[NSPlaceholderString initWithString:]: nil argument on jail break device - ios

Question

I tried with many search with the above title and also do as many advice of my search but cannot solved the problem. My app got crash when I build on the iPad which had jail break. But with the device not jail break it worked. Call the below function is the reason for crash:
-(void)btnLoginPressed:(id)sender {
[[MoboAccesstoken ActiveAccessToken] setMoboAccessTokenDelegate:self];
if (![[MoboAccesstoken ActiveAccessToken]isOpened]){
[MoboSDK openActiveSessionWithCompletion:^(NSDictionary *data) {
NSLog(#"data: %#", data);
}];
}
}
and the stack trace is:

Edit:
The crash only happen on iPad(jail break) 5.1.1. With iPad(jail break) 7.0.4 or 6. -> it worked.*
Reason: When I call openActiveSessionWithCompletion function,I do many actions to collect the info to make a url link. It included the action: get UUIDString .And with iOS 5.1 the result when get UUIDString is a NULL string. So that, it's reason for app crash when I call the command: uuid_String = [[NSString alloc]initWithString:[[[ASIdentifierManager sharedManager] advertisingIdentifier] UUIDString]];. initWithString: this function when push a NULL string will make app crash.

Answer 1

This is wrong:
uuid_String = [[NSString alloc]initWithString:[[[ASIdentifierManager sharedManager] advertisingIdentifier] UUIDString]]
Just do this:
uuid_String = [[[ASIdentifierManager sharedManager] advertisingIdentifier] UUIDString];
As for why it returns nil, probably because advertising is disabled on the device. Users are allowed to opt out of tracking.
Check the documentation and beware iOS 5 and 7 have different behaviour.
