iOS 6 crashes: anyone else seeing this?

You must Login before you can answer or comment on any questions.

We've had our app on the market for about a month with no problems. With the arrival of iOS 6 we started getting crash reports, and have verified there's an issue on both iPhone and iPods: on the iPhone the app crashes on startup, and on the iPod it crashes at the first push of a button.

The crash log is not particularly helpful:

We'll be doing a lot more digging, but I'm curious if anyone else is seeing issues with iOS6 and appcelerator.

  • if anyone else is seeing issues with iOS6 and appcelerator.

    I think that statement is framed wrong.

    It isn't issues with iOS6 and appcelerator but issues with iOS6 period.

    Stack exchange and the Apple dev forums are FULL of open issues right now, and they aren't all Titanium based products.

  • Have you passed your crash logs against the dSYM for the released build?

  • Thanks Stephen. I haven't passed the crash logs against the dSYM - I'm not familiar with that, will look it up.

Grab the 2.1.3RC sdk, build your apps against it, test, get ready to submit to Apple.

  • Is this a general comment about using the latest development SDK or do you know of specific iOS 6 related issues that have been fixed with this SDK?

  • Just found the Appcelerator blog post talking about 2.1.3 for iOS 6 support, downloading it now. Thanks for the pointer.

  • 2.1.3RC SDK is working well in initial testing, much thanks for the pointer Stephen.
