UIPageViewController NSInternalInconsistencyException

exception, ios, objective-c, uipageviewcontroller

Solution

I happened to stumble upon the same error when using the following argument passed on launch:

-UIViewShowAlignmentRects YES

After wasting 2 days trying to find error within my UIPageViewController, it turned out that after disabling XCode generated yellow rectangle wrappers, the NSInternalConsistencyException evaporated.

Problem

I'm developing a simple `UIPageViewController` that has two pages. Each page is loaded from a different `ViewController` with their specific `xib` files, named `PViewController` and `TViewController`. For `PViewController`, there are three different views, let's call them A, B, and C. When the application launches, `PViewController` appears successfully and I can swipe left to see the `TViewController`, also with no problems. However, when I'm in `PViewController` and as a response to an event I change the current view A to another view B, then swipe left to go to `TViewController`, I receive the following exception and the application terminates: ``` *** Assertion failure in -[_UIQueuingScrollView _setWrappedViewAtIndex:withView:], /SourceCache/UIKit_Sim/UIKit-2935.137/_UIQueuingScrollView.m:338 2014-07-10 13:57:23.389 ***** [2012:60b] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Unexpected subviews' *** First throw call stack: ( 0 CoreFoundation 0x01fde1e4 __exceptionPreprocess + 180 1 libobjc.A.dylib 0x01c418e5 objc_exception_throw + 44 2 CoreFoundation 0x01fde048 +[NSException raise:format:arguments:] + 136 3 Foundation 0x018214de -[NSAssertionHandler handleFailureInMethod:object:file:lineNumber:description:] + 116 4 UIKit 0x00f3cc14 -[_UIQueuingScrollView _setWrappedViewAtIndex:withView:] + 261 5 UIKit 0x00f3d248 -[_UIQueuingScrollView _replaceViews:updatingContents:adjustContentInsets:animated:] + 812 6 UIKit 0x00f3d690 -[_UIQueuingScrollView _viewAtIndex:loadingIfNecessary:updatingContents:animated:] + 421 7 UIKit 0x00f40c65 __54-[_UIQueuingScrollView _didScrollWithAnimation:force:]_block_invoke + 110 8 UIKit 0x00f408de -[_UIQueuingScrollView _didScrollWithAnimation:force:] + 579 9 UIKit 0x00f3c452 -[_UIQueuingScrollView layoutSubviews] + 186 10 UIKit 0x00970964 -[UIView(CALayerDelegate) layoutSublayersOfLayer:] + 355 11 libobjc.A.dylib 0x01c5382b -[NSObject performSelector:withObject:] + 70 12 QuartzCore 0x04be445a -[CALayer layoutSublayers] + 148 13 QuartzCore 0x04bd8244 _ZN2CA5Layer16layout_if_neededEPNS_11TransactionE + 380 14 QuartzCore 0x04bd80b0 _ZN2CA5Layer28layout_and_display_if_neededEPNS_11TransactionE + 26 15 QuartzCore 0x04b3e7fa _ZN2CA7Context18commit_transactionEPNS_11TransactionE + 294 16 QuartzCore 0x04b3fb85 _ZN2CA11Transaction6commitEv + 393 17 QuartzCore 0x04b40258 _ZN2CA11Transaction17observer_callbackEP19__CFRunLoopObservermPv + 92 18 CoreFoundation 0x01fa636e __CFRUNLOOP_IS_CALLING_OUT_TO_AN_OBSERVER_CALLBACK_FUNCTION__ + 30 19 CoreFoundation 0x01fa62bf __CFRunLoopDoObservers + 399 20 CoreFoundation 0x01f839eb CFRunLoopRunSpecific + 491 21 CoreFoundation 0x01f837eb CFRunLoopRunInMode + 123 22 GraphicsServices 0x030285ee GSEventRunModal + 192 23 GraphicsServices 0x0302842b GSEventRun + 104 24 UIKit 0x00901f9b UIApplicationMain + 1225 25 ******* 0x000239fd main + 141 26 libdyld.dylib 0x02cc1701 start + 1 27 ??? 0x00000001 0x0 + 1 ) libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException ``` Here is the protocol methods I implemented for the UIPageViewController: ``` - (UIViewController *)pageViewController:(UIPageViewController *)pageViewController viewControllerBeforeViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController { UIViewController *vc; if(self.index==1) { vc = (PViewController *)[[PViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"PViewController" bundle:nil]; } self.index--; return vc; } - (UIViewController *)pageViewController:(UIPageViewController *)pageViewController viewControllerAfterViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController { UIViewController *vc; if(self.index==0) vc = (TViewController *)[[TViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"TViewController" bundle:nil]; self.index++; return vc; } //The exception occurs exactly when the app reaches this point. ``` And this is how I switch views within a view controller, simply: ``` self.view = self.B; ``` Problem: I'm not able to track down the problem. I don't know where to catch this exception or what is causing it?
