I'm running into a binding issue is my main application so I wrote a small

{
   modelObject = [[ModelObject alloc] init];

In my xib I I have an object that represents my AppDelegate. I bind the
value of an NSLabel to the AppDelegate's modelObject.someProperty keypatch.


But no matter what I do the value is never updated in the UI. Do you see
something obvious that I am missing?

By binding to modelObject.someProperty, you're asserting that "modelObject" is a property of your app delegate, but you haven't implemented it as such.


Because (presumably) you've left +[AppDelegate accessInstanceVariablesDirectly] at its default of YES, your instance variable 'modelObject' *behaves like* a property, but things break down in awakeFromNib because modelObject isn't being updated KVO- compliantly there.

Try writing @property/@synthesize for your modelObject, then initialize it with:

	self.modelObject = [[ModelObject alloc] init];

in awakeFromNib.
