Swift: Crash when Printing

Question

let myPath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "Settings", ofType: ".png")

print(myPath!)

Why does it crash when I'm trying to print this?

Answer 1

The crash is the famous Unexpected found nil while unwrapping ... error. Don't use exclamation marks unless it's guaranteed that the value is not nil .

Either the file does not exist or (most likely) your type (extension) is png not .png

let myPath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "Settings", ofType: "png") 

However nowadays the URL related API is preferable

let myURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "Settings", withExtension: "png") 

Answer 2

My simple guess is that myPath is nil, so it crashes at the nil pointer exception. Remove the exclamation mark and use:

print(myPath)

If it prints nil, then you have your answer.
