- [NSTextField dataUsingEncoding:allowLossyConversion:] unrecognised selector sent to instance

In my application I initiate object with initWithNibName:bundle: file. I found that the object is corrupt. When I put the breakpoint in -awakeFromNib or even in init method and call in console to display self (po self) I get following message:

- [NSTextField dataUsingEncoding:allowLossyConversion:] unrecognised selector sent to instance

Interesting is that exception breakpoint is not getting called. As it is method of NSString it should get called. I also don't call the method dataUsingEncoding:allowLossyConversion: manually anywhere. All the NSTextField objects in nib file are connected to files owner properties.

Any hints on fixing this problem?

After some time, finally, I've figured out the issue. My answer can be a hint to anyone who is facing the same problem.

NSTextField in header files was declared as follows:

@property (nonatomic, weak) IBOutlet NSTextField *description;

Word "description" is reserved word by NSObject, thus it should be avoided as property in general.

This solved my problem:

@property (nonatomic, weak) IBOutlet NSTextField *desc;
