Unrecognized Selector sent to Instance in another class - objective-c

Question

I've been trying to figure out something that might be obvious and I'm missing the point or losing it. Is something wrong with my toggleStormButtons function that XCode isn't seeing it?
In my main class I have the following to call a function in another class:
STopLeftMenu *mTopLeft = [[STopLeftMenu alloc]init];
[mTopLeft drawStormToggleButton];
Then in the other class I have 2 functions:
- (void)toggleStormButtons{
[UIButton animateWithDuration:0.50 animations:^{
if (stormToggleBtn.transform.tx == 0){
[stormToggleBtn setTransform:CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(307, 0)];
UIImage* hideButtonImg = [UIImage imageNamed:#"aiga_right_arrow_mod_hide_resize.png"];
[stormToggleBtn setBackgroundImage:hideButtonImg forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}
else{
[stormToggleBtn setTransform:CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(0, 0)];
UIImage* showButtonImg = [UIImage imageNamed:#"aiga_right_arrow_mod_show_resize.png"];
[stormToggleBtn setBackgroundImage:showButtonImg forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}
}];
for(UIView* storm in stormButtonSaves){
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.50 animations:^{
if (storm.transform.tx == 0){
[storm setTransform:CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(307, 0)];
storm.alpha = .65;
}
else{
[storm setTransform:CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(0, 0)];
storm.alpha = 0;
}
}];
}
}
- (void)drawStormToggleButton{
//Storm Pullout Toggle Button
UIImage *buttonImageNormal = [UIImage imageNamed:#"aiga_right_arrow_mod_show_resize.png"];
stormToggleBtn = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 65, 75) ];
[stormToggleBtn setBackgroundImage:buttonImageNormal forState:UIControlStateNormal];
stormToggleBtn.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
stormToggleBtn.alpha = 0.5;
[stormToggleBtn addTarget:self action:#selector(toggleStormButtons) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[viewsToRemove addObject:stormToggleBtn];
[mv addSubview:stormToggleBtn];
}
I seem to be getting an unrecognized selector message:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[__NSMallocBlock__ toggleStormButtons]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7bc9ca0'

Answer 1

It sounds like your STopLeftMenu is being deallocated too early. The button does not retain its target, so you'll need to keep this object around as long as it needs to respond to the button's messages. If you're not sure how the object is getting deallocated, try debugging with Instruments.

I don't see anything wrong with the code you have shown. I tried it in an existing app of mine and while I had to a) declare a UIButton local variable, b) change the image used for the button and c) comment out the stuff in toggleStormButtons, the method was called every time I tapped the button, no problems.
You don't show your storage for the button. Are you using ARC? Is the button strong? If ARC it should be strong. If not ARC and you are not using a property to assign with a retain, that could cause problems.
What does viewsToRemove do? Looks like an array but it could be something else.
Why don't you use + buttonWithType: and set the frame later?
