Receiving EXC_BAD_ACCESS exception - ios

I am using a singleton class to select data from CoreData, and send it back to the calling ViewController. My issue is that when getting one of the ManagedObject's properties, the app crashes with an EXC_BAD_ACCESS exception.
This only seems to happen on iOS 9.x or on the simulator, but is pretty consistent on those. It hasn't happened on a device running 10.x. I set the scheme diagnostics to show zombie objects, and am now presented with the following error:
-[CFString copy]: message sent to deallocated instance 0x15b92990
The issue is that the string being referenced is on an object retrieved directly before I get this error, and I am using Swift (So not manually deallocating anything), so I don't understand why it is deallocated.
The code that selects the object looks like this:
func getModelTypePrice(mmCode: String, year: Int) -> ModelTypePrice? {
let request = NSFetchRequest<ModelTypePrice>(entityName: "ModelTypePrice")
request.predicate = NSCompoundPredicate(andPredicateWithSubpredicates: [NSPredicate(format: "mmcode = %#", mmCode),
NSPredicate(format: "reg_year = %d", year)])
do {
let prices = try managedContext.fetch(request)
if prices.count == 1 {
return prices[0]
}
} catch {
print("Error selecting object: \(error)")
}
return nil
}
That is called from the ViewController, and used as follows:
if let price = LibraryAPI.sharedInstance.getModelTypePrice(mmCode: "123", year: 2017) {
self.newPrice = price.new_price // Error happens here.
}
The ViewController does have an optional String property called newPrice. The new_price property on a ModelTypePrice is also an optional String.
I am at a bit of a loss here, so any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

This fixed it: [CFNumber release]: message sent to deallocated instance
The problem was the name of the property of the managed object starting with new(it was new_price). Changing it to price_new fixed it. Apparently they changed how this is handled in iOS 10.x, as it was never a problem there.
Maybe this saves someone else some frustration.

Saving then accessing entity from managedObjectContext in CoreData occasionally crashes

I'm struggling to debug a hard-to-reproduce-locally crash in my app. The crash reports show the exception type is EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) with objc_msgSend at the top of the crashed thread, perhaps suggesting "The process may have attempted to message a deallocated object" (as per Apple's documents).
I have not been able to recreate the crash or find any zombies using the Zombies instrument, despite using an older device and the same simulated device causing the most crashes.
From the trace I'm pretty sure I've been able to work out where the crash is occurring, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
My app is basically a group database. The app takes a username and password, sending them to a server to check if the person can be logged in. If valid, the app downloads the data on all the people in the group, then finds the logged in person from the downloaded data based on their username.
Because of the way the server code is set up, the username must be present in the downloaded data (if it all downloads correctly), yet my code occasionally fails to find them, and (from the crash logs) also occasionally this attempted finding of the person causes a crash.
coreDataStack.storeContainer.performBackgroundTask() { context in
OverallNetworkCalls.deleteAllLoadPeople(moContext: context) { result in
self.coreDataStack.saveNewContext(context: context)
if result == .success {
let person = AdministrativeHelperFunctions.returnCurrentUserFromUserName(moContext: context)
if let person = person {
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self.activityIndicator.stopAnimating()
}
UserDefaults.standard.set(person.objectID.uriRepresentation(), forKey: udl.CurrentUserMOID.rawValue)
} else {
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self.activityIndicator.stopAnimating()
self.loadingLabel.text = "Data was downloaded but your username isn't there. Try deleting and reloading the app, or contact admin."
}
}
}
func saveNewContext(context: NSManagedObjectContext) {
context.perform {
guard context.hasChanges else { return }
do {
try context.save()
} catch {
//logs the issue locally
}
}
}
func returnCurrentUserFromUserName(moContext: NSManagedObjectContext) -> Person? {
let userName = UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: "username")
if let userName = userName {
//Create predicate, arrayForResults etc
do {
userNameMatchesArray = try moContext.fetch(fetchRequest)
} catch {
//logs the issue locally
}
if userNameMatchesArray.count == 1 {
return userNameMatchesArray[0]
} else {
return nil
}
} else {
return nil
}
}
My suspicion is that the returnCurrentUserFromUserName function is returning the user before the saveNewContext function has completed its task and that this is contributing to the issue, though given the same managedObjectContext is saving then retrieving the person I had originally assumed this wasn't a problem. I'm also not sure that using "context.perform" in the saveNewContext function is necessary/wise/useful; I'd value feedback on this too if anyone knows best practice inside a performBackgroundTask block.
A non-reproduceable bug is always the most frustrating to fix, and because of this anything I try to fix it won't be shown until I send it to my beta testers and get crashlogs back (or not!).
Thanks in advance for reviewing this problem.

CallKit error 7 when I perform a call for the first time

I've done a call kit + twilio IOS app. The problem is (as far as I can tell) with ios 12.
When I run the app on a device with IOS 11 the call start as normal. When I run the app on a device with IOS 12, when I try to make the first call I get this error :
StartCallAction transaction request failed: The operation couldn’t be
completed. (com.apple.CallKit.error.requesttransaction error 7.)
This error represent this: The requested transaction contains actions that, if performed, would exceed the maximum number of call groups for the provider. But i set the callGroupMax number to 1 ( I tried to set it 2,3 but still the same)
I found just one thread with this error on google but no solution was provided. Pleas give me a hint on what causes this error because I'm stuck on this.
This error appears only when the first call is made after a fresh install. Then I can make calls as it was intended.
This is the callkitManager class:
class CallKitManager: NSObject {
class var shared: CallKitManager {
struct Static {
static let instance: CallKitManager = CallKitManager()
}
return Static.instance
}
fileprivate let callKitProvider: CXProvider
override init() {
callKitProvider = CXProvider(configuration: type(of: self).providerConfiguration)
super.init()
callKitProvider.setDelegate(self, queue: nil)
}
static var providerConfiguration: CXProviderConfiguration {
let localizedName = NSLocalizedString("NAME", comment: "Name of application")
let configuration = CXProviderConfiguration(localizedName: localizedName)
configuration.supportsVideo = false
configuration.maximumCallsPerCallGroup = 1
configuration.ringtoneSound = "myringtone"
configuration.supportedHandleTypes = [.generic]
if let callKitIcon = UIImage(named: "callKitIcon") {
configuration.iconTemplateImageData = callKitIcon.pngData()
}
return configuration
}
I expect that the call to connect from the first time, but the result is that in the performStartCallAction() method I get the error from above.
So after 2 days I figure it out. The problem was that I use the callKit as a singleton which is wrong. You need "to mimic" a singleton using AppDelegate. See this tutorial https://www.raywenderlich.com/701-callkit-tutorial-for-ios and look in the AppDelegate and se how this was implemented.

Google Autocomplete function Crash after Call

I am using Google PlaceAutoComplete method to get suggestions of the Addess that is entered in textField.
func placeAutocomplete(text:String) {
let placesClient = GMSPlacesClient()
let filter = GMSAutocompleteFilter()
filter.type = .Address
placesClient.autocompleteQuery("New Delhi", bounds: nil, filter: nil) { (results, error) in
guard error == nil else {
print("Autocomplete error \(error)")
return
}
self.addressArray.removeAll()
for result in results! {
self.addressArray.append(result.attributedFullText.string)
print("Result \(result.attributedFullText.string) with placeID \(result.placeID)")
}
}
}
When i call this method. It crashes, say the Following error.
Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[__NSCFDictionary boolValue]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7fe338f01e40'
I have tried to found using exception breakpoint but doesn't work.
Can any have idea, where i am wrong?
I have resolved the issue by correcting in the plist for "allow arbitrary loads" in App Transport security Settings. I was typed it true but its type was set string instead for Boolean
Somewhere a NSDictionary is being passed to the code where it is expecting a something that can be interpreted as a boolean such as an NSString or NSNumber. I don't see anything like that in the code you provided. If exception breakpoints aren't working I would try adding normal breakpoints somewhere and stepping over code until it crashes. You could also try removing certain sections and code and seeing if the crash is still happening, this will let you narrow down what portion of your code is to blame.

Force reload watchOS 2 Complications

I have issues getting Complications to work. It would be helpful if I was able to reliably refresh them.
Therefore I linked a force-press menu button to the following method
#IBAction func updateComplication() {
let complicationServer = CLKComplicationServer.sharedInstance()
for complication in complicationServer.activeComplications {
complicationServer.reloadTimelineForComplication(complication)
}
}
Unfortunately this leads to the app crashing. with a fatal error: unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value.
I understand that calling reloadTimelineForComplication(complication) is budgeted but that can't be the issue here as it doesn't work from the very beginning.
I am currently using watchOS2 + Xcode 7 GM
I'd appreciate any ideas on making Complications refresh while the app is running?
Trace or use the exception breakpoint and focus on reading the whole error message where it tells you exactly on which line it found the nil unexpectedly (I do suspect the complicationServer). Use 'if let' instead of 'let' to force unwrap the respective variable.
private func reloadComplications() {
if let complications: [CLKComplication] = CLKComplicationServer.sharedInstance().activeComplications {
if complications.count > 0 {
for complication in complications {
CLKComplicationServer.sharedInstance().reloadTimelineForComplication(complication)
NSLog("Reloading complication \(complication.description)...")
}
WKInterfaceDevice.currentDevice().playHaptic(WKHapticType.Click) // haptic only for debugging
}
}
}

Parse saveInBackgroundWithBlock crashes on iOS

I am adding some data into my parse class (table) successfully.
After saving is successfully completed (I can see the data on website), my app crashes without leaving any message on console. I tried to get a message by using "Enable Zombie Objects" setting. This is the message I am getting which has nothing to do what I am doing:
-[UIActivityIndicatorView release]: message sent to deallocated instance 0x126d16780
I do not have any UIActivityIndicatorView in my whole project.
This is how I save my data:
var currentUser = PFUser.currentUser()!
var userCase = PFObject(className: "Case")
userCase.relationForKey("user").addObject(currentUser)
userCase["caseCode"] = "test_code"
userCase.saveInBackgroundWithBlock {
(success: Bool, error: NSError?) -> Void in
if (success) {
// The object has been saved.
println("saved")
} else {
// There was a problem, check error.description
println("error occurred: \(error?.description)")
}
}
Swift SDK version: 1.7.5
Xcode version: 6.4
Has anybody have ever faced with such problem?
UPDATE: This error does not occur on simulator (tested on iPhone 5, iPhone 5S, iPhone 6) and does not occur on device at first run.
Tried removing and re-installing the app.
UPDATE 2: Removing PFFacebookUtils.initializeFacebookWithApplicationLaunchOptions(launchOptions) or changing it to PFFacebookUtils.initialize() from AppDelegate fixes the issue but I think I need to use initializeFacebookWithApplicationLaunchOptions(launchOptions). I have another problem now.
You may do the following.
1) Go to PFFacebookUtils.h
2) change:
(void)initializeFacebookWithApplicationLaunchOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions;
To:
(void)initializeFacebookWithApplicationLaunchOptions:(PF_NULLABLE NSDictionary *)launchOptions;
