Firstly i have experienced AUTO LAYOUT issues in StoryBorad.When i have resolved these issues now two new errors are occurring. Please let me know if any one have any idea about these errors.
Errors are giving below:
: CGContextAddPath: invalid context 0x0. This is a serious error. This application, or a library it uses, is using an invalid context and is thereby contributing to an overall degradation of system stability and reliability. This notice is a courtesy: please fix this problem. It will become a fatal error in an upcoming update.
: clip: invalid context 0x0. This is a serious error. This application, or a library it uses, is using an invalid context and is thereby contributing to an overall degradation of system stability and reliability. This notice is a courtesy: please fix this problem. It will become a fatal error in an upcoming update.

The page fault in memory may have been raised due to a lot of reasons. In what way is the OS figuring out the type of page fault occurred? This is necessary because different types of page faults needs to be treated differently.
i am working on iphone app, at once it started showing me error, with no exception, i am really afraid of this error, can any one tell me why this is happening?

Issue exists in iOS 7. It´s a known issue on which Apple is working on. Should be fixed in the next beta release.
I'm updating my application to iOS 7 and I've run into some problems. I'm making a calculator and it isn't functioning the way I wanted it to be. I got it working in my iOS 6 version but not in 7. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the message below. There are multiple messages identical to this one for different classes.

These messages were related to a bug in Xcode during the beta period. Please make sure you upgrade to the latest production version of Xocde (5.0.1). I do not believe this is linked to your development issues.
I recently upgraded an application from .net 3.5 to 4.0. Since I did that, with debug settings to break on all exceptions enabled, I've been getting a few of these exceptions each time I start a section of the application that connects to a database using the EF. The exact number is variable; sometimes I only get one, others several in rapid succession.
ReleaseHandleFailed was detected Message: A SafeHandle or
CriticalHandle of type
'Microsoft.Win32.SafeHandles.SafeCapiHashHandle' failed to properly
release the handle with value 0x06AD3D08. This usually indicates that
the handle was released incorrectly via another means (such as
extracting the handle using DangerousGetHandle and closing it directly
or building another SafeHandle around it.)
I never got exceptions like this when targeting 3.5. These exceptions don't have any meaningful call stack attached, all I get is [External Code], denying any easy way to localize where they're coming from. The reason I suspect EntityFramework is somehow involved is that one section of the app uses nHiberate instead doesn't generate any of these messages.
To run down other dependencies that might be involved: In all cases, the ORM is talking to an Sql Compact database MS Sync Framework 2.1 is being used to update the local DB from SqlServer. The Entity framework models have been regenerated with the 4.0 framework, and I upgraded the cache DB to v4.0 as well.
Since there's no call stack I'm not sure if these messages fall into the category of "harmless" errors automatically cleaned up internal to the framework; or if there's an exception eater catching them elsewhere in the application.
This is not an exception, it is a Managed Debugging Assistant warning. You might have gone over-board a bit when you changed the settings to "break on all exceptions enabled". Debug + Exceptions, Managed Debugging Assistants node, untick the "ReleaseHandleFailed" warning. It is off by default.
The MDA catches an old bug that's gone undetected for a while in the AesCryptoServiceProvider class. Backgrounder is here.
Judging from your comment, you are about to make a drastic mistake. You do not solve this by avoiding encryption or compromising your dbase connection security. You accidentally turned on an MDA that's normally off. MDAs in general tend to produce false warnings and many of them are turned off by default. The warning is in fact bogus, releasing the handle failed because it was already released. This happens in the finalizer thread, that's why you don't get a stack trace. And thus can't easily find out what code uses the class in the first place.
The proper way to fix it is to use the Debug + Exceptions dialog properly. Fix the problem you created by clicking the Reset All button. Then click only the Thrown checkbox for Common Language Runtime exceptions. That's what you are trying to debug.
I'm running into lots of instances with the latest version(s) of XCode (I believe this has been happening since 4.2 or so) where the stack trace when an exception is thrown is woefully devoid of details.
The screeshot here illustrates one such case; in fact, this scenario at least has SOME context (it shows me that it happened in the JKArray class), where many times I get nothing but "internal" stack items (just 2-3 entries in the thread, none of which reside in user code or anything I can look at). Even in this example, I don't know where the JKArray was allocated or released, so I have no idea what instance or where the problem is.
Thoughts:
I've tried adding a generic "on exception" breakpoint
There is some minor information available in the output; in this case: " malloc: * error for object 0x10e18120: pointer being freed was not allocated * set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug". Doing this doesn't get me any further, though, since the breakpoint gets hit in the same stack as the exception...
I've tried switching to the other debugger
I've tried using my own custom exception handler
I've tried using the Profiler to look for leaks. There are no leaks that I can find.
No matter what I do, I can't seem to isolate the issues plaguing my app. Furthermore, the issues do not seem to be exactly the same each time, likely due to the high amount of concurrency in my app... so I'm left without a good way to fix the problems.
Edit: in the case of this particular exception, I did end up finding the cause. I had attempted to [release] and object that was [autoreleased]d. However, all of this was happening within my code; I can't understand why XCode would not give me a decent stack trace to help me find the problem, rather than forcing me to hunt through my whole app...
Sometimes it is impossible to pinpoint the real problem, because the issue that causes the symptom has happened much earlier.
Your issue provides a great example: when you release your object, cocoa has no idea that you've done anything wrong: you are releasing an object that you own, this is precisely what you should be doing, so there's no red flags. The code that leads to a breakdown is executed well after your method has finished, and gave the control back to the run loop. It is at this point that the run loop gets around to draining its autorelease pool, causing the second deallocation. All it knows at this point, however, is that the run loop has made an invalid deallocation, not your code. By the time the error happens the culprit is safely off the stack (and off the hook), so there is nothing else Xcode can report back to you.
A solution to problems like this is to profile your memory use: the profiler should catch issues like that, and pinpoint the places where they happen.
It goes without saying that switching to automatic reference counting will save you lots of troubles in the memory management department.
