Well assuming this so-called "UIButton" is a view class of your own creation, why are you using NSArchiver but then NSKeyedUnarchiver (keyed is recommended for all modern apps). The more common Cocoa approach is not to "copy" the view, but instead have it in its own dedicated nib where you can load a new copy as you need it.

Sorry, I should've elaborated by "breaks." The application just stops. If I put a break point at that spot, and try stepping over, nothing happens. I
can press it over and over again, nothing.

If it were an NSView, archiving works for copying views, but maybe
UIButtons aren't archivable? (Guessing, obviously).

When you say it "breaks" what do you mean if you get no error message?

I'm trying to add a copy of a view as a subview to the parent view. This
is
what I tried:

UIButton* firstButton = [[UIButton alloc]
initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,360,
360)];

NSData *btnData = [NSArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:firstButton]; //
Breaks Here

[parentView addSubview:firstButton];

UIButton *twin = [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData:btnData];

[parentView addSubview:twin];

It breaks when I try to archive the object, and I don't get any error message in the console. Maybe there's another error console (I'm new to
Cocoa) that shows what's wrong.

Is there any way to copy or mirror a view?

Thanks,

Phil
