Assertions are statements which only evaluate when you are running in debug mode (Cheap debug checking).

For instance, this would fail assertion in debug, but would not cause an error in release:

ASSERT(1 == 2);

It's likely that some method you are calling expects a certain input and isn't getting it, but it doesn't cause an immediate error (So your code works in non-debug mode.)

Hopefully that's helpful.

If you can post your specific code, someone can probably help you with a more specific response.
