I am seeing a problem that seems to be unique to iOS 5, where trying to encode a dictionary results in a crash because an array is populated with a nil object in the process.
This is confusing to me because I would think in order for the following to happen, the dictionary would need to contain nil, which I would expect would crash at the time the dictionary is populated as opposed to when it is encoded.
Any idea what could be causing this?
