I have two completely different Ionic apps running on my iPhone and I can get one to open the other and visa versa!
First app, App-V3, is an Ionic V3 app that has been in production for years and has been downloaded for App Store. Second app, App-V4, is an Ionic V4 app that is still in development and loaded onto my phone with Xcode. The code bases are completely different as are the back-ends and remote databases.
Procedure: both apps have been stopped, i.e. will restart, display launch image, to open.
Either app - start, wait for launch image to come and go, and then the app becomes live.
Close this app using home button on my iPhone6S.
Then immediately open the other app.
The correct launch image displays but the original app appears!! The order makes no difference, start with App-V3 or App-V4, will have that app running in the other with above steps.
This does seem to be time dependent. After opening one app, after that app becomes live, if I wait for approximately 6 seconds or more, then close it, and immediately open the other app, then this app will start correctly. It seems that if I wait for only 5 seconds or less, then I will see the issue.
I would like to understand why this is happening. Thanks.
Maybe you have the same Id in the config.xml of your both projects, I know in android wont let you install it if its the same.

I have several app that I am working on for AndroidThing. With preview 5.1 and RPI3, I image the SDcard with the 5.1 image. I then install the apps from Android Studio (2.3.3).
1) One of the apps runs properly when downloaded. But when I try to reboot the RPI3, the app doesn't restart and I just have the AndroidThings splash screen on my display.
2) I do the same process to load the second app (on a different SDcard). This app runs for about one minute before it "crashes" and I end up again in the AndroidThings splash screen. When I restart the RPI3 all I get is the AndroidThings splash screen.
Is this an issue with the 5.1 preview? I have not tried it on 5.0. On 4.1 I was not having this problem. I had no crashes of the app and when I restarted the RPI3, the app started up.
I can't see any obvious error messages in the logs.
I'm going to see if I can try it on 5.0 but I had initial issues with 5.0 when it first came out and different run the apps on it.
You need to make sure that your apps have a Home Activity declared with the IOT_LAUNCHER and DEFAULT categories in an intent filter as described in our Getting Started tutorial. This tells Android Things which of your apps should be started automatically on boot.
You can only define one application on a given device to listen for this intent. Android Things will not start multiple apps this way. You may need to listen for the BOOT_COMPLETED broadcast in other apps on the device you need to launch automatically.
I have developed an app and have it successfully released on App Store. I have downloaded it from the App Store onto my device. At first everything worked perfectly, until after a few days, when some parts of (not all of) the app stops working properly, specifically, the device returns to its home screen when certain buttons are clicked.I have received reports from users about this issue as well.
After using XCode to build and run the app on my device, everything goes back to normal. Since this only happens after several days have passed, I cannot recreate this problem right now, hence apologies for not having error messages to show. Any ideas on possible reasons of this issue?
I'm a free developer and I use my swift application on my iPhone 7. I'm using Swift 3 and iOS 10.
So the problem is, sometimes (like 2 of 10 times) when I start the app, iOS freezes like 5 seconds before my app actualy comes to the screen. In this time I only see the app icon is in the highlighted state. This only happens with my own app, not with other apps.
My app also does nothing special on startup and this only happens on the real device, the debugger in Xcode always starts immediately.
So is this a normal behavior? And does it work properly when I decide to put it on the App Store?
Thanks in advance.
I have had this happen to me before. No, this does not happen when it is put out on the App Store. One way to get around this is to use TestFlight. You can upload your archive to apple and select on the 'TestFlight' tab of your app. Click on internal testing and then click on your email and the version of the app you want to test. You should then get an email on your Apple ID telling you to test the app, and it will let you download it. Good question :)
To test the same version which would have been uploaded to the store quickly, change the build configuration to release. To do so, click on your app's name (top left), press edit schema, click the build configuration dropdown, also deselect debug executable. (make sure to turn it back when you're going to debug, or create a new schema with the above settings to let you switch quickly in the future)
You might also try using instruments, that lag on startup might happen if you're trying to load many things in memory on your initial view controller's viewDidLoad or app delegate's didFinishLaunchingWithOptions load, especially when trying to load big files such as images, videos or large plists. You might want to try using instruments (the time profiler instrument specifically) in order to check it out.
In trying to release a new update to one of my enterprise iOS apps, I'm finding that the OTA download is failing. It will give me the "Would you like to install 'xxx'" alert, and tapping 'Install' is about as far as it will go. There's no indication that anything is happening. This occurs on my iPhone 6 and iPad both running the most recent release of iOS 8.
Running the devices on the iPhone Configuration Utility, it shows the list of installed apps, and the one app that is refusing to install has an "Install" button where all the others have "Uninstall." In the screen cap below you'll see the renamed bundle and the original bundle.
When I click the "Install" button, the iPhone Configuration Utility crashes.
I managed to get it to work using a workaround that I found elsewhere on StackOverflow, which requires renaming the app's Bundle Identifier, but it still seems like a pi$$-poor way to do it.
It seems clear that the app is somehow stuck in limbo, showing up on the app list but not showing up on the iPhone screen, and also is refusing to be overwritten. My question is, is there a way to purge the old app from the iPhone's memory, and possibly reload it using the original Bundle Identifier?
Apple still hasn't fixed this correctly in even the latest versions. There are several manifestations: the app does download, but the device doesn't quit the calling app, so you don't know if the app downloads or not. If the app was never on your device before, it usually downloads. If it was there before, and was deleted, it doesn't download. If the downloaded app is already running in the background, or you're doing in-app downloading, it often doesn't download because it doesn't want to replace a running app. I usually start the download, then switch immediately to the springboard to watch it download. If I see the clock dial on the app icon, then I know it's downloading. Changing the bundle is not a good thing, not to mention not giving any user feedback when you tap "Install."
As far as updating the app from the in app prompt.
It's a problem with apple/ios8. They aren't exiting the app after the install. If you quickly tap the home button after you hit install. Occasionally you will get a successful download.
For future use you could find out a way to use exit which will kill the app but apple warns against using exit due to poor user experience. But if apple isn't providing a good user experience in the first place for this process I think this warrants the use imho.
Ive submitted my first app and it has been approved. But I have a few issues that i'd like to ask what I should do about.
One of my images/icons that I have in my app showed correctly in my distributed binary at my end (running it in debug simulator from xcode) but on the app downloaded from the app store it is not showing at all?
IPads cannot see my app in their search of the app store?
IOS 4 is needed to run my app. How do i change it so that it can be run on IOS 3 aswell? And if i make it IOS 3 compatible does this mean that it cannot be run in the background at all (i.e. when the close out of my app and go back into it will it restart the entire app)
Also does anyone know whether submitting an update is quicker in the review process than submitting a entirely new app?
Thanks in advance for your help
Thats a QA issue. The simulator is just that and if you want to be sure that your App runs as you expect on hardware then you need to check it on hardware. There are instances of images that decode on simulator but not on hardware.
iPad only runs iOS 3.2 at the mo so if your app runs on 4.0 it wont show up for iPad.
See 2 and no you dont have multitasking in 3.2 so you need to make sure your app state persists across atomic launches. You'll need to remove/conditionally compile any 4.0 only API in your App. If thats a problem wait until November-ish.
Maybe, depends, probably no. Lead time on update/new submission is around 8 days +/- YMMV.
