prepare for segue is not letting me set NSString of next viewController

I want to set an NSString from viewController A to viewController B. I tried using the code below but it's not working.

- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
    if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:@"segueSubCat"])
    {
        NSIndexPath *indexPath = [tableViewCat indexPathForSelectedRow];

        ViewControllerSubCat *subCatVC = [segue destinationViewController];
        subCatVC.cellNameCat = [categories objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
        subCatVC.navigationItem.title = subCatVC.cellNameCat;
    }
}

I tried that, and the app crashed every time I went to the second view. So I replaced it with the following code:

wat = @"wat";
[[segue destinationViewController] setContentsName:wat];

And it did the same thing. i.e. it crashed. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Note: When I take away the code inside prepareForSegue, then it works.

As the other posters have said, the destination view controller is not your custom class. It sounds like you've got that sorted out.

Another problem you're likely to face:

At the time prepareForSegue is called, the destination VC's view hierarchy hasn't been loaded yet.

This line:

subCatVC.navigationItem.title = subCatVC.cellNameCat;

probably won't work, because I doubt if your new VCs navigationItem has been loaded yet.

Disclaimer: I've actually never tried to manipulate a destination view controller's navigationItem in a prepareForSegue method, so I don't know for sure if it will be defined, but I strongly suspect not. To test this, log the value of subCatVC.navigationIte in prepareForSegue (once you sort out getting a pointer to the correct VC)

First check whether you assigned the UIViewController class as ViewControllerSubCat in storyboard.

EDIT:

From your crash log it's clear that you are getting a UINavigationController as the result of [segue destinationViewController];. So change the code like:

- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
    if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:@"segueSubCat"])
    {
        NSIndexPath *indexPath = [tableViewCat indexPathForSelectedRow];
        UINavigationController *navController = [segue destinationViewController];
        ViewControllerSubCat *subCatVC = (ViewControllerSubCat *)navController.topViewController;
        subCatVC.cellNameCat = [categories objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
        subCatVC.navigationItem.title = subCatVC.cellNameCat;
    }
}
