Question

is there a better way than this? The loadRequest in the killWebView method is a hack to get rid of webPages like youtube. I dont want to do it like that, but i cannot find any documentation on how to unload the WebView…

- (IBAction)killWebView:(id)sender 
{
[self.webView stopLoading];
[self.webModal setHidden:YES];
[self.webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"index" ofType:@"html"]isDirectory:NO]]];
}

- (IBAction)viewVideoLink:(id)sender 
{
 self.webModal.backgroundColor = [self randomColor:.4];
[self.webModal setHidden:NO];    
NSString *strWebsiteUlr = [NSString stringWithFormat:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",   [self.model.currentTrackDictionary objectForKey:@"video_url"]]];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:strWebsiteUlr];
NSURLRequest *requestObj = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[self.webView loadRequest:requestObj];
}

Answer 1

You are releasing self.webView, then two lines later, you’re sending a message to self.webView. That will cause a crash.
