Question

iPad app crashes in ad-hoc mode; debug interpreter works fine

Hi there,

I've been fighting with this issue for days now. I have an app which uses Away3D and Starling together. Works beautifully on the web, and also when compiled with debug-interpreter mode. However, when I compile for ad-hoc ipa and run it, it loads up just as slowly as debug-interpreter mode, and then crashes. I find a LowMemory report in my CrashReporter directory when I sync with iTunes.

Another strange thing is that the app's viewport is screwed up, it truncates part of the screen.

I am using the combined Flex 4.6/Air 3.3 sdk found here: - and compiling against air 3.3.

This is using Windows XP.

Can anyone help please - this is so frustrating..

Thank you.

Hi,

Yesterday I also ran into this same problem. Using Air 3.6

[Fault] exception, information=TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert Vector.<Number>@8568b29 to .

So it has not been fixed in Air 3.6

I had this problem a few months ago as well and I fixed it after painstakingly debugging the code and adding timers, took more than a few days. I remember this problem had nothing to do with the Vector.<Number> but I don't remember how I fixed it in the end and I didn't write it down. So I am going to repeat my process and waste a few days on this. But who needs weekends, right?

How is this the same bug?

I have been able to reproduce the error under the debugger with Ad-hoc (AKA "Standard" Device deployment mode). It's really quite bizzare:

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert __AS3__.vec::Vector.<game.defs::cDefCountry>@4342b51 to .

That is not a typo. The compiler didn't know what to convert it to, and just outputted "blank". Even though my class, cDefCountry, is imported in.

Anyone seen such weird behaviour before?

First guess, because ithappens in ad hoc but not fast compile modes, is that you are using unsupported functions such as loading in code from an external SWF.

Remember, Fast compile is _very_ different to standard/ad hoc compile ( much slower for one :() and has a Flash runtime that Ad Hoc or Standard do not have. This, regrettably, means you can occasionally get things to work in Fast mode that are simply not possible in any other mode.

Hi Gaius,

With the exception of my preloader, which has no actionscript code in it whatsoever, I do not have any external swfs being loaded into my app. It's all images, zip and text files.

How are they _very_ different? Is this documented somewhere? I ended up working around the problem - it seemed like it doesn't support pass-by-reference of typed vectors, although I have other code that does things like so:

var foo:Vector.<cFoo> = GetFooVector();

and it works just fine. Sounds like a bug to me. Anyway, my workaround didn't solve the problem - because I ran into this next:

Thankfully it's the exact same issue that several people have encountered, and it causes no 3d meshes to be renderable on an iOS device. Pretty serious stuff.
