Self-destructing Messaging App Failing

After completing the Viewing Videos Using MPMoviePlayerController portion of the project, my app would not launch on my iPhone 5s. The simulator worked fine. This happened after adding the video sharing capabilities.

After completing the next stage completing the portion where I had to actually destroy the message, everything continued to work fine in the simulator. I logged out to log in as another user and received this error.

Now the app will not launch in the simulator or iPhone 5s and continues to receive this error. I've uploaded my code to dropbox for anyone to check out. Not sure where to start.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

In the prepareForSegue method of your InboxViewController you have a weird if statement. Firstly, it should have an else if and then there is a misplaced semi-colon. It should really look like the following:

- (void) prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender   {
    if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:@"showLogin"]) {
        [segue.destinationViewController setHidesBottomBarWhenPushed:YES];
    } else if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:@"showImage"]) {
        [segue.destinationViewController setHidesBottomBarWhenPushed:YES];
        ImageViewController *imageViewController = (ImageViewController *)segue.destinationViewController;
        imageViewController.message = self.selectedMessage;
    }       
}
