iOS 5 UIWebview Delegate: WebKit discarded an uncaught exception in the webView:decidePolicyForNavigationAction

Question

I am using the delegate method shouldStartLoadWithRequest to catch link clicks and handle specific cases inside my app instead of allowing the webView

Answer 1

Check out if you nullify delegate property of UIWebView in its controller dealloc method (of course if this controller is webview's delegate). Like this:

- (void) viewDidLoad
{
    webView.delegate = self;
}
- (void) dealloc
{
    webView.delegate = nil;
}

From the Apple docs on the delegate property:

Important. Before releasing an instance of UIWebView for which you have set a delegate, you must first set its delegate property to nil. This can be done, for example, in your dealloc method.
