Question

Okay this is the first place in my app I’m using a block for anything so is there some setup or Xcode setting I need to check? This seems to me a simple use of blocks, not doing anything fancy but it crashes out on: tweetViewController.completionHandler = ^(TWTweetComposeViewControllerResult result) in the iOS 6 simulator.

- (void) showTweetComposer
{
    TWTweetComposeViewController *tweetViewController = [[TWTweetComposeViewController alloc] init];

    [self presentViewController:tweetViewController animated:YES completion:nil];

    tweetViewController.completionHandler = ^(TWTweetComposeViewControllerResult result)
    {
        [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
    };

    [tweetViewController release];
}

This happens whether I’m logged into twitter or not.

EDIT: I added a simple block based code snippet to the beginning for my showTweetComposer method to test that any kind of blocks are working in my code:

[UIView animateWithDuration:0.2 animations:^{
self.view.alpha = 0.0;
} completion:^(BOOL finished){
[self.view removeFromSuperview];
}];

Now it is crashing on this new block. So, it would seem there’s something in my project that needs to be set to support using blocks but I’m not sure what that would be. My iOS deployment target is set to iOS 4.3.

Okay, solved. This gist is, don’t weak-link against libSystem.dylib using -weak_library
