I submitted my application to apple for review.Apple rejected and gave me the following crash report.

the implementation for the reportHeader is following :

  -(NSString *) reportHeader
    {
    NSString *realWorld=[self dateDescriptionRealWorld];
    NSString *year=[self yearString];
    NSString *weekDay=[self weekdayString];
    NSString *returnString=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@ %@",weekDay,realWorld,year];

    return returnString;
    }

Utility methods that are used within the method is following:

-(NSString *) dateDescriptionRealWorld
{

    return [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@",[self dayString],[self monthStringWithCod]];
}

- (NSString*) monthString{
    NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];  
    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"MMMM"];
    return [dateFormatter stringFromDate:self];
}

- (NSString*) yearString{
    NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];  
    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy"];
    return [dateFormatter stringFromDate:self];
}

- (NSString*) dayString{
    NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];  
    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd"];
    return [dateFormatter stringFromDate:self];
}

- (int) weekday{

    NSCalendar *gregorian = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];
    NSDateComponents *comps = [gregorian components:(NSDayCalendarUnit | NSMonthCalendarUnit | NSYearCalendarUnit | NSWeekdayCalendarUnit) fromDate:self];
    int weekday = [comps weekday];
    [gregorian release];
    return weekday;
}

-(NSString *) weekdayString
{
    NSDate *date=self;
    int weekday=[date weekday];
    if (weekday ==0) {
        return @"Sat";
    }
    else if(weekday ==1)
    {
        return @"Sun";
    }
    else if(weekday ==2)
    {
        return @"Mon";

    }
    else if(weekday ==3)
    {
        return @"Tue";

    }
    else if(weekday ==4)
    {
        return @"Wed";

    }
    else if(weekday ==5)
    {
        return @"Thu";

    }
    else if(weekday ==5)
    {
        return @"Fri";

    }

}

Solution

  • Where does the variable realWorld come into the picture? I suspect it's an class field that you assign the result of calling dateDescriptionRealWorld, but never retain. That's just a guess, though, based on incomplete information.
