Can't Connect Due to NULL theReadStream

[devinfoley]

Hi,

First of all, thanks for this library! Unfortunately, I'm having trouble connecting.

When I execute the following code...

// Init pusher
NSLog(@"%@", @"Connecting to pusher...");
pusher = [PTPusher pusherWithKey:PUSHER_API_KEY delegate:self encrypted:YES];
pusher.reconnectAutomatically = YES;
[pusher connect];

I get the following error...

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Invalid parameter not satisfying: theReadStream != NULL'
*** Call stack at first throw:

I've double checked everything and tried a few different parameters. Any ideas?

Thanks!
Devin

I'm unable to reproduce this; could you let me know a bit more detail. What SDK version are you building against, is this on a device or simulator?

Also, what kind of variable are you assigning the pusher object to in your snippet? Is it an instance variable? You'll probably want to retain it as pusherWithKey:delegate:encrypted: returns an auto-released object.

Hi Luke,

Thanks for the response!

After writing this, I was able to get the Sample App to run just fine in the simulator. I still have the same issue in my app though. I am using a retain @Property for pusher, so I don't think that's the issue.

I get this error on both device and simulator. My Base SDK is "iOS 5.0".

Thanks!

Did you copy that snippet directly from your app? If so, you're assigning directly to the instance variable and not using the property setter.

[devinfoley]

Thanks. That was the issue. I needed to use [self setPusher] so that it got the retain. I actually didn't know that, and figured that setting the property directly would have the same effect. Sorry for bothering with my n00b Objective C question, and thanks for the great support and lib!

Closing...

You can also use self.myProperty = whatever which will implicitly call [self setMyProperty:whatever].

Thank you!
