Loading a UIImage from the web in IOS4

[n2pb]

Another little quirk I've noticed in the change from IOS3 to IOS4 is that whenever I attempt to go ahead and load an image dynamically from the web my app crashes.

- (void) viewDidLoad
{
	NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://assets.strose.edu/mobileweb/potd2/GetPhotoOfTheDay.ashx?id=1196"];
	UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithData: [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url]];
	imgPOTD.image = image;
}

It seems a lot of the old things I used to do have now been broken.
Any way to get this to work in OS4?

Thanks,
Justin

I actually just noticed this still crashes is whenever I connect the UIImageView to it's outlet in Interface Builder even if the code inside viewDidLoad is commented out. But if it is not connected then it doesn't crash.

Any ideas?

It would be useful to know what the crash message is.

No message is given.
I'm just testing it in the Simulator.
The second I open the app, it loads the splash screen then immediately dies.

Start adding logs to figure out where it dies, then.

This works for me. Try it.

id path = @"http://merrimusings.mu.nu/archives/images/groundhog2.jpg";
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithStringath];
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
UIImage *img = [[UIImage alloc] initWithData:data cache:NO];

I'm a complete idiot.
Monday morning detail for ya.
In my tab bar, I updated the xib file to reflect the new one, but i never updated the class of the tab on the tab bar.
Hence why everything was fine and dandy until I attempted to load/edit something on that tab.

Thanks for your help guys!
