I am currently building an application's UI without using IB or storyboard. I have the following hierarchy: 1. ViewController: which is the main view controller. 2. DrawerViewController: which is the view controller for the lower drawer menu. The main view controller adds as a subview the drawerViewController's view. 3. Add Button: this is a UIButton created and added programatically to the drawerViewController's view.
The problem is if I clicked on the add button, the application crashes, giving absolutely no error messages in the output, except (lldb).
I have tried the following:
- Change the selector name and the method name.
- Checked the name of the selector method.
- Added and removed the parameter of the selector method.
- Changed the name of the button.
- Added the button inside another view.
There's no way to trace the bug using breakpoints, because the application is compiling just fine, and the app crashes only if you click on the button.
Here's a link to a testing project I created to show the problem:

//Lower Drawer.

var drawerViewHidden: Bool = false
var addButton: UIButton!

var hiddenDrawerViewY: CGFloat!
