App got crashed when i reload the url in cocoa webview

Question

In my cocoa application, I am using WebView to load my URL. For my requirement, I will reload the URL for every 10 minutes. But sometimes, the app got crashed when I am trying to reload. I am using the below code to load the URL in webview.

sample.h

#import <WebKit/WebKit.h>
@property(nonatomic,retain) IBOutlet WebView *webview;

Sample.m

NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"www.dummyurl.com"]];
  [self->webview.mainFrame loadRequest:request];

StackTrace:

Anyone please provide the solution to resolve this issue?

PS : I am using ARC in my project.

Answer 1

i suggest you set exception breakpoint to find exact problem with your code , but i hope your problem is Released object i think your UIWebView or Url become to nil. please use strong property for your objects. can you show a little of your code ? do you use custom webview or custom webkit ?
