UIWebView throwing NSUnknownKeyException iPad

0

I have a tab bar application. Everything works normally, and I can switch between tabs fine and everything, except when I switch to my second tab ProductViewClass the view doesn't update and it spits out the console output below. I have nothing in this view except for a UIWebView and a UILabel. When I delete the UIWebView it runs successfully, and when I add another it still works. It only stops working when I connect the IBOutlet from my File's Owner to the UIWebView. Besides synthesizing and releasing productWebView the only non-template code in ProductWebView.m is this:

    NSString *urlString = @"http://www.google.com/";
    NSURL *theURL = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];
    NSURLRequest *urlRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:theURL];
    [productWebView loadRequest:urlRequest];
    NSLog(@"Google loaded");

The entirety of ProductWebView.h is as follows:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@interface ProductViewClass : UIViewController {

    IBOutlet UIWebView *productWebView;
}

@property(nonatomic, retain) UIWebView *productWebView;
@end

Here's the console output:

You're loading a nib. In that nib, you have an outlet named productWebView that's hooked up, presumably to a web view. The exception you're seeing is telling you that the outlet productWebView doesn't actually exist. Here's where it gets weird. The error says the object <UIViewController 0x4d06eb0> is the one that has this missing outlet. The weird bit is where it says UIViewController instead of the name of an actual view controller subclass. It sounds like you have a nib where the File's Owner is set up as one of your view controller subclasses, but at runtime you're actually just using an instance of UIViewController directly. You should verify that all the view controllers representing tabs in your tab bar controller are actual correct subclasses of UIViewController instead of just an instance of UIViewController itself.
