iOS Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSUnknownKeyException'

[cmi2012]

I have a brand new MacBook Pro with a new download and install of xcode 4.3.3. When I start a new "Single View" iPad project and immediately try to run it with no modifications (iPad 5.1 Simulator), I get the following in the Target Output and this line in the main.m file is highlighted

return UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, NSStringFromClass([AppDelegate class]));

I am new to xcode but not programming. Since there are no modifications to the initial code, I assume there is something wrong with the installation or configuration of xcode? Any help would be appreciated!

Apparently there is a property in a XIB that is calling "view", so right click in the xibs on the window or VIew don't know what you have, look if something has the property "view", if it is like I think, it should have a yellow '!' next to it, to show you that it hasn't been found

Good luck.

I guess I am confused! This is an Out-Of-The-Box new project with no modification what so ever. How would there be a code error? I am new to Xcode so please bear with me! I only have one .xib file: ViewController.xib and when I click on it, I get the Interface Builder with no visible code. I have attached all code files for this project.

I found what was wrong.
In your 'iPad deployment info" the XIB was there at "Main Interface", I think you "accidently" filled that in or not? I'm not sure and not blaming you, but changing that should resolve the issue (change it to blank, because AppDelegate will do this for you.)

Now it's time to show what a newbie I am, how do I get to there? I do not remember changing anything and this error is recreated with every new project that I create. Thanks!

Found it! Thanks!

Great, but does the solution also works?

Newb as well

I had the same error as cmi2012 and followed jnoxx instructions and it works thanks for the input jnoxx!

I'm an experienced iOS developer, and I'm not sure what you are referring to.

Is the 'iPad deployment info' a setting in the plist? In target build settings? How do you get to it?

It's puzzling that the OP gets this problem on a brand new, blank project. I tried it (currently running Xcode 4.5, the beta) I don't have this problem.

Hey Duncan, I know you are an experienced developer, no doubt, hands down.
What I was referring to was the iPad deployment on your target

In older projects (I never had it since a while, so don't know what happened in OP's case), you had a Mainwindows.xib, it was trying to call it, but wasn't there.
Hope I made it more clear now.

Thanks for the clarification.

Indeed, if you select the project in the leftmost column, then select the target, and select the "summary tab", there is an input box "Main interface". If you tap in that, it changes from blank to putting the name of a view controller "ViewController" in that box.

If you do that, the project then crashes on launch as the OP reported.

To get rid of the crash, you have to clear out that text, then click in the other input box to get it to save. Then running the project a second time doesn't crash any more.
