Question

I'm having the same problem a couple of others have had and I tried resolving it by changing 'recipientIds' to 'recipientsIds' as suggested but this doesn't seem to be the problem.

Does anyone know what else could be causing this?

It means that when I run the program I can't see the message, or the icon. :(

Make sure you Have the right class name. The M in messages is capitalized. I made the mistake of not capitalizing at first.

PFQuery *query = [PFQuery queryWithClassName:@"Messages"];

The code should work fine, just make sure that all the keys in your query match the keys on Parse.com. If your key on Parse.com is something like "recipientIds" and in your code you use something like "recipientsIds" it will not work. It's really easy to make mistakes like this, so make sure your keys match.

This may sound strange, but could you add this line of code to yours?

PFUser *currentUser = [PFUser currentUser];
if (currentUser) {
    //Here goes your query
    //The last line of code here should be "]};" from your block of code of [query findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock: 
}

This needs to go right after [super viewWillAppear:animated]; in the viewWillAppear method of your InboxViewController.

Did you already checked that your messages are being stored in parse.com?

Are you 'logged in' as one of the recipients of the message? If you didn't send it to 'yourself' then you won't see it.

In your willViewAppear method of InboxViewController, check self.messages with an NSLog, right after this line of code:

self.messages = objects;

Hi, Brock Ormond, I logged in under the name of the person i sent the message to, and there is still no message retrieved and nothing showing in inbox.

I flipped the exact same IF statement to viewWillAppear and I'm still getting the same error message. Does that if block need to be changed somewhat? Thanks for keeping with this by the way!

If I can't resolve it at all I'm just going to keep going with last few videos and make sure my storyboard changes are perfect and then compare and contrast TH source code.

This is what I have now.

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    }

-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewWillAppear:YES];

    PFUser *currentUser = [PFUser currentUser];
    if (currentUser) {
        NSLog(@"Current user:%@", currentUser.username);
    }
    else {
        [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"showLogin" sender:self];    }

    PFQuery *query = [PFQuery queryWithClassName:@"Messages"];
    [query whereKey:@"recipientsIds" equalTo:[[PFUser currentUser]objectId]];
    [query orderByDescending:@"createdAt"];
    [query findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock:^(NSArray *objects, NSError *error) {
        if (error){
            NSLog(@"Error:%@ %@", error, [error userInfo]);
        }
        else {
            //We found messages
            self.messages = objects;
            NSLog(@"Messages: %@", self.messages);
            [self.tableView reloadData];
            NSLog(@"Retrieved %d messages", [self.messages count]);
        }

    }];
}

After I add a breakpoint, how do I assess it for where the code crashes? For example, I just added breakpoint after viewDidLoad and that is returning a green line with thread 1.1 highlighted next to it. Does this have any significance or is that just the normal way to signify where it had a break?

i added the exception breakpoint and this is what came back:

I had a similar problem when I updated to Xcode 6.1 and I fixed it with the if statement that I told you before.

Take a look at my code if you want.

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    self.moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] init];
    PFUser *currentUser = [PFUser currentUser];
    if (currentUser) {
        NSLog(@"Current user: %@", currentUser.username);
    } else {
        [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"showLogin" sender:self];
    }
}
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
    PFUser *currentUser = [PFUser currentUser];
    if (currentUser) {
        PFQuery *query =  [PFQuery queryWithClassName:@"Message"];
        NSLog(@"%@", [[PFUser currentUser] objectId]);
        [query whereKey:@"recipientIds" equalTo:[[PFUser currentUser] objectId]];
        [query orderByDescending:@"createdAt"];
        [query findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock:^(NSArray *objects, NSError *error) {
            if (error) {
                NSLog(@"Error: %@ %@", error, [error userInfo]);
            } else {
                self.messages = objects;
                NSLog(@"Messages: %@", self.messages);
                [self.tableView reloadData];
            }
        }];
    }
}

Hi, I'm not sure if you figured this out or not, but I had the same problem but it works now. This is my code:

(void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad];

PFUser *currentUser = [PFUser currentUser]; if ( currentUser) { NSLog(@"Current User: %@", currentUser.username);

} else { [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"showLogin" sender:self]; }

}

(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated { [super viewWillAppear:animated];

PFQuery *query = [PFQuery queryWithClassName:@"Messages"]; [query whereKey:@"recipientIds" equalTo:[[PFUser currentUser] objectId]]; [query orderByDescending:@"createdAt"]; [query findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock:^(NSArray *objects, NSError *error) { if (error) { NSLog(@"Error: %@ %@", error, [error userInfo]); } else { //We found messages self.messages = objects; [self.tableView reloadData]; NSLog(@"Retrieved %d messages", [self.messages count]); }

}]; }
