I followed every step just like in the VDO. there are notting wrong until I run the app it crash! and say something like this.

Treehouse Moderator 37,862 PointsThere is a post in the featured posts in which Pasan says that when he recorded the weather app for Swift he used a beta version of xcode and Swift, please read it, it might answer the problem as he might have recorded in the same version of xcode.

7,306 PointsI had this same error. What solved it for me was checking the Main.storyboard source code file and see if there are any old references to outlets that you deleted.
Right click on the Main.storyboard file and then go to Open As > Source Code.
Looking at your error message, once on the source code screen do a search (command-F) for showPlaylistDetail and see if there are any extra "ghost" outlets or any code errors where that is present in your code.
In my case I had a ghost line from an outlet I had previously deleted. Once I deleted that, everything ran great. Hope that helps.

Treehouse TeacherJirayu Piriyametha, Caleb Kleveter and Carlos Pfister,
This error occurs when you attempt to provide a string as a key but either the string does not match the key or that key doesn't exist.
In your specific instance, it says the incorrect key is "showPlaylistDetail" which is the segue identifier. Go to interface builder, click on the segue from the master to detail view and in the attributes inspector, make sure that there is a segue identifier provided. If there is one already, make sure it matches the identifier passed in the prepareForSegue method where you check for
swift
if segue.identifier == "showPlaylistDetailSegue"
As you can see in my code snippet above, the segue says showPlaylistDetailSegue for the identifier so you probably have "showPlaylistDetailSegue" in one place and "showPlaylistDetail" in the other.
Let me know if that fixes the error.
Oh, and re Caleb's post about Swift and betas...this was recorded on a stable version of Xcode (6.1.1).

14,452 PointsCheck your dictionary or if you are calling values from a dictionary sometimes people forget that the key is in a string so make sure to add ""
Apart from this its very hard without seeing the code to help, try downloading the treehouse project and look at it side by side with yours
Sorry couldn't help much Dom

4,788 Pointsthanks Caleb, I tried your solution but didn't work...any other idea on how to solve it? Thanks.

Treehouse Moderator 37,862 PointsSorry, I don't. That is the only context I have seen that error in.

Treehouse Moderator 37,862 PointsI think that's a common error, good bug squashing!

3,191 PointsI had this issue as well, for me it had to do with a missing outlet. Which means we deleted the outlet from the code but we did not remove it from the connections. In my case it was a reference to the button that had not been deleted. So the compiler was looking for an outlet for the button that I deleted in order to replace with the gesture.
TL;DR - It possible that you still have a connection sitting around for the button that you deleted.
This is a pretty simple fix, that explains how to remove that connection:

3,374 PointsHad the same problem and it took me an hour to find the solution - thanks to tips from Joshua Michaels and Pasan Premaratne . While coding I made some errors in spelling - e.g. "Descritpion" -> changed it for "Description" and "ImageCover" -> "CoverImage". I changed it manually in the code but of course it was still in the MainStoryboard source. After a few runs and debugs I found these errors and changed manually in MainStoryboard source code (Open As -> Source Code)
One small remark to what Pasan wrote - in MainStoryBoard source there is showPlaylistDetailSegue as identifier and showPlaylistDetail as action selector and it seems fine. Works for me :)

1,970 PointsSame here. I get the exact same crash message. I downloaded the teacher's project to compare my code to his and I can't find the mistake. The app gets hung up on the initial screen that says "Algorythm". Went back and redid everything, can't find where the heck I went wrong.
The build is successful, but then it terminates with the message from Jirayu's post.
