Block invoke dispatch crash iOS 7 - ios

Using dispatch manager in my iOS app for 2 years now. Ever since iOS 7 strange crashes are happening when using it the same way. I have a switch what updates a value in the database (CoreData) and when done i do a reload. Sometimes when switching the control to on or off the app crashes on block invoke of the refresh system. But only since iOS 7..
What can i do about this?
Error:

my app crashing on ipad because the releasing objects

I have developed application for ipad, already developed for iphone and works great but when moving to ipad I merged the pages together so the page has more than one table and too many objects
when open the main page it works sometimes but when I go to another page and try to go back to the main page the app crashes and gives this

I have read many articles some of them said that it releasing objects already released and some of them is not helping at all telling that I should look for allocating but I don't know how to use it, tried but nothing works.
So please any one can help me with this issue?
Overreleased objects are called zombies. If you look around on the net, you can find some help on how to use the profiler (Apple Instruments) to track them down.
Here are a couple of Apple links about zombie hunting.

Why is qemu-arm running pthread_join repeatedly in this arm assembly code?

I wrote this arm assembler code calling pthread to implement multi-threading features. I wrote two similar files, but this one is quite tricky.
The main function is:
main:
stmfd sp!, {fp,lr}
add fp, sp, #4
sub sp, sp, #8
sub r3, sp, #8
mov r0, r3
mov r1, #0
ldr r2, .l_thrd1
mov r3, #0
bl pthread_create
ldr r3, [fp, #-8]
mov r0, r3
mov r1, #0
bl pthread_join
...
use objdump to see the related disassembled code:
00405468 <pthread_join>:
405468: e5903068 ldr r3, [r0, #104] ; 0x68
40546c: e92d45f0 push {r4, r5, r6, r7, r8, sl, lr}
405470: e3530000 cmp r3, #0
405474: e24dd014 sub sp, sp, #20
405478: e1a05000 mov r5, r0
40547c: e1a06001 mov r6, r1
405480: ba00004a blt 4055b0 <pthread_join+0x148>
405484: e590321c ldr r3, [r0, #540] ; 0x21c
....
It looks normal, unless it caused the segment error. The qemu.log looks messy and crappy around this:
----------------
IN: pthread_join
INST: isa=[0] opk=[JMP_OP] src={-,-,-,-} dst={-,-} shift={-,-,-} c=[1] s=[-] imm=[24,74] rotate_reg=[-] vfp={-,-,-,-} vfp_val={-,-,-,-} ###

....
Obviously, pthread_join has been entered twice. And at the second time, the 'push' instruction seems not to have been fully executed. The registers also seem normal. I just do not get it.
Another code runs in the right order. They almost same coded.
Nobody's got an answer for the question. I got to answer it myself.
The problem was caused by because stack pointer (r13) was unintentionally saved on the memory and changed by another thread. So r13 pointed to another memory address and caused the segment error.

iOS App crashes on launch no device while debugging only - not in simulator or during normal device app launch

I'm trying to determine what's causing a crash I'm seeing while testing my app. It now throws EXEC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0x1) each time I try to run the app from xcode with the iphone connected.
The app crashes but I don't see a new entry in the crash log.I've tried running with Zombies enabled but I get the same crash.
Weird thing is if I debug with the simulator, run the app on the device by tapping its icon, or even in Instruments, I don't get this error. Any suggestion and/or explanation would be very much appreciated.
Here's what I see in Xcode:

Try to enable all memory debugging options in cmd-alt-b menu: zombies, scribble, etc. And set exception breakpoint.
When in doubt, reboot your device. Works fine now. Could not isolate what was causing the error.

malloc: *** mmap(size=1048576) failed (error code=12) *** error: can't allocate region securely

I have a app, when I had run it for a few minutes, it always crashed. I check the crash log, it always said
malloc: * mmap(size=1048576) failed (error code=12)
* error: can't allocate region securely
I checked the memory leaks by using the instruments tools, but did not find any memory leak. I wonder if there are some memory leaks the instruments can not find, or some other reasons for the crash.
any help will be appreciated!
Edit:
I used the time profiler to check the performance. but I don't know what's the key point because the top items are these:
Running Time Self Symbol Name
6494.0ms 9.4% 6494.0 -[DLStarView initWithDefault:highlighted:position:allowFractions:]
(my app has a lot of list, each item has a self made star view)
Running Time Self Symbol Name
5848.0ms 8.4% 5848.0 +[ASIHTTPRequest runRequests]
(my app always get data from sever)

Running Time Self Symbol Name
1252.0ms 1.8% 1252.0 -[KLRestDetailViewController tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:]
is it userful? how can I check if I stuffing a bunch of stuff?
PS: this crash only appear on the real device, I ran it in the simulator for about 20 minutes and the app still run smoothly, my device is iPhone4S iOS 6.0.1
I set a break point and got the messages:
the crash thread messages are not always the same
but in the console output, It always said
malloc: * mmap(size=1048576) failed (error code=12)
error: can't allocate region securely
** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
I was so confused by this bug for a few days, any idea? thanks!

Potential causes for EXC_BAD_ACCESS exception in PhoneGap app for iOS?

We're using PG 2.0 to wrap up a mobile app built with jQuery 1.8.2. We're on Xcode 4.4 and iOS 5.1.1.
We often encounter the following exception: Thread 1: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0x130). The stack trace is below. Here is the output from Zombies: * -[UIWebOverflowScrollView _viewDelegate]: message sent to deallocated instance 0xf4e0330**
We have no clue what could cause this since we're coding entirely in HTML and JavaScript, relying on PG to interface with the hardware.
Any clues? Has this happened to other PG users?
Thanks!
