Xcode 4 and "SIGABRT" error? (only for iphone though) - ios

Question

I'm new to ios development and to stackoverflow. I did try searching both stackoverflow and google before posting.
I built a simple little app, originally just left it an iphone only app, but decided to make it universal in the end. I, stupidly, was messing around when i was getting to know xcode 4 and switched it to universal and then back again so i had to recopy the project and do it again. This time i started it with a universal app. (Not when i created it but after i went to project and selected it there) It created the ipad folder and mainwindow-ipad.xib file but was empty of course since i didn't do anything yet. I had it set up as a tabbed based app so my iphone version had firstview and secondview nib files also, but the ipad version didn't. I set it all up in iphone version first and it worked fine. I then went and laid down the ipad version (i did eliminate the second tab from mainwindow-ipad because i didn't need it)
i then went and created a new nib file and placed it in the ipad folder along with "main-ipad.h" and "main-ipad.m". I copied my code and connected everything and it runs fine on ipad simulator but now when i try and run iphone simulator i get "SIGABRT error. I took a screen shot of it. I don't fully understand objective-c so i was hoping someone can help me? I can post any code or whatever you might need to help me with this error so just ask.
Appreciate any help and suggestions you may have!
Thanks!
[Okay i would have posted image but I can't since I'm a new user, instead i posted the line highlighted and the output from xcode]

Thanks again! If anyone has any suggestions for my code i'd love to here them! Like I said, I'm new to it and thats the only way i know to do this.
------------> If anyone wants, I'll upload the entire project folder. Just ask. Thank you guys for all the help. i'm a n00b with xcode so i haven't got it all down yet.

Answer 1

Post some code where you use finallabel and try to debug your app so you can tell me the line just before the app crashes.
Option 2:
Try to set a BreakPoint in malloc_error_break so we can have more info about the error.
In XCode go to Run -> Show -> BreakPoints (or just cmd + option + B). Then double click to add a new symbol (symbolic breakpoint) and type in malloc_error_break then press enter.
Now run your app and paste your console text.
UPDATE If you need help http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#recipes/xcode_help-breakpoint_navigator/articles/adding_a_symbolic_breakpoint.html
Check your connections inside your InterfaceBuilder, you may have it wrong with fianllabel.
Also check your Custom Class -> Class in your iphone XIB in your InterfaseBuilder
UPDATE
Go to Product -> Clean. Then Run.

Answer 2

The line UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, NSStringFromClass([AppDelegate class])); just means that an exception was thrown during the running of your program. This could range from a memory problem, to a simple runtime error. Look in the target debugger console; it will tell you where the error occurred.
Open "iOS Simulator" Menu in the upper left->Reset Content and Settings. Then quit the iOS simulator and Xcode, and then restart your computer. This will get rid of the other instance of the process.
This May work it's work for me...........

Answer 3

The problem is with your XIB file. This error generally occurs when your finalLabel is incorrectly hooked up or doesn't exist anymore. Check your connections in the Interface Builder once.

Answer 4

I also had this error. After spending so much time, I found how to fix it. First of all go the console and see where is the error (mine was related to storyboards and its code) The way I fixed my error was by going in story board. Below the iPhone screen, there will be small yellow button. Right click on it and you will see that is causing error. Delete(x) it if there is yellow error sign.
If this does not fix your error then try to make new project and then replace its blank files with old files of your old project. I had same error in very beginning and by doing this program run without any error.
Other people suggests by restarting your laptop and running it again, reseting the iOS simulator, or changing iOS debugger (however this does not work in latest x code since there is only one debugger)
Hope this helps
