I just don't understand why it was working until 5 minutes ago testing it on the same thing and now it's not working anymore. What can I do to solve this problem? The application works fine on the simulator.
Your string cString = null..
Fill it.
Where do you get the string? One of the more common reasons for "works on Simulator but not device" is that you are reading from a file and use the wrong case -- device has case-sensitive file systems, but Macs have case-insensitive (typically).
The reason why it didn't work on the device is because I modified the database and for some reason the one on the device was the wrong one which obviously was incompatible with the new code. After I deleted the application from the Ipod and then ran it again it worked just fine.
The reason why I had that specific error is because some variables that were holding database columns were empty.

I can't get my app to run now on certain devices.
int retVal = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, #"AppController"); <---SIGABRT
In the console I get...

I have no idea what BAPushCenter is, I did a project search and can't find it anywhere. I used an exception breakpoint but it didn't show me any more information then original error.
Update: After testing more devices the error only seems to occur on iOS 9 devices. But iOS 9 simulator devices and any other device below iOS 9 work fine. Any ideas?
In my case, because of the "Batch Framework" my app crashes
Figured it out. The class was coming from one of my static libs so i wasn't able to search it. When I figured out what lib was causing the issues I completely removed it from my app and it compiled fine. Once I get an updated version of that lib I'll put it back in my app, thanks.
I ran into a problem which I seem to can't fix.
Whenever I try to run my app (XCode 7 BETA 2) on my device (iOS 9 BETA 2) it crashes at AppDelegate with the following error:

When I try to run it on the Simulator everything is fine. The App itself is a recode of my current project in Swift 2.0 with some pods (for the first time).
It includes 3 libs and some basic UI stuff, I tried to setup the first TabController tab.
Someone has an idea of how to fix them?
Everything Is working now. One library I'm using, tried to load a Font which wasn't available on my iPhone but on my Simulator (?).
Thanks for all the help, Breakpoint and stepping through the Library code did the trick!
I have a Ruby on Rails application that has an API, it's an OAuth 2.0 provider and uses Doorkeeper. I am creating an iPhone client for that application and am using the gtm-oauth2 library for authentication. Here is the Github repository for the iPhone app.
I manage do the authentication request using the library and get the response from the OAuth server, but (I think that) when the iPhone app receives the response, the iPhone app crashes. I get the following error:

I am a complete noob/beginner when it comes to iOS development and Objective-C programming, and I am learning how to create my first app using this little project. I asked the same question in the gtm-oaut2 Google Group and according to them, the problem comes from my code and not the library. The problem is that all of my code is taken from their wiki and I can't pinpoint where the app crashes. If I understand correctly, at some point I am calling length of NSNull, but I am not calling length anywhere, hence my confusion. Also, when the app crashes, the line hilighted is in the main.m file and the error (on the right label, not in the output) is the following:
Thread 1: signal SIGABRT
I have no clue what that means...
Does anyone know what the problem might be please?
You're right that the issue is that somewhere you've got the length message being sent to an instance of NSNull. To pinpoint where exactly this is happening set a breakpoint on objc_exception_throw. You can do this in the Xcode UI with little "+" button in the bottom left corner on the breakpoints tab. Select "Add Exception breakpoint." Then the debugger will stop your program at the point where the error occurs instead of waiting for the program to actually crash.
Well... you understood the error correctly.. You are somewhere calling length on a NSNull instance.
I must find out where this is happening.
I think this is happening in a JSON response. Maybe you (or "the code") is calling length on something it expects its a NSString but it is instead NSNull (that is the json has a NULL value).
Try if you manage to print the json response and see if you found a key mapped to a null value...
NSNull does not respond to length
You can check the documentation for NSNull to see that this is the case.
Without having an idea of what your code base is doing I am not sure where to look, you must be calling [NSNull null]; at some point to get the NSNull object or you are using a framework somewhere that returns this.
I have a block that fires once my image is downloaded. the data coming in from the block is the image. I'm not sure why I'm getting a SIGABRT though. This works fine on the first load, but when I come back to this same spot I always crash out the second time.
Everything you would want to see should be in the bottom left and printed out on the bottom right in the following order: data, ptr, ptr->imageImg
** EDIT **
I forgot to add the stack dump as well

You're calling length on UIImage, but UIImage doesn't have a method called length.
After hours of trying not to pull my hair out, I finally figured it out.
the situation
I have a caching system to cache a file on download and then send the stored version back to my callback. For some reason I was trying to save to a filepath that had a question mark (and other symbols) in it which apparently would NOT let ios save the file to the device *note xcode nor the device ever warned me that the file wasn't be saved either. However the record keeping system was showing that everything was working fine which meant the data sent back was empty NSData.
the solution
I made sure that my filepath had NO symbols in it when saving offline data and viola.
After upgrading to XCode4 (v. 4.2, 4D199) it seems every time my apps crash while debugging, the debugging points to main(), and the stack is unsymbolicated and useless.
This has been working fine for years, I have no idea what has gone wrong.
I'm using GDB. I also tried the LLDB as per this advice, and it didn't work either (similar, useless stack).
My breakpoints work, I get the full stack, and can inspect variables when my code hits those.
Steps to reproduce:
NB. this happens with my own project, but I'll use Apple's code here to remove that variable from the equation
Download the following sample from Apple: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#samplecode/UICatalog/Introduction/Intro.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40007710
In the ImagesViewController class, add the following code to the viewDidLoad method (so it will crash – we want it to crash for this test):
// please note: this code is designed to crash! I want it to crash, to highlight my issue with XCode.
NSMutableArray* test = [NSMutableArray new];
[test insertObject:NULL atIndex:0];
Then run the app & hit the 'Images' row.
It crashes with a message like:

Thanks to brigadir for pointing me to the solution!
It works well. Here's some screenshots for how to solve this for anyone finding my question:
Tap the plus button of the breakpoints tab
Then click Done
