When my view is trying to load, the applications crashes and i get this stack:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** -[NSURL initFileURLWithPath:]: nil string parameter'
This is my code, i don’t really know where to look when this crash is occurred:

I tried to put my code on a new project (empty application) and it worked fine, i didn’t understand that error and its possible causes.
EDIT:
I tried to track the problem by elimination,and my code worked fine when i remove this method:
//Invoked when the class is instantiated in XIB
-(id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder*)aDecoder
{
self = [super initWithCoder:aDecoder];
if( self)
{
[self customInitialization];
}
return self;
}
However, when i run, my app doesn’t display me the route between the two points (The purpose of the app). So this method seems important for the whole class because without it, i couldn’t get the route and in the other side when it’s there, the app crashes. How should i deal with this contradiction?
@Vince is putting you on the right track. Since the problem is in an NSURL method being called by a framework (Google Maps in this case) you need to debug what you are passing to the framework. You have the source for the framework also right? You can set breakpoints in
loadWithStartPoint:endPoint:options:]to see what’s going on.One thing I did notice is you are passing an
NSMutableArrayas theendPointparam when I believe it expects anNSString.
