POiOS simulator crashes when using Google Maps SDK for iOS
text
Body
copied!<p>This is driving me crazy...</p> <p>I have been using Google Maps SDK for iOS for a while (even in an App Store product). Now, I cannot make it run in the iOS simulator any longer! It doesn't matter which project I try to run (even the sample code from the SDK), it will always crash the first time a map is added, e.g.:</p> <pre><code>self.view = [GMSMapView mapWithFrame: frame camera: camera]; </code></pre> <p>This is the log messages I get:</p> <pre><code>2013-05-16 10:59:01.047 SDKDemos[939:1303] ADDRESPONSE - ADDING TO MEMORY ONLY: http://dl.google.com/geosdk/latest 2013-05-16 10:59:01.050 SDKDemos[939:1b03] Google Maps SDK for iOS version: 1.2.2.3031 2013-05-16 10:59:01.050 SDKDemos[939:1b03] New version of Google Maps SDK for iOS available: 1.3.0.3430 2013-05-16 10:59:01.111 SDKDemos[939:c07] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** -[__NSArrayM insertObject:atIndex:]: object cannot be nil' </code></pre> <p>I have lately tried an antivirus SW on this mac, so one theory is that it may have blocked some vital Google Maps data from downloading. Now, I have uninstalled this anti-virus SW, removed Xcode's DerivedData and reset the iOS Simulator, but with the same disappointing result.</p> <p>All projects I have tried are working perfectly fine when I run them on my iPhone. I have also another mac where everything works fine on the simulator. So clearly something must have happened with this particular machine.</p> <p>Any advice?</p> <p><strong>Update</strong></p> <p>Initially, I focused entirely on the first warning message (<code>ADDRESPONSE - ADDING TO MEMORY ONLY: http://dl.google.com/geosdk/latest</code>), but I have now realised that the only purpose of the URL mentioned there is to download a string with the latest SDK version number (currently "1.3.0.3430"). Since the SDK then correctly prints that string two lines further down, I find it very unlikely that this line is related to the real cause of the crash. (I have changed the title of this question accordingly.)</p>
