UITextField crashes on touch

Question

Our ios application crashes when a UITextField with default type is touched. There is another uitextfield which is numpad and it works okay.

The crash only occurs on ios 5.0.1 and ios 4.x works okay.

The UITextField is created with interface builder and I didn't add any delegates for it.

The project was created on 4.0.2 and I also tested the same project on 4.2.

If I create a new project and just put a UITextField in it there is no problem.

Somehow something in my project causes the UITextField to crash and I don't have any idea how to debug it.

The crash log is like following:

Answer 1

Change "Product Name"

I had exactly same problem. I've solved it with changing "Product Name" property on build settings of target. Looks like having Non-USA characters, special characters like "ü, ğ, ç" etc. masses up your application.

I've absolutely no idea why this creates a problem such. But making product name something like "Ocu" instead of "Öcü" fixes it.

I found about this information on another question's answer and here is the link.
