Question

I keep running into EXC_BAD_ACCESS when calling [obj JSONString] method in the following code and I don’t know why. I have tried turning on Zombie Objects but nothing different happens.

- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification
{
    NSDictionary *obj = @{
        @"id": @1,
        @"date": @"11/07/2012",
        @"companyInfo": @"Company Details",
        @"customerInfo": @"Customer Details",
        @"taxRate": @0
    };
    NSLog(@"%@", obj);
    NSLog(@"%@", [obj JSONString]);

    // Other stuff here
}

I am running Lion. I have just upgraded to Xcode 4.4 and am using CocoaPods 0.9.2 to install JSONKit. I have tried both the 1.4 and 1.5pre versions of JSONKit to no avail.

I am using the latest OS X SDK (10.8) with a deployment target of 10.6 (it must deploy to 10.6). I have also tried the 10.7 SDK but the results are the same. The 10.6 SDK is no longer available so I cannot test that.

clang --version shows:

Apple clang version 3.1 (tags/Apple/clang-318.0.61) (based on LLVM 3.1svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin11.4.0
Thread model: posix

The application compiled and ran correctly when I was using Xcode 4.3.

It turned out that the problem was that CocoaPods does not remove the existing JSONKit files when running pod install. I’m using version 1.5pre and the code executes correctly.
