iOS crash before didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: index 0 beyond bounds for empty array

Question

update

I solved this problem by myself. I put it here for further reference. I found that I wired rootViewController of window to tabBarController in MainWindow.xib , instead of add the following line in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions :

[self.window setRootViewController:self.tabBarController];

Everything is fine after removing the link in MainWindow.

I guess it may triggered the view of the first tab, which has an un-initialed array.

Anyway, I still dont no why it is ok under ios4.

Thanks.

update

thanks for comments and answers, it happens before getting into didFinishLaunchingWithOptions. however I still paste didFinishLaunchingWithOptions here to see if I miss anything.

ps: it works perfect on ios 4.x

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
    return YES;
}

Hi I got a strange problem which happens before didFinishLaunchingWithOptions, so I have no idea how to handle it. Can anyone give any hint? Thanks you.

Check first if the array is empty:

if ([array count] > 0) {
/* do something with your array */
}

If you need to look inside the array, set a breakpoint and look inside while debugging.
