dequeueReusableSupplementaryViewOfKind crash on ios 7.1 - index 0 beyond bounds for empty array

Question

having a collection view with 2 sections.

section 1:
rows: 0


section 2:
rows: 20

having registerednibs like:

[self.collectionView registerNib:[UINib nibWithNibName:@"MissionDetailHeader" bundle:nil] forSupplementaryViewOfKind:UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader withReuseIdentifier:@"MissionDetailHeader"];
[self.collectionView registerNib:[UINib nibWithNibName:@"MissionDetailHeaderPic" bundle:nil] forSupplementaryViewOfKind:UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader withReuseIdentifier:@"MissionDetailHeaderPic"];

works perfect on ios8 - but on 7.1 it always crashes at dequeueReusableSupplementaryViewOfKind :

- (UICollectionReusableView*)collectionView:(UICollectionView*)cv viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind:(NSString*)kind atIndexPath:(NSIndexPath*)indexPath {

    UICollectionReusableView* header;

    NSLog(@"LOAD SECT: %@", indexPath);
    if (indexPath.section == 0) {

        header = [collectionView dequeueReusableSupplementaryViewOfKind:kind
                                                                              withReuseIdentifier:@"MissionDetailHeaderPic"
                                                                                     forIndexPath:indexPath];

    } else {
        header = [collectionView dequeueReusableSupplementaryViewOfKind:kind
                                                    withReuseIdentifier:@"MissionDetailHeader"
                                                           forIndexPath:indexPath];
    }
    return header;
}

already searched around SO and googled like hell - cannot find any hint/tip how to trace down the error.

Answer 1

ok answer myself :D

removing

 [self.stretchyLayout setSectionInset:UIEdgeInsetsMake(8, 8, 0, 8)];

all calls to setSectionInset - fixed it on ios7
