Question

the app I’ve installed on an iPhone 3G device periodically crashes. I’m wondering if it’s the device or the code. the code works fine on the simulator.

I have other apps from the app store that do the same thing. e.g. the stackoverflow app – whenever I do a search the app crashes. I’ve even had the iPod app crash too.

I’ve restored the phone a few times and still the same thing. I’m getting ready to upload the app to the app store and was wondering if anyone had any tips to make sure that my code is not the problem. it’s difficult to tell because there are no errors in the simulator or memory leaks in Instruments

thanks in advance.

Answer 1

It most certainly is your code that crashes.

Run in debug mode and watch the console (real debug mode, not only the debug target).

Also, you can (and should) grab the crash report from the organizer. You can also watch the device’s console there.
