App Crashing: Mutating method sent to immutable object
(4 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I want to add an object to an existing NSMutableArray which already has data in it.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
NSDictionary *json = [Server getMsgRecordwithfid:self.fid];
self.msgRecords = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
self.msgRecords = [json objectForKey:#"msg_record"];
}
- (IBAction)sendBtn:(id)sender {
NSDictionary *json = [Server insertNewMsg:data];
[self.msgRecords addObject:json];
}
When I run the above code, the program crashes at [self.msgRecords addObject:json];. And then it gives the below error message.
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: '-[__NSCFArray insertObject:atIndex:]: mutating method sent to immutable object'
What's wrong with my code?

What's wrong of my code?
Your code is writing over the NSMutableArray, replacing a mutable collection with an immutable one that you retrieve from json.
To fix this, call mutableCopy on the array that you retrieve:
// The first line is no longer necessary
//self.msgRecords = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
self.msgRecords = [[json objectForKey:#"msg_record"] mutableCopy];

Add Dictionary to NSMutableArray of Dictionaries

I have an NSMutableArray called myMutbaleArray that looks like this when I log it
2015-12-08 17:04:21.679 APP[3342:573379] (
{
id = 19;
"num_test" = 100000;
url = "http://fsad.com";
},
{
id = 20;
"num_test" = 100001;
url = "http://teeeet.com";
}
)
And I want to add an object that looks like this
{
id = 21;
"num" = 100002;
url = "http://example.com";
}
So I am trying this
[myMutbaleArray addObject:#{ #"id":#"23",#"num_test":#"100000", #"url":mainDict[#"website_url"],#"website_name":#"website"}];
But when I do this I get
Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: '-[__NSCFArray insertObject:atIndex:]: mutating method sent to immutable object'
I initialize the array like this
#interface {
NSMutableArray *socailArray;
}
//inside connectionDidFinishLoading
socailArray = [dataDict valueForKey:#"socail"];
Why can I add another dictionary to the MutableArray?
Thanks
If you see this, your array is actually not a mutable array. Here is the hint:
-[__NSCFArray insertObject:atIndex:]
^^^^^^^^^^^
The object is of type __NSCFArray, which is an internal counterpart of NSArray.
Even if you declare your variable as NSMutableArray the pointer can point to an object of any type (event for example NSRegularExpression). Important is, how it is created.
This happens to most people if they serialise an array either using NSUserDefaults, NSJSONSerialization or what ever.
The key is to create a mutable copy when the array gets deserialised using
-[NSArray mutableCopy]
Note that this is not deep-copy. This means an array contained in the root array will not be mutable copied and needs to be replaced separately.
Deep copying can be achieved using this:
// array
NSArray *originalArray = #[#"a", #"b", #[#1, #2]];
NSMutableArray *mutableArray = (NSMutableArray *)CFPropertyListCreateDeepCopy(kCFAllocatorDefault, (CFArrayRef)originalArray, kCFPropertyListMutableContainers);
// dictionary
NSDictionary *originalDictionary = #{#"a": #"b", #"c": #[#{#"abc": #123}]};
NSMutableDictionary *mutableDictionary = (NSMutableDictionary *)CFPropertyListCreateDeepCopy(kCFAllocatorDefault, (CFDictionaryRef)originalDictionary, kCFPropertyListMutableContainers);
You should change init to:
//inside connectionDidFinishLoading
socailArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray:[dataDict valueForKey:#"socail"]];
Because: [dataDict valueForKey:#"socail"] is a NSArray.
With socailArray = [dataDict valueForKey:#"socail"];, the type of [dataDict valueForKey:#"socail"] is NSArray, so it auto cast socailArray into NSArray, that's why you can not insert thing into this.
To avoid this, you must be hold socailArray as NSMutableArray using:
socailArray = [[dataDict valueForKey:#"socail"] mutableCopy];
Hope this could help.

Trying to take objects out of an array, reverse them, and put them back in

as the title says I'm having an issue with taking objects out of an array, flipping them, and putting them back in. Below is the code I currently have that ends in this error
Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[__NSArrayI removeObjectsAtIndexes:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance
I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this? Here's a little more info on how I have it set up:
The object "PEG" is an NSString that displays "-0.6", "4.36"
GlobalSortedArray is an array filled with dictionary containing the PEG object
//Declare variables
NSMutableArray *negArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
NSMutableIndexSet *index = [[NSMutableIndexSet alloc]init];
int negcount = 0;
NSDictionary *forLoopDict;
for (forLoopDict in globalSortedArray)
{
if ([[forLoopDict objectForKey:#"PEG"] hasPrefix:#"-"])
{
[index addIndex:negcount];
}
negcount++;
}
NSLog(#"%#", negArray);
// Removes objects from main array. This is what seems to be messing up.
[globalSortedArray removeObjectsAtIndexes:index];
// Reverses the array
NSArray* reversedArray = [[negArray reverseObjectEnumerator] allObjects];
// insters them back into the main array
[globalSortedArray insertObjects:negArray atIndexes:0];
You are trying to remove an item from globalSortedArray. It is an NSArray and not mutable.
globalSortedArray as NSmutableArray
NSArray -- > NSMutableArray

I was trying to get the JSON data to an array. Below is the code... I dont know where am I going wrong..
When I keep a Log for arrayJSON Below is the result :

}
NSLog(#"Array Result: %#", arrayResult);

App terminated attempt to insert nil object from objects[0]

This process is sending eMails, and it works fine, but the framework wants the body of the email to be an NSArray. So I try to convert the NSString to a NSDictionary to include with the NSArray here:
NSDictionary *plainPart = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:kSKPSMTPPartContentTypeKey,
message,kSKPSMTPPartMessageKey,kSKPSMTPPartContentTransferEncodingKey, nil];
then I implement that here:
smtpTestMessage.parts = [NSArray arrayWithObject:plainPart];
Overall, here is my code:
NSLog(#"Start eMail");
SKPSMTPMessage *smtpTestMessage = [[SKPSMTPMessage alloc] init];
smtpTestMessage.fromEmail = #"***#gmail.com";
smtpTestMessage.toEmail = #"***#yahoo.com";
smtpTestMessage.relayHost = #"smtp.gmail.com";
smtpTestMessage.requiresAuth = YES;
smtpTestMessage.login = #"***#gmail.com";
smtpTestMessage.pass = #"***";
smtpTestMessage.subject = #"***";
smtpTestMessage.wantsSecure = YES;
smtpTestMessage.delegate = self;
NSDictionary *plainPart = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:kSKPSMTPPartContentTypeKey,
message,kSKPSMTPPartMessageKey,kSKPSMTPPartContentTransferEncodingKey, nil];
smtpTestMessage.parts = [NSArray arrayWithObject:plainPart];
[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",message];
[smtpTestMessage send];
NSLog(#"sent");
But sadly enough, when I run the app, the eMail gets to the last stage... Then the app terminates saying

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you for even reading this! xD <3
Make sure plainPart is created successfully and not a nil.
It's tough to judge but if I had to guess plainPart is not getting created. Why do I think this? Let's take a look at the error:
[__NSPlaceholderArray initWithObjects:count:]:
This points to an alloc/init sequence of calls. The only place in the code you shared where you are allocating an array is here:
smtpTestMessage.parts = [NSArray arrayWithObject:plainPart];
Therefore, if you are trying to create an array with a nil object, plainPart, then it makes sense why you are getting an error about trying to insert a nil object at location 0.
Try setting a breakpoint right at this call in your code. This will help you narrow down where the crash happens.
I am not sure what you are trying to do here
NSDictionary *plainPart = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:kSKPSMTPPartContentTypeKey,
message,kSKPSMTPPartMessageKey,kSKPSMTPPartContentTransferEncodingKey, nil];
but based on you naming convention you are storing a key in a value location. Also you could switch to the modern objective-C syntax
NSDictionary *plainPart = #{
message: kSKPSMTPPartContentTypeKey,
kSKPSMTPPartContentTransferEncodingKey: kSKPSMTPPartMessageKey
};
This is equivalent to what you wrote, but more readable. As stated in the other answers it look like there is a problem with the creation of plainPart. Hopefully looking at this should make it easier to debug.
Check first this line smtpTestMessage.parts = [NSArray arrayWithObject:plainPart];.
Whether it is smtpTestMessageallocated if yes then check any data exist inside this or not

Removing an object from a mutable dictionary throws an exception

I'm getting an exception after attempting to remove an object from a NSMutableDictionary. The relevant code follows. The 'settings' is passed to the method and can be a NSDictionary or a NSMutableDictionary.
NSMutableDictionary *mutableSettings = nil;
if ([settings isKindOfClass:[NSMutableDictionary class]])
mutableSettings = (NSMutableDictionary *)settings;
else
mutableSettings = [[[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithDictionary:settings] autorelease];
[mutableSettings removeObjectForKey:#"akey"];
This crashes with
* Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: '-[__NSCFDictionary removeObjectForKey:]: mutating method sent to immutable object'
Whats wrong with this? Thanks.
The problem here is that both NSDictionary and NSMutableDictionary return __NSCFDictionary as their class, due to the fact that NSDictionary is a class cluster.
I think you will just have to make a mutable copy of the settings dictionary whether it is mutable or not.
NSMutableDictionary *mutableSettings = [settings mutableCopy];
