Argument of '#selector' refers to instance method 'dismissSearchResultsController()' that is not exposed to Objective-C

UPDATE: Found problem.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36818083/selector-refers-to-a-method-that-is-not-exposed-to-objective-c

@objc func dismissSearchResultsController() {
        self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
    }

Everything was going great for me up until this step. I can't seem to shake this error message and I'm not entirely sure where to start. I've checked file names, watched the video twice and this error keeps repeating.

import UIKit

class SearchResultsController: UITableViewController {



    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(barButtonSystemItem: .cancel, target: self, action: #selector(SearchResultsController.dismissSearchResultsController))


    }

    func dismissSearchResultsController() {
        self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
    }

}

Since #selector uses an underlying ObjC method we have to explicitly declare that in the dismiss SearchResultsController function.

@objc func dismissSearchResultsController() {
        self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
