My created application crashed when executing the below lines of code
where c1 is an integer variable.

NSString *path = c1.stringValue;

Shows the following error in log:

-[NSCFString stringValue]: unrecognized selector sent to instance

e-TREND[1552:207] Uncaught Exception

where c1 is an integer variable

What does that mean? How is c1 declared?

If c1 were an int, then c1.stringValue wouldn't even compile.

The dot syntax only works when the object reference -- c1 -- is of a specific object reference type (not id) and that reference-- that class-- responds to the method.

So, you have something like:

MyThingThatRespondsToStringValue *c1;

And then you are, somewhere, assigning an instance of NSString to that variable which leads to the crash.
