Question

I have a NavigationController -> UIViewController -> UIWebView

I have a modal segue from a tableViewController to the NavigationController.

whenever i perform this segue the Application crashes. I’ve written no code in the controller, just simply placed a uiwebview in the storyboard. If i remove the uiwebview the segue runs just fine.

The debugger stops at the singleton creation line in my singleton object “CoData.m”. And when i print a description of it it prints a uiwebview description, but it’s a custom class of type NSObject.

see here http://cl.ly/GZWJ

and here http://cl.ly/Gaig

What is happening?

This is where it crashes.

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"webView" sender:self];
}

EDIT**

Answer 1

I looked at the code from http://cocoawithlove.com/2008/11/singletons-appdelegates-and-top-level.html. well.. any reason why you can’t make singleton like this:

+(MyClass *)singleton {
 static dispatch_once_t pred;
 static MyClass *shared = nil;

 dispatch_once(&pred, ^{
  shared = [[MyClass alloc] init];
 });
 return shared;
}

?
