How to detect total available/free disk space on the iPhone/iPad device?

I assume that clicking that "done" button would invoke cancelling the picker; in which case you can try did you try implementing the delegate method:
- (void)imagePickerControllerDidCancel:(UIImagePickerController *)picker {
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^(void) {
NSLog(@"Cancelled pick");
};
}
Also it looks like you're calling release
-- any reason you're not using ARC?
If I had to guess, I'd say perhaps the alert dismiss is in fact calling something like
[imagePicker.delegate imagePickerControllerDidCancel:imagePicker];
but it's already released so you're seeing this "lock-up" issue. Maybe step through in the debugger and make sure those objects still exist.
Edit:
While it doesn't solve your original issue, you could do a check for available space prior to launching the image picker, possibly with something like this so post suggests:
- (uint64_t)freeDiskspace
{
uint64_t totalSpace = 0;
uint64_t totalFreeSpace = 0;
__autoreleasing NSError *error = nil;
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSDictionary *dictionary = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] attributesOfFileSystemForPath:[paths lastObject] error: &error];
if (dictionary) {
NSNumber *fileSystemSizeInBytes = [dictionary objectForKey: NSFileSystemSize];
NSNumber *freeFileSystemSizeInBytes = [dictionary objectForKey:NSFileSystemFreeSize];
totalSpace = [fileSystemSizeInBytes unsignedLongLongValue];
totalFreeSpace = [freeFileSystemSizeInBytes unsignedLongLongValue];
NSLog(@"Memory Capacity of %llu MiB with %llu MiB Free memory available.", ((totalSpace/1024ll)/1024ll), ((totalFreeSpace/1024ll)/1024ll));
} else {
NSLog(@"Error Obtaining System Memory Info: Domain = %@, Code = %d", [error domain], [error code]);
}
return totalFreeSpace;
}

I already have that delegate method implemented. Clicking the done button doesn't call that delegate method.Its old app i have been working on never really made the switch to ARC – user1861763 Jan 14 '13 at 19:40

Did stepping through reveal any nil objects being accessed? – Miles Alden Jan 14 '13 at 20:06

I don't think its a memory management issue and i don't see any nil objects being accessed. – user1861763 Jan 14 '13 at 20:28

I was actually just looking into calculating the available disk space.Thank you for your help – user1861763 Jan 14 '13 at 20:29

Sure. I still find it odd though that I can't find any docs detailing how the system handles this situation. You'd think they'd document it *somewhere*. Oh well. :-) – Miles Alden Jan 14 '13 at 20:32
