Question

I have this:

if (soapResults != nil) {
    soapResults = [soapResults stringByAppendingString:@"\n"];
    }

But I get a warning:

Assignment from distinct Objective-C type on build.

When I run it on device I get:

Program received signal: "EXC_BAD_ACCESS".

from gdb.

Any ideas how to append a newline to an NSString without getting a warning or error?

Any help appreciated // 🙂

An alternative is: [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@\n", soapResults] even if the logic is the same!

However, even in the case of stringByAppendingString, it returns a new string but it doesn’t change the target, so you have to assign the new string to a new instance of the class NSString.
