A user got this crash [__NSArrayM allKeys]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x178754d0
This is where the crash occurred.
NSArray *sortedArray = [[array allKeys] sortedArrayUsingFunction:sort context:nil];
I am not sure how this can occur. Any tips or suggestions on how to prevent this will be appreciated.
Edit:
This is my array, I should change the variable name.
id array = [parse objectWithString:answer];
What instance type is array? NSArray has no allKeys message that it can send, thus the unrecognized selector. You are treating array most likely as an NSDictionary.
allKeys function is of NSDictionary not NSArray or NSMutableArray.
You should call this on NSDictionary instances.

I'm trying to make an NSArray from a key in save data and make it mutable. Here's what I have so far:
NSMutableArray *availableThemes = [[[saveData valueForKey:#"availableThemes"] array] mutableCopy];
If I'm correct, sending array makes this object returned by availableThemes an array with the contents of the object, and then mutableCopy makes this array a NSMutableArray. Sadly, and obviously, I'm not. I get this error:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[__NSCFArray array]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x786c7430'
Here, I thought, sending array would turn this data into a NSArray. Instead, it causes a complier error. I know I did something stupidly wrong. Question is, what did I do?
You are calling the class method array on an instance of NSArray.
NSMutableArray *availableThemes = [[[saveData valueForKey:#"availableThemes"] array] mutableCopy];
From your crash log it is clear that the availableThemes key returns an NSArray object, so change your code to:
NSMutableArray *availableThemes = [[saveData valueForKey:#"availableThemes"] mutableCopy];
I have a loop that works fine the first time through but the second time through the loop I get:
-[NSNull count]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x3a094a70
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[NSNull count]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x3a094a70'
Here is the part in my code where I know it is crashing (the last line):
...
NSLog(#"dict::%#",dictForPost);
// collect the photo urls in an array
photosInDict = [NSArray array];
// photos is an array of dictionaries in the dictionary
photosInDict = dictForPost[#"photos"];
if (photosInDict.count) {
....
I know that when photosInDict doesnt have pictures in the dic it crashes but I dont get why since I initiated the array above it.
photosInDict = dictForPost[#"photos"]
replaces the object previously allocated and stored in photosInDict.
Therefore it does not make sense to allocate the array before. Just
NSArray * photosInDict = dictForPost[#"photos"];
and then check
if ([photosInDict isKindOfClass:[NSArray class]]) {
// Yes, it is an array. Do something with it.
if ([photosInDict count]) {
...
}
}
The result of dictForPost[#"photos"]; is giving you an NSNull object, not an array.
One option would be this:
NSLog(#"dict::%#",dictForPost);
// collect the photo urls in an array
// photos is an array of dictionaries in the dictionary
photosInDict = dictForPost[#"photos"];
if ([photosInDict isKindOfClass:[NSArray class]] && photosInDict.count) {
The line:
photosInDict = [NSArray array];
is pointless and should be removed.
You initialize photosInDict with an empty array, but then you overwrite it with the dictionary's value for "photos", which just happen to be NSNull. You need to check why your dictionary does not have an array for that key.
If the value can be NSNull depending on the situation, you must check whether it is an array or not before trying to count or taking some other action.
I basically get this error
'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[__NSCFConstantString objectForKey:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x581f0'
on my program. I think it refers to this call I make,
if (data != nil) {
if([data objectForKey:#"username"]){
// NSArray *check= [[NSArray alloc]init];
//check=[data allValues];
[dict setObject:[data allValues] forKey:#"args"];
}else{
[dict setObject:[NSArray arrayWithObject:data] forKey:#"args"];
}
at the setObject:[data allValues]. I don't know why it gives that error but data is an NSDictionary and I'm getting all the values and placing it in an array.
Is the error happening here:
if([data objectForKey:#"username"]){
I assume so, as that is the only place objectForKey seems to be called. You are calling it on a variable called 'data', which i'm guessing simply is not a dictionary. You should NSLog its type to see.
Looking this [__NSArrayI allKeys]: unrecognized selector sent to instance error up, it seemingly occurs when you send an NSArray the allKeys message which is meant for NSDictionary, but in this case I'm very clearly sending it to an NSDictionary.
Here's the code I use when interfacing with the Pocket API:
NSDictionary *articles = [response objectForKey:#"list"];
// Create an array we can use to sort the keys (and thus the articles) in order of when they were added
NSMutableArray *allKeys = [[articles allKeys] mutableCopy];
The last line there causes the error. But articles is very clearly declared as an NSDictionary? Why is it not liking it?
Oddly enough, if I inspect it at runtime it says it's an NSArray! Why did it change?
(lldb) po articles
$5 = 0x082103e0 <__NSArrayI 0x82103e0>(
)
(lldb) po [articles class]
$6 = 0x01b83b8c __NSArrayI
(lldb)
It may be declared in your code as a dictionary, but that doesn't make it a dictionary. It is truly an array and that is why you get the exception. Check your response so you know what you should expect.
Your code compiles because the compiler doesn't know that it's going to be an array and it trusts you that it will be a dictionary. It does this because objectForKey: returns id.
NSString* year = [self.years objectAtIndex:[indexPath section]];
//get algorithms for that year
NSArray* algorithmSection = [self.algorithmNames objectForKey:year];
NSLog(#"%#", indexPath);
//get specific algorithm based on that row
cell.textLabel.text = [algorithmSection objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
return cell;
For whatever reason, when I compile this, I get a SIGABRT error. It happens on the
cell.textLabel.text
line. Error:

Your algorithmSection variable, which your code expects to be an NSArray, is actually an NSDictionary, which does not respond to the selector -objectAtIndex:.
As lemnar and mjisawai said, you are actually dealing with an NSDictionary.
The way to fix this depends on the context of your app.
If you happen to receive either, NSArrays or NSDictionary objects then you may determine this by texting the object's class.
i.e.
if ([algorithmSection isKindOfClass:[NSArray class]]) {
...
} else if ([algorithmSection isKindOfClass:[NSDictionary class]]) {
...
}
Could the object at key "year" in your algorithmSections dictionary be a dictionary instead of an array? That's what it looks like is happening here.
