My UITextView responds to UIContentSizeCategoryDidChangeNotification to respond to dynamic font changes, and I implemented the following code:
NSTextStorage * textStorage = [self textStorage];
[textStorage beginEditing];
[textStorage enumerateAttribute: NSFontAttributeName
inRange: NSMakeRange(0, [textStorage length])
options: 0
usingBlock: ^(id value, NSRange range, BOOL * stop) {
UIFont *newFont = [UIFont fontWithDescriptor: [UIFontDescriptor preferredFixedFontDescriptorWithTextStyle: IDFontTextStyleFixed] size: 0.0f];
if (newFont) {
[textStorage removeAttribute: NSFontAttributeName
range: range];
[textStorage addAttribute: NSFontAttributeName
value: newFont
range: range];
}
}];
[textStorage endEditing];
It always crashes on the last line, [textStorage endEditing];. I have enabled exception breakpoints, but there is no additional information in the debug pane see the backtrace below. If I remove 'beginEditing and endEditing, it crashes on the removeAttribute line. I'm using [UIFont fontWithDescriptor: [UIFontDescriptor preferredFixedFontDescriptorWithTextStyle: IDFontTextStyleFixed] size: 0.0f]; all over my app, and it works everywhere, except for in the UITextView.
Anyone sees what's going wrong and how I could fix it?
EDIT: here's the backtrace:

OK, I solved it.
I am using a helper class to handle the NSTextStorage, NSTextContainer, and NSLayoutManager objects. When creating MyTextView, I didn't hold on to the helper object (I only passed the textContainer to init of MyTextView). I now made the helper object a @property of MyTextView so it has a strong reference, and the crash is gone.
