Populating a UITableView with a Remote Plist

I have a plist uploaded on a server. When I log the array with:

NSLog(@"My Array: %@", topModsArray);

It displays:

    "New item 0",
    {
    curVersion = "1.2.5";
    description = "This mod enables you to install other mods, does not modify the gameplay itself, helps other mods to.";
    maker = Risugami;
    mcVersion = "1.2.5";
    name = ModLoader;
    rating = 5;
    requires = Nothing;
},
"New item 1",
    {
    curVersion = "3.3.8.153";
    description = "This mod is like ModLoader, it allows other mods to be installed and work properly. This adds more capability for developers when making their mods.";
    maker = SpaceToad;
    mcVersion = "1.2.5";
    name = "Minecraft Forge";
    rating = 5;
    requires = ModLoader;
},
"New item 2",
    {
    curVersion = "1.2.5";
    description = "This mod gives capability for clients to use certain mods and for servers to be modded.";
    maker = Flan;
    mcVersion = "1.2.5";
    name = ModLoaderMP;
    rating = 5;
    requires = ModLoader;
},
"New item 3",
    {
    curVersion = "3.6.2";
    description = "This mod adds much more mobs to minecraft, making the game more fun and enjoyable. (Be warned it adds much more hostile mobs, and in the water)";
    maker = DrZhark;
    mcVersion = "1.2.5";
    name = "Mo' Creatures";
    rating = 5;
    requires = "ModLoader, Minecraft Forge, GUI API and CustomMobSpawner";
},
"New item 4",
    {
    curVersion = "3.1.5";
    description = "This mod makes minecraft more realistic with pipes, quarrys, machines, and much more. If you want your minecraft to be more realistic, this is a must have mod.";
    maker = "SirSengir (Now Opensource)";
    mcVersion = "1.2.5";
    name = Buildcraft;
    rating = 5;
    requires = "ModLoader and Minecraft Forge";
}

Which is what I want it to display, however when I try to add the name key to a UITableView with this:

cell.textLabel.text = [[topModsArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:@"name"];

My app crashes with SIGABRT:

see make one array in your .h and alloc it in view did load and and use that to show your table, make your array like this... 

for(int i =0 ;i <topModsArray.count ; i++ ){
    id object = [topModsArray objectAtIndex:i];
if([object isKindOfClass:[NSMutableDictionary class]] || [object isKindOfClass:[NSDictionary class]]){
     NSMutableDictionary  *dict = (NSMutableDictionary *)object;
     [yourArray addObject:dict];
 }

now return number of row is yourArray.count and in your cellForRowAtIndexPath: 

 NSMutableDictionary  *dict = [yourArray objectAtIndexPath:indexPath.row];
 cell.titleLabel.text = [dict objectForKey:@"name"];

use this may this help you

Your array is composed of alternating strings and dictionaries. The object at offset zero is "New item 0", which doesn't have an objectForKey: method. You need to select the items from your array that you actually want to display (...or index them using something like indexPath.row * 2 + 1).
