@try - catch block in Objective-C

Why doesn't @try block work?
It crashed the app, but it was supposed to be caught by the @try block.

NSString* test = [NSString stringWithString:@"ss"];

@try {
[test characterAtIndex:6];

}
@catch (NSException * e) {
NSLog(@"Exception: %@", e);
}
@finally {
NSLog(@"finally");
}

Now I've found the problem.

Removing the `obj_exception_throw` from my breakpoints solved this. Now it's caught by the `@try` block and also, `NSSetUncaughtExceptionHandler` will handle this if a `@try` block is missing.

All work perfectly :)

NSString *test = @"test";
unichar a;
int index = 5;

@try {
a = [test characterAtIndex:index];
}
@catch (NSException *exception) {
NSLog(@"%@", exception.reason);
NSLog(@"Char at index %d cannot be found", index);
NSLog(@"Max index is: %lu", [test length] - 1);
}
@finally {
NSLog(@"Finally condition");
}

Log:

> [__NSCFConstantString characterAtIndex:]: Range or index out of bounds
>
> Char at index 5 cannot be found
>
> Max index is: 3
>
> Finally condition

Objective-C is not Java. In Objective-C exceptions are what they are called. Exceptions! Don’t use them for error handling. It’s not their proposal.
Just check the length of the string before using characterAtIndex and everything is fine....
