UISplitViewController EXC_BAD_ACCESS on rotation using ARC

Question

I am using a UISplitViewController on ARC but it seems to be crashing after a few rotation events:

Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x80069f69
Crashed Thread:  0

Also, when I start up the app, I get this error:

Splitview controller <PUCSplitViewController: 0x36c290> is expected to have a master view controller before its used!

What I have a missed? I set it up very similar to the example project that Apple provided.

Also crashing sometimes when switching the detail view:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    // Clicked Asset
    Asset *asset = [items objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

    UIViewController *detailViewController = nil;

    // See what asset we are on
    if ([asset.title isEqualToString:@"News"]) {
        News2 *news = [[News2 alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
        UINavigationController *newsNav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:news];
        detailViewController = newsNav;
    } else if ([asset.title isEqualToString:@"Photos"]) {
        PhotosiPad *photos = [[PhotosiPad alloc] init];
        UINavigationController *photosNav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:photos];
        detailViewController = photosNav;
    }

    // Update the split view
    [PUCAppDelegate instance].mainSplitViewController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:self.navigationController, detailViewController, nil];

    // Dismiss the popover if it's present.
    if (popoverController != nil) {
        [popoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
    }

}//end

Here is how I create the UISplitViewController in applicationDidFinishLoading:

PUCSplitViewController *splitPUC = [[PUCSplitViewController alloc] init];
self.mainSplitViewController = splitPUC;
[self.window addSubview:self.mainSplitViewController.view];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];

Ideas?

Answer 1

for the

is expected to have a master view controller before its used!

error,

you need to set the delegate AFTER you set the view controllers for the splitviewcontroller.
