This has to be the Chicken Little of error messages.

Surely the first thing any CG…() function that takes a context does is to 
assert that the context isn’t nil, and if not branch to CGPostError and do 
nothing else. Therefore it’s actually completely harmless. Of course it 
indicates an error further up, but the outcome is just a no-op. The alarmist 
tone of the message is to make you do something to investigate this, and to 
that end it works, but the problem seems to be that the only sources of these 
errors now are Apple’s own code.
