I thought my app was almost ready to ship, but this one thing is making me crazy!

In my didEnterBackground handler, I save some images to cache and dump everything I can possibly think of and the OS seems to randomly dump my app and restart it. It doesn’t seem to be very consistent. Sometimes it comes back fine and sometimes I get a restart. According to Allocations, my memory usage is down to around 1 or 2 mb in my didEnterBackground.

And by dumping everything, I mean I remove subviews, remove objects from arrays and set a ton of stuff to nil…which means in my willEnterForeground I have to recreate a bunch of stuff.

I really don’t know what else to do.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

BTW, this is in iOS 5 and using ARC.

    At the background state the app can always get killed by the watchdog. There is no guarantee that the app is always working in the background.

    To learn more about Multitasking watch the Session 320 from WWDC 2011 there is a plenty of information about multitasking.
