iOS app crashing in Core Location callback machine

I have problems analyzing my crashlog. The iPhone crashes sometimes, when I click on the app icon to start the app. The app is already "running" in background, but it's not active. This is the symbolized crash log:

As far as i understand the stack trace, the error occurred in the main.m. Line 14 is part of the default code:

int retVal = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, nil);

Please give me a hint, how to find the error.
Thank you in advance!

回答1:

Do you set it's delegate to nil before returning from controller (or at least in controller's dealloc)? I suspect CLLocationManager is trying to send a message to delegate which is deallocated already - that's why it crashes at obj_msgSend.

回答2:

I had this same problem testing my app on 4.3, but not in 5.0. The issue was that I was trying to dealloc the CLLocationManager inside one of the delegate methods. It works fine in 5.0, but crashes a iPhone 3GS running 4.3 every time.

In the end I made the CLLocationManager object a property, then in the delegate method set the delegate to nil and dispatched a block to the main thread to release the object.
