numberOfRowsInSection being sent to UIProxyObject when reloading tableView

Question

I have a UITableViewController subclass that calls [self.tableView reloadData] from the main queue whenever it needs to clear accessory views from all of its cells. The problem is, I get this crash log indicating that numberOfRowsInSection: was sent to the wrong object when I reload the tableView. The message I get is: -[UIProxyObject tableView:numberOfRowsInSection:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance

and here is the crash log:

This is the code I run in my table view controller:

- (void) clearLoadingCells {
    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
        [[LBAppDelegate tabBarController] clearLoading];
        [self.tableView reloadData];
    });
}

and in my delegate, I maintain a list of URLs that are loading (just strings and a boolean):

- (void) clearLoading {
    [busyList removeAllObjects];
}

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this crash for myself, I am only seeing the logs in my Firebase console for Crashlytics.

Answer 1

instead of using [self.tableView reloadData] why dont you use [self reloadData()]; as your class is UITableViewController subclass.
