iOS7 crashing - [__NSPlaceholderDictionary initWithObjects

Question

Going through my iOS6 app and trying to fix everything for iOS7. Throughout my app I'm getting the error:

-[__NSPlaceholderDictionary initWithObjects:forKeys:count:]: attempt to insert nil object from objects[0]

Here is the stack trace from this code:

NSString *shareString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"I ... %@", self.booking.venue.name];
NSArray *activityItems = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:shareString, nil];
UIActivityViewController *activityViewController = [[UIActivityViewController alloc]     initWithActivityItems:activityItems applicationActivities:nil];
[self presentViewController:activityViewController animated:YES completion:nil];

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** -[__NSPlaceholderDictionary initWithObjects:forKeys:count:]: attempt to insert nil object from objects[0]'

libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException

This code still works perfectly on iOS6, and I don't see anything wrong with it. It occurs when clicking a UIButton, this also occurs when clicking Card.io to allow users to enter card information. Prior to building my app on iOS7 but running the iOS6 app on iOS7 betas I still recieved this error but in more places. Now that I built it for iOS7 a few of the places cleared up themselves but these ones still remain. Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is all that remains prior to submitting for iOS7.

Report this as a bug to Apple: bugreport.apple.com. Unless there's something very wrong with your usage of layout constraints, it's a bug in Apple's code.
