Deciphering a Crash Report - iOS - xCode
I am trying to replicate a bug in my app which is happening for users occasionally. I have the below crash report. Am I right in thinking the app is crashing due to an NSDictionary not having a value for a specific key ? And is there anything else I can deduce from the report ?

The crash happens in the file WebViewJavascriptBridge.m in line 95 in the method [WebViewJavascriptBridge _sendData:responseCallback:handlerName:].
That line causes an exception in [__NSPlaceholderDictionary initWithObjects:forKeys:count:]. Since the exception message isn't shown in the crash report, and you don't provide any source code of that place we can only assume what is happening.
One assumption would be, your are creating a dictionary with nil values or keys. But without code or you actually debugging this, this is only an assumption.
