Question

iPad lockup problem (need to reboot) on program launch

Hi, Iäm almost done with an Ipad/iphone app but have one major problem:

Sometimes (about every 20th time) when I start the app, the following happens:

1. Launch screen is shown

2. Sounds start playing (so the program has started to run)

3. The sound is locked into a short repeat loop (like a broken record), for about 4 secs before it stops.

4. The device is now still showing the launch picture, but I cannot do anything on the device but reboot it.

This has to my knowledge only happened on a iPad 1, never on my iphone 4. I have not been able to test on ipad2 och iphone 4s yet.

This has happened at least once after a clean reinstall of the app, so there should not be any corrupt saved data etc.

Does anyone have a clue on what could lockup the device completely? And not doing it consistently.

Since it's not consistent it's really hard for me to pin this down so any clues/help is very appreciated!

/David

Long time later Daevid66 and I'm getting that bug too !

Did you ever find out what it was ?

I switched to a different version of air ( was 3.9 but went back to 3.6) to fix it, but it's only fixed it on the ipad3 (not 1 or 2)

-apreciate any tips

Thanks for your reply. Yes I have tried to debug and finally got a crash while debugging, but it unfornately the debugger doesn't stop until after a minute after the app has crashed, with a message saying "The connection over the wifi network was interrupted"

Possibly I could trace a lot of statments to see how long the launch gets before crashing. It's very time consuming though since I happens so rarely...

Hi David,

Thanks for reporting this problem. It is not known to us and it is difficult to say what is happening without looking at the sources. Could you please log a new bug at http://bugbase.adobe.com. Please include a sample project and steps that you have mentioned here. Also, please mention the iOS version on your device.

Thanks,

Sanika

Hi, thanks for you reply.

Can I upload the full project?

Since it's inconsistent if takes a lot of work to strip away things and test if it's still crashing. I don't think it's really due to anything in my code though, as it's working normally most of the time and I don't get any errors in the debugger (it just says "The connection over the wifi network was interrupted").

I think I've found some more clue. It seems to happen a lot more often after playing another heavy game (if I leave for example Anomaly Warzone running for some time).

More info: I'm running in gpu-mode, fullscreen. iOS version is 5.0.1.
