Swift error Thread (Some number): signal SIGABRT

Question

Sometimes my application terminates itself with this exception when the user presses the button but the error code is not always same. Sometime it is Thread 11: signal SIGABRT sometime it is Thread 13: signal SIGABRT

What is the main problem for this error?

    @IBAction func emailchk(_ sender: Any) {
    if email.text == ""  {
        let messagebox = UIAlertController(title: "PSM Passport | Reset Password",message: "กรุณากรอก อีเมลที่คุณใช้เปิดบัญชี เพื่อทำการเปลี่ยนรหัสผ่าน",preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.alert)
        messagebox.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default ))
        present(messagebox, animated: true, completion: nil)


    } else {

        let logginbox = UIAlertController(title: "PSM Passport | Checking", message:
            "กำลังตรวจสอบบัญชีที่คุณระบุมาอยู่ กรุณารอซักครู่", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.alert)


        self.present(logginbox, animated: true, completion: nil)


        let request = NSMutableURLRequest(url: NSURL(string: "some url that linked to the php file in my server")! as URL)
        request.httpMethod = "POST"

        var postString = "username=\(email.text!)"
        request.httpBody = postString.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8)
        let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request as URLRequest) {
            data, response, error in

            if error != nil {

                    alertController.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: UIAlertActionStyle.default,handler: nil))

                    self.present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)

            let responseString = NSString(data: data!, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8.rawValue)
            var a = responseString as! String

            if a == "notfround\n" {

                        "ระบบไม่พบบัญชี PSM Passport นี้ในระบบ กรุณาตรวจสอบข้อมูลให้ถูกต้องเเล้วลองใหม่อีกครั้ง", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.alert)
                    errormsg.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: UIAlertActionStyle.default,handler: nil))

                    self.present(errormsg, animated: true, completion: nil)
                }




            } else {
                var usre = self.email.text
                UserDefaults.standard.set(usre,forKey: "usernametoreset")
                UserDefaults.standard.set(a, forKey: "UIDtoreset")

                logginbox.dismiss(animated: true) {
                    let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
                    let otpreset = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "otpreset") as! UIViewController



                    self.navigationController?.pushViewController(otpreset, animated: true)


                }

                //print("\(responseString)")

            }
        }

Looks like running UI operation not on main thread... try to execute dismiss blocks in DispatchQueue.main.async { } — Tomasz Czyżak, Jan 27 '18 at 12:10

Mainthread issues interaction between dismiss and present? Also completion block on URLSession ;)

DispatchQueue.main.async {
    logginbox.dismiss(animated: true) {
        let alertController = UIAlertController(...)
        alertController.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: UIAlertActionStyle.default,handler: nil))

         DispatchQueue.main.async {
            self.present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
         }
    }
}

Please handle weakself by your self ;)

Try a DispatchQueue.main.async at all view operations like present or navigationController.pushViewController

For example

DispatchQueue.main.async {
  self.present(messagebox, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

Run the debug mode and have a look at which line the code is throwing the exception (and post it).
