Why my app crashed when called a NSString variable declared globally?

I declared a string variable to be used in another class in the same file, however when I try to display an alert with the string, it crashed.



NSString *str1;

@implementation someClass
-(void) someMethod{
str1 = something; //update the str1 value from .plist
//Alert with str1 in here displayed with no issue
}
@end


Then after the value of str1 is being updated, another class retrieved it as below, here, it crashed



%hook someInterestingClass

%new
-(void) someMethod:(NSNotification*)notification

UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc]
initWithTitle:@"Sample Title"
message:str1
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:@"Sample Title"
otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alert show];
[alert release];
}
%end


However if I globally declare a float like so and display an alert (same with above), it display perfectly fine. Why is NSString so special?



float someValue;


EDIT:
I realized it only crashed if only I try to access it from under %new, but not under %hook
