iPad 3, iOS 5, SDK 2.3.2 app crash on pan or zoom

[AaronConnolly]

Hi,

I've identified potentially another issue with our application while running on iPad 3. The app crashes in a similar manner as when it crashes on iOS 6 and the iPhone 5. Unfortunately it is difficult to reproduce.

I can provide our project in its current state to reproduce the issue if you'd like.

The app throws a SIGSEGV on this thread on the iPad 3:

0 crime map 0x0046eb16 testflight_backtrace + 238
1 crime map 0x0046f800 TFSignalHandler + 264

9 libsystem_c.dylib 0x33206dfa _pthread_wqthread + 294
10 libsystem_c.dylib 0x33206ccf start_wqthread + 7

Here's the other stack trace on iPhone for reference.

I've memory profiled my application and removed several of the possible memory leaks that it identifies. However for the memory leaks in 3rd party libraries I have left those alone because I'm not sure they're legitimate.

Any help or direction you could provide would be great.

Thanks,

We were able to crash the app again. Here's a slightly different stack trace. This was reproduced by choosing an agency to zoom to, then moving the map before the points had loaded on the screen. Again this was a SIGSEGV.

We must be doing something wrong with our graphics layer?

maybe ios5 and ios6 have something different?

Aaron,

Could you please share your corrected (after removing all memory leaks) project so I can try it on iPad 3?

Regards,
Nimesh

Hi Nimesh,

The DropBox \Temp\CrimeMapping.zip archive has been updated. There are still a few "potential" memory leak issues with the ASIHttpRequest.m implementation but that is a library that I didn't not write and I am weary of messing with it. If you think there is a high probability of the crash originating from that library I'll go ahead and correct those build analyzer warnings. Otherwise I have taken care of all the other potential leaks in all of our app's view controllers and categories.

Let me know if you have trouble accessing the project from DropBox.

Thanks,
- Aaron

[NimeshJarecha]

I got the project. Thanks. I tried to reproduce crash on iPad3 but I'm not able to do so. Is it possible to post a video showing how to reproduce this crash?

Regards,
Nimesh

[AaronConnolly]

This is frustrating that we're the only ones able to repro the crash. It does happen somewhat randomly, though. Have you tried chosing an agency, then pinch zooming (in or out) on the map before the graphics layer refreshes?

I'll work on getting a video of the crash.

Thanks,
- Aaron

[NimeshJarecha]

I can understand your frustration but random crashes are like that only. I tried exactly same but still can't reproduce the crash.

Regards,
Nimesh

[AaronConnolly]

OK - sounds good. If we can produce a video of the crash I'll be sure to post it.

Could there be any project settings or configuration settings that I could look at tweaking? I'm pretty sure I've got everything working. What about the build targets? When looking at our project does everything look alright to you?

Thanks,
- Aaron

[NimeshJarecha]

I don't think there is anything in the project setting which cause the issue. However, you are seeing crash on iPad but your project is set only for iPhone. You'll probably have to do very little to make it a Universal app.
