An -observeValueForKeyPath:ofObject:change:context: message was received but not handled

You have an object that got dealloc'ed and did not stop observing another object. Walk through all of your -addObserver... calls and make sure they are matched with -removeObserver... calls at least in the -dealloc and possibly in the -viewDidUnload depending on your application structure.

I saw this error when I sent the observeValueForKeyPath method to super, which I had not registered as an observer for the change. Apple docs say "Be sure to call the superclass's implementation [of observeValueForKeyPath] if it implements it."

My fix was to change:

- (void)observeValueForKeyPath:(NSString *)keyPath
                      ofObject:(id)object
                        change:(NSDictionary *)change
                       context:(void *)context {
  if ([keyPath isEqualToString:kPropertyThatChanges]) {
    ...
  }
  [super observeValueForKeyPath:keyPath ofObject:object change:change context:context];
}

to:

- (void)observeValueForKeyPath:(NSString *)keyPath
                      ofObject:(id)object
                        change:(NSDictionary *)change
                       context:(void *)context {
  if ([keyPath isEqualToString:kPropertyThatChanges]) {
    ...
  }
}

In swift:

func observeValue(forKeyPath keyPath: String?, of object: Any?, change: [NSKeyValueChangeKey : Any]?, context: UnsafeMutableRawPointer?) {
    if (keyPath == kPropertyThatChanges) {
    }
    super.observeValue(forKeyPath: keyPath, of: object, change: change, context: context)
}
To:
func observeValue(forKeyPath keyPath: String?, of object: Any?, change: [NSKeyValueChangeKey : Any]?, context: UnsafeMutableRawPointer?) {
    if (keyPath == kPropertyThatChanges) {
    }
}

I ran into this problem by accidentally passing the target in as the observer (instead of self) like so:

[self.someView addObserver:self.someView forKeyPath:@"key" options:0 context:nil];

The error message was not at all helpful in identifying this so just thought I'd post in case anyone else does the same thing.
