A crash was reported in my app, Crash Pad Drums.
It cites a problem with certain cymbal sounds causing a crash on an iPod 4. One problem. I can’t find the crash on my iPod touch 2, and I don’t have an iTouch 4.

What in the heck can I do about this?

On another note, my app is free for today. If someone could download it and find the circumstances of the crash, I’d be in your debt.

EDIT:
Clarification

I can’t actually cause the crash as I don’t have a newer device to test on. I suspect that it’s an iOS 5 issue which I am looking into now, but in the future what should I do if I’m cheapo and not willing to buy a new iTouch?

EDIT:

    What you’ve found is an Apple bug. You can easily reproduce by animating any view, like this:

    CABasicAnimation *anim = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:@"transform.scale"];
anim.duration = 0.2;
anim.repeatDuration = HUGE_VALF;
anim.autoreverses = YES;
anim.toValue = [NSValue valueWithCATransform3D:CATransform3DMakeScale(0.9, 0.9, 0.0)];
[view.layer addAnimation:anim forKey:@"throb"]; // if this isn't nil we crash on tap

    Run the project. Tap the throbbing view. Crash. This code was perfectly fine on iOS 3 and iOS 4. The workaround for now is to set forKey: to nil, but that may be unacceptable, as this argument can be important – a non-nil key means that if you later add another animation with the same key, this animation is removed, which might be exactly what you were trying to do.

    I have submitted a bug report to Apple, and I suggest you do the same.

    EDIT (2/3/12): Okay, Apple says this is my bug, not theirs. Since I’m supplying a transform, I need to use a key of @"transform", not @"transform.scale". Moreover, the z-value of my 3D scale transform should be 1, not 0.
