I need help with a MKMapView crash - iphone

One of the most frequent crashes of my live app is a crash at MKMapView. It crash at the internal method -[MKMapView mapTileViewDidFinishLoading:]. During my test I could not retrace the crash but is very frequent in the crash reports on iTunes Connect. Has anyboday some experience with this crash? It is only a very simple map showing exactly one annotation.
Here is the complete stacktrace of this crash:
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x00000009

I think I may have fixed this issue in my own application. It appears that this post has the correct solution and explanation.
The message that was causing the failure in my application was 'mapViewDidFinishLoadingMap' which is a message of the MKMapViewDelegate. Try to set the mapView delegate to 'nil' before in your views dealloc method.

Just do this it will solve the problem 100%
-(void) viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
self.mapView.delegate = nil;
mapView=Nil;
NSLog(#"viewWillDisappear");
}

I also had to set the delegate to nil in viewDidDisappear to fix the issue.

iPad app crashes on launch

I have an app which seems to work fine in debug mode, but now it's live in the app store it crashes every time. I have managed to find a crash log, which shows the following:

Does anyone know what this means? I really need to submit an update for this app quickly so I need to fix it.
One great place to start is this link:
http://www.raywenderlich.com/23704/demystifying-ios-application-crash-logs
It will show you how to read your crash log.
For instance EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT) means:
The exception code is a SIGABRT. Usually, a SIGABRT exception is raised when an object receives an unimplemented message. Or to put it in simpler terms, there’s a call for a nonexistent method on an object.
This should give you a hint as to what the problem is. It's not in your code as you can see that your classes are not called in the list to the right.
I would also say that if it doesn't work in the app store you might make sure that it works for all languages on Ad-Hoc. Maybe something is missing from your storyboard?
Check the storyboard names. Make sure you have a main storyboard selected for ipad and that the name matches.

Adwhirl ASIHttpRequest Crashing iPhone

I am using AdWhirl in my iphone app and I am displaying the adView in several different views. Each view has a different adView ivar. Problem is that when I am switching the views quickly, ASIHttpRequest within Adwhirl code tries to call the view after the view has been deallocted. I have tried setting the delegate to nil in my view but to no avail. Are there any other workarounds to cancel the AdWhirl ASIHttpRequest when the view is deallocated. In my view dealloc I am doing something like:
adView.delegate = nil;
adView = nil
where adView is an ivar declared like:
#property (nonatomic, retain) AdWhirlView *adView;

I'm pretty sure AdWhirl doesn't use ASIHTTPRequest at all. Maybe a particular ad network you're using does, but the logs don't even seem to point to AdWhirl as the culprit.

I'm having trouble debugging it since it doesn't look like the crash was even caused by something in my app. Does anyone know what could cause a crash like this?
If we observe the crash log, we will notice that, it was expecting some object but it was already released.(see it was calling CFGetRetainCount on the needed object to acertain that object is still alive, but it is not). Also, if we notice the frameworks then it indicates that crash could be because of some view is released or something related to it.(as it says its crashing during animation.)

Thanks,
This might be able to help you out or at least get you started.
Debugging EXC_BAD_ACCESS Errors
Check your localization settings. Specifically, change your language settings to something other than English/your default language and see if you can reproduce the crash.

How to recognize errors from crash logs

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...

popViewControllerAnimated:YES crashes my app

My app crashes when I do [self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES].
It crashes more on Device than on Simulator. Please suggest how to fix this?

myviewcontroller = [[[MyViewController alloc]init]autorelease];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:myviewcontroller animated:YES];
[myviewcontroller release]; //This is my bug !!! I just fixed it.
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.
