Please provide a sample app. I can't debug this with this information only.

[terrybu]

Sample app is a private repo, is that okay?
https://github.com/payfone/authwifi-sample/tree/master/client-ios

[dnkoutso]

@terrybu unfortunately not i cannot clone this.

[terrybu]

@dnkoutso is it possible for me to zip it and send it to you? or should I attach it here

[dnkoutso]

Attach it here, you can also send it to me if you'd like not to attach it here for everyone to be able to download it, whatever works for you.

[terrybu]

@dnkoutso would rather email it to you, thanks so much. Your email?

[dnkoutso]

its in my profile

[dnkoutso]

You somehow added another 'Pods' reference to your project as a resource causing the crash. Remove it and it fixes the problem.

[terrybu]

Thanks so much, that looks like that solved it

[elizabethsiegle]

thanks @dnkoutso, that helped me too!
