UITableView crashing with comma and space in String of UITableViewCell

Question

If i have a string like "Help, Support and More" in an NSArray which is content of an UITableView it crashes on startup. If i remove the whitespace after "," there is no Problem.

Is there any solution for this?

This crashes:

cell.textLabel.text = @"Help, Support and More";

This works:

cell.textLabel.text = @"Help,Support and More";

Here is more code:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"cell";
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

    if (cell == nil) {
        cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
        //cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;
    }

    // Configure the cell.
    NSLog(@"%@", [[sportstypes objectAtIndex: [indexPath row]] title]);
    cell.textLabel.text = @"Tes t:, ,,,,,";
    //cell.textLabel.text = @"Blubber";

    return cell;
}

FIX: Xcode 4.6.2 app crashes on every second run Thanks to ice_2

Can you please provide us with the code ? On which line it is crashing? — Rajan Balana, Jun 06 '13 at 09:41
There is no error log or any error, only "Thread 1: signal SIGABRT" — mrequalizer, Jun 06 '13 at 09:50
I have tested your @"Help, Support and More" but no crash. also try removing the white space. can you show me the log of that crash? May be there is any special character not white space but you can not detect it. If you check the character of that white space will get that special character and will modify the code correctly. — Ashim, Jun 06 '13 at 09:55
I tried some more, every second run of the app with xcode crashes on start when the white space is present. I have no idea whats going on. — mrequalizer, Jun 06 '13 at 09:58

How many warnings are you ignoring? you said, you dont use ARC. your cell is leaking. and probably a lot more objects in your code. — vikingosegundo, Jun 06 '13 at 10:15

I think you are doing something wrong. Because your code is correct no problem in your code and second thing you can put any special character in double quot " ". It wont create any problem.

This may be because of memory issue.Make sure the array is not deallocated or removed anywhere.Enable zombie and run it so that you can recieve some log in the debugger console

Issue may be in this line

NSLog(@"%@", [[sportstypes objectAtIndex: [indexPath row]] title]);

comment it and execute and see for yourself what happens

I do not use ARC. Could this be the problem, that i have a hugh amount of zombies around? – mrequalizer Jun 06 '13 at 10:01
does the word "Zombie" sound like it is a good idea to collect them? – vikingosegundo Jun 06 '13 at 10:12
I do not collect them, but my question was if it could be the main problem that i do not use ARC? – mrequalizer Jun 06 '13 at 10:14
did you comment the line in the answer and execute?Still it shows the crash? – Lithu T.V Jun 06 '13 at 10:15

If you get error Thread 1: signal SIGABRT on every second launch. Please open the menu Product -> Scheme -> Edit Scheme, select Run YouAppName.app on the left, tab Info. Then choose GDB instead of LLDB in debugger field.

Seems to be a combination of OS X 10.8.4 and LLDB. As kenster says, switching to GDB makes the problem go away.

After this the app is dead. – mrequalizer Jun 06 '13 at 10:07
what osx version you have? – p.balmasov Jun 06 '13 at 10:10
i updated this morning to 10.8.4. I tried something, reverted it back and now the crash is no more reproduceable. – mrequalizer Jun 06 '13 at 10:13
