EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) - KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS

Question

I have uploaded the app and it get rejected saying

We found that your app crashed on iPad running iOS 7, which is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.

Well the time when I uploaded, iOS7 was not launched.

The crash report says

Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Subtype: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0xb1b1f20b

In crash we see MapKit 0x30ca46a6 -[MKMapView mapViewDidFinishLoadingTiles:].

Is MapKit is giving problem?

For mapkit, below is what I have

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    self.title = @"Location";
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
    CLLocationCoordinate2D cords = {29.32511601390379, 48.08847418705136};
    MKCoordinateSpan span = {0.008400,0.008400};
    region = (MKCoordinateRegion) {cords,span};
    mapView.showsUserLocation = YES;
    [mapView setRegion:region animated:YES];
    [mapView setDelegate:self];

    DisplayMap *ann = [[DisplayMap alloc] init];
    ann.coordinate = region.center;
    [mapView addAnnotation:ann];
}

Also I don't have dealloc in mapkitviewcontroller. Is that fine? I am asking as this error is related to memory management.

My App was having 5 tabs. First 4 tabs are just UIWebView. For webview, I found that I didn't put webview in dealloc. Below is what I had in webview,

- (void)dealloc {
    [super dealloc];
}

Right now I don't have iOS 7 on my xcode too. I need to download that, but thought to ask before here.

Note: All is working perfectly with iOS 6.

Any guesses why I am getting this error?

Answer 1

Did set the map view delegate to nil before navigating away from the page. Also I think there is some memory management issue with IOS maps. So It is better to release maps in the dealloc method.
