iOS Sigabrt???

[dbramhall]

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:

Nibs are usually not very useful when your view controller is a UITableViewController. The error is

'-[UITableViewController loadView] loaded the "CoffeesView" nib but didn't get a UITableView.'

UITableViewController creates its own tableview in code. It also expects that its tableview will be fullscreen (except for a navigation controller or tabbarcontroller). If you use a nib with a UITableViewController it can only have a table in it and the table must be set as the view controller's view outlet. This is what the error means; you haven't set the view outlet to be a table view.

If you want to load a nib that has other views in it then you need to use a UIViewController subclass to own the nib, not a UITableViewController.
