UISearchBar Cancel Button resignFirstResponder message sent to deallocated instance

Question

I have a simple UISearchBar with a cancel button. When I call the following:

- (void)searchBarCancelButtonClicked:(UISearchBar *)sBar {
    sBar.text = nil;
    [sBar resignFirstResponder];
}

and watch it with breakpoints, I get the following error (which occurs after the [sBar resignFirstResponder] gets called):

*** -[CFString class]: message sent to deallocated instance 0x5ec7270

This ONLY happens once I've performed a search using the following code:

- (void)searchBarSearchButtonClicked:(UISearchBar *)sBar{   
    [sBar resignFirstResponder];

    BrowseViewController *browseViewController = [[BrowseViewController alloc] initWithSearchTerms:sBar.text];
    browseViewController.title = @"Search Results";
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:browseViewController animated:YES];
    [browseViewController release];
}

And go back to the search view.

Any ideas SO?

- (void)searchBarCancelButtonClicked:(UISearchBar *)sBar { sBar.text = @""; [sBar resignFirstResponder]; } — Rakesh Bhatt
Changing sBar.text = nil; to sBar.text = @""; didn't work... Thanks for the response though! — a1phanumeric

Don't nil out the text, instead assign an empty string:

[sBar setText:@""];
