Post your code to see exactly what you are doing. However check my answer. – Pochi
is your variable of type NSString*, not const char *? – nielsbot

Can't tell without looking at the code but here are my guesses:

If you are passing an NSString you have to put 

NSString *someStringUTF = @"something";
NSString *someString = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:someStringUTF.UTF8String];

If you are passing a core object (Most of the raw objects that start with CF) you have to bridge it by either giving ownership or keeping it. 

(__bridge_transfer NSString*)yourFoundationObject
