MFMessageComposeViewController crashes in iOS 6

I am using the following function for sending SMS.

if([MFMessageComposeViewController canSendText])
{
     MFMessageComposeViewController *controller = [[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init];
    controller.body = @"SMS Text";

    controller.messageComposeDelegate = (id)self;
    [self presentViewController:controller animated:TRUE completion:nil];
}

It working fine in iOS 7 and above.But it's crashing in iPod running on 6.0.1 with error

* * Assertion failure in NSDictionary *_UIRecordArgumentOfInvocationAtIndex(NSInvocation *, NSUInteger, BOOL)(), /SourceCache/UIKit/UIKit-2372/UIAppearance.m:1118

The probable reason is that your picker is nil. The code will work only on devices that can send text. In regards to the same, you should always check for message sending capability using [MFMessageComposeViewController canSendText] and only then show the picker. From Apple's MFMessageComposeViewController documentation:

Before presenting a message composition view, call the canSendText class method to ensure that the user’s device is appropriately configured. Do not attempt to present a message composition view if the canSendText method returns NO. If SMS delivery isn’t available, you can notify the user or simply disable the SMS features in your application.

Starting in iOS 5, you can register to be notified of changes to the availability of text message sending by way of the MFMessageComposeViewControllerTextMessageAvailabilityDidChangeNotification notification.

EDIT: Using UITextAttributeTextColor instead of NSForegroundColorAttributeName wherever you're setting NSForegroundColorAttributeName using probably the UIAppearance methods in your app should fix the error.

Try this:

if ([MFMessageComposeViewController canSendText])
// The device can send sms.
{
    MFMessageComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init];
picker.messageComposeDelegate = self;

// You can specify one or more preconfigured recipients.  The user has
// the option to remove or add recipients from the message composer view
// controller.
// You can specify the initial message text that will appear in the message
// composer view controller.

picker.body = @"Hello Text";

[self presentViewController:picker animated:YES completion:NULL];
}

Have you checked +[MFMessageComposeViewController canSendText]?

Reference :

canSendText 

Returns a Boolean value indicating whether the current device is capable of sending text messages. + (BOOL)canSendText

Return Value

YES if the device can send text messages or NO if it cannot. Discussion

Always call this method before attempting to present the message compose view controller. A device may be unable to send messages if it does not support messaging or if it is not currently configured to send messages. This method applies only to the ability to send text messages via iMessage, SMS, and MMS.

To be notified of changes in the availability of sending text messages, register as an observer of the MFMessageComposeViewControllerTextMessageAvailabilityDidChangeNotification notification. Availability

Available in iOS 4.0 and later.
Declared In MFMessageComposeViewController.h

You can not use SMS on iPod, it is only for iPhone. You should do something like this:-

 MFMessageComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init];

 if([MFMessageComposeViewController canSendText])
  {
   //TODO: your other code
    controller.body = @"SMS Text";
    controller.messageComposeDelegate = self;
    [self presentViewController:picker animated:YES completion:NULL];
  }

Make sure you implement MFMessageComposeViewControllerDelegate on the header of your view controller.
