Question

It’s my first time working with a UISearchBar and so far it went fine, but now after clicking “search” I’m trying to pass the text to another function that handles the search.

[_searchModel searchIssueForTerm:searchBar.text inIssue:_dataModel.currentIssue];

This just throws me an error, saying:

-[CFString copyWithZone:]: message sent to deallocated instance 0x7dee900

But when I use this, it just works

[_searchModel searchIssueForTerm:@"test" inIssue:_dataModel.currentIssue];

Why is this hapenning? In my - (void)searchIssueForTerm:(NSString *)searchTerm inIssue:(Issue *)issue I store the NSString in another variable, why would it get deallocated then?

Answer 1

After searching for a while I managed to fix it by just saving the variable somewhere else, seems it was getting lost along the way.

_currentSearchTerm = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:searchTerm];
