EXC_BAD_ACCESS signal received

Question

When deploying the application to the device, the program will quit after a few cycles with the following error:

Program received signal: \"EXC_BAD_ACCESS\".         


        

Answer 1

Another method for catching EXC_BAD_ACCESS exceptions before they happen is the static analyzer, in XCode 4+.

Run the static analyzer with Product > Analyze (shift+cmd+B). Clicking on any messages generated by the analyzer will overlay a diagram on your source showing the sequence of retains/releases of the offending object.
