NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[__NSArrayI length]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x165d5150' - ios

Question

Hi I am getting this data form server
NSDictionary*feed=[saveDic objectForKey:#"feed"];
NSLog(#"%#",feed); //Outputs: feed = ( { code = yQ7j0t; "user_id" = 889445341091863; } ); }
NSLog(#"%#",[feed valueForKey:#"code"]);
NSString *referralCode = [feed valueForKey:#"code"];
NSLog(#"%#",referralCode);
self.referralCode.text=referralCode;
And beacuse of that I am getting below error.
Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[__NSArrayI length]: selector sent to instance 0x165d5150'``
Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

The issue is, your feed key holds an array. You are not properly handling that in your code, that is why the crash occurs. When you call valueForKey: it retrieves an array of values held by that specific key.
For fixing that you can use:
NSArray *feed = [saveDic objectForKey:#"feed"];
NSArray *referralCodes = [feed valueForKey:#"code"];
NSString *referralCode = referralCodes.count ? referralCodes[0] : #"";
NSLog(#"%#",referralCode);
But I personally prefer using objectForKey: instead of valueForKey:. So you can re-write the code like:
NSArray *feed = [saveDic objectForKey:#"feed"];
NSString *referralCode = feed.count ? [feed[0] objectForKey:#"code"] : #"";
NSLog(#"%#",referralCode);

Answer 2

Some where you use a variable;
yourVaribleName.length
or
[yourVaribleName length]
which should be
yourVaribleName.count
note: the crash says exactly that "yourVaribleName" is NSArray type where you wants length of the NSArray. But NSArray has not feature "length". NSArray has "Count" feature
//try with this code bellow
NSArray *referralCode = [feed valueForKey:#"code"];
NSLog(#"%#",referralCode);
self.referralCode.text=[referralCode componentsJoinedByString:#" "];//#"," or #"" what event you need

Answer 3

Your feed data is in array. So you have retrieve code value from array.Hope it will help you.
NSMutableArray*feed=[saveDic objectForKey:#"feed"];
NSLog(#"%#",feed);
NSLog(#"%#",[feed valueForKey:#"code"]);
NSString *referralCode = [[feed objectAtIndex:indexPath]valueForKey:#"code"];
NSLog(#"%#",referralCode);
self.referralCode.text=referralCode;
