Without looking at your code[1], the error seems to be that you are passing an 
Objective-C string to a function that expects a C string, in this case to the C 
standard library function printf().

You have two options.  You can either pass the string to something that expects 
an object, like NSLog(), like this:

Log(@"My string: %@", mystring);

This will log the Objective-C string and some metadata about the process.  
Alternatively, you can get a C-string representation of the Objective-C string 
object by sending it a -UTF8String message, like this:

printf("%s\n", [mystring UTF8String]);

(If you need the string in another encoding, see the NSString documentation)

for them to help.  This means putting relevant snippets of the code in your 
email, not expecting people to grab a file via FTP and unzip it.
