ARC - Instance message does not declare a method with selector

Question

i use this line of code :

[self parseXMLFileAtURL:url];

And i get this error :

Automatic Refercence Counting Issue , Receiver type "xmlParser" for instance message does not declare a method with selector "parseXMLFileAtUrl

Any ideas what this is?

Does selfactually has a method called parseXMLFileAtUrl? — Rui Peres
by self u mean in the same controller? if thats right , yes the method is just below that! — donparalias
Copy the method and paste it before your call. If this works, it means that you need to declare it. — Rui Peres

You have something like this:

  -(void)myMethod{
     [self parseXMLFileAtURL:url];
   }

  -(void)parseXMLFileAtURL:(NSURL*)myURL{
      // Some stuff
   }

Put like this:

 -(void)parseXMLFileAtURL:(NSURL*)myURL{
      // Some stuff
   }

 -(void)myMethod{
     [self parseXMLFileAtURL:url];
  }

If this works, it means you need to go to your .h file and declare the method:

 -(void)parseXMLFileAtURL:(NSURL*)myURL;

Or create a private interface in the .m file and declare it there.
