NSTextView, setString: raising exception - objective-c

I've been trying to find out what's wrong with this piece of code: I have an NSTextView which string I want to update when the user clicks in one one my table views. For now on, I'm just trying to get it to display the string "Notes".
Any idea on what I am doing wrong ? I looked into beginEditing: and endEditing: without any success.
//
// MyAppDelegate.h
#property IBOutlet NSTextView* stickyNoteContainer;
//
// MyAppDelegate.m
-(void)updateOverview{
[stickyNoteContainer setString:#"Notes"];
}

EDIT : I realized the piece of code actually runs twice without any exception at the end of the program initialization, during my - (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching: routine. After that, any triggering will be faulty. What does this suggest ?
EDIT 2 : Put aside the fact using insertText: appends instead of replacing, I get a very similar exception when trying :

It turned out I was modifying the stringValue of a NSTextView while it was calling textDidEndEditing:, which resulted in a mismatched string count and a Range or index out of bounds exception thrown when this wrong count was being used inside NSTextView inner methods.
I just bypassed the problem by using an ivar #property BOOL canModifyTextViewString which would be set accordingly inside methods where modifying the string is unsafe/not possible.

NSTextView doesn't have setString as a class method

[stickyNoteContainer insertText:#"Notes"];

Did you override dataOfType or one of the writeToURL methods?

Yosemite: NSSavePanel: __NSArrayI objectAtIndex:]: index 0 beyond bounds for empty array

After upgrading to Yosemite, I'm getting a very weird crash when I run a NSSavePanel in my app. For example, I select openDocument: and it crashes. Or I open the panel to browse files and it crashes.

This is a bug with the extension class you are using. NSArray+CocoaDevUsersAdditions firstObject method is implemented wrong. The relevant parts of the crash log you posted are these three lines:
1 libobjc.A.dylib 0x973bea2a objc_exception_throw + 276
2 CoreFoundation 0x97b1cf8c -[__NSArrayI objectAtIndex:] + 204
3 MyApp 0x0013c830 -[NSArray(CocoaDevUsersAdditions) firstObject] + 41
The index 0 beyond bounds for empty array error happens when you try to access the index 0 of an array that contains no objects.
I found some code that I think matches the NSArray+CocoaDevUsersAdditions class at this URL
-(id)firstObject
{
return [self objectAtIndex:0];
}
The above code is wrong. It should check the count of objects first. Correct code should look like this:
-(id)firstObject
{
id result = nil;
if (self.count > 0) {
result = [self objectAtIndex:0];
}
return result;
}
So the problem is the NSArray extension you are using is implemented wrong.
Best solution: Remove your NSArray+CocoaDevUsersAdditions category and use the public firstObject method on NSArray

What is "Application Specific Backtrace" in crash log?

I notice that in my app's crash log on OS X that one of the first sections is "Application Specific Backtrace". It shows something like this:

What's the significance of "Application Specific Backtrace" and why isn't that code included in the main thread backtrace?
(To be clear, I'm not asking how to debug this code, I'm just looking for an explanation on the structure and meaning of the crash log itself. Thanks!)
This is how exception handling works. You have an exception on the main thread, where the NSException is created (it holds all info about exception including current stack trace). After throwing an exception object control is passed to the closest handler in the call stack, unwinding the stack between throw and catch point. If an exception is not caught, it is intercepted by a function called the uncaught exception handler. The uncaught exception handler always causes the program to exit but may perform some task before this happens.
The default uncaught exception handler logs a message to the console before it exits the program.
So in your case Application Specific Backtrace is the stacktrace when exception was thrown and Thread 0 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread is the stack trace when the app was killed.
Notice that up to this point the stack trace is identical:

"-[__NSCFDictionary setObject:forKey:]: mutating method sent to immutable object" when calling selectRowIndexes:byExtendingSelection:

I'm trying to change the current selection of a NSTableView with the following code:
[self.modesTable selectRowIndexes:indexSet byExtendingSelection:NO];
and I'm getting the following error:
-[__NSCFDictionary setObject:forKey:]: mutating method sent to immutable object
I'm not using any dictionary at all. Anybody knows where this might come from?

The exception is definitely caused by calling -[NSDictionary setObject:forKey:] in -[FRRMode saveObject:named:].
If you are indeed not using any dictionaries in this method, you should still look for setObject:forKey:. If you over-release an object, its memory address may be occupied by an NSDictionary which obviously does not respond to the selector.
It appears that -[FRRPreferencesController syncViewWithTempModel] is your method which is calling [self.modesTable selectRowIndexes:indexSet byExtendingSelection:NO]. Then, the table view dutifully changes its selection.
It also appears that your FRRPreferencesController object is an observer of the notification posted by the table view when its selection changes. That, in turn, calls -[FRRMode saveToUserDefaults] which calls -[FRRMode saveObject:named:] and that is trying to mutate an immutable dictionary.
From the name saveToUserDefaults, I wonder if you're grabbing a dictionary-typed value from NSUserDefaults and then trying to mutate it. NSUserDefaults does not hold or return mutable collections, even if you pass a mutable collection into its -setObject:forKey:. When you later retrieve it, you get an immutable copy.

NSWindow and Webview: app crashes with "unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x100514e90"

I have a WebView in a NSWindow and when I close the window and open it again the app crashes ;(
The window is called by a menu item button.
Here is the output:

mainFrame is a method on WebView
so
2011-10-22 15:55:32.544 Textis[17176:903] HIToolbox: ignoring exception '-[__NSCFType mainFrame]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x100514e90' that raised inside Carbon event dispatch
points to your WebView being released either by you explicitly or implicitly by the OS when the window is shut. You are hitting a dead pointer.
Not sure how you are setting up your window but you are probably assuming that the original WebView is still a valid object at a reopen.
Have a look in that direction.
