I’m requesting stuff from the web using web services that return XML.
This works fine as long as the device is not locked. If the user turns the device off or if it gets locked after the configured timeout, the webservice fails. I appended the stacktrace here.
What I’m wondering: I’m not doing anything in my test application with the result of the webservice (called via SOAP). Still it crashes, trying to call “mprotect” or something. What is the issue and how can I keep my app running if the device gets locked?
I always thought locking is different from pushing to background – the app should remain active.
I found out that “errno 12” means “out of memory” but that is not true. If the device does not lock, the test app goes on for hours. As soon as it locks, it does one more request and crashes. Also Instruments shows a constant memory usage of 40MB (Like in Luke’s question: Explanation of MProtect Errno 12 (ENOMEM) )
Mprotect failed at 0x5f55000 (length 1396736) with errno 12
