iOS Tutorial not working in iOS 5.1

Question

I have completely finished this tutorial, which does not seem to work for me.

http://zaldzbugz.posterous.com/how-to-mark-or-get-the-highlighted-string-ins

This is a great tutorial showing how to copy/paste content from a uiwebview.I downloaded the source and ran it on my ios simulator, but i can't get the text i selected. As a result i only get an empty string.

Does anyone know why it's running anymore? I'm using iOS SDK 5.1

Sincerely,

Zoli

Additional info using iOS 5.0 simulator it's working, using iOS 5.1 It's not.

use NSLog to isolate the problem and give more informations about the errors. — Hosni, Jun 05 '12 at 12:34
no error. at the bottom of the tutorial page you see, you should see an alert pop up with the selected text as a content and "Oh yeah" for the button's text. for me a content is empty. I also NSLog the highlightedString, but it's empty. the debugger says it's value is @"" — Zoltan Varadi, Jun 05 '12 at 12:42
it is working fine with me, are you sure you selected any text from the webview? — Omar Abdelhafith, Jun 05 '12 at 12:46
yes, the text is highlighted when i push the "get highlighted string" method — Zoltan Varadi, Jun 05 '12 at 12:49
i just modified the description. with iOS 5.0 simulator it's working, but it does not work with iOS simulator 5.1 — Zoltan Varadi, Jun 05 '12 at 12:58
oddly enough it's working now. i don't know what the reason was. — Zoltan Varadi, Jun 05 '12 at 13:11
