Invalidating NSTimer

[Devkid12]

Hello Guys,

I have a problem with invalidating a NSTimer. Basically, I want to stop the timer when a user logs out.

Now the problem is, when I logout after the updateIncidents() method is called, the application crashes with an EXC_BAD_ACCESS signal.

When the logOut method is called before the updateIncidents() method is executed, the invalidating works fine.

My code is as follows:

In the .h file:

NSTimer *timer;

In the .m file:

//In the viewDidLoad() method
timer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:30 target:self selector:@selector(updateIncidents:) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];

-(void)logOut {
    [timer invalidate];
    timer = nil;
    [self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES]; 
}

What am I missing here?

Problem solved! The problem was located in the dealloc method where the connection was already released.
