Re: Totally confused: NSObject not init'ing

When code is not behaving as expected, step through it in the debugger.
That is what debuggers are for.

In the specific case of

order = [[ PCProductsOrder alloc] init];
NSLog(@"order: %@", order);

outputting order: (null)

Clearly [[ PCProductsOrder alloc] init]; is returning nil.

This could be because [PCProductsOrder alloc] returned nil or because -init
returned nil.

Are you sure that you are returning self from PCProductsOrder's
implementation of -init ?
Why did you show us code for PCProductsOrderController when it is probably a
problem with PCProductsOrder ?
Where and how is the order variable defined ?
