Xcode 6 Unknown class in Interface Builder file

votes

The error comes when the button links to a view controller. I am desperate to fix this problem. I am also quite new to Xcode.

I have tried, but none of them worked:

  • Unknown class in Interface Builder file Xcode error
  • Xcode 6 Strange Bug: Unknown class in Interference Builder file
  • XCode Unknown class ***** in Interface Builder file

The error is: 

2015-04-19 15:17:32.565 *****[*******] Unknown class ******* in Interface Builder file.
2015-04-19 15:17:32.671 *****[********] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSUnknownKeyException', reason: '[<UIViewController 0x7aecbd00> setValue:forUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key ********.'

Have you verified that view controller linked to the button has correct class in the identity inspector? - Jakub Vano
I followed one of the answers that said to just type the class named, because the class won't come up in the identity inspector - Milan H
Are you sure you have typed it correctly? - Jakub Vano
I am 100% sure, but I think you might be on to something - Milan H
There might be something wrong with the class or something - Milan H

It is cause when you change the name of a IBOutlet property in your .h/.m which you've already connected up to File's Owner in the nib.

From your nib:

Select the object in IB and go to the 'Connections Inspector'. Under 'Referencing Outlets' make sure that your object isn't still connected to the old property name... if it is, click the small 'x' to delete the reference and build again.

1.Unknown class in Interface Builder file Xcode error means one of your ViewController in the StoryBoard linked with the unknown Class. Just Check it carefully.

2.After reading your error report, reason: '[<UIViewController 0x7aecbd00> setValue:forUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key. But lacking of specific codes, I can just recommend you some 'solutions'.

I will write a storeData function as the example. And objectA is the instance variable of your DataObject Class.

func storeData() { 
let defaults = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults()
var data = NSKeyedArchiver.archivedDataWithRootObject(objectA) 
defaults.setValue(data, forUndefinedKey: "DataBase") // The error occur in there
}

  • See that data, which is the compression of objectA. And the objectA was inherited from the Class which mentioned in this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key.

  • The forUndefinedKey is kind of mark or name which leads complier to find correct data.

  • Solution: I guess the error was occurred in the process of the I/O for data. So check your each I/O function and block to verify that if the un-compression of that parameter, data, inherited from the same Class.

PS: If you gonna use NSUserDefaults to store your data, you should understand NSKeyedArchiver and NSKeyedUnarchiver which like Zip to compress the data. The complier will Archive your data in the processing of storing data and Unarchive the data in the processing of reading the data.
