* Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'Receiver () has no segue with identifier 'unwind''

help me plz!!!

I think you have omitted an identifier. Give the identifier to it and check by using if-statement : if segue.identifier == "yourId" { // Do something } — Mannopson
@ShauketSheikh unwind is String in nationSelect ViewController — greatsk
check unwind is an option string ? if it is option then change it to normal one. — Shauket Sheikh

Looks like you are trying to implement unwind segue and you missed to specify the identifier for unwind segue.

Here are the steps to properly implement unwind segue:

Step 1: If you are trying to implement unwind segue from Vc2 to Vc1 (Coming back to VC1 from VC2) then in VC1 add the IBAction as

@IBAction func unwindToViewController1(segue : UIStoryboardSegue) {
     //you will get control back here when you unwind
}

Step 2: Open storyboard, select VC2 and control drag from ViewController to Exit option in storyboard as shown below

This should show a popover and the method you just declared select it.

Step 3: (Step I think you missed) Select the unwind segue you just added and provide a identifier to it.

Step 4: Now whenever you wanna return back to VC1 you can simply call

self.performSegue(withIdentifier: "unwindSegueToViewController1", sender: nil)

Hope it helps :) Happy coding
