Terminating NSInvalidArgumentException

I feel really bad that I am asking a question like this. I've been searching but i couldn't find a solution for it. I was going through a tutorial (http://www.raywenderlich.com/1271/how-to-use-animations-and-sprite-sheets-in-cocos2d) and had a problem like this : * Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '* -[NSMutableArray insertObject:atIndex:]: attempt to insert nil object at 0. And the output is :

  This GDB was configured as "x86_64-apple-darwin".Attaching to process 10110.

Also I used zwoptex for spritesheets.And don't have any error. This is the first time I am asking a question here. Anyone help please?

// HelloWorldLayer implementation
@implementation HelloWorldLayer
@synthesize bear=_bear;
@synthesize moveAction = _moveAction;
@synthesize walkAction = _walkAction;
+(CCScene *) scene

    // 'scene' is an autorelease object.
    CCScene *scene = [CCScene node];

    // 'layer' is an autorelease object.
    HelloWorldLayer *layer = [HelloWorldLayer node];

    // add layer as a child to scene
    [scene addChild: layer];

    // return the scene
    return scene;
}

            CGSize winSize = [CCDirector sharedDirector].winSize;
            self.bear =[CCSprite spriteWithSpriteFrameName:@"bear1.png"];

            [spriteSheet addChild:_bear];

    }
    return self;
}

    self.bear = nil;
    self.walkAction=nil;
    // in case you have something to dealloc, do it in this method
    // in this particular example nothing needs to be released.
    // cocos2d will automatically release all the children (Label)

    // don't forget to call "super dealloc"
    [super dealloc];
}

According to the logs you are tring to use the file 'AnimBear.png' but it doesn't exist. Then into your code you trying to use the 'AnimBear.jpg'. So I don't know which one is missing, but you have an issue with your AnimBear sprite.

Also I will not recommend the use of jpg, use png files instead.

did u define NSMutableArray in this way:

 NSMutableArray *array1=[[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"0",nil];
 [array1 insertObject:@"2" atIndex:0];

---

because u insert @"2" string in walkAnimFrames.

if( (self=[super init])) {
    [[CCSpriteFrameCache sharedSpriteFrameCache] addSpriteFramesWithFile:@"AnimBear.plist"];
    CCSpriteBatchNode *spriteSheet = [CCSpriteBatchNode batchNodeWithFile:@"AnimBear.png"];
    [self addChild:spriteSheet];
    NSMutableArray *walkAnimFrames = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

    for(int i = 1; i <= 8; i++) {
        [walkAnimFrames addObject:
         [[CCSpriteFrameCache sharedSpriteFrameCache] spriteFrameByName:
          [NSString stringWithFormat:@"bear%d.png", i]]];
    }
    CCAnimation *walkAnim = [CCAnimation 
                             animationWithFrames:walkAnimFrames delay:0.1f];
        CGSize winSize = [CCDirector sharedDirector].winSize;
        self.bear =[CCSprite spriteWithSpriteFrameName:@"bear1.png"];
        _bear.position = ccp(winSize.width/2,winSize.height/2);
        self.walkAction =[CCRepeatForever actionWithAction:
                          [CCAnimate actionWithAnimation:walkAnim restoreOriginalFrame:NO]];
        [_bear runAction:_walkAction];
        [spriteSheet addChild:_bear];

}
