Here's how to create a new user with additional data

  PFUser * user = [PFUser user];

  user.username = @"user1";
  user.password = @"12345";
  user.email = @"user1@example.com";

  user[@"fullName"] = @"Happy User";
  user[@"birthDay"] = [NSDate date];

  [user signUp];

Below my code:

PFUser *newUser = [PFUser user]; newUser.username = username; newUser.password = password; newUser.email = email; newUser[@"Town"] = town;

    [newUser signUp];

Error : Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSUnknownKeyException', reason: '[<SignupViewController 0x9b40e20> setValue:forUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key Town.'

thats pretty odd.

are you sure you import parse framework and everything?

Please dowload the blank starter project

https://www.parse.com/downloads/ios/parse-starter-project/latest

and try your code.

I did that already, do i need to modify something in those fileS as well like the the PFuser.h?

Just add your parse keys.
