@Isacc Lim what is the error ? question is still same.Update your code with what error log says,that will help understand things better. — Tushar Sharma, Aug 27 '17 at 16:08
capture from console --> libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException — Isaac Lim, Aug 27 '17 at 16:10
@lsacc Lim can you show more code ? Are you sure you have all outlets correctly, and have given correct class to controller. — Tushar Sharma, Aug 27 '17 at 16:12

@IsaacLim Unless you can update your question with the complete error, no one can help you properly. The message you posted in an earlier comment is not sufficient. — rmaddy, Aug 27 '17 at 16:41
"libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException –" That's missing half of the whole error message. If you don't give us the complete error message, every asnwers here will be pure guess. Maybe it will point out your real error, but you're clearly calling for luck. Because there is nothing wrong with your current code. — Larme, Aug 27 '17 at 19:45

Go to your code and delete the @IBOutlet line of code that you created
Delete this in Storyboard: I think you have few referencing outlets there for 1 object. You need to have only 1. So better to remove all of them.
Add new outlet again.
It should work.

Providing more error details might help to solve your issue. But you can still solve it by checking few things-:

1) Check for UITextView outlet in storyboard-:

2) Check if you have given correct class to controller . In my case it's UnderlineViewController check for yours. Your controller should have same class.

2.a) Go to storyboard click on controller and select identity inspector.

2.b) check class name.

Now add text in controller class-:

import UIKit

class UnderlineViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var textViewData: UITextView!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        textViewData.text = "Tushar"
        }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }

}

OUTPUT-:

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE NO MORE THEN 1 OUTLET FOR ANY VIEW IN SIMILAR CONTROLLER.
