The following method has no warnings or errors associated with it in Xcode.

Code: 
-(void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
    ChecklistsViewController *clvc = [segue destinationViewController];
    NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.tableView indexPathForSelectedRow];
    clvc.htmlString = [array2 objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
}

I receive the following message at runTime.

Code: 
"'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[ChecklistsViewController setHtmlString:]: unrecognised"

I am developing for iPad so these controllers have been 'targeted for iPad' if that makes any difference.

Why is setHtmlString unrecognised? It is set as a public NSString property in the destinationViewController.

The destinationViewController is not embedded in a navigation controller.

First, you didn't provide the entire error message. I suspect that it says that it's an unrecognized selector on the object that is actually pointed at by the segue (segue.destinationViewController) - maybe a UIViewController or UITableViewController object. Stop in the debugger and determine exactly what the object is that gets stored in your clvc variable.

If that is the case, it means that the view controller that the segue points at is not a ChecklistsViewController. Double check that and get back to us.

----------

array2 contains strings only. the htmlString variable is a string property.

there are no warnings or errors in Xcode at compile time (before run time).
 
Obviously, you're trying to call the method on ChecklistsViewController called setHtmlString.
Tada, rocket science debugging.
Obviously somewhere, on a button or whatever you have that code (i didn't read through all the code), so therefore your code is failing hard.
 
Not trying to hijack the post but in all my segues I use segue.destinationViewController instead of [segue destinationViewController]

Is there a big problem with this?

Brackets-syntax is called Objective C 1.1, using the DOT syntax is actually Objective C 2.0.
Allthough I've had some issues with mixing them which caused alot of confusion, i believe the dot syntax is mostly used for lets say setting properties etc.
Square brackets are ofcourse needed to call Methods on classes/objects.

Right, which is why I use segue.destinationViewController. To me that reminds me that the destinationVC is a property of the segue (maybe, I am kinda new to this stuff) whereas when I call [self performSegue...] it is a method on the self object
