SIGABRT error when clicking a switch on the IOS simulator

Hi! I have been working on an iPhone app Cruzia and was wondering if anyone knows why I am getting this SIGABRT error in the simulator whenever I click one of the switches in the options menu of my game. Here is my 15 main file with the error commented off.

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

#import "CIAAppDelegate.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    @autoreleasepool {
        return UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, NSStringFromClass([CIAAppDelegate class]));
//Thread 1: signal SIGABRT
    }
}

For reference, here is my ViewController.m

#import "CIAViewController.h"

@interface CIAViewController()


@end

@implementation CIAViewController



-(IBAction)press {
    cruzia.hidden = 0;
    textarea.hidden = 0;

    musiclbl.hidden = 1;
    cruzia.text = @"Play";
    textarea.text = @"Hello! You are playing the game of Cruzia!";
        if (clicked == 1)  {

                CFURLRef soundFileURLRef;

If anyone knows why I am getting this error, I would greatly appreciate it if they could tell me. Thanks again, -Raph

PS: If anyone can help I would be very happy as I posted this 7 hours ago! Thanks!

Go to your storyboard or xib, right click on files owner and see if there are any warnings on the screen that causes the app to crash. You need to actually manually check for these, for some reason XCode doesn't alert you to them. This is usually why I get a sigbart error. What it means is you connected up an IBOutlet or IBAction, then deleted in in .h and .m but forgot to delete the connection in the storyboard/xib

Thanks but there were no warnings there. PS. This was the cause of a previous sigbart error so thanks for reminding me to try. I tried twice and ran my app again but it made no difference. Also, Files Owner is now called View Controller.
