signal SIGABRT on instantiateViewController

Question

I have create a second view controller with a storyboard. I have specified a StoryBoard ID. I have created a class for this controller and specified this class in the story board as well:

import UIKit
import Foundation

class SecondViewController: UIViewController {
    // It is really empty
}

Then I am trying to activate this controller doing quite a standard operation:

let storyBoard : UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle:nil)

let secondViewController = storyBoard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "SecondViewController") as! SecondViewController

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

However, when execution reaches and invokes storyBoard.instantiateViewController - I get Thread 1: signal SIGABRT without any description (clicking on it gives nothing):

I have already looked at this QA: Swift error : signal SIGABRT how to solve it - clean & build doesn't solve the problem.

I guess I am missing something in the configuration of my second view controller. But I can not find what exactly. Any advices?

Keep clicking the "play" button in the debugger until you get a full error and stack trace in the debugger console (maybe 3 or 4 clicks should do it). — rmaddy, Jun 05 '18 at 06:42
And clicking "Continue" in debugger gives me `EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION (code=EXC_I386_INVOP, subcode=0x0)` without a stacktrace — Andremoniy, Jun 05 '18 at 06:44
Most likely your forced-cast is failing. Check the class in the storyboard. — rmaddy, Jun 05 '18 at 06:49
when you give storyboardID to a viewController through storyboard there is a small checkBox behind that — sanjaykmwt, Jun 05 '18 at 08:18
@sanjaykmwt I am not sure which checkbox you are actually talking about. There is a checkbox "Use Storyboard ID" related to the "Restoration ID" property. So this is unrelated to the problem. However I have tried to check it as well, but it doesn't solve the issue. — Andremoniy, Jun 05 '18 at 16:55

Verify your storyboard filename and use it in the line:

let storyBoard : UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle:nil)

Thanks bro! You've saved my day. That was an issue. I used improper name of the StoryBoard. It should be the same as a name of my storyboard file to which I am going to switch – Andremoniy Jun 05 '18 at 18:55
