I keep getting EXC_BAD_ACCESS(code=1) intermittently. I've been trying to figure out what's wrong with this exception for hours but I have not been able to get to the bottom of it. The problem is that XCode doesn't really tell why it's crashing.
I have All Objective-C Exceptions set up with po $arg1 but the crash pointer still points to AppDelegate. Just to give you guys more info of what I am doing, I am creating dashboard with a pretty customized NSOutlineView that calls reloadData pretty frequently (every 5 seconds). The dataSource also gets updated before reloadData is called. I have suspicion that this concurrent updating of data and redisplaying it might be the issue but I am still not 100%.
When it crashes, it points to class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate.
The stackframe looks like:
When I click on frame 1, I get:
And the debug navigator

We've got an app that's fairly large now, and we recently upgraded to iOS 10. In doing so, a new bug was introduced, and we're at a loss for how to solve it.
The crash itself occurs during a call to layoutIfNeeded(). However, the crash does not occur unless the layoutIfNeeded() call is contained inside a UIView.animateWithDuration() block. No amount of weak referencing, delays, or dispatch calls seems to have any effect. The same crash can be triggered during a call to [super viewWillTransitionToSizeWithTransitionCoordinator].
"An Objective-C message was sent to a deallocated 'Bubble' object (zombie) at address: 0x10924f030."
Enabling Zombies shows that we have a Release call going to one of our UIView subclasses, which we've named Bubble. Nothing too special there, some layout constraints and a gesture recognizer.
The Instruments app hasn't helped much, nor has the new visual memory debugger in Xcode 8 (though it is awesome, surprisingly little documentation on the feature).
I've included a screenshot of Zombies during the crash here. While I know the retain count can be misleading, there are certainly some confusing points to the trace, and we could really use some help diagnosing this.
Again, this code worked fine before iOS 10. We've been unable to find any notes from Apple about underlying changes to UIKit that may have had an effect.
Some more brief info: [Bubble cleanBubbles] simply iterates over the subviews of any view passed in, and removes the subview if its a Bubble class.
Apologies on certain violations of naming conventions, I'm sure there's plenty to criticize!
Thanks
In my app I use UIPageViewController (PVC) with UIPageViewControllerTransitionStylePageCurl transition style and UIPageViewControllerSpineLocationMid spin location. So PVC shows two pages at a time.
I experience a rare crash when I try to scroll past the last pages. The log says:
Terminating app due to uncaught exception
'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'The number of view controllers
provided (0) doesn't match the number required (2) for the requested
transition'.
I thought I did something wrong and tried to play around with Apple demo project (https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/samplecode/ZoomingPDFViewer/Introduction/Intro.html).
And the crash happened there too. It's hard to reproduce, you should scroll almost perpendicular to normal scroll axis (vertically).
My guess is that dataSource's methods got called in wrong order and messed PVC's integrity.
I got this order of calls:
2016-08-19 15:03:52.905 ZoomingPDFViewer[7469:1878917] next controller: nil
2016-08-19 15:03:53.358 ZoomingPDFViewer[7469:1878917] prev controller: <DataViewController: 0x14dd5b990>
2016-08-19 15:03:53.358 ZoomingPDFViewer[7469:1878917] prev controller: <DataViewController: 0x14dd42a50>
2016-08-19 15:03:53.373 ZoomingPDFViewer[7469:1878917] next controller: nil
So it seems PVC kind of wants to scroll and back and forth at the same time.
My question is there any way to workaround this problem? I can't think of any right now as dataSource's methods return correct data (so it seems).
The whole "scrolling both directions at once" thing is probably because of the bounce effect. Are you doing any sort of manipulation of the views on non-main threads?
UIPageViewController is kind of buggy as heck (and I'm being kind here) if you do anything even remotely nontrivial with it. You might read over my answer in Disable bounce effect in UIPageViewController and see if you're doing any of the things that the other answers to that question were doing.
Beyond that, I would suggest filing a bug. The more people file bugs against UIPageViewController, the more likely Apple is to fix it.
I have a UITextView, and whenever I click on it, the app crashes with the following error:
-[__NSSetM _hideForKeyboardAppearance]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7fb8aa76cd60
If I run the app multiple times, it always crashes at the same place, but the intercepting object that is throwing the "unrecoginzed selector" can be different. Sometimes it is UIImage instead of NSSetM, sometimes, it is a UIConstraint, etc.
Even if I don't assign the UITextView to a specific outlet in my class, or have it assigned to a delegate, I get the same behavior. This happens on both simulator and hardware.
Any ideas what is going on?
p.s. this is iOS 8. Crash happens on both iPhone and iPad.
Edit: Note that this happens even though the UITextView calls no code. I removed any outlet connections in the storyboard, and even made it so my class doesn't implement UITextViewDelegate. Still crashes. That is why I am so puzzled and wondered if anyone has ever encountered something like this. One thing to note is that the view controller having this issue is buried several screens deep within a UISplitViewController. Not sure if someone UI elements buried deep in the nav stack are somehow intercepting the keyboard call?
My app crashes randomly when navigating back in a NavigationController. Here is what I know:
It happens randomly (sometimes, I can come back once or twice and if I reload the viewController and press "back" again it will crash)
It happens even with an empty ViewController (I tried to comment out all my code in ViewController.h and .m and to remove all the outlets links)
Nothing shows up in the debug console, only a EXEC_BAD_ACCESS is shown in main.m
I spent the afternoon on this and tried everything.
I don't include code right now because I have no idea where to look. As I said, it even happens with an empty ViewController.
Any thoughts or similar experience ?
EDIT:
Yes I tried to add an exception breakpoint
I even tried to find some observer issues with Spark debugger.
EDIT 2:
Actually, the ViewControllers were not that empty. The import on an UIView category was the problem. Check my answer below.
It's difficult to say exactly what could be causing it without more information, but in my experience the most common reason for an EXC_BAD_ACCESS is when someone tries to call a selector on a deallocated instance. This issue can be a lot easier to debug if you enable zombie objects.
Edit Scheme -> Diagnostics -> Enable Zombie Objects
Now instead of getting a bad access exception you should get a more helpful "message sent to deallocated instance" error (assuming that's actually the problem), along with what method was being called on which class of object.
The problem was that some of my views were importing a custom UIView category that included a dealloc method. I deleted the dealloc method from the category and everything is fine now.
I have an iPad app that has been running fine until iOS7. This issue seems to be only on ipad 2nd gen models and earlier when iOS7 is installed. Anyway, I've been tearing my hair out trying to figure out where this error is coming from, but have had no luck. The console in xcode (5) reports the following error after I perform a logged in segue:
2013-11-18 11:17:31.768 MyApp[400:60b] *** -[UIToolbar backdropView:willChangeToGraphicsQuality:]: message sent to deallocated instance 0x18ec23e0
I can't lookup the address for more info (image lookup -a 0x18ec23e0) it just returns nothing.
In instruments running zombies, it reports that a message was sent to a UIToolbar like so:
When I inspect the instance, I get the following:
How do I debug this? I have no idea where this call is being made and it seems dependent upon a physical deivce (doesn't happen on the iPad mini or ipad 3/4)
I was struggling with a very similar error, also with a UIToolbar, that I couldn’t figure out until a couple hours ago. I also had to use and try to understand the zombies’ instrument but without any luck.
What I did was to pay a close attention to the call stack that was presented when the Exception Breakpoint was activated as described in the following tutorial:
http://www.raywenderlich.com/10209/my-app-crashed-now-what-part-1
Even though the call stack didn’t point me to the exact code line, I noticed that the app was trying to add a UIToolbar to a ViewController. Turns out that what I was doing was creating a local UIToolbar inside of a method and adding it to the presented UIView. After have modified this behavior, I stopped having the annoying sudden crash. It was difficult for me to find the issue because looking at the code of the ViewController that caused the crash, there was no code that created or used a UIToolbar; however this VC included a custom view that did exactly that, as I explained before.
Have said all of this I recommend you to closely inspect the VC that generates the crash. If you need to create a UIToolbar programmatically I recommend you to declare it as a strong property to maintain the memory reference as long as needed.
I hope this helps you.
I struggled with this for a while today. I had two storyboards, one for login/signup (set as the main storyboard for the project) and another with the rest of the application. The app delegate would detect if a user was logged in and instantiate the root view controller of the other storyboard. The root view controller of the login storyboard is a navigation controller and after after some investigation with instruments I realized there was a UIToolbar being instantiated from the nib. Opening up the storyboard file revealed an off-screen UIToolbar object in the root view controller. I deleted it and I'm not crashing any more.
I should also mention this crash was only occurring when I was using MKMapView.
