IOS missed ModalViewController EXC_BAD_ACCESS results
Calling the rejectModalViewController function will break with EXC_BAD_ACCES.
Intermittency is assembly specific, not run specific. That is, if the executable was compiled, the call will either pass sequentially or fail sequentially.
This seems to be independent of whether the code has changed between assemblies.
We are using the iPhone 5.1 and iPod touch 4th generation simulator with iOS 5.1 installed. This behavior is present in both simulated and physical devices.
Has anyone seen this before? We're out of our mind.
Here and where the modal view controller is displayed, as well as where it deprecates:
PaymentStack* paymentStack =
[[PaymentStack alloc] initWithOrder:[anOrderManager thisOrder] locationState:[appData locationState]
successBlock:^{
//Push the current order on the history list
[[appData ordersHistory] addObject:[anOrderManager thisOrder]];
if ([[anOrderManager thisOrder] isEffectivelyEqual:[anOrderManager thisOrder]])
{
//Allocate a new order
[anOrderManager setOrder:[[Order alloc] init]];
}
}
completionBlock:^{
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES
completion:^{
NSLog(@"Complete.");
}];
}
cancellationBlock:^{
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES
completion:^{
NSLog(@"Cancellation.");
}];
}];
[self presentModalViewController:[paymentStack navigationController] animated:YES];

If there is a better way I can format it for you, let me know.

When you run something like:
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES
completion:^{
NSLog(@"Complete.");
}];
inside the block and do something like:
[self presentModalViewController:[paymentStack navigationController] animated:YES];
outside of the block, it is impossible to know which line of code will work first. Sometimes it will be rejectViewControllerAnimated: otherwise it will be currentModalViewController :.
If the rejectViewControllerAnimated: function is fired first, then the viewController probably gets dealloc'ed, so when the app tries to start the presentModalViewController: it sends a message to an object that no longer exists and is likely causing the crash.
Good luck!

The problem I ran into (with the same symptoms like this) turned out to be (after a solid day of debugging!) The following situation:
1) View controller A presents (using currentViewController: animated: completion :) view controller B.
2) View controller B keeps a weak reference to view controller A (delegate reference).
3) View controller B executes a method of view controller A, which releases view controller A as a side effect.
4) Controller B tries to reject itself using:
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:completion];
Part of the difficulty in tracking this process comes from step 3) being asynchronous. Step 4) and step 3) is not finished yet. Ie, view controller B was released partially through step 4).
