<Error/ Objective C> -[__NSArrayI length]: unrecognized selector sent to instance

I'm going to get music artwork from iTunes lookup API.

But on the way,
I had a problem with Xcode crashing...

Code(Objective C)

/////////// Get artwork from iTunes API/////////////
NSString *urlString = @"http://ax.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStoreServices.woa/wa/wsLookup?id=954758417&country=US";
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[NSURLConnection sendAsynchronousRequest:request queue:[NSOperationQueue mainQueue] completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse *response, NSData *data, NSError *connectionError) {
    if(!connectionError){
        NSError* parseError;
        NSDictionary *parseDictionary = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:NSJSONReadingMutableContainers error:&parseError];


        ///// Get artwork /////

        // Convert to NSString Type
        NSString *artworkUrlString = [parseDictionary valueForKeyPath:@"results.artworkUrl100"];

        NSLog(@"%@",artworkUrlString); 
        //=>("http://is2.mzstatic.com/image/pf/us/r30/Music3/v4/59/91/cc/5991cc91-28d6-9f29-f7ce-a32614c4a388/093624930655.100x100-75.jpg")

        // X Code Crashing below. but I don't know how to solve it.
        NSURL *artworkUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:artworkUrlString];

※ if I insert "http://〜.jpg" directly instead of valuable artworkUrlString,it works.

The thing is your artworkUrlString is not a NSString, but an NSArray.

You can do this to get the information you need:

// Convert to NSString Type

NSArray *results = [parseDictionary objectForKey:@"results"];
NSString *artworkUrlString = [[results firstObject] objectForKey:@"artworkUrl100"];

NSLog(@"%@",artworkUrlString);

It looks like artworkUrlString is not a NSString, but a NSArray object. To confirm this simple run [artworkUrlString class] in the console.
