Since I've installed the last xCode (my previous one was the 3.xx), a have hard times to debug my crashing apps. Indeed, the callstack is often empty. And the displayed method is
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
int retVal = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, #"MyAppDelegate");
[pool drain];
return retVal;
}
Ex :
Have anyone noticed this ? It was working perfectly on the same project with previous XCode. Is there any solution ?
Try setting Exception Breakpoint on Breakpoint panel:
Notice that you can change the number of items displayed in the stack frames view by dragging the slider at the bottom of the view.

Xcode Instruments is saying that I have a CGColor Leak.
Responsible Library: CoreGraphics
Responsible Frame: CGTypeCreateInstance
The stack is tracing it back to "Main" and the code below is highlighted as the error.
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
#autoreleasepool {
return UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, NSStringFromClass([PDCAppDelegate class]));
}
}
Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you all!
Likely, your PDCAppDelegate, or something it owns, is creating a CGColorRef and failing to release it.
I have a problem with debugging my xcode project.
When my app crashes i get an unreadable stacktrace like this:
2011-10-25 10:03:29.966 fruehstueck[2541:707] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** -[__NSArrayM insertObject:atIndex:]: object cannot be nil'
*** First throw call stack:

The Code itself doesn't stop in my sourcecode but in line "int retVal = ..." with an SIGBART signal received.
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
int retVal = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, nil);
[pool release];
return retVal;
}
Can somebody please tell me if i can get back my used stacktrace, where at least I can look up in which line my app crashed?
Thx in advance,
Maverick
Its fairly simple:
-[__NSArrayM insertObject:atIndex:]: object cannot be nil
If you want to track it down and you know the steps, it would not take too long to guess which "insertObject" call is being given a nil pointer.
For getting proper stack-trace, have you tried cleaning the build? Also, try with breakpoints on. (and make sure you are not using a beta version of XCode).
You’re not assigning an app delegate to UIApplicationMain. Is this deliberate?
If not, and if you’re using Xcode 4.2 and iOS5 SDK your main must look like:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
#autoreleasepool {
return UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, NSStringFromClass([AppDelegate class]));
}
}
From what I've seen you can't actually symbolicate the call stack anymore, but you can work around the issue. Check out this answer if you don't mind changing your application code or use the graphical call stack in the Xcode window's Debug Navigator.
I've just began to learn iOS development and now I have a sigabrt on my main function. The error is triggered by calling:
int retVal = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, nil);
As I am very new to iOS programming I have no idea on what could by causing this error. One thing that I have found on my callstack is the following exception being raised: dyld_stub_objc_exception_throw
What could be causing this error?
I was having this problem in X-Code 4.2 and the issue was it couldn't find my Storyboard. The frustrating part was that there was no indication of what the actual exception was. I was able to get the exception in the log by adding a try / catch to my main function. (Note I'm using ARC, so if you aren't using ARC your main will look a little different with try catch)
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int retVal = 0;
#autoreleasepool {
NSString *classString = NSStringFromClass([sortaAppDelegate class]);
#try {
retVal = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, classString);
}
#catch (NSException *exception) {
NSLog(#"Exception - %#",[exception description]);
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
}
return retVal;
}
UIApplicationMain basically kicks off the rest of your application, so the actual cause of the crash could be anywhere in your application. You may need to look further down the call stack.
However, I note that you're passing nil as the final two parameters. The first nil is the principalClassName argument, which can legally be nil if you want UIApplication to be the principal class. The second nil is the application delegate name; you should pass nil if you load the delegate from the main nib. Do you? If you don't, that might be the problem (I can't say I've ever called this function with both of those arguments nil).
It was just a typical error of someone learning a new language/API. I forgot to properly set up the view.
UIView *controllersView = [myViewController view];
[window addSubview:controllersView];
I have an iphone app project. I analysed it using instruments memory leak tool. According to instruments I have 2 leaks the Trace is as follows:
start main UIAplicationMain _run CFRunLoopInMode CFRunLoopRunSpecific PurpleEventCallback _UIAplicationHandleEvent sendEvent: handleEvent:withNewEvent:
After this trace there are two separate traces. What causes this and how can I fix it?
edit:
The leak is on the second line according to instruments
NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
int retVal = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, nil); //leak
[pool release];
return retVal;
Are you missing a NSAutoReleasePool for the threads?
That second method looks like some sort of callback being invoked by another component or system thread.
In the implementation, create a NSAutoReleasePool at the top and release it when the method is done:
void MyCallback {
NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
// do stuff
[pool release];
}
It might be a false positive. UIApplicationMain probably creates a few objects that are intended to hang around for as long as the application exists and therefore never bothers to release them.
How can i catch sigpipe in iphone/objective-c?
thanks
One important fact for testing the SigPipeHandler:
For me it did not work when the debugger was atached. So when running an app directly from XCode the Handler is not called.
Meanwhile, on a device without the debugger attached the handler works as expected.
Use old good POSIX code:
#include <signal.h>
void SigPipeHandler(int s);
void SigPipeHandler(int s)
{
// do your handling
}
Init in some place (main.m?) with
signal(SIGPIPE, SigPipeHandler);
Try setting SO_NOSIGPIPE as documented here:
How to prevent SIGPIPEs (or handle them properly)
The first answer doesn't work.
Also I'm trying to use solution described in reference of second post:
int main(int argc, char *argv[ ]) {
struct sigaction mySigAction;
mySigAction.sa_handler = SIG_IGN;
sigemptyset(&mySigAction.sa_mask);
sigaction(SIGPIPE, &mySigAction, NULL);
...
}
but this code doesn't work too. Anybody know solution of this problem?
The first answer works fine. but you should put every thing in the main.mm file.
And in static class(Singleton) , it also works.
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <sys/signal.h>
#if TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR
#endif
void SigPipeHandler(int s)
{
NSLog(#"We Got a Pipe Single :%d____________",s);
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
signal(SIGPIPE, SigPipeHandler);
int retVal = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, #"FullAppDelegate");
[pool release];
return retVal;
}
