Question

I’m building an iOS (5.1) app on Xcode (4.4.1), and I’m almost done with the first phase of development, but I’m stuck on the final line of code. I’ve been using Kumulos as a backend & API solution, and at the moment all the API is working fine except for this bit:

Kumulos* k = [[Kumulos alloc]init];
[k setDelegate:self];
[k createNewTimePointWithJourneyIDFK:[journeyID integerValue]
    andTime:currentDate andLat:[lat floatValue] andLon:[lon floatValue]];

When it hits the createNewTimePointWithJourneyIDFK: method, it terminates. In the log it mentions this method and says an unrecognised selector was sent to an instance.

Now I realise this question has been asked a million times on SO, but I’ve 1) checked that the method has been defined, and 2) that it has been called correctly (or at least to the best of my knowledge). The way I’ve done the above is the way I’ve done the rest of the API calls, and they work well, so I can’t see what the problem is. Very frustrating, I’ve spent hours on this last line! So please don’t think I’ve come hear after a few minutes of not knowing what to do.

The error message

The Method

This is located in the Kumulos.m file.

-(KSAPIOperation*) createNewTimePointWithJourneyIDFK:(NSInteger)journeyIDFK
     andTime:(NSDate*)time andLat:(float)lat andLon:(float)lon{

 NSMutableDictionary* theParams = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc]init];
        [theParams setValue:[NSNumber numberWithInt:journeyIDFK] forKey:@"journeyIDFK"];
                [theParams setValue:time forKey:@"time"];
                [theParams setValue:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:lat] forKey:@"lat"];
                [theParams setValue:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:lon] forKey:@"lon"];

KSAPIOperation* newOp = [[KSAPIOperation alloc]initWithAPIKey:theAPIKey
     andSecretKey:theSecretKey andMethodName:@"createNewTimePoint"
     andParams:theParams];
[newOp setDelegate:self];
[newOp setUseSSL:useSSL];

//we pass the method signature for the kumulosProxy callback on this thread

[newOp setCallbackSelector:@selector( kumulosAPI: apiOperation: createNewTimePointDidCompleteWithResult:)];
[newOp setSuccessCallbackMethodSignature:[self methodSignatureForSelector:@selector(apiOperation: didCompleteWithResult:)]];
[newOp setErrorCallbackMethodSignature:[self methodSignatureForSelector:@selector(apiOperation: didFailWithError:)]];
[opQueue addOperation:newOp];

return newOp;
}

The only thing I can think of is that something got stale in your project. Have you tried cleaning (via Product → Clean) and rebuilding?
