My autorelease pool is crashing my app at random, what is the common cause of this problem?

I know this is because an object is being over released, am i correct in thinking an object is being released before the autorelease pool is trying to release it. Therefore the autorelease pool attempts to over release an object?
Your assessment is correct. Try running your app using the "Zombies" instrument in the simulator, or setting the NSZombieEnabled environmental variable to YES. These will both give you more information about what objects are being overreleased.
This will be because of extra memory releases. Do not release the object which is being allocated inside auto-release pool and is inited from object which has its own memory. This may the one reason behind this as i also faced this problem.

This is the error log. Would anyone know why this is or how i could debug errors such as this since running thruogh an instrument doesnt hep
You possibly have released an object and subsequently try to access that object in your webView:decidePolicyForNavigationAction delegate method.
Enable "Zombie" detection in your debug build settings:
How do I set up NSZombieEnabled in Xcode 4?
This will help you identify if an object is not being properly retained.
I have the following crash that I can't replicate on demand but does happen enough to get noticed by the users.
This crash report has been symbolicated as well. How would you find out the cause!!! This only seems to happen on 4.1

Now all of my addObservers are block based so I can't see why it would lead to an unrecognised selector.
This way won't help us much while Debugging crash. I found one of the best way to Debug the code for Crash. Follow the link for debugging technique:
https://cocoadev.com/DebuggingAutorelease.html
You need to analyze your Console very carefully to see actually why the Crash occurs. This helped me in almost all of the Code that are without ARC enabled.
Hullo,
I am experimenting a very vicious crash that shows up in the following way in the device logs:

After having enabled NSZombie I also have a crash on the compiler log of the following form:
2011-05-09 16:12:24.400 inArrivo[5019:707] * -[NSURLConnection releaseDelegate]: message sent to deallocated instance 0x5d61670
appearing on the app main with the last NSLog comeing from a function with no url connections. Also if I remove some pieces of very innocent code from that function, no crash occurs, and the same happens when I run the complete application on the simulator.
Could someone give me some hints about what I may do to locate the piece of code producing the crash? Normal debugging of course is of little help here.
Thanks,
Fabrizio Bartolomucci
The message indicates that the delegate for NSURLConnection was deallocated. I would suggest you check the delegate object to see if you are doing an extra release on it.
My app works great when I build and debug but when I run on its own, it crashes due to some other issues.
I have one NSObject class, one UITableView class, one UIView class , one UITableViewCell class and one NSOperation class.
Does any body have similar issues or if any one can help me out.

This technote has the technical info on crashlogs:
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#technotes/tn2004/tn2123.html
However, you are having a debugging problem, not a crashlog problem.
See tips for debugging here:
http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?DebuggingTechniques
Interpreting crash logs takes practice. People here see this: removeFromSuperview and immediately think "Aha, a clue! this is likely a memory issue" because removeFromSuperview will remove a view then decrement it's retain count. if the retain count is already zero, then decrementing one more time may lead to a crash. Thus, they think you are over releasing your UITableViewCell
check your UITableViewCell for alloc/init, release or autorelease...
My app crashes when I do [self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES].
It crashes more on Device than on Simulator. Please suggest how to fix this?

This usually means you are sending a message to a released object which is a bad idea.
From the stack you can see that it is sending a release message to an object. I'd suggest that the object has already been released and thus hasa retain count of 0. Therefore a further release would be invalid.
I believe if you turn on a flag, I think it's called Zombie detection or something like that, then any message to a released object will generate a more descriptive message.
Perhaps a more experienced developer can jump in here with more details.
Yes, I believe Derek is pointing you in the right direction. Could you possibly list what kind of memory-related operations you are performing on the active controller before sending this release message (the release message is being sent implicitly when you try to pop it out). Please clarify if you are using autorelease for this controller,etc... Also it might be helpful to see what are the associated properties that you may have associated with this controller (ex: #property(nonatomic, retain, etc...)) if there are any.
