ios prepare for segue causing crash

I'm brand new to ios development and have hit a brick wall with what I am trying to do.

I have this code in my method that is meant to pass on a specific NSObject from this view to the next view, however it keeps crashing my app.

-(void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender{
if([segue.identifier isEqualToString:@"showPDF"]){
    UINavigationController *navController = (UINavigationController *)segue.destinationViewController;
    PDFViewController *controller = (PDFViewController *)navController.topViewController;
    controller.yourName = self.yourName;
}

I have debugged through and have identified that it is the fourth line causing it to crash.

Output:

Does any one have any ideas why this could be?

Many Thanks!

segues destination view controller is not navigation controller but its PDFViewController and you are explicitly typecasting it to UINavigation Controller

From your error log and code I think that you don't have navigation controller at the top. Try following:

-(void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender{
    if([segue.identifier isEqualToString:@"showPDF"]){
        PDFViewController *controller = (PDFViewController *))segue.destinationViewController;
        controller.yourName = self.yourName;
    }
}

Your segue is connected directly to a PDFViewController, not a UINavigationController. If that is really what you want, replace

UINavigationController *navController = (UINavigationController *)segue.destinationViewController;
PDFViewController *controller = (PDFViewController *)navController.topViewController;

with

PDFViewController *controller = (PDFViewController *)segue.destinationViewController;

If you want the PDF view controller in a popup, insert a UINavigationController in the storyboard, make the PDF view controller its root view controller and change the segue type to modal. Your code should work correctly in this case.
