App crashes frequently at time when UIActionSheet would be presented - ios

I am getting the following error intermittently when a call is made to display an action sheet.
Assertion failure in -[UIActionSheet showInView:]
Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Invalid parameter not satisfying: view != nil'
Now in this case I've not changed screens. The UIActionSheet is presented when a local notification is fired and I have an observer call a local method on this view as such: I have the property marked as strong. When the action sheet is dismissed I also set it to nil. I am using a story board for the UI. It's fairly repeatable to crash it, perhaps less than 5 tries. (Thankfully I have that going for me). Any suggestions what to try next? I'm really pulling my hair out on this one. Most of the issues I've seen on this topic are pointing to the crash occurring once the selection is made. In my case it's at presentation and intermittently. Also for what it's worth, this particular view is several stacks deep in an embedded navigation controller. Home>tableview>detail select>viewController in question. This same issue occurs so far in testing on iOS 5.1 and iOS 6. I'm presuming it's something to do with how the show InView is being targeted.
self.actionSheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc]
initWithTitle:#"Select Choice" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Not Yet" destructiveButtonTitle:#"Do this Now" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[self.actionSheet showInView:self.parentViewController.tabBarController.view];

Based on your code, it would seem that self.tabBarController or self.tabBarController.tabBar are not set when this is called.
Try using:
[self.actionSheet showInView:self.view];
Edit: fixed error
Edit 2: Making the action sheet appear on top of a tab bar
[self.actionSheet showInView:[[UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate window]];

The answer to the problem was that I was not removing an NSNotificationCenter observer. It only became obvious when the change was made recommended by #zsnow which resolved the crash but resulted in duplicated UIAlertSheet dialogs being presented.
In my particular case adding the following resolved my issue. Thanks for everyone's help. The suggestions got me close enough to cross the finish line.
-(void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self];
}

How to present iOS Keyboard extension using presentViewController

My goal is to present the iOS Keyboard with the method presentViewController:animated:completion whenever the keyboard has successfully instantiated, taking advantage of the smooth upward animation.
Some very brief background: the keyboard extension project is written in Objective-C, with KeyboardViewController.h/.m handling the logic and some basic view layout from a inputView.xib.
Based on this SO question, several of the the answers suggested using the approach of calling presentViewController from [UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow.rootViewController. The problem is, as this is an iOS extension, when I try to replicate this method, I get the error that sharedApplication is not available. I was wondering if a workaround exists where I could present the Keyboard with the method presentViewController, either somehow via itself or via a super? In my current attempts, calling [self presentViewController: self...] causes an exception.
Much appreciated!
It can't be done.
One can actually acquire a reference to [UIApplication sharedApplication] easily, the most straightforward (though liable to get you rejected in App Store review) would be:
Class appClass = NSClassFromString(#"UIApplication");
id app = [appClass performSelector:#selector(sharedApplication)];
Running on the iPhone 5 simulator, [app keyWindow] returns nil when called from the principal input view controller's viewDidAppear: method.
[UIApplication windows], however, does not, so we could try
[[[app windows].firstObject rootViewController] presentViewController:self
animated:YES
completion:nil];
...but it just throws an exception:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'Application tried to present
modally an active controller .'
Walking the view hierarchy starting from UIApplication windows] reveals an interesting fact: the window of our UIInputViewController isn't in this window hierarchy. self.view.window returns a separate _UIHostedWindow with no superView.
Furthermore, There is no variation across apps of the addresses in memory of windows returned from [UIApplication sharedApplication].
Conclusion: the UIApplication we get from sharedApplication is the one for our process, not for the host process. Presenting on views and windows it owns therefore is pointless, because its views aren't visible to the user.

App crash when hitting back Navigation Controller

I have a strange issue where when I hit back (returning to UIViewController I had pushed from), my app crashes. It seems something is sending a message to my deallocated UIViewController (the one being popped).
I think the message being sent is UIViewHierachy Subviews. I do have code in both VCs that called viewDidLayoutSubviews but commenting this out did not help.
When I add an exception breakpoint, my app crashes when launching! Is this a storyboard issue or something in my code?
Crash log says :
2015-02-05 12:37:26.255 FitSpot[46915:6318736] *** -[TrainerCreateNewAccountViewController isKindOfClass:]: message sent to deallocated instance 0x7f988636ad40
Turns out quickly copying and pasting code was my problem:
self.emailSignUpField.layer.delegate = self;
Forgot to remove the layer portion line

SKStoreProductViewController not working on iPad iOS 8

I'm using SKStoreProductViewController on iPad with iOS 8. Pressing a button opens an instance of it:
[self.storeProductViewController loadProductWithParameters:#{SKStoreProductParameterITunesItemIdentifier:appStoreIdNumber}
completionBlock:^(BOOL result, NSError *error) {...}];
[[self getPresentingViewController] presentViewController:self.storeProductViewController animated:YES completion:^{...}];
It pops up the first time fine. But after it is dismissed, pressing the button again to reopen it throws an exception and the pop up never appears.
<SKRemoteProductViewController: 0x15c1ec00> timed out waiting for fence barrier from com.apple.ios.StoreKitUIService
Anyone know what's going on or how to work around it?
I've also had some other problems with UIAppearance and StoreKit not working together (see StoreKit's SKStoreProductViewController leaving space between the nav bar and the view?)
I was having the same problem that you now have and removing all UIAppearance code fixed it, but I noticed that the SKStoreProductViewController won't load any iPad apps on an iPhone on iOS 8 and it will fail silently. Let me know if you have the same problem.
I had the same problem, where the first time I present the SKRemoteProductViewController it works fine, but subsequent presentations give the error as the OP described. Apparently the problem is related to presenting the same SKRemoteProductViewController more than once. If I dispose of the SKRemoteProductViewController after presenting it and then re-load another one each time I want it to present again then things work without issue.
Had this problem as well. Make sure that identifier is actually an NSString
#{ SKStoreProductParameterITunesItemIdentifier : identifier }
I was inadvertently passing an NSURL object, which resulted in the same error -- "timed out waiting for fence barrier from com.apple.ios.StoreKitUIService"
you should present SKStoreProductViewController before loading it

An object is being double deallocated unintentionally?

I have a tab bar application where in one tab bar, there are 7 separate UISwitch instances. When I run the application and go to the tab bar with the switches, I then call
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
Then I call
[self presentModalViewController:myController animated:YES completion:nil];
When I return to the same tab bar with the 7 UISwitches and I touch one of them, changing the state, the app crashes. So I enabled NSZombie objects and ran the app again and this time when it crashed, it gave the error message
[UICGColor retain]: message sent to deallocated instance 0x9ace8a0
This means that the object was double deallocated, and I obviously didn't try doing this. So, I did some research and found that I could find the line(s) of code that cause it to double deallocate by profiling the app with an NSZombie template, using the Xcode built-in instruments. I then intentionally caused the app to crash, and the I received this.
I can clearly see that my ChessTimer library is releasing the object one too many times, causing it to double deallocate. So, I next looked at the exact line(s) of code that are doing this and found this
I can see the lines of code now that are directly causing the problem. When I remove them, the app runs fine. The problem, however, is that these lines of code are an important design element in my app that I must keep. I don't even know why these lines of code are causing the app to deallocate that object again. How can I either neutralize this deallocation or find another workaround? All help is appreciated.

UINavigationBar back button crashing the app?

When I run my app in simulator everything is fine, but when I run in device it is crashing.
Reason is I am pushing one xib from my storyboard and it's working well but when I press the back button it is crashing and [myxib class name method] message sent to deallocated instance 0x1fc65600. But in simulator it's fine, is that due to memory leak?
It is pointing to:
0x311ad468 trap <--- Thread1:EXC_BREAKPOINT (code =EXC_ARM_BREAKPOINT ,subcode=0xdefe))
[self.navigationcontroller pushviewcontroller:obj animated:YES];
I solved it,first thing is iam retrieving some values in previous class from someother class,so when iam out of focus that value transaction is throwing exception,so what i done is i disable the back button for some seconds
