Based on this line: **** -[NSPanel release]: message sent to deallocated instance 0x111c74a60*
And this from the stack trace: *#2 0x00007fff8ff49ca0 in CFRelease ()* Looks like you're over releasing. Perhaps ensure that the object is declared as "strong" so that you keep a reference of it around? This is just my guess based on the above. You should enable NSZombie and malloc stack and see if you get any more info. If not, at least you have an idea that it's the NSPanel, and you can take a closer look at that in your code. I happened to see this on the documentation for NSAlert which looks interesting... *<begin quote>* Link<https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSAlert_Class/Reference/Reference.html>Special Considerations This is a compatibility method. It is designed for easy adoption by applications migrating from the corresponding function-based API. This method uses earlier return values—NSAlertDefaultReturn<https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSPanel_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/doc/c_ref/NSAlertDefaultReturn> ,NSAlertAlternateReturn<https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSPanel_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/doc/c_ref/NSAlertAlternateReturn>, and NSAlertOtherReturn<https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSPanel_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/doc/c_ref/NSAlertOtherReturn>—compatible with the earlier API, rather than the return values defined by the NSAlert class, described in “Button Return Values.”<https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSAlert_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/doc/constant_group/Button_Return_Values> Unless you must maintain compatibility with existing alert-processing code that uses the function-based API, you should allocate (alloc) and initialize (init) the object, and then set its attributes using the appropriate methods of the NSAlert class. *<end quote>* Anyways, good luck and maybe someone else might chime in with a more conclusive answer.
