iPhone: unrecognized selector error

Question

I'm threeaing some tasks like this :

RootViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
[NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:@selector(findSomething) toTarget:self withObject:nil];
}

- (void) findSomething {
    NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init]; 
doMoreThings
[pool release];
}

- (void) doMoreThings {
  doMoreMoreMoreThings on different objects
}

- (void) foundSomething:(NSFoundThing*)foundObj {
    do your stuff
}

oneObject

- (void) doMoreMoreMoreThings {
   do things
[self performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(foundSomething:) withObject:thingFound waitUntilDone:NO];
}

gives

-[KMLParser foundSomething:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x5888080

What is the problem ?

Answer 1

The threading is irrelevant. Some of the code you're not showing us is making it so you are sending the foundSomething: selector to an object that doesn't handle that message. Route the message to an object that does handle it, and your problem will go away.
