ios app crash on startup

I started using crashlytics for my iphone app, and it seems that it crashes for some users during startup (or what I am guessing is startup). Here is the stack trace:

Fatal Exception: NSInvalidArgumentException

Not really sure how to debug this since I cannot reproduce on my own. Any pointers?

simple way is to check with NSString *city= set value from json ; for example

then make a check -->

NSString *city=[responseDictionaryForEachRow     valueForKey:@"City"];
if (![city isKindOfClass:[NSNull class]]){
    @"Your code if string is not null";`
}

IOS does not consider NULL as nil and at run time it crashes.. To overcome this problem just simply compare your json string to NSNULL and then assign to string variable

NSString *yourVariable = ([stringVariable isEqual:[NSNull null]]) ? @"" : stringVariable;

In my case, the [NSNull rangeOfCharacterFromSet:] error was related to an empty User Defined Runtime Attributed which one of my view controllers needed to work with a third party custom Navigation Controller

kazi.munshimun, you can use a NSDictionary extension class for doing so. It will automatically check for NULL fields.

I have similar kind of problem. JSON response from sever contains NULL/null. Something like this:

"result":[
    {
        "id":"44",
        "message":null,
    }]

I created a category of NSNull class. Then added the methods of NSString that causing the exceptions.

NSNull+JSON.h file:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface NSNull(JSON)

@end

NSNull+JSON.m file:

@implementation NSNull (JSON)

- (NSUInteger)length { return 0; }

- (NSInteger)integerValue { return 0; };

- (float)floatValue { return 0; };

- (NSString *)description { return @"0(NSNull)"; }

- (NSArray *)componentsSeparatedByString:(NSString *)separator { return @[]; }

- (id)objectForKey:(id)key { return nil; }

- (BOOL)boolValue { return NO; }

- (NSRange)rangeOfCharacterFromSet:(NSCharacterSet *)aSet{
    NSRange nullRange = {NSNotFound, 0};
    return nullRange;
}

//add methods of NSString if needed

@end

By doing this I do not have to check NULL in every variable.

For my case,it is JSON data reseponed from service contain NULL String,and Json parsing treat it as string,but the iOS system doesn't.
