UITableView crash gives 'CALayerInvalidGeometry', reason: 'CALayer position contains NaN: [160 nan]'

Question

I have a custom table view in my app. I have implemented the "Load More" feature to the table which loads 25 rows at a time. The problem is after loading 2 times the app crashes giving 'CALayerInvalidGeometry', reason: 'CALayer position contains NaN: [160 nan]' as error on OS 4.2 and above.

On OS below 4.2 one of the cell goes missing and there is blank space between in the middle of the table. It do not give any crash. But it still gives the error mentioned above.

I check to see where can the division by 0 can occur in my code but i couldnt find any. Following the stack trace i fond. So i cannot even check where this exception is happening.

Anybody have any idea ??

Answer 1

I had this same exact error because instead of writing

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { ... }

i wrote:

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { ... }

(notice the return value). Hope this helps somebody.
