Crash with pdfTron Integration iOS - ios

I am using pdfTron with iOS. I have successfully integrated PDFTron with my iOS application.
Now I am facing an issue where in if an already made annotation is selected and I try to go back from the view, the application is crashing with EXC_BAD_ACCESS error. I am able to see the previous screen while going back. After the previous screen appears, then the app gets crashed in main. This does not happen when I come back without the annotation being selected.

The first thing that Annot::IsValid does is check if the pointer is null or not. So if IsValid is crashing, then this means the underlying PDFDoc object has been destroyed, or the underlying pointer is not valid somehow.
First thing to check is if the PDFDoc object is alive or not. If it is destroyed then no objects associated with it should be used.
Or, you deleted the Annotation object earlier somehow, or its underlying pointer got changed. Object references should not be kept around in case they do get moved/deleted. If you want to retain annotations for long term, please see this post.

Finding caller when not visible in backtrace

My application is hitting 100% CPU and continuously consuming more RAM. I have used instruments and found the offending line of code, it seems its being called in some sort of an infinite loop. However the backtrace does not give me any indication of the caller only a library function that is calling it.
I have searched the entire codebase and have not located any user code calling the offending function.
I'm looking for a way to dig deeper and discover what may be causing _setupAnimationWithDuration:delay:view:options:factory:animations:start:animationStateGenerator:completion to be repeatedly called

Getting error "-[NSThread threadDictionary]: message sent to deallocated instance"

Sometime after writing code to my project, I noticed the debugger would pause my application and put lldb in the console and couldn't let me continue. I used NSZombies and I got this message : "-[NSThread threadDictionary]: message sent to deallocated instance". I have looked around but couldn't find any help what is causing this. When I print the backtrace I get:

Any help to find out whats going on will help tremendously!
Found out the problem was I had a label with a weak reference. I was hiding it for to long and it seems the garbage collection cleaned in up. So when I tried to send data to it, it was already dealloc.
Somewhere you are calling an instance method of any class and class object is nil.

How to decode a Message sent to deallocated instance error

I am running into a strange crash I'm having issues debugging. My scheme has both zombies and address sanatizer enabled.
I'm getting the error:
2015-09-05 06:56:16.240 asgaard[486:110984] *** -[CFString
boundingRectWithSize:options:attributes:context:]: message sent to
deallocated instance 0x1897b210
which is pretty unhelpful to me as its breaking on some assembly code.
I tried the memory history command which I'm not sure is what i need and got the following output:

frame #8: 0x001ef70c asgaard`-[ActiveRecordingViewController updateSpeeds](self=<unavailable>, _cmd=<unavailable>) + 836 at ActiveRecordingViewController.m:578
Frame 8 is a function I wrote - and it is running in an async loop on the main thread - could that somehow be connected to this error?
The actual code line is:
578: [self coreGroundSpeed].text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d Kts", coreSpd];
Any suggestions where/what to look at?

[CFNumber retain]: message sent to deallocated instance

I am getting a EXC_BAD_ACCESS error every time I trigger a certain segue in my app. Thanks to these two links, I learned you can trouble shoot EXC_BAD_ACCESS easier after enabling NSZombies.
How do I set up NSZombieEnabled in Xcode 4?
http://www.touch-code-magazine.com/how-to-debug-exc_bad_access/
I am using this app adhoc and testing it adhoc. http://www.raywenderlich.com/13511/how-to-create-an-app-like-instagram-with-a-web-service-backend-part-12
When the app loads, a UIScrollView with pictures are shown. When you tap a picture, a push segue is triggered to the fullscreen shot of that picture. The app runs perfectly on iPad but on my iPhone 4 it crashes every time before the push segue. Ive been stuck on this for a week. I just found out what NSZombies are and how to enable them: after I enable them the dubber reads as follows:
2015-07-03 22:26:36.170 iReporter[1878:60b] *** -[CFNumber retain]: message sent to deallocated instance 0x172e6210

If i need to post more code/info it might be this: (section of code that the editor highlights on crash sometimes as well telling me its EXC_BAD_ACCESS_)
[api commandWithParams:[NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:#"stream", #"command", IdPhoto,#"IdPhoto", nil] onCompletion:^(NSDictionary *json) {
All I am trying to do is call the above data using j son and load it via a push segue. It works absolutely fine on iPad but crashes every time on iPhone 4?
Find the NSNumber property declaration,and check if you have wrongly give a type of assign.

UICollectionView crash on scroll

I tried to create a UICollectionView using the Flow Layout.
The cells are simply text labels for the time being.
The first screen of cells is displayed just fine, but when I try to scroll, the simulator crashes.
The debugger shows the following messages:

I am using the latest version of rubymotion and the IOS Simulator set to iPhone 4 Inch with IOS 7.1.
The code I am using can be found here:
https://gist.github.com/jhmegorei/42c15038a34971ac5e8e
Note: I did not want to use a CollectionViewController, as I require the collection View to be just another view element that can be added to a normal UIView.
I would be glad if there is anyone who could help me investigate the root cause of this crash :)
There is no "MemoListViewDelegate.rb" in the gist. Did you mean "MemoListDataSource.rb" ?
Also, I assume you mean you changed
list_view.dataSource = MemoListDatasource.new
to
list_view.dataSource = self
as well as moving the data source methods in there.
Did you make any other changes to get it to work?
