Answer 1

The __NSThreadPerformPerform line is the clue here. Put a break point on all your performSelector calls, especially the ones that are performSelectorInBackground. Most likely you are calling a selector that does not exist on the object you think you have.

thanks for your advice! i figured out the problem. one phone had a corrupted address book entry that broke my application. that's why this was only occurring on one device and not the other dozen that i'm testing with. – Cutworm

Just for completeness sake, the stack trace also shows that an exception was thrown. I future you could check the console output to see what the exception was. – Coccidioidomycosis

@jasarien if this is happening in a production environment there is no console. Will those console messages get logged anywhere else? – Tad

There is a console in production, it is simply a log file and can be retrieved. Check my UALogger tool for more info: github.com/UrbanApps/UALogger – Reversioner
