I have an app in which I was using the following code to create an outlined text for my labels.

self.label1.attributedText = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:fourthString attributes:@{NSStrokeColorAttributeName:[UIColor blackColor],NSForegroundColorAttributeName:[UIColor whiteColor],NSStrokeWidthAttributeName:@-2.0}];

All of the sudden it stopped working with the warning Thread 1: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=2, address=0x16b5c7e50) and could not execute support code to read Objective-C class data in the process. This may reduce the quality of type information available.

If I change it to

self.label2.text = fourthString:

it works fine. What happened

can you try the code in this [answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/16047902/4061501)? – Lal Krishna Mar 30 '19 at 07:19
I tried it and NO go. I got the same warnings. Thanks – user1114881 Mar 30 '19 at 07:21
Are you using custom class for that label? – Lal Krishna Mar 30 '19 at 07:25
I am creating them trough code and then added them as a subView. The view that I am adding them to is a view that also adds an overlay view on my camera. Problem is I don't remember doing anything and now it doesn't work when it did before – user1114881 Mar 30 '19 at 07:29
is that UILabel? or did you create custom class for UILabel? – Lal Krishna Mar 30 '19 at 07:33
it is a UILabel – user1114881 Mar 30 '19 at 07:34
I would recommend profiling the code in Instruments (command-i) and use the “Zombies” instrument. – TyR Mar 30 '19 at 17:43
