This line:

[cloudList release];

is suspect because you didn't alloc or retain cloudList -- it is likely returned as autorelease, but read the docs for ASICloudFilesObjectRequest.

Even so, I don't think that's your problem -- it would cause problems later once it was overreleased.

I see a lot of releases that seem to be bad -- because I don't see corresponding allocs or retains. You need to read the rules of memory management for Objective-C (or move to automatic reference counting)

I documented debugging techniques for EXC_BAD_ACCESS here:

Easy things to try:

1. Run Build and Analyze (fix everything)
2. Turn on zombies
