“Thread 6 com.apple.NSURLConnectionLoader: Program received signal: EXC_BAD_ACCESS”

Question

The app crashes about 15 seconds after launching and XCode just breaks at an address and gives me a pop up that says \"Thread 6 com.apple.NSURLConnectionLoader: Program rece

Answer 1

Set NSZombieEnabled, MallocStackLogging, and guard malloc in the debugger. Then, when your App crashes, type this in the gdb console:

(gdb) info malloc-history 0x543216

Replace 0x543216 with the address of the object that caused the crash, and you will get a much more useful stack trace and it should help you pinpoint the exact line in your code that is causing the problem.
