Exception: 'NSRangeException', reason: '* -[NSCFString substringWithRange:]: Range or index out of bounds'.

- (void)textViewDidChangeSelection:(UITextView *)textView {

NSRange range = [tv selectedRange];
str = [tv.text substringWithRange:range];
}

I've checked your example. Sometimes you retrieve an undefined range like (2147483647, 0). So, check it to avoid crashes:

- (void)textViewDidChangeSelection:(UITextView *)textView {
    NSRange range = [textView selectedRange];
    if(range.length == 0 || range.location > textView.text.length)
        return;

    NSString *str = [textView.text substringWithRange:range];
}
