EXE BAD ACCESS in line 14 in main.m after I type randomly when program launches?

Question

I got this weird crash EXE_BAD_ACCESS error when I typed randomly by keyboard in freshly new View Based Application project in Xcode 4.1 and iOS SDK 4.3. When I press run after I created a View Based Application Project, a blank screen with come. And when I start to press keys from keyboard two to five letters ,it crashes on main.m file line no. 14.

9  #import "UIKit/UIKit.h"
10 
11 int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
12    
13    NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
14    int retVal = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, nil);
15    [pool release];
16    return retVal;
17  }

Please help, I want to know what's going on. Any links, related posts would be helpful.

Thanks.

Actually I found out this crash when i used UITextField in a View based application for testing purpose. When I type in UITextField, it crashes with EXE_BAD_ACCESS. But now it seems, it occurs on any applications running in Xcode 4.1 :( – Faceharden

Here is a question that also deals with an error on line 14: [#3163392 Translation: Line 14 is not helpful unless you post your code. ;-) – Chitterlings

Thanks Richard for point out about my code. It is normal iPhone's main .m code that usually is the same. – Faceharden

Enable NSZombieEnabled and try again. – Sphincter

Hey Jano, thanks for responding. I did try using NSZombieEnabled to YES but it didn't helped. I think its bug with Xcode4.1. If you guys have xcode4.1 with iOS4.3 SDK, please try above steps, I guess you will have above error. Any other tips? – Faceharden

Your code is not crashing on line 14 of main.m. That is the bottom of your call stack. Your code is crashing in the function at the top of your call stack. – Set

Hey Adam, would u please tell me more about "Bottom" and "top" of the call stack. Thanks for replying. – Faceharden

Answer 1

See this thread. It is of course a bug with Xcode 4.1 build: 4B103. https://github.com/futuretap/InAppSettingsKit/issues/75#issuecomment-2343312
