NSInvalidArgumentException on accessing hardwareDescription

I encountered the same issue when calling getDeviceList for the second time. I believe this is an MRC related issue (this library is using MRC according to its podspec). The static variable deviceList will be deallocated after first use.

Hi thanks for reporting this bug, seems like ARC has gone mad, it shouldn't come but the problem exists if I make static variable an ivar or something else. I will download the latest version of xcode and see if this remains.

Till then please use older version of pod i.e. ~> 1.2

Updated with a quick fix in 1.3.2

Converting this to enhancement as loading the plist file every time you call getDeviceList is bit CPU overhead. Until I find why the dictionary was being deallocated since static variable is strong by default this should remain as a feature or may be some other approach has to be implemented.

static const NSDictionary *deviceList;
static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
    ...// initialize your deviceList
});

Changed the class based APIs to instance based.
