Error while Changing the image of the button from an image to another when clicked on the button

Question

Here is my code :

@IBAction func moreClicked(_ sender: UIButton) {
    if sender.currentImage == #imageLiteral(resourceName: "more_off"){
        sender.setImage(#imageLiteral(resourceName: "more_on"), for: .normal)
    }
    else
    {
        sender.setImage(#imageLiteral(resourceName: "more_off"), for: .normal)
    }

}

I am getting this error:

Your IBActions are probably connected wrongly. Disconnect the action and connect it again. Or are you doing it programmatically with addTarget? — Sweeper
I deleted the previous connection and connected it again. It works now, thank you — Pradnya Achari

The above message means that SecondViewController expects to have method called more: but when the action is triggered and instance from this class tries to find the more: method, it does not recognise such method and the application crashes.

What I think has happened here is: you have dragged action from your Xib/Storyboard to your VC class and named it more:. After this you have renamed it manually (not Refactor > Rename) to moreClicked:. This way the IBAction of the SecondViewController still points to method that is called more:, however your class does not have such method anymore.

So basically, you need to remove the already existing reference of the IBAction from your xib/storyboard and reconnect it with the new method: moreClicked:, and all should be working.
