void)setValue:(id)value forUndefinedKey:(NSString *)key {
    [super setValue:value forUndefinedKey:key]; // set breakpoint here
}
@end

And then change the third argument to UIApplicationMain to @"TestApplication", for example:

UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, @"TestApplication", NSStringFromClass([AppDelegate class]));

Now run the application and it should break into to debugger and you should be able to see the call stack causing it.
