iOS Accessing appDelegate NSString from other class

[Xentarios]

Offending code: NSLog(@"name: %@",appDelegate.owner);
or
self.navigationItem.title=appDelegate.owner;

Problem: appDelegate.owner is crashing the application.

Interesting facts:

owner is an NSString
This line of code works correctly. self.navigationItem.title=@"test";
There are no build errors or warnings.
I have arrays being accessed in a similar way and they are working correctly.
The difference between the things that are working as far as I can tell other than it being a string is that NSString conforms to the NSCopying protocol which makes me use copy instead of retain.
The console doesn't seem to display anything useful when it crashes.
owner is actually set and prints correctly to the console with NSLog from AppDelegate.

@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *owner;


Any ideas would be appreciated. Here is a copy of the console output.

Solved

Apparently I need to reread the section on "self" Was missing that when setting owner. Owner was displaying inside the same method fine but not outside of it even in the appDelegate class. If anyone sees this behavior, that is probably your issue as well.

I am running into this exact same problem. Where was your "self" issue?

Thanks,

Not sure if this is helpful to your exact situation, but I stumbled across this thread when I was getting similar error messages from trying to draw an OpenGL texture.

I found the problem was my draw() method was getting called too early, before the class init() method had returned. Which seems to fit with what Xentarios said.
