No known instance method for selector 'respondsToSelector:'

声明的协议protocol没有从NSObject继承

如：

//MyClass.h:

@class MyClass;

@Protocol MyClassDelegate
- (void)myClass:(MyClass *)sender willDoSomething:(BOOL)animated;
@end

@interface MyClass : UIViewController

@property (nonatomic, weak) id<MyClassDelegate> delegate;

@end

and

//MyClass.m:

...
@synthesize delegate = _delegate;
...

id sanitizedDelegate = self.delegate; //Hmmmm... why does this work?

if ([sanitizedDelegate respondsToSelector:@selector(myClass:willDoSomething:)]) {
    [self.delegate myClass:self willDoSomething:animated];
}

这样会报错   the compilation fail

解决办法

-respondsToSelector: is a method on NSObject. Either assume that your id delegate is in fact an NSObject, and cast it:

[(NSObject*)self.delegate respondsToSelector:@selector(myClass:willDoSomething:)]

Or, better, make your delegate explicitly an NSObject:

@property (nonatomic, weak) NSObject<MyClassDelegate>* delegate;

Or make the protocol be a sub-protocol of NSObject:

@protocol MyClassDelegate <NSObject>
