Displaying a new View in IOS - ios

Question

I am trying to display a view that contains details of the user's account. Being fairly new to iOS development, the following code is what should work (based the docs and searches). Yet, the application crashes and I get a an error stating unrecognized selector:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'NSException'
The method where this occurs is in a method in FirstViewController, which gets called as a result of a touch up event inside a button:
-(void)showProfileView {
NSLog( #"%#", #"Displaying profile view" ); // ***
UAProfileView *profileView = [[UAProfileView alloc] init];
[self presentViewController:profileView animated:TRUE completion:0];
}
This UAProfielView is a subclass of UIViewController and was was created along with an appropriate .xib file.
So the question is, how do I display this new view in my iPhone application? Using a storyboard is not an option because I have to support iOS 4.0.

Answer 1

The documentation for presentViewController:animated:completion: states that it is only supported on iOS 5.0 and up. You mentioned support for iOS 4.0.
Try presentModalViewController:animated: instead. Alternatively, use a nagivationController and do pushViewController:animated:

Answer 2

#Mike, make sure you connected the nib to the file's owner.

Answer 3

Presumably, the base class of UAFirstViewController is also UIViewController? Are you getting any warnings when you build?
I would personally use completion:nil, but I don't think that will make a difference.
So, if you are getting no warnings, then turn zombies on and see if you are dealing with a dead object. Instructions are here
How to enable NSZombie in Xcode?
Run the program and see if you get a zombie warning in the console. If that's the case, then the memory management is wrong.
If all of that is ok, post the code where you call showProfileView.
