method in your ViewController
class, which I believe should be a UIButton
. Then, in the Utilities pane on the right of Xcode, click on the Connections Inspector at the far right of the top set of icons in the Utilites pane (a circle icon with an arrow in the middle). Then, you should see that the Touch Up Inside action is connected to the button that you connected to the showFunFact
method in your view controller. If there is a second item with the same connection, then delete the unwanted one.
That is the usual issue for me.
Also, make sure that if you connected a button to the showFunFact
method and then renamed either the method or the button, you will have to delete the connection in the Connections Inspector and reconnect the button to the method in the view controller.
