Below is what I copy/pasted from the Crash Log sent by the client. I am unable to understand what does that mean :s

Apparently it looks like the app crashed when navigating back to a previous screen (and that’s what client has reported). What is UIWebDocumentView here?

I need to resolve the crash but I’m stuck here so any help is highly appreciated.

P.S. I’m using iphone sdk 3.0.

    Ok, i guess i found the solution. Sharing it in case someone else gets into the same situation:

    EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS means that the virtual address you’re refererencing is not in the page tables or you don’t have access. It’s a virtual address that you’re not allowed to access. For your example address address 0x67696c69 it’s likely that this is something that is not a pointer that was treated like a pointer; or your data structure that contains the pointer was free’d and overwritten with other data.

    And, then i see WebCore in the stack trace in the log (WebCore is a component in iPhone WebKit – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebKit#Components)

    So, what I was doing here, dispalying a website in UIWebView and before it could load completely, popping back to previous view controllers and it CRASHED.

    I found that UIWebView needs to have its delegate cleared before you release it; otherwise, if a web request completes after you release the UIWebView, it attempts to call back to the delegate and causes the application to crash.

    SOLUTION: I added the following code before popping view controller and it’s working now 🙂

    if (webView.loading)
    [webView stopLoading];
webView.delegate = nil;
