NSInvalidArgumentException -[NSNull length]: unrecognized selector sent to instance

I have following crash report and unable where it caused crash. Because I used Length field anywhere. Do you have any idea about cause of this crash:

Also I have question if length property of UILabel caused this or maybe NSNull object was another type object?

[NSNull null] is a special singleton value used to represent null values in collection types that don't allow nil such as NSArray and NSDictionary.

If you know that a certain value, coming from a server for example, can be null you need to check for that before attempting to treat it as some other value 

NSDictionary *data = ...
NSString *name = [data objectForKey:@"name"];
// This will cause a crash if the value of the
// `name` key was `null` since objectForKey:
// will return [NSNull null] 
if ([name length] > 0) { 
 // Do something
}

What you want to do is check that the value is not null before using it in any way

if (name != [NSNull null]) {
  if ([name length] > 0) {
    // Do something
  }
}
