I have run into a rather odd problem, my app crashes if I try to run [webView loading]!

The BOOL is even declared in the docs, but it throws an exception when trying to access it.

This is really annoying, since without this BOOL, I can’t work out wether or not the webView has really finished loading…

(running iOS 4.1)

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'NSException'

Caused by this little line:

    Ah, right. There is no -loading method. There is an -isLoading method. The property name is called “loading”. So if you’re using the method call syntax, as you are, you would call [webView isLoading].

    Note that the console says:

    2010-11-05 22:14:24.151 MyApp[55671:207] -[UIWebView loading]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x764c5a0
