Problem with UIImagePickerController

Question

I'm having a problem with the UIImagePickerController being presented with presentModalViewController. As soon as the view displays (be it camera or photo album), the app crashes.

The whole UI is created in code, no interface builder. This has only stopped working since I've been updating the code to run on ios4. Using leaks, I can't find any, and the total memory allocation I'm getting is around 5mb.

Here's the code that I'm using to present the camera picker -

UIImagePickerController *imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
[imagePicker setSourceType:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera];
[imagePicker setDelegate:self];
[imagePicker setAllowsEditing:YES];
[imagePicker setCameraCaptureMode:UIImagePickerControllerCameraCaptureModePhoto];
[self presentModalViewController:imagePicker animated:YES];
[imagePicker release];

And the delegates as follows -

-(void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
{
  UIImage *selectedImage = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage];
  UIImage *newImage = [self createGameImage:selectedImage];
  [gameOptionsImageDisplay setImage:[self resizeImage:newImage toSize:CGSizeMake(95, 95)]];  
  [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
  [mainView setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)]; 
}

- (void)imagePickerControllerDidCancel:(UIImagePickerController *)picker
{
  [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
  [mainView setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];  
}

Setting NSZombiesEnabled to YES is telling me -

*** -[UIImage isKindOfClass:]: message sent to deallocated instance 0x142fc0

And the stack trace is as follows -

If anybody can help me out here, I would be eternally grateful!

Answer 1

Are there any other errors/warnings/messages in the console log? Something about memory warnings at different levels maybe?

Answer 2

Can you be more specific about how you solved this? What was the culprit?
