XML Parsing goes to EXC_BAD_ACCESS code 1 address 0x10 - ios

Question

So here is the thing. I am trying to build no-ARC/no-Storyboard project without previous experience in manual memory-management.
Full source code available here.
So what I've got here is a
class, which helps me create Products object with custom initialiser
Products.h
#interface Products : NSObject
#property (nonatomic,retain)NSString *productName;
#property (nonatomic,retain)NSString *productDescription;
#property (nonatomic,retain)NSString *productImage;
-(id) initWithName: (NSString *) name
description: (NSString *) description
image: (NSString *) image;
#end
Products.m
#implementation Products
-(id) initWithName:(NSString *)name description:(NSString *)description image:(NSString *)image {
self = [super init];
if (self) {
self.productName = name;
self.productDescription = description;
self.productImage = image;
}
return self;
#end
There you can see ProductParser class, which one contains most of magic
ProductsParser.h
#interface ProductsParser : NSObject <NSXMLParserDelegate>
#property (nonatomic,retain) NSMutableArray *productArray;
-(id) initWithArray:(NSMutableArray *) productArray;
-(void) parseXMLFile;
#end
ProductParser.m
// Creating private properties
#interface ProductsParser()
#property NSXMLParser *parser;
#property NSString *element;
#property NSMutableString *currentProductName;
#property NSMutableString *currentProductDescription;
#property NSMutableString *currentProductImage;
#end
#implementation ProductsParser
-(id) initWithArray:(NSMutableArray *)productArray {
self = [super init];
if (self) {
self.productArray = productArray;
}
return self;
}
-(void) parseXMLFile {
// We will do it here instead of writing that in viewDidLoad
NSURL *xmlPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle]URLForResource:#"productsList" withExtension:#"xml" ];
self.parser = [[NSXMLParser alloc]initWithContentsOfURL:xmlPath];
self.parser.delegate = self;
[self.parser parse];
[self.parser release];
}
-(void) parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict {
self.element = elementName;
}
-(void) parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *)string {
string = [string stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"\n" withString:#""];
string = [string stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"\t" withString:#""];
string = [string stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#" " withString:#""];
if ([self.element isEqualToString:#"Name"]) {
if (self.currentProductName == nil) {
self.currentProductName = [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithString:string];
} else {
[self.currentProductName appendString:string];
}
}
if ([self.element isEqualToString:#"Description"]) {
if (self.currentProductDescription == nil) {
self.currentProductDescription = [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithString:string];
} else {
[self.currentProductDescription appendString:string];
}
} if ([self.element isEqualToString:#"Image"]) {
if (self.currentProductImage == nil) {
self.currentProductImage = [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithString:string];
} else {
[self.currentProductImage appendString:string];
}
}
}
-(void) parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didEndElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName {
if ([elementName isEqualToString:#"Product"]) {
Products *thisProduct = [[Products alloc] initWithName:self.currentProductName description:self.currentProductDescription image:self.currentProductImage];
[self.productArray addObject:thisProduct];
[self.currentProductName release];
self.currentProductName = nil;
[self.currentProductDescription release];
self.currentProductDescription = nil;
[self.currentProductImage release];
self.currentProductImage = nil;
[thisProduct release];
thisProduct = nil;
[self.element release];
self.element = nil;
}
}
#end
Later on, in the class which is suppose to handle the UITableView I am creating:
#property (retain,nonatomic)NSMutableArray *productArray;
And In viewDidLoad we have this code
self.productArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
ProductsParser *menuParser = [[ProductsParser alloc] initWithArray:self.productArray];
[menuParser parseXMLFile];
[menuParser release];
All that results in EXC_BAD_ACCESS pointing to
#property (nonatomic,retain)NSString *productName;
I've done some research about that error. Users claims that they successfully getting rid of that error by simply calling properties with self. syntax.(which is suppose to increase retain count?) In my case it is not the issue, as you may see.(Or did I missed something?)
I am also can see in debugger that productArray which is suppose to be populated with my products from .xml file, is in fact populated by trash stuff like #"/n/t" #"/n " #"/n/t" and so on.(why why why?!)
So at least point it to me, where to start. Really appreciate your guys help.
UPDATE 1: Apparently there was some defect logic, I almost got rid of the \n\t stuff by changing code in foundCharacters section.
So now instead of just \n\t \n \n\t I got actual data in my array with those afterwards. Like so:
#"Box of chocolate \n\t\t"
#"Box of chocolate, very tasty \n"
#"ImageName \n\t"
I know that \n should be like new line, and \t is apparently tabulation. Still, don't have a clear idea on how to completely get rid of those and why are they popping up.
UPDATE 2: I manage to get rid of the trashy \n\t from the array by adding stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString. (code updated)
