[__NSDictionaryI setObject:forKey:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance

Question

I am trying to add "dateTime" to My dictionary as defined follows:

Symptom Ranking: {
    5111ef19253b4a9150000000 = 1;
    5111f029253b4add4e000000 = 1;
    5111f036253b4a123d000001 = 1;
    5111f045253b4a404f000000 = 1;
}

NSLog(@"date selected: %@", [[self.datePicker date] description])

[self.results setObject:[[self.datePicker date] description] forKey:@"dateTime"];

App crashes and I get this:

Symptom Tracker[43134:c07] -[__NSDictionaryI setObject:forKey:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7603990

Answer 1

Your dictionary is immutable - it's an NSDictionary and not an NSMutableDictionary. Fix that, and it'll work fine.
