UIImage imageNamed returns nil except for the first image

Question

I'm loading images from my app's image.xcassets using [UIImage imageNamed:@"filename"] method and only the first image is loading correctly but then the rest of the images returns nil and crashes the app. Below is my code:

[self.imagePicker addImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"image0-150x277"]];
[self.imagePicker addImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"image1-150x277"]];
[self.imagePicker addImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"image2-150x277"]];
[self.imagePicker addImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"image3-150x277"]];
[self.imagePicker addImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"image4-150x277"]];
[self.imagePicker addImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"image5-150x277"]];
[self.imagePicker addImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"image6-150x277"]];
[self.imagePicker addImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"image7-150x277"]];
[self.imagePicker addImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"image8-150x277"]];

And here is my addImage method:

- (void)addImage:(UIImage *)image 
{
    [_images addObject:image];
    [_thumbs addObject:image];
}

I have checked this question and tried everything in it including file names check and making sure the images are Retina 2x but nothing worked. Any ideas on what might be wrong?

And here is the crash log:

And a screen shot for the target membership:

Try storing images a temporary UIImage object and while debugging check if the object contains the image. (The eye icon shows you the preview of the image) — Rikh, Oct 14 '16 at 12:29
@Rikh What do you mean by storing images a temporary UIImage object? — Ali, Oct 14 '16 at 12:32
@Ali Please check if you have initialized your array in which you are saving the images. — Deepak Sharma, Oct 14 '16 at 12:34
@DeepakSharma The array is initialized via `// Create and Initialize image picker self.imagePicker = [[CustomImagePicker alloc] init];` which is just before the image load in in the question. and I have the following in the `CustomIMagePicker` Code: `- (id) init { if ((self = [super init])) { _images = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; _thumbs = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; } return self; }` — Ali, Oct 14 '16 at 12:37
Try UIImage *tempImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@""]; And when debugging, check if you can preview the image when you hover your mouse over the tempImage object. Or check if "tempImage" object is nil or not. Also make sure _images and _thumbs have both been initalized — Rikh, Oct 14 '16 at 12:38
@Rikh I tried `UIImage *tempimage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"image1-150x277"];` and tempimage returns nil — Ali, Oct 14 '16 at 12:43

The image names in the screenshot appear to be different than the ones you are using in the code! In the code it has a "277" in the end where as in the image name it is a "227"
