Setting the text on a UILabel is crashing my app - iphone

Question

So I have setup my UILabel, but when I set the text in my game loop to a string that is the score (so the Text is reset every loop) my app crashes.
This is the error I get:
0x15560b0: cmpl (%eax), %ecx Thread 1
The Breakpoint says this:
EXC_BAD_ACCESS(code=1, address=0x67b30064
Here is how I am setting up my UILabel (in my init method) :
//SET UP THE SCORE LABEL HERE
scoreLabel = [[UILabel alloc] init];
scoreString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", score];
[scoreLabel setFont: [UIFont fontWithName: #"TimesNewRoman" size: 10.0f]];
[scoreLabel setFrame: CGRectMake(262, 250, 100, 40)];
[scoreLabel setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[scoreLabel setTextColor: [UIColor clearColor]];
[scoreLabel setTextColor: [UIColor whiteColor]];
scoreLabel.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(89.53);
[self addSubview: scoreLabel];
//[scoreLabel setText: scoreString];
Thank You!

Answer 1

Are you doing your label update off the main queue? I had these crashes until I dispatched the update on the main queue.
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
self.lblSyncProgress.text = #"Some string";
});

//in your .h file
UILabel *scoreLabel;
NSString *scoreString;
//in your .m file
//SET UP THE SCORE LABEL HERE
scoreLabel = [[UILabel alloc] init];
[scoreLabel setFont: [UIFont fontWithName: #"TimesNewRoman" size: 10.0f]];
[scoreLabel setFrame: CGRectMake(262, 250, 100, 40)];
[scoreLabel setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[scoreLabel setTextColor: [UIColor clearColor]];
[scoreLabel setTextColor: [UIColor whiteColor]];
scoreLabel.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(89.53);
[self addSubview: scoreLabel];
//In your update method
scoreString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", score];
scoreLabel.text = scoreString;

I noticed in your code that you had
scoreString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", score];
Make sure that "score" is a char. If it is not have a look at this
