UITextField causes crash in iOS 5, works fine in iOS 4

I have a really weird problem where if I click on a UITextField, any UITextField in my app will crash with this error:

0_CreateCachePathEmbedded(__CFString const*, unsigned char)

0x0246ac4f <+0375> mov (%esi),%esi

Thread 5 WebThread: Program received signal: "EXC_BAD_ACCESS"

enter image description here

I tried adding a UITextField in interface builder not linked to anything, still get the same crash. Everything works fine in iOS4.3 simulator.

What on earth could be going on??

This also happened for me and changing the product name fixed it. I had a ∂ character in my Product Name for my debug/dev version of the application which seemed to work fine on iOS 4.3 but not on iOS 5. It is an impossible correlation to figure out that tapping on a random UITextField (not all caused this for example if I changed the UITextField to secure it did not crash) would cause a crash because the Product Name contained a non-standard character.

I hope this helps someone else having this issue as I spent days trying to debug this.

in my case it was the product name in the target settings which caused this strange error.

Still not sure what the problem was but I was able to fix it by just copying all code across to a new project.
