I have a viewController that manages a UICollectionView. I have a helper method that is called from cellForItemAtIndexPath that provides an NSAttributedString for a label in the cell. The helper method formats an NSAttributedString from an html string. The app will crash when moving to the background, but only if the indexPath.item is greater than 1. In other words, I can exit the app without crashing from the first or second cell, but crash consistently on the third, forth, ... cell.
Here are my helper method and stack trace. Any idea why I am crashing on exiting the app?
