Common Errors

• Error invoking method 'addSubview:' on 'UIWindow' because -[??? superview]: unrecognized selector sent to instance?

  If you are trying to add a UIViewController, make sure you are adding the view, not the viewController.

• -[NSCFNumber isEqualToString:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xXXXXXXXX?

  Objective-C expects a string but you sent it something else. If you want to send an object as a string use the tostring() function first.

• Why aren't my delegate/datasource methods being called?

  Did you declare the protocols in your waxClass? It should look like this.

    waxClass{"MyController", UITableViewController, protocols={"UITableViewDelegate", "UITableViewDataSource"}}  

• Could not find protocol named 'XXX'?

First try adding the protocol to the file ProtocolLoader.h located in your project (This file is included in the Wax XCode template.) If that doesn't fix the problem, follow the steps below.

Are you using a framework (like MapKit or MessageUI) that isn't included by default? You will need to add it to your project

1. In Xcode, right-click "Frameworks" -> "Add" -> "Existing Frameworks".

2. Then select "XXX.framework" and click OK.

3. In main.m import the framework. For example, with MapKit you would type #import <MapKit/MapKit.h>
