signal SIGABRT, when trying to get distance to annotations

Question

I'm trying to calulate the distance between the userLocation and my annotations (from plist), But every time im run the mapView im getting signal SIGABRT error.

I'm doing the calculate in my mapViewController.m and want to show the calculated values in my tableViewController.

In my Annotations.h

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <MapKit/MKAnnotation.h>

@interface Annotation : NSObject <MKAnnotation>

@property (nonatomic, assign) CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate;
@property (nonatomic, assign) CLLocationDistance distance;
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString * title;
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString * subtitle;
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString * sculptureIdKey;

@end

I'm synthesize distance = _distance; in my Annotations.m file.

In my mapViewController.m im doing the calculations

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager
    didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation
           fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation
{
    for (Annotation *annotation in self.mapView.annotations)
    {
        CLLocationCoordinate2D coord = [annotation coordinate];
        CLLocation *annLocation = [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:coord.latitude longitude:coord.longitude];
        annotation.distance = [annLocation distanceFromLocation:newLocation];
        CLLocationDistance calculatedDistance = [annLocation distanceFromLocation:newLocation];
        annotation.distance = calculatedDistance;

        NSLog(@"Calculated Distance:%.2f m\n", calculatedDistance);
    }
}

And in my tableViewController.h

#import "mainViewController.h"
#import "mapViewController.h"
#import "Annotation.h"

@interface ListViewController : UITableViewController <UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate, CLLocationManagerDelegate>

@property (readonly) CLLocationCoordinate2D selectedCoordinate;
@property (nonatomic, assign) CLLocationDistance distance;
@property (nonatomic, strong) CLLocationManager *locationManager;
@property (nonatomic, strong) CLLocation *userLocation;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSArray *locationsArray;


@end

And tableViewController.m

#import "ListViewController.h"
#import "customCell.h"

@interface ListViewController ()

@end

@implementation ListViewController
@synthesize locationsArray = _locationsArray;
@synthesize locationManager = _locationManager;
@synthesize selectedCoordinate = _selectedCoordinate;
@synthesize distance = _distance;

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
}

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

#pragma mark - Table view data source

-(NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
    return 1;
}

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
    return [self.locationsArray count];
}

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{    
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
    customCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
    if (!cell)
    {
        cell = [[customCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    }
    cell.customTitle.text = [[self.locationsArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] valueForKey:@"sculptureNameKey"];
    cell.customSubTitle.text = [[self.locationsArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] valueForKey:@"sculptureAddressKey"];
    cell.distanceLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Nice distance:%f m\n", _distance];

    return cell;
}

My output in log is as follow

It says the there's no method named `setDistance ` defined inside `MKUserLocation ` classm — rptwsthi, Feb 15 '13 at 12:24
@rptwsthi so how do i set "setDistance" inside MKUserLocation? — hpetersen, Feb 15 '13 at 13:13
You can't. An MKUserLocation doesn't have a `distance` property. It's a location (and info about how accurate that location is), not a line. http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/MapKit/Reference/MKUserLocation_Class/Reference/Reference.html — Craig, Feb 16 '13 at 05:55
@Craig Okay, thank you.. But what i'm doing wrong to get the calculatedDistance in my tableView? Can you see what I need to do? — hpetersen, Feb 16 '13 at 10:55
Your ListViewController has single distance property. And as far as I can see you never actually set it. — Craig, Feb 16 '13 at 19:17
By the way, is this for a course somewhere? I ask because someone else who was quite new to all this was on here very recently trying to achieve the same thing. — Craig, Feb 16 '13 at 19:19

In your for-loop where you set the annotation distance, you need to check that the annotation is not MKUserLocation since it is one of self.mapView.annotations. Otherwise, "annotation.distance" will apply to MKUserLocation, which doesn't have a distance property. Here's the update to your code:

for (Annotation *annotation in self.mapView.annotations)
{
    if (![annotation isKindOfClass:[MKUserLocation class]]) //<-- Need this check
    {
        CLLocationCoordinate2D coord = [annotation coordinate];
        CLLocation *annLocation = [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:coord.latitude longitude:coord.longitude];
        annotation.distance = [annLocation distanceFromLocation:newLocation];
        CLLocationDistance calculatedDistance = [annLocation distanceFromLocation:newLocation];
        annotation.distance = calculatedDistance;

        NSLog(@"Calculated Distance:%.2f m\n", calculatedDistance);
    }
}
