EXC_BAD_ACCESS on UIAlertview code=1

Question

I am getting the EXC_BAD_ACCESS on [alert show] line.

Why I am getting this?

 alert = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:@"Application Alert" message:@"all date popup" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:@"Update",nil];

 [alert show]; //EXC_BAD_ACCESS on this line

I am calling it in main thread. Prototype of alert is UIAlertView. — swati sharma, Nov 01 '12 at 11:47
@Foram Mukund Shah It's a little weird when you say `main thread gets finish`, what did you mean ? — A-Live, Nov 01 '12 at 11:48
by main thread I don't mean the background thread. By that I meant the thread from which alertview is invoking — Niru Mukund Shah, Nov 01 '12 at 12:13

This crash must be on iOS 6. Solution for this crash is as follow :

[alert performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(show) withObject:nil waitUntilDone:YES];

This is the correct solution if it errs because you are calling `[alert show]` from the background. – Hlung Feb 10 '13 at 08:37

Just make delegate nil ,don't apply self to delegate .code it like below

alert = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:@"Application Alert" message:@"all date popup" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:@"Update",nil];

[alert show];

if you are using self in delegate then you will have to use alert delegate method

- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex

then it will not give EXC_Bad_Excess.let me know if it works..!!!!happy coding....
