Core data exception: initWithCoder:]: unrecognized selector sent - ios

I'm experiencing this issue using Core Data.
CoreData: error: exception during fetchRowForObjectID: -[PharmaceuticalComp initWithCoder:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x9ab1920 with userInfo of (null)

PharmaComp is an NSManaged subclass linked to another entity User by a transient property -linkedPharma. User has this property in readonly mode. Every time I call linkedPharma it starts a fetch request that provides me the PharmaComp instance. When I try to delete User, i get this exception. the strange fact is that linkedPharma is a property not listed in the Model, thus PharmaComp shouldn't be involved in any sort of operation.The other fact is that it seems to try to use NSKeyedUnarchivier on it, but I don't understand why.
No object is hearing for NSManagedObjectContextObjectsDidChangeNotification.
I have no idea about where it came from.

The solution was pretty simple.
User had also another relationship with a transformable container (NSArray) which was holding (for a bug) a PharmaComp instance.

Please answer
Thanks in advance.

Solution
I had the same problem and the issue was that I didn't explicitly set a value for the useTouchId parameter. This bug is known since 2018 and still not fixed. Shows you how good ionic is as an ecosystem and how much the people care 😤 Worse is that even the official docs(!) have an incorrect example:
Wrong
this.keychain.set(key, value).then(() => { ... }
Correct
this.keychain.set(key, value, false).then(() => { ... }
Adding the third parameter should fix your issues.

Fix a NSInvalidArgumentException: *** setObjectForKey: object cannot be nil (key: updated_objectIDs)

I am writing an iOS app, using Swift.
The app crashes some time and what I get in the console is this:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** setObjectForKey: object cannot be nil (key: updated_objectIDs)'
*** First throw call stack:
(0x1858151b8 0x18424c55c 0x1856f5a0c 0x1856ffa40 0x187bc3540 0x187b4edf8 0x187b399bc 0x187b329dc 0x1857c20c0 0x1857bfcf0 0x1857c0180 0x1856ee2b8 0x1871a2198 0x18b7357fc 0x18b730534 0x100069440 0x1846d15b8)
libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException
(lldb)
I am trying to figure out where this is coming from.
I have no idea at the moment what parts of my code could cause this crash.
What is the proper way to find more information and possibly find the part in code that is causing this crash?
You can create a new Exception breakpoint.This will help you find out line number where the exception is occurring in Xcode.
Check below link for more details.
Xcode doesn't show the line that causes a crash
Objective C - getting line number or full stack trace from debugger error?
So, I have tried the suggested approaches. No luck yet.
Maybe adding the rest of the log can help people getting more information and maybe help me figure out what is going on. This is what I see in the console when the app crashes:

libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException
in the exception I'm seeing: setObjectForKey and a key of updated_objectIDs.
There's a couple things I would do to track this down. First thing I might try would be to search for updated_objectIDs and see where it might be getting passed into setObjectForKey.
Then log the address (or description) of the object being passed in at that point and you might catch it as it's happening.
Even better (and what I do in my own work) is to set a breakpoint on all exceptions. You can do it by following the steps in this answer in this closely related question.
Then, when the exception fires, Xcode will stop at that line of code.

Cannot remove an observer <NSArrayController> for the key path "count"

I am getting:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSRangeException', reason: 'Cannot remove an observer <NSArrayController> for the key path "count" from <MyElement> because it is not registered as an observer.'
I have a background NSOperation which is populating the properties of MyElement. These MyElement objects are in an array managed by NSArrayController and are bound to a NSTableView.
Could this be related to changing properties on a background thread and if so, how can I disable that so that the table doesn't see those changes until they are complete (and can be updated on the main thread)?
I have it set to sort by a "size" (NSNumber) property and
The crash looks like:
0 CoreFoundation 0x00007fff87ec44f2 __exceptionPreprocess + 178

16 MyApp 0x0000000100051a10 -[MyPropertiesOperation main] + 496
It seems that I can't modify these objects in a background thread, and I see no way to temporarily suspend an observer, so instead I am adding all the properties to a dictionary on the background thread and then on the main thread calling:
[element setValuesForKeysWithDictionary:properties];

Exact line for exception in Xcode

I am new to Xcode and Objective-C. Unlike Android Java exceptions, I didn't find any exact line number where the exception occurred, though function name can be known from the crash log. Following is the crash log:

You can add a breakpoint to stop on all exceptions.
From Apple Docs
In the bottom-left corner of the breakpoints navigator, click the Add button.
Choose Add Exception Breakpoint.
In the Exception pop-up menu, choose the type of exception on which you want execution to stop:
All. Stops on all exceptions.
Objective-C. Stops on Objective-C exceptions.
C++. Stops on C++ exceptions.
To stop on a particular C++ exception, specify the exception name.
Choose the phase of the exception handling process at which you want program execution to stop.
Click Done.
The crash is happening in your +[ReportGenerator prepareReportList:] method. Specifically, when attempting to add an object to an array.
Only, the object is nil. Which is why the log starts with object cannot be nil.
(Note: As you come from the world of Java exceptions, don't make the mistake of thinking that ObjC exceptions are designed to be caught and recovered from. They aren't.)

Firebase initWitURL crashes [FRepo initTransactions]: unrecognized selector

I have set up two similar firebase applications.
In both cases I call
self.firebase = [[Firebase alloc] initWithUrl:kFirebaseRoot];
in one case everything works fine.
In the other case I get a crash

This appears to be something going on within Firebase, so I presume there must be something different in the way I have set up the app in the two cases. However, I cannot see a difference.
Can anyone offer any clues?
This answer was posted in the comments of the question.
The problem seems to be having -objC instead of -ObjC in the linker flags.
Just for completion sake for the next person, this is exactly where it can be found:
