App crashing with error: -[NSNull length]: unrecognized selector sent to instance

Question

This line [self.label setFont:[MyUtilityClass fontWithSize:13.0f]]; of code is giving me the -[NSNull length]: crash. label as many of you guys can guess is a UILabel. The only logical explanation I can think of is UILabel text is null. I will post my utility class below just in case it helps.

MyUtilityClass

 + (UIFont *) fontWithSize : (CGFloat) size
   {
UIFont *font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Roboto-Regular" size:size];

return font;
    }

edit: This is the error message I've received. I can copy and paste the raw data if you need me to. This is a crash a user received according to crashlytics.

Fatal Exception: NSInvalidArgumentException

  -[NSNull length]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x378e23f0

This is the raw data of the crash.

Answer 1

您很可能试图获得您认为是NSString但实际上是NSNull 。

Answer 2

I got this issue with my code & resolved it by using system fonts. The case was it couldn't load the font which I had specified into the code. Try & let me know if it help.

Happy Coding, cheers, Ratneshwar
