I'm trying to create a weather app in the Build a Weather App in Swift course, and when I go to run the app in the simulator I get the "Thread 1: signal SIGABRT" error.
The line of code associated with this error is:
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
What can I do about this?

Courses Plus Student 1,587 PointsI just had this problem. For anyone looking this problem up like I did, I noticed I had a label linked to two different referencing outlets. It happened when I switched my variable name. I just deleted the old one and it worked good as new.

1,566 PointsWhat specific abruptions am I looking for? What are the most common mistakes in this case? I'm really confused right now.

3,272 PointsThe most common error is when your uielements are not linked up correctly in the IB.

2,369 PointsI'm having the same issue. I am so frustrated! Is there sample code posted for this project somewhere we can cross-check our code to?
Ryan Nelson
2,369 PointsI downloaded the project files, checked every line of code and couldn't find anything. Then I copied/pasted all the code from the project files into my project and it still won't run without this error. It runs from the project files, but not in my project. I checked all the UI elements... I am out of ideas.

3,390 PointsHi, Maybe it's due to some manditory functions when you use delegation with your main main Class (i.e. : class Detail: UIViewController, UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate, ADInterstitialAdDelegate { ... } )
If you use location functions, or tableView functions, you will need to add some functions, even if they are empty, and delegate the triggering to the main class. And some of these functions are mandatory, you cannot NOT provide them.

8,986 PointsThis solved the issue for me earlier! I had connected a table as datasource and then delegate. After that I tried to run the program and it gave the same error. As it turns out I had forgotten to add a function. Thank you for this answer. It made a world of difference in my situation.

2,250 PointsOh, I figured it out. Check that all your connections are correct.
I was having an issue with the "refreshActivityIndicator" as I had named it something different, then changed the name in the viewcontroller file but didn't change the connection (it doesn't update automatically).
You can check that by selecting the object in your storyboard, and clicking on the last button to the right on the right sidebar. That shows its connections.
If you have one with a name that's different than what you put in code, just delete it. Then drag the outlined circle on the right, to the view controller icon on the top of your view. It should offer you the right connection, and done!
