Hiya! Welcome to Buzztouch! That's a bit odd, that error… It usually means something went wrong, but we don't know what just yet. What I would suggest is to take a read of a couple of documents by GoNorthWest and Chris1. These documents focus on 'troubleshooting' the Android and iOS environments… https://www.buzztouch.com/files/howtos/Problem_Reporting_and_Basic_Debug_v1.0.pdf https://www.buzztouch.com/files/howtos/Common_Apple_Errors_and_Solutions_v1.0.pdf https://www.buzztouch.com/files/howtos/exception%20debugging%20how-to.pdf Hopefully one of these will shed some light on the issue. otherwise, I'd say remove the plugins and add them one at a time to see if one of them is the culprit; it may be that something isn't quite ready yet. You might also take a 'fresh' copy of your config file (in your BT control panel under 'configuration data') and replace your project's 'BT_config.txt' file (located under the 'BT_Config' directory). Hope this helps, but if not, stop by and let us know where you're at… we'll help figure it out. Cheers! -- Smug

You downloaded the project within the past few days? You dragged the Plugins folder and the Images folder into Xcode? And you clicked the checkbox when it asks you the question of "copy the files"? Have you thrown away that one and downloaded a fresh project? As Smug said, "rather strange ..."

Welcome to Buzztouch, @Specs41! That is indeed a strange error. One thing you can try, after you've verified that ALL the folders in your BT project have been dragged over to Xcode (BT_Plugins, BT_Images, BT_Docs, BT_Art, etc), is to try an Project > Clean. This will clean out any issues that might exist from a previously failed build. Then try to run it again and let us know what happens. You've got tons of friends here already just by being a part of this community! Give a shout when you need some help! Mark

Are you still getting that error? If so, make sure that all the screens you have selected in your control panel are iOS plugins, and not just Android plugins. That would explain the missing view controller. Mark

So… Which plugin is missing? If this is on startup, then the menu must be missing. Which kind is it? Take a peek inside your plugins directory and make sure it's there. Although 'some' things have changed, 'most' things have not. There used to be instructions provided with the download package… Here is an old version. The appearance might be a little different, but all the steps are basically the same. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/115208762/instructionsiOS.pdf Hope this helps! Cheers! -- Smug

Go to Layout in your Control Panel. What is the opening screen? What type of screen is the opening screen, which plugin is being used?
