help with the following crashDump

0

If this is not the right forum to ask such question, please point me to the right one.

The app I am working on uses the location of the user and alert the user when certain condition is met. The alert is in form of vibration and a playback of a small file. During testing on the device, the phone vibrates and the audio clip plays for 2 seconds (the clip is about 9 secs long) and the app crashes. The crashes are consistent on the device. On the simulator, occasionally, I see the crashes but not consistent.

The trigger to set off the alert is in the delegate method of CLLocation class - (void)locationManager:manager didUpdateToLocation:fromLocation:

Here's the code fragment (ivLocMgr is an instance variable)

if ((!ivAlertAlreadyShown)  && (<test for trigger condition)) {
   ivAlertAlreadyShown = YES;

   [self obviousNotification];

   [ivLocMgr stopUpdatingLocation];
   [ivLocMgr release], ivLocMgr = nil;
   }

Can the [ivLocMgr stopUpdatingLocation]; be the root cause?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated. -S-

Found the answer on Apple Developers' Forum:

  I needed to set the coreLocation instance's delegate to nil, when the alarm was triggered.

There isn't enough code there to properly determine the cause of the abort. The error you are getting is telling you that you are trying to access a variable that has already been released. I would start there and make sure you haven't released your location manager or some other variable there.
