Answer 1

Verify your plist, there is most likely a bad value. Items in an NSArray or NSDictionary can not be null. You can use Xcode to open the plist file to verify it.

Personally I use “PlistEdit Pro”, it can provide somewhat better diagnostics when the plist is invalid. There is a Free Trial here of PlistEdit Pro.
