Hi,
for a project I had to download a file with around 3GB.
So I decided to write a chunk based download controller, which easily does the following:
- open an URLStream
- Load the file by URLRequest
- Wait for the progress events and check, that we have more than 5MB in the buffer
- Write the bytes to an local file by using an Bytearray+Filestream combination
Additional I have implemented a workaround for the file size limit regarding to the Android specs,
that the local files is chunked when, the file exceeds the file size limit.
This solution works fine in this cases / test systems:
- Desktop - Windows
- Desktop - Mac
- Android - Debug
- Android - Release
- iOS 8.1.3 - Debug - fast interpreter mode
But when I try to compile and run / debug the app for iOS with the following modes:
- Release build Store
- Release build AdHoc
- Debug build without fast interpreter
The app crashes hard during the download.
I isolated my download controller and created a simple test app, which is using a simple sprite
and runs the download controller.
During the download the app is not completely hard crashing but the xcode console detects 1-2 crashes:

The debugger did not detect any error.
I tested AIR 15, 16.
Maybe this is a iOS restriction regarding to the new battery consumption limitations for apps.
So I tried to:
- Set the framerate to max. 30FPS
- Extend to buffer size before write to test on ProgressEvent form 512KB to 5MB
But the crashes are staying and the observed wakeups are not reducing.
Has anyone an idea how to solve this?
