Thank you in advance for any help/insight you can give into the issue I am having. Just recently my iOS app began to fail with the dreaded EXC_BAD_ACCESS error. I did a lot of research on SO and Google and received some great advice, but none of the posts have helped me to resolve my issue. By now, I understand that EXC_BAD_ACCESS could be one of two things:
1) A pointer is now pointing to memory that was deallocated.
2) A pointer itself is corrupt.
I read and followed the instructions here, here, here, and here. When I perform "Build and Run" I can reproduce the exc_bad_access 100% of the time. However, when I enabled NSZombie in either the debugger or in Instruments, I never can reproduce the issue. Furthermore, NSZombie does not leave any helpful information in the console.
The closest I got to pinpointing the issue was by literally putting an NSLog after every single line of code, in order to see where it was crashing. I believe that it is crashing at two distinct points - both of which are returning a cell in the cellForRowAtIndexPath. Below I'm providing the two methods where I believe things are crashing, as well as the error output on my console. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
The offending method:
