Verify your plist, there is most likely a bad value. Items in an NSArray or NSDictionary can not be null. You can use Xcode to open the plist file to verify it.

Personally I use "PlistEdit Pro", it can provide somewhat better diagnostics when the plist is invalid. There is a Free Trial here of PlistEdit Pro.

Actually i implemented wrongly plist. Outer tag is the <array> and inner tags are <dic>. Thank you again.

- (void)insertObject:(id)anObject atIndex:(NSUInteger)index

The object to add to the array's content. This value must not be nil.

before any input from the plist file, please check to see that the element is not nil, to avoid the excetion
