EDIT

1 [syncDelegateImpl loginHandler];

2 -(void) loginHandler { SCRMsugarsoap* service = [[SCRMsugarsoap alloc] initWithUrl:serverURL]; service.logging = YES; service.username = userName; service.password = password; [service login:self action:@selector(sessionIdHandler:) user_auth: [[[SCRMuser_auth alloc] initWithUsername:userName andPassword:password]autorelease] application_name: @""]; [service release]; }

3 When it encounters [service login:self action:@selector(sessionIdHandler:) user_auth: [[[SCRMuser_auth alloc] initWithUsername:userName andPassword:password]autorelease] application_name: @""];

• (id) initWithUsername: (NSString*) username andPassword: (NSString*) pass { if(self = [super init]) { Soap *converter = [[Soap alloc] init]; SCRMsugarsoap *service = [[SCRMsugarsoap alloc] init];

      [service get_server_version:self action:@selector(get_server_versionHandler:)];
  
  
  self.user_name = username;
  self.password = [converter tomd5:pass];
  
  
  [converter release];
  [service release];
  
  
  }
  return self;
  

  }

4 Now when it encounter [service get_server_version:self action:@selector(get_server_versionHandler:)]; in the above method..

• (SoapRequest*) get_server_version: (id) _target action: (SEL) _action { NSMutableArray* _params = [NSMutableArray array];

  NSString* _envelope = [Soap createEnvelope: @"get_server_version" forNamespace: self.namespace withParameters: _params withHeaders: self.headers];
  SoapRequest* _request = [SoapRequest create: _target action: _action service: self soapAction: (@"%@/get_server_version", serverURL) postData: _envelope deserializeTo: @"NSString"];
  [_request send];
  return _request;
  

  }

  5 Now it tries to call SOAP Request class method

  • (SoapRequest*) create: (SoapHandler*) handler action: (SEL) action service: (SoapService*) service soapAction: (NSString*) soapAction postData: (NSString*) postData deserializeTo: (id) deserializeTo { SoapRequest* request = [SoapRequest create: handler action: action urlString: service.serviceUrl soapAction: soapAction postData:postData deserializeTo:deserializeTo]; request.defaultHandler = service.defaultHandler; request.logging = service.logging; request.username = service.username; request.password = service.password; return request; }

6 So when it tries to set the request the below method is called

+ (SoapRequest*) create: (SoapHandler*) handler action: (SEL) action urlString: (NSString*) urlString soapAction: (NSString*) soapAction postData: (NSString*) postData deserializeTo: (id) deserializeTo {
    SoapRequest* request = [[SoapRequest alloc] init];
    //request.url = nil;
    //if(urlString!=nil)
    //{
    request.url=[NSURL URLWithString: urlString];
    //}
    request.soapAction = soapAction;
    request.postData = [postData retain];
    request.handler = handler;
    request.deserializeTo = deserializeTo;
    request.action = action;
    request.defaultHandler = nil;
    return [request autorelease];
}

while setting the url it throws objc_exception_throw..It works fine on iphone 4 but when I am trying to deploy on iphone 3 it throws the errors..

I have multitasking and iAd frameworks in my app and I checked for the versions in the following way:

if ([[UIDevice currentDevice].systemVersion floatValue] >=3.2)
{
do iphone 4 stuff
}
else
{
do iphone 3 stuff
}

Answer 1

Your issue is right there in the report: you're passing nil to initWithString: which causes the exception. Either check for nil before calling the initializer or ensure the string value another way to fix the problem.

Edit: I'd recommend simplifying your class initializer, but that's not your problem. If urlString isn't properly formed, the URL will return nil. According to Apple's docs: The string with which to initialize the NSURL object. Must conform to RFC 2396. This method parses URLString according to RFCs 1738 and 1808.

That may be your problem, though I don't know if you posted enough code to be sure.
