The app crashes on the closing brace of viewDidLoad in the GameViewController. My viewDidLoad code looks like this:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    let scene = GameScene(size: CGSize(width: 768, height: 1024))
    let skView = self.view as! SKView
    skView.showsFields = true
    skView.ignoresSiblingOrder = true
    skView.showsPhysics = true
    scene.scaleMode = .AspectFill
    skView.presentScene(scene)
  }

If I comment out the lines that create, scale, and present the GameScene then the app runs fine (it's essentially a blank view in this case). This tells me that there is obviously something going on in my GameScene class, but I cannot figure out exactly what.

When I run a backtrace, I get this:

But unfortunately I do not know where to go from here. I'm not really sure how to decipher the backtrace. I know that there is something wrong with my GameScene class, is there some way to figure out exactly what? Or do I have to test every property individually?

In addition to this, it turns out the app runs fine on my iPhone when I don't run the app in the debugger.

EDIT: The problem was resolved. It was apparently a bug with Xcode, not with any of my code. EXC_BAD_ACCESS at lauch for EAGLContext renderbufferStorage: fromDrawable: in Cocos2d app whie debugging

    I've seen similar things happening to people who have incorrectly included their resources in the project. The debugger can access files that aren't necessarily packaged and shipped to the phone. Perhaps a sprite sheet isn't properly included in the project? – Braains Jul 27 '15 at 21:05

Turns out it was a bug with xcode rather than any code, as seen in this question: EXC_BAD_ACCESS at lauch for EAGLContext renderbufferStorage: fromDrawable: in Cocos2d app whie debugging.

Apparently EAGLcontext_renderBufferStorage can cause errors on iOS 8.3+. The solution to this is to change the scheme that you are using to disable GPU Frame Capture. Not entirely sure why this works, but it does!
