Terminating App - NSInvalidArgumentException

Question

Crashing when running Parse Anypic code.

-(void)sendCommentButton:(id) sender {
        NSString *trimmedComment = [commentTextView.text stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceCharacterSet]];
        if (trimmedComment.length != 0 && [self.photo objectForKey:kPAPPhotoUserKey]) {

            [comment setObject:trimmedComment forKey:kPAPActivityContentKey]; // Set comment text

Picking an Image

- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
    NSLog(@"Hello");
    UIImage *img = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];


    // JPEG to decrease file size and enable faster uploads & downloads
    NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(img, 0.8f);

    self.photoFile = [PFFile fileWithData:imageData];

    // Request a background execution task to allow us to finish uploading the photo even if the app is backgrounded
    self.fileUploadBackgroundTaskId = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] beginBackgroundTaskWithExpirationHandler:^{
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] endBackgroundTask:self.fileUploadBackgroundTaskId];
    }];

    NSLog(@"Requested background expiration task with id %lu for Anypic photo upload", (unsigned long)self.fileUploadBackgroundTaskId);
    [self.photoFile saveInBackgroundWithBlock:^(BOOL succeeded, NSError *error) {
        if (succeeded) {
            NSLog(@"Photo uploaded successfully");
            UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Photo Uploaded"
                                                            message:@"successfully"
                                                           delegate:self
                                                  cancelButtonTitle:@"OK"
                                                  otherButtonTitles:nil];
            [alert show];
        } else {

            [[UIApplication sharedApplication] endBackgroundTask:self.fileUploadBackgroundTaskId];

        }
    }];

    [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}

Question: Why is it crashing? I believe this is the code that is crashing it. What I did to crash it was not add an attachmentFile and just put a comment.

If you need more code or need any clarifications please comment down below

Answer 1

PFObject *comment = [PFObject objectWithClassName:kPAPActivityClassKey];
[comment setObject:trimmedComment forKey:kPAPActivityContentKey]; // Set comment text
[comment setObject:[self.photo objectForKey:kPAPPhotoUserKey] forKey:kPAPActivityToUserKey]; // Set toUser
[comment setObject:[PFUser currentUser] forKey:kPAPActivityFromUserKey]; // Set fromUser
[comment setObject:kPAPActivityTypeComment forKey:kPAPActivityTypeKey];
[comment setObject:self.photo forKey:kPAPActivityPhotoKey];
[comment setObject:self.photoFile forKey:@"attachmentFile"];

In one of these lines, you're passing nil to the first parameter of setObject:forKey. Add an Exception Breakpoint (in the breakpoints tab of left sidebar) and check which line it breaks on.
