I'm trying to debug an handoff issue in Xcode, but the debugger disconnects every time I go to the device homescreen. This happens on both the simulator and an actual device.
I have other apps where it works correctly; that is, it continues to debug when I go to the homescreen.
Any ideas what could be causing this? I've rebooted Xcode and my Mac with no luck.
When running on the device, the log has a message that looks like:

I'd appreciate any ideas or suggestions....
Well this was dumb. At some point I had changed the "Application does not run in background" plist flag to YES. Simply changing to NO fixed the problem. Duh.

I've got a working Meteor Cordova app that installs and runs on both iOS and Android devices. However, on iOS only, and only if the iPhone is not plugged into xCode, all of the graphic assets disappear from the app and show as nothing -- no broken pic image or box outline or different color, just the color of the background as though nothing was ever there. They don't disappear while you stare at the current screen, you have to go to a different screen or leave and return to the app, but once it happens, all the graphics are gone. It doesn't even affect formatting of page content. Just poof, no more graphics.
Since it's on-device only and doesn't happen if plugged into xCode, I haven't been able to get any possible error messages. Plus, the app still works fine. And if I kill the app and restart it, the icons all come back.
Maybe this is a behavior of the internal web server that Cordova does to get around the WKWebView-no-local-assets issue? Maybe it's a code issue (I've had another iOS-only issue that was a string vs number thing in how iOS and Android act differently). But since I can only reproduce it on-device and without connection to debugging, I'm hoping someone knows the answer.
I keep all of my graphics in /public/images, if that's a clue. But the fact that it doesn't happen on Android is really a stumper.
UPDATE:
More info. I've used Xcode to examine the console log and found these log entries that clearly show the image resources are being successfully retrieved.

The -1004 error is cannot connect to host. So, this app is successfully getting images from, I think, the internally existing content server, but that breaks after a few minutes.
Does anyone have any ideas? Meteor 1.6, newest xCode, iOS 10, btw. Thanks!
Found the answer on the Meteor forum. In writeups like this:
https://github.com/meteor/cordova-plugin-meteor-webapp/issues/27
it's confirmed that there are issues with the plugin that provides the embedded content server, and macrozone has provided a fix. Install this in your project:
meteor add cordova:cordova-plugin-meteor-webapp#https://github.com/panter/cordova-plugin-meteor-webapp.git#7bb095ce393d17f662cc6bb596ce91acf743d17a
This solves this issue and maybe some white screen of death meteor cordova issues, too. Kudos to macrozone!
I have an app that takes images periodically, and I would like them to be uploaded to the iCloud Photo Stream right after the images are taken.
It appears that certain conditions need to be met in order for this to work. It only seems to work when running iOS 8, the device is connected to wireless, and by using UIImagePickerController to take pictures (rather than AVCapture) at least once. It seems that the UIImagePickerController when presented alters some system settings that allows for subsequent automatic uploading of images to the iCloud Photo Stream. If I use AVCapture only to take pictures, it will not work. I've confirmed that "Upload to My Photo Stream" is enabled in the iCloud settings, and there is an active wireless connection.
Here is the method used to save an image obtained from UIImagePickerController:
- (void)saveImage : (UIImage *)image {
// Add image to the photo library
[[PHPhotoLibrary sharedPhotoLibrary] performChanges:^{
PHAssetChangeRequest *assetChangeRequest =
[PHAssetChangeRequest creationRequestForAssetFromImage:image];
} completionHandler:^(BOOL success, NSError *error) {
if (!success)
NSLog(#"Error creating asset: %#", error);
}];
}
When running on my iPad with iOS 8, below are the entries that I see in the device system logs:

In this situation with iOS 9, the image is not uploaded when my app is active, and is uploaded only when the app goes into the background.
I suspect that the issue is due to 1. some system setting that is is activated with presentation of the UIImagePickerController only in iOS8 or 2. some issue with caching servers in iOS 9 as suggested by the log entries.
Anyone have any idea what is going on? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
I think I've found a solution. It seems that if an AVCaptureSession is running, the iCloud Photo Stream will not synchronized. Calling the stopRunning method (as below) seems to do the trick:
[self.cameraSession stopRunning];
NSAssert works fine in Xcode 4 (up to 4.6 inclusive) when running debugger. Assertion fires, you breakpoint it, then it outputs the assertion message.
But when running outside the debugger (debug build on device), assertions fire - but with no message.
This makes assertions useless: you can see the line number which asserted, but the detailed message from the programmer has been wiped.
Is this an Xcode problem? A clang/LLVM problem? Is it a setting with the wrong value? Or is there a workaround?
Example code:
NSAssert(FALSE, #"X was invalid: %i", x );
Example output (console):
<Warning>: *** Assertion failure in -[myClass method:], myClass.m:124
<Notice>: Formulating crash report for process MyApp[82]
Expected output (console):
<Warning>: *** Assertion failure in -[myClass method:], myClass.m:124
<Warning>: *** "X was invalid: -435"
<Notice>: Formulating crash report for process MyApp[82]
NB: I'm only guessing how Apple would format the assertion message.
UPDATE: Found the problem. I was wrong with my original description:
The message was not being output to console while running in the debugger
Two observations:
The NSAssert is intended for debugging purposes only. When you build a release version of your app, NSAssert does nothing.
When you use NSAssert in a debug build of an app running on a device (not through the debugger), the message is in the device's console, not Xcode's. If you go to the "Organizer" in Xcode, choose "Devices", select your device and look at the "Console", you'll see your assertion there.
For example, I put in a line of code in a "Assertion Test" app:
NSAssert(FALSE, #"Assertion performed here");
When I look at the device's "Console" through Xcode's Organizer, I see:

If you look at that fifth line, you'll see the assertion message there.
This is very situation specific ... I hadn't realised, but we had HockeyApp / QuincyKit embedded in the app.
Hockey appears to have a nasty bug where it:
captures NSAssertions
Allows them to crash
Deletes the message
Deletes the logging
... does not upload anything to the Hockey website
So ... the messages were visible in the debugger, but only in the debugger variables - I was a fool, and not paying attention: they weren't appearing in the console.
To be clear: some assertions sometimes appear in Hockey (looking at the Hockey console), but most assertions are silently missing. 100% of App crashes appear, but only about 10% of assertion crashes.
I have an app here that could be boiled down to uiscrollviews with images that you can flick through. I'm experiencing something really strange here though.
When flicking through each image (have roughly 60 of them in total), at some point the app just quits. I'm running it in XCode 4 (GM seed 2), and I'm getting no debug info, and no messages in the console at all. Turned on NSZombieEnabled, but that didn't change anything.
I'm not even getting a crash log on the device. I've run it through instruments, and it doesn't report any leaks, and my memory usage goes between 700 and 1100KB when run on the device.
I even checked each of my "pages" (the ones you flick through) and added messages at init and dealloc, and I can confirm that they're all getting deallocated properly (only keep the current and the pages on each side loaded).
Now, this seem to mostly happen at the same point in the app when I just start at the beginning and flick through each page going right, plus or minus a few pages, all pointing toward a memory issue, I do get a memory warning from the device, but there is absolutely nothing pointing to me using a lot of memory at all, nor that there are any leaks.
I got this from the console on the device when the app quits:

Now this mentions a crash report, but how do I get a hold of this when it doesn't show up in the Organizer in XCode? And why am I getting memory warnings when Instruments (and a thorough look at my code) says that I'm not using much memory, nor leaking?
Help!
EDIT: Got 3.2.6 up and running here and the console now gives me this:
Program received signal: “0”.
Data Formatters temporarily unavailable, will re-try after a 'continue'. (Unknown error loading shared library "/Developer/usr/lib/libXcodeDebuggerSupport.dylib")
Okay, so I figured it out here, and it's a bit silly.
I use UIImage's imageNamed method to load each image/page, and apparently this was causing the memory warnings.
There's a couple of things that bother me a bit about this.
The caching is obviously a good thing, but apparently in 4.3 GM it doesn't seem to actually empty its cache when a memory warning occurs.
The memory usage building up isn't being reported as being used by my app.
I have a app in which i play a splash video and have added some custom fonts.
The app works fine on ipad 3.2 but on 4.2 etc it crashes. The log says that i release something that i dint alloc. I have checked my code a hundred times and i dont do any such thing.
Either ways it works on the simulator and on the device(both 3.2)
any ideas?

SOLUTION:
First of all use the NSZombies and you will catch such errors.
The Problem: I had a timer setup for every 0.2sec and it was clearing a UIView and allocating it, not every 0.2secs but maybe once every 5secs.
I did a standard check:
if(vewCustom!= nil) {
[vewCustom removeFromSuperView];
[vewCustom release];
vewCustom = nil;
}
But the strange thing was i verified the code hundreds of times and I was not over releasing and either ways it worked on iOS4.2 for iPhone.
I removed the Timer but still it was crashing and then I removed the release and now it works fine.
Strange but it would be good if someone can explain what i was doing wrong.
You could try running the app in debug with zombies enabled. This way you'll get a stack trace on the overreleased object here's a link on how to set it up.
http://iosdevelopertips.com/debugging/tracking-down-exc_bad_access-errors-with-nszombieenabled.html
Assume that the log is true. The easiest way to find it is to enable Zombies and then exercise your application throughly. See here (tip #1):
http://loufranco.com/blog/files/debugging-memory-iphone.html
Another thing to do is a Build and Analyze and look at each thing it flags. In my experience there are very few false positives.
Just noticed this while looking for something else. The reason for the crash is that removeFromSuperview causes the superview to release the view. Thus, the release that follows is redundant (over-release). Won't be an issue with ARC, but could cause some confusion in other situations
