UIWebView Crashing on Drop Down

Question

We are loading HTML with Select control (Drop Down) in UIWebView and when we click on Drop down, the app is crashing. This is happening only when text having lengthy text, but works fine with short Text.

When we debugged, we found its an issue with UILabel in UIPopoverController coming from UIWebView. When UILabel has text with 2 lines, this issue is happening, single line its fine. We are unable to identify the issue whether its with Storyboard or Settings...etc.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Here is the Crash

Thanks, Vijay

It doesn't give any exception. Crashes at main() function only. And I can only get stack trace by typing bt in console during crash — Vijay Kumar, Dec 13 '14 at 16:31

This is a duplicate, see my answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/26692948/4206060

In short, put this into your web view delegate:

-(void)presentViewController:(UIViewController *)viewControllerToPresent animated:(BOOL)flag completion:(void (^)(void))completion
{
    dispatch_after(dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, NSEC_PER_USEC), dispatch_get_main_queue(),
               ^{
                   [super presentViewController:viewControllerToPresent animated:flag completion:completion];
               });
}

I have already checked that Article, but this issue is different which is getting from UIWebView. I tried this call back, but no luck. – Vijay Kumar Dec 14 '14 at 05:12

This is solved. The issue was because of hardcoding "AppleLanguages" NSDefaults Key to a String. When UIWebview tries to show UILabel it tries to fetch AppleLanguages as Array and crashing.
