#46: Unexpectedly Found nil While Unwrapping an Optional
That error appears when code force-unwraps an optional with !, but the value is actually nil at runtime.
let text: String? = nil
print(text!) // crash
The fix is usually to unwrap safely:
if let text {
print(text)
} else {
print("Missing value")
}
You can also use guard let, optional chaining, or the nil-coalescing operator:
let name = text ?? "Anonymous"
Force unwrapping is only appropriate when nil is truly impossible and you are willing to treat violations as programmer errors.
