UIAlertView crashes when added to app

Question

I am trying to impliment a basic UIAlertView into my app (I am using storyboard). But when I run my app, it goes to the debugger screen after stalling at the app's loading screen.

my .h:

    #import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
    @interface MindTripAnim :UIViewController {   
      IBOutlet UIImageView *animation;
    }

    - (IBAction)showMessage:(id)sender;

    @end

and my .m:

#import "MindTripAnim.h"
@interface MindTripAnim ()
@end

@implementation MindTripAnim

- (void)viewDidLoad {
   animation.animationImages = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                             [UIImage imageNamed:@"trips1.png"],
                             [UIImage imageNamed:@"trips2.png"],
                             [UIImage imageNamed:@"trips3.png"],
                             [UIImage imageNamed:@"trips4.png"],
                             [UIImage imageNamed:@"trips5.png"],                          
                             [UIImage imageNamed:@"trips6.png"],nil];
   [animation setAnimationRepeatCount:0];    
   animation.animationDuration = 0.65; 
   [animation startAnimating]; 
}

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

- (IBAction)showMessage:(id)sender
{
    UIAlertView *message = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Hello World!" message:@"This is your first UIAlertview message." delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"Close" otherButtonTitles:nil];
    [message show];
}
@end

I am not sure what I am doing wrong, or why the app keeps stalling at the loading screen, please help!

I found this in the debugger

Answer 1

The issue is that you have added alert(or a pointer to some view called alert) in your storyboard but the same is not added to the class code. If you are displaying the alert view programmatically, you can remove it from the storyboard.
