On button click "unrecognized selector sent to instance"

Cocoa/Objective-C newbie here.

I have a MainMenu.xib file which has a NSView. This is what awakeFromNib in AppDelegate.h looks like :

- (void)awakeFromNib {
NSViewController *x = [[Login alloc] initWithNibName:@"Login" bundle:nil];
NSView *v = [x view];
[_theView addSubview:v];

}

The new view has a button but when I click on it, I get the message "unrecognized selector sent to instance".

I'm completely lost. Please help me with this. Thanks!

It also throws as "Thread 1: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code = 1, address = ...) at the line (in main.m):

return NSApplicationMain(argc, argv);

The error is :

Oh, I see....

Try saving NSViewController *x as a strong property of the object that creates it instead of having it as a local variable. The way it's currently created, the Login object will not survive past the end of the awakeFromNib method.
