ios - UIPageViewController setViewController causing app to crash

Question

I have a - (void)setViewControllers:(NSArray *)viewControllers direction:(UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirection)direction animated:(BOOL)animated completion:(void (^)(BOOL finished))completion set up in a method. Whenever the method is called it doesn't go to the next page. Instead, it goes to the UIPageViewController storyboard and then crashes. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I am using MSPageViewController for the pageviewcontroller, could that be it?

Heres my code:

UIViewController *viewcont = [[UIViewController alloc]init];

NSArray *viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObject:viewcont];

[self setViewControllers:viewControllers direction:UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirectionForward animated:YES completion:nil];

Thanks.

There are 3 storyboards all conforming to MSPageViewControllerChild with the pageIndex property synthesized. IntroPageViewController is the first storyboard (p1).

Looks like you're using MSPageViewController, with a controller that doesn't conform to MSPageViewControllerChild.

From the documentation:

Each of them [controllers] must be a class that conforms to MSPageViewControllerChild (if you don't need to add any extra functionality to it you can use MSPageViewControllerPage).
