i noticed that i got that since i try to use the annotations for my map view, help please, thx in advance :)

EDIT

this is my for loop which can make problems :

 for (int i=0; i<[array count]; i++) {

           NSDictionary *stationEnCours=[array objectAtIndex:i];


           NSString *distance=[stationEnCours objectForKey:@"distance"];
           float lng = [[stationEnCours objectForKey:@"ssiphone_longitude"]   floatValue];
           float lat = [[stationEnCours objectForKey:@"ssiphone_latitude"] floatValue];
           NSString *ensStation=[stationEnCours objectForKey:@"ssiphone_enseigne"];

           location2D = (CLLocationCoordinate2D){ .latitude = lat, .longitude = lng };
           MyLocation *annotation=[[[MyLocation alloc]initWithName:ensStation distanceVersLaStation:distance coordinate:location2D]autorelease];
           [mapView addAnnotation:annotation];
           MKCoordinateSpan span={latitudeDelta:0.2,longitudeDelta:0.2};
           MKCoordinateRegion region={location2D,span};
           [mapView setRegion:region];
           [self.view addSubview:mapView];
           }`

Answer 1

The given reason for your exception is "Collection ... was mutated while being enumerated". This means you tried to change an array within a for( in ) loop, which is not allowed because it would change the objects that you are supposed to be enumerating. The end of the reason is a dump of the array which you were enumerating. It contains 7 MyLocation objects. If you look at the top of the call stack, you see that the exception occurred in your -[StationsSurLaCarteViewController requestFinished:] method. If you look through that method and find a place where you use fast enumeration, you should easily find your problem.

If you want to modify an array while using fast enumeration, there are two possibilities: keep track of all of the things you want to change (i.e. a list of indexes to remove) and make the changes after the loop, or do the enumeration over a copy of the array. Here is an example of the second method:

NSArray *copiedArray = [originalArray copy];
for(id theObject in copiedArray) {
    if([theObject shouldBeDeleted]) {
        [originalArray removeObject:theObject];
    }
}
[copiedArray release];
