I had a working MKMapKit working in an app Im working on and decided to
convert it to MapQuest's MQMapKit which is supposed to be a drop-in replacement from
what I understand. After doing so (and checking for any 'MK' map stuff...which I dont
believe I have any now, they are all 'MQ' map references), Im getting the following
crash when the app tries to start up. Im not sure where 'prepareKeyForNewAnimation'
comes from. It seems to me to be a MapQuest Library issue (which is version 1.0.1).
Any ideas what is causing this or how to fix it? Thanks for any help on this!

[EDIT] Very bizarre. This was happening in the simulator on ipad. I tried plugging
in my iphone 5 and I got a provisioning error (even though it worked earlier and shouldnt
have been an issue. When I edited the dev profile and added a couple other users that
I had and re-downloaded it, it still didnt work. When I went into the settings and changed
the debug/release/distro settings to the generic 'Developer profile' for all three it
now worked fine without crashing. Bizarre!
[EDIT] NOT so solved....still crashing on and off, mostly on. Any help would be
appreciated.
[SOLVED] Found this article where I missed adding -ObjC to 'Other Linker Flags':

The following code exports a file from my app's 'tmp' folder to other apps using UIActivityViewController.
private func exportFile(_ fileURL: URL) {
let items: [Any] = [fileURL]
let activityViewController = UIActivityViewController(activityItems: items, applicationActivities: nil)
present(activityViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
This code was working fine and I could export to iCloud, Google Drive, Mail, Outlook and iZip (the latter using 'Copy to iZip').
However, my app has recently started crashing after selecting 'Copy to iZip' when exporting, though exporting to the other apps works fine. Between it working and crashing there have been updates to iOS, iZip and my app.
Crashlytics reports the following, but this looks deep in iOS and it's difficult to know what the root cause of the problem is:
Fatal Exception: NSInvalidArgumentException
*** -[__NSArrayM insertObject:atIndex:]: object cannot be nil
ShareSheet __79-[UIActivityViewController willPerformInServiceActivityWithRequest:completion:]_block_invoke_3

Any idea what the problem might be? I'm not sure whether it's a problem with my app, iOS or iZip.
Thanks to the suggestion from #koen, I contacted iZip support and had a very quick and helpful response. It also ties in with #WILL K. 's suggestion of trying a different directory.
The problem basically seems to be associated with directory permissions. Apparently some apps like iZip open the shared file in situ and so need permission to do so. As can be seen here https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/FileManagement/Conceptual/FileSystemProgrammingGuide/FileSystemOverview/FileSystemOverview.html , the Documents/ directory "can be made available to the user through file sharing" whereas the tmp/ directory is more restricted.
So instead of using the tmp/ directory I tried using the Documents/ directory and the problem was solved. Thanks to iZip support for their rapid response and highlighting the issue with permissions.
For interest, on using the /Documents folder, more options came up for sharing with other apps.
There is also a useful article on how app extensions work (host apps, app extensions and container apps) here:
https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/General/Conceptual/ExtensibilityPG/ExtensionOverview.html
Sorry for asking this noob question, I know it has been asked thousands of times before, I know because I've had this problem thousands of times before. But this time google isn't helping.
The error / terminal print:
libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException
I generally know what type of situations cause this because I have had this issue in the past and it was quite simple to fix, usually a misnamed function or a broken link between some UI element and my code, but right now I have no idea what could be causing it.
What I have already tried:
I've added tonnes of breakpoints on the starting ViewController and it goes through all the #IBOutlets without throwing any issues. I've added breakpoints in all the methods in the AppDelegate and it doesn't break anywhere there. The code crashes before it reaches any viewDidLoad() methods. I've cleaned my project, restarted XCode a thousand times and even broken and re-made every link between UI and code. Renamed and then reassigned every #IBAction.
At this point I don't even know what I haven't tried. Every stackoverflow posts is always about the same thing "check broken links etc" but that just isn't helping anymore. I can't remember what it was that I changed because I changed so many small things before I started getting this error. I tried putting everything back but that didn't seem to help.
When the app crashes:
Right after "applicationDidBecomeActve()" is finished the debugger goes into a bunch of machine code, then the app crashes and I get this:
Proof of correct linking:
[Images removed as they were unneccessary]
My main question(s):
If linking is not the issue here, what else could it be?
About NSLogs/stack traces
I would love to provide some sort of NSLog or stack trace as I have seen people ask and give for on other questions but I have no idea how. I cannot find anything on the internet that isn't from the stone age on how to turn them on. And everything else is just how to use the debugger, but I am using the debugger and all I am getting are brief glimpses of my code in a see of machine instructions until it finally just crashes.
EDIT:
Apparently I can only get logs when running on an emulator instead of physical device. Here are the logs I get when running on emulator:

Just add
NSSetUncaughtExceptionHandler { exception in
print(exception)
print(exception.callStackSymbols)
}
at the bottom of didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method of AppDelegate. It will give you the better info about the exception occurred.
Happy coding !
Once I was able to see my app log I could see my custom class was not being found. I'll leave the fix I found for this issue for any people who have this issue in the future:
Xcode 6 Strange Bug: Unknown class in Interface Builder file
This happened to me when I accidentaly removed one of my storyboards from my targets. Make sure to double check your Target Membership.
I have an iOS app which was running fine until yesterday and suddenly started to crash with Thread 1: signal SIGABRT at this point:
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
Having no idea of the cause I typed bt in the debugging console and got this:

Browsing the net for similar issues I have read it may be due to some problems related to the StoryBoard, but since I am doing everything programmatically I have some doubts that it applies to my case. I have also tried to use an exception break point just in case, but with no success.
I have even remade the project, the problem is still there. It seems something goes wrong even before my code starts to execute. I wonder what I can check.
Anyway if someone can give me a hint on what may be the issue, or on how to further investigate, that would be much appreciated.
My application crashes each and every time I try to step over a call. Without debugger it works fine.
Also, when I run the app in simulator it woks fine with or without debugger.
Recently I upgraded my Mac OS X 10.8 to 10.9 (Mavericks). There were no issues before the upgrade.
What causes the issue and how could I fix it?
Below is the back trace. My app uses ARC. I have enabled zombies and added exception breakpoint but no zombies where detected and exception breakpoint is never triggered.

EDIT 2:
Greg Clayton in the XCode 5 Crashes while running the app on device suggests following
Others have seen this issue.
A few things to try:
1 - Reboot your device and try again. The theory is an old developer disk image is already mounted and won't be unmounted until you reboot.
2 - Re-install the OS on the device
Hopefully #1 fixes your issue. Others have done #2 and had their issue fixed, but hopefully it doesn't require an OS re-install.
I did both and it didn't help.
I tried to use another device and it made a difference. Exceptions are still there if I use iPod Touch with iOS 6.1 but iPad with iOS 7.0.2 works fine.
So, it looks like the issue is related to the iOS version installed on the device. I am still not sure what to do to fix it.
EDIT 3:
My Command Line Tools version matches my Xcode version (I have only one version of Command Line Tools, actually).
The issues is probably not related to the code being debugged. It crashes with newly created Single View Application created by Xcode. And it crashes when stepping over trivial code:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
I have asked on Apple Developer Forum and got following response from Jason Molenda:
We're tracking a bug that sounds like what you're seeing here. It is
a subtle timing issue that requires a slightly slower host machine or
a slightly slower device to hit. It is primarily iPhone 4 and similar
that will see this with iOS 7. With iOS 6, iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS
devices are most likely to experience it. ... This issue will only
happen with Xcode 5.0.1.
So, it seems like it's a bug in Xcode.
Ok, this is definitely a bug in Xcode 5.0.1.
This is confirmed by Jason Molenda on Apple Developer Forum. The only workaround for now is to use older version of Xcode and the older version of Mac OS X because Xcode 5 requires OS X 10.8.4.
There is no announced ETA for a fix for this issue. Direct question about ETA on Apple Developer Forum is left without answer.
UPDATE 06-Nov-2013:
Today a pre-release version of Xcode 5.0.2 became available on developer.apple.com. This version fixes (among other things) the following issue:
Debugging an application on a device running iOS 6.x causes the
application to crash with EXC_BAD_ACCESS. This has been resolved.
(15310896)
I have installed the new version and the issue is indeed gone. Now I am able to debug apps on my 6.x devices again.
Jason Molenda in thread on Apple Developer Forum said:
I'm told you can submit apps to the app store with this Xcode 5.0.2
seed.
I confirm I have exactly same bug. My App worked fine.
After upgrade to Xcode 5 and Mavericks code work but when I debug I can't Step Over certain lines as I get EXC_BAD_ACCESS.
So I have to remember lines that I can't pass with Step Over and put break point after these lines or use Continue to Line to jump over these problematic lines.
PS
Downloaded Xcode 5.0.2 GM seed and debugging is much better. I spent 30 minutes with new Xcode so far.
Please login developer site and download the Xcode 5.0.2 GM seed, it fixed this bug.
See the release notes.
Update 12-Nov-2013
Xcode 5.0.2 has released, you can download it from Dev Center
Using iOS 6.1 my App crashes regulary, directly after startup, when it attempts to make several HTTP-Requests, but it works fine on any OS < 6.1.
I'm experiencing
EXC_BAD_ACCESS crashes in the strlen function called from the Queue : com.apple.CFURLCACHE_work_queue, everytime my App is started, except for the first time.
I could resolve the issue by clearing the NSURLCache, directly after the app started:
[[NSURLCache sharedURLCache] removeAllCachedResponses];
Does anyone else experience these crashes? Could there be some issue in the application code causing these crashes? Or should this be a bug filed to apple?
Experiencing a similar crash since iOS 6.1 with a newly installed application. The difference is that the crash occurs when tapping a text cell in a table view. No web requests are being made at this time.

Reported this as a TSI to Apple, it was reviewed and they requests that I log this as a bug, still need to do this.
Interestingly enough the solution which you found also helped me, clearing the cache at launch solved this problem.
This is only half an answer, but I'm running into a very similar problem whilst running my unit tests. Bizarrely, this only seemed to start happening today.
The full details of my issue are outlined in this Apple dev forums thread.
The common link between our problems appears to be the call to RecreateEmptyPersistentStoreOnDiskAndOpen_NoLock(). If my understanding of CFURLCache is correct, and based on the backtrace, it uses a sqlite3 database internally as a cache. I'd assume this function call creates the empty sqlite3 database on disk.
I was able to repeatedly and consistently stop my tests crashing by deleting the simulator's Library/Caches directory (~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/6.1/Library/Caches) and make the crash return by re-creating that directory.
Deleting the entire simulator home directory and letting it be recreated by launching my app in the simulator would also fix and re-create the issue.
I'm guessing this is an OS bug; the curious thing is why for me, it only just started happening.
