A Permanent Fix For 3rd party apps that don't launch?

Since Apple has removed my post suggesting this is a bug (and if you've owned iPhones from the get go, you will know that this is). I'm putting a question out to the forum in hopes that besides the already mentioned deleting/updating an app via the store, uninstalling all apps (losing all the app data) and reinstalling et al, has anyone found a way to keep this from happening ever OR a way to back up the particular file that must store authorization data that gets corrupted?

My experience is the same as w7ox for as long or longer. I've had a couple of apps that would occasionally crash on launch, but these were fixed in updates from the developer. One thing to be aware of is that all apps share the same memory, so if one is ill-behaved it can cause others that are perfectly innocent to crash on launch. So the likely situation is that you have one errant app. When an app crashes because a problem in a different app a reboot will fix it, sometimes only until the other app is run again.
BTW, there are huge numbers of posts pointing to problems that are called bugs by the posters (and some actually are), so it's likely your post was deleted for a different reason than the fact that reported a bug.

Possible fix for 3rd party apps crashing after 3.0

If some or most of your 3rd party apps crash when launching them after upgrading to 3.0, I have a fix that cured my problem. Another symptom is that you can delete the App, then reinstall and it works until syncing with iTunes.
Well my cure was to download any app, even a free one via iTunes, then sync with the iPhone. All was cured. I usually just download Apps straight from the iPhone, but the iTunes route worked.

3rd party apps that don't work with OS X Maverciks

Which apps fail (in various ways) after OS X Mavericks is installed? E.g., Adobe CS4, MS Office 2011, FileMaker Pro 12, etc?

I am attempting to update students' iPads using the Apple Configurator software. However, information for 3rd party apps, like Notability and Explain Everything, is being lost.

Mike,
If by "still nothing" you mean they are not showing up in the AU manager after reinstalling them....
Im guessing the AU Cache itself is now corrupted so.....
Quit LPX
Open Finder
Press the option key and click "Go" in Finder's menu and select "Library". (This is the User Library and not the System Library and is normally hidden which is why you have to hold down the option key when clicking on Go.... to reveal it in the drop down menu that will appear)
Go to "Caches" dir and remove "AudioUnitCache" dir.
Now Restart your Mac.....
and then Launch LPX and let it rescan your plugins and see if that fixes things....
Fingers crossed...

Many 3rd party apps that I have used before now will not open with the alert "XYZ application cannot be opened because the identity of the developer cannot be confirmed" Why now?

Structured approach to debugging performance bottlenecks for 3rd Party apps

Hi All,
I am facing a situation which I believe most App Support personnel and DBAs in IT organizations do, but I havent found a structured approach to solve the problem. I am hoping this thread can help filter and pull together the varied chunks of information out there in one place.
Here is the situation. I am avoiding making it too specific, as the idea is to identify a good approach that is repeatable in other scenarios.
We are in the process of implementing a solution using a third party application (SAP's BPC), which is sitting on an Oracle database. The application implementation team has some control on to use the application to design the solution, but no direct access to the underlying queries that the app generates. We are starting to find that as the underlying database usage size is increasing (from a couple of million to tens of mllions of records), the performance of certain operations is becoming very unpredictable. Sometimes an operation would go through, relatively fast while at other times it would get stuck for over an hour and then time-out.
In such situations it is a classic battle between the Oracle DBAs and the App implementation team to try and push the ball in each other's court to try and identify and "fix" the problem.
What in your opinion would be a structured approach between the two teams to help solve the problem? For each step of the approach, please also try and see if you can point to links which further dive into specifics of executing that step.
For example, one approach might be to ...
1. DBA team to find a way to identify specific Querios/DBOperations that are taking too long. (add references here)
2. App team to collaborate with the App manufacturer's support organization to see what design changes or parameters could alter the nature of queries being generated or affect the size of the underlying tables. (too specific for each 3rd party app)
3. After exhausing (2), DBA team to analyze the remaining culprit queries and find ways to obtain better performance without changing the query or the size of the database tables via indexes/DB parameters/etc.. (add references here)
4. After exhausing (3), DBA/Unix admin team to identify which specific hardware bottlenecks are being faced (CPUs/storage/memory) to see if hardware changes can help obtain better performance.
Thoughts?

In general your approach is correct.
However I'd put priorities different way.
1. DBA team to find a way to identify specific Querios/DBOperations that are taking too long. (add references here)
2. DBA team to analyze the culprit queries and find ways to obtain better performance without changing the query or the size of the database tables via indexes/DB parameters/etc.. (add references here)
With collaboration with the App manufacturer's support if required.
Indexes are transparent to application logic. They do not affect results data. Only performance.
Note that indexes should be regular b-tree indexes, not unique or bitmap.
Edited by: user11181920 on Nov 7, 2012 3:20 PM
Changes of queries can be allowed here, with using Oracle query substitution techniques (Plan Stability, Plan Management...).
3. After exhausing (2), DBA/Unix admin team to identify which specific hardware bottlenecks are being faced (CPUs/storage/memory) to see if hardware changes can help obtain better performance.
Not only because today to beef up HW is less expensive way to improve performance comparing to SW optimization, especially redesign of App; but mainly, in case with SAP, the poor performance that can be improved by HW tells that the sizing of the system has been done incorrectly.
SAP has a methodology to size your HW depending on volume of data, number of users and quantity of transactions.
Sizing should be re-done if your data grown beyond the volume that had been used for initial SAP sizing.
4. After exhausting (3), App team to collaborate with the App manufacturer's support organization to see what design changes or parameters could alter the nature of queries being generated or affect the size of the underlying tables. (too specific for each 3rd party app)

"Software Update" for 3rd Party Apps?

Hi,
Does anyone know of an application that could act like Software Update for 3rd party programs, so that a list of updatable applications shows and you can select to download them all at once?
I know some do an update check on launch, but I was just wondering if there was a more convenient way?
Thanks,
Ben

Yes, but no. App Update is a widget that will check for updated versions of your apps. It can be found at http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/appupdate.html. Unfortunately, it won't install them for you, but will give you links to websites where you can download the newest version. I use it and like it. Give it a try!

How to enable iCloud Keychain for 3rd party apps?

I came across iCloud Keychain, which if enabled, lets you backup keychain passwords and restore on other iOS devices. Also read that 3rd party apps can integerate iCloud Keychain to their apps in order to ensure that the app's keychain items are backed up to iCloud Keychain. Would like to know more on what 3rd party apps can do with iCloud keychain.
Even Appls's FAQ says so:
Does iCloud Keychain work with third-party apps? Yes. Developers can update their apps to work with iCloud Keychain. Passwords saved by those apps are then kept up to date on all devices that use the app and running iOS 7.0.3 or later or OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later.
I couldn't really find implementation details. Please help.

If the the data is stored in the backup, it should restore to the iPad when you restore the backup. If that's not happening, sometimes it's becuase the data is stored on the app's server.
SInce you are not having any luck restoring the backup, I would do a Google search such as this one using thses parameters - without the quotes.
"restore candy crush backup progress"
Personally, I do not trust any game that has in app purchases like these games have. It is my paranoid belief that the game developers do not want you to be able to restore your progress.

IOS 6 Custom Ringtones for 3rd party apps such as Talkatone

Will iOS 6 ever allow an app such as talkatone or google voice to allow custom ringtones? Does anyone know??
Since they upgraded from iOS 5 to 6 that feature is no longer available. It is quite a bummer. Please put it on again Apple!

You can't use custom ringtones for Talkatone.
Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 4.3 or later. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.

Hurry up and release SDK for 3rd party apps

I love my ipod touch as I carry music podcasts and DVD videos.
However it would be great to have more tools available, so it acts like a PDA.

Can't rush perfection
Yeah but really I would like an update that adds some apps (COUGHIPHONEAPPSCOUGH) wow I have a bad cold

3rd party app alerts no longer show up in the notification center

I upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOS7 last week and ever since alerts for 3rd party apps (like gmail and others) haven't been showing up in the notification center. I've checked my settings for both the notification center and for my individual apps to make sure they weren't reset, made sure my apps were up to date (not all of them have had updates since iOS7 was released but some definitely have), tried toggling them on and off and rebooting, but so far nothing has helped. The banner alerts work, but nothing pops up in the notifications. Has anyone else experienced this or have any other ideas how to fix it?
I've generally been pretty pleased with the new version of iOS, but I'm hating everything about the changes made to the notification center. Even if I do get my notifications to work again, I hate that we're forced to have that "Today" tab even if you switch the summaries off! I like the unified page from iOS6 much better.

Hi cyn999!
I have an article that can help address this question:
iOS: Understanding notifications
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3576
As you can see in the screenshot, the weather does show up in the notification center, but it is in text form instead of icon form in iOS 7. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

Any word on a fix for the Maps App?

Haven't wanted to update to new iOS because of maps... new update says nothing about fix for maps... have any of the initial Map App issues been resolved?

The big difference is you are not google customer, you are google asset, the advertiser are their customer. Do I have to tell you more how google do their business? Wake up, all these freebies are there for a reason.
I prefer Apple Maps anytime and it is getting better as we speak.
Oh my, there is little more silly than someone who accuses another of being naive and in doing so, reveal there own naivety.
You didn't know that Apple gathers as much usage data as Google? Really? How do you think they plan to make their maps better? Why do you think they want their own mapping app?
Mapping is huge business and Apple wants some of that action for themselves. That AND Jobs stating that he wanted to go thermo-nuclear on Google are the primary reasons why Google Maps was replaced by Apple Maps.
Of course Google Maps has a business model, of course they collect data on our usage. Who cares? For an amazing line of products that work 99% of the time for the entire world, it is a small price to pay. Besides, for the ultra paranoid, there are many ways to hide your true identity from Google. No so with the Apple phone and Apple apps!
Perhaps I should remind you of this:
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-03/apple-must-face-lawsuit-over-iphone-dat a-collection-claims-1-.html
My primary point is that I am getting tired of Apple dictating what apps I can and cannot have! I am getting tired of Apple denying entry into the iTunes store, 3rd party apps that compete with their own. Even Google is stating that Apple may not allow Google Maps into the iDevice apps ecosystem.
http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/11/google-not-optimistic-apple-will-approve-it s-upcoming-ios-maps-app/?comments=1#comments-bar
Make no mistake, it is Apple that is the villain in this situation.
And this is no laughing matter for several reasons:
1) Apple stocks have been on a steady decline since the announcement of the iPhone 5
2) The FTC may investigate Apple's business practices once again because of the maps issue
3) People ARE decided NOT to buy into Apple because of these problems
Those in this forum that are quick to say, "get lost, go buy an Android" are not helping Apple. If you think that Apple can't die, you are really naive! Apple can become irrelevant quicker than you think.

XML Encoding from SBO - Unable to Read in a 3rd Party APP

Hi:
I have created an Add-On app that produces an XML document file when a new item is created or an existing item is updated. However, the 3rd party app that I am trying to integrate into is unable to read this XML. After doing some research, the following appears to be the issue.
SBO produces the data with UTF-16 which is a double byte encoding for XML's. The 3rd party app that I have appears to be able to handle only single byte encoding formats such as UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1. Can anyone please tell me whether it is possible to change the encoding format in my Add-On code?
Thank you.

Kushal,
The forum that you have posted your question in is for questions related to the SAP Business One Integration for SAP NetWeaver. Your question seems to be related to the SAP Business One SDK and should be posted in the SAP Business One SDK Discussion Forum.

Thank you.
Kushal Dutta

Hi Kushal,
You can use a XLST transformation to convert from UTF-16 to UTF-8.
The coding goes something like this:
XmlReader xmlRdr = XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(sXML));
XmlWriterSettings xmlWtrSettings = new XmlWriterSettings();
xmlWtrSettings.Encoding = Encoding.Unicode;
XmlWriter xmlWtr = XmlWriter.Create(sOutFile, xmlWtrSettings);
XslCompiledTransform xslt = new XslCompiledTransform();
xslt.Load(sTransformFile);
xslt.Transform(xmlRdr, xmlWtr);
xmlWtr.Flush();
xmlWtr.Close();
xmlRdr.Close();
Where sXML is the XML string generated by the SBO GetAsXML method, sOutFile is the path and filename where the transformed XML will be created and sTransformFile is the path of the XLST file.
Assuming that you wish to retain the same XML structure as before, the XLST file should look something like the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

The above example shows a XLST transform for the sales order document type. This example is for use with the xet_ValidNodesOnly setting for the XmlExportType company property. If you are using a different XmlExportType setting then the XLST will be slightly different but the principal is the same. For simplicity, I have shown only a cut-down list of the fields from the sales order but other fields and tables can be included (assuming that they are in the original XML from SBO).
Kind Regards,
Owen
P.S. Sorry for the lack of indentation on the XML file. It was there when I created this post but the forum removes the indentation.

Accelerometer Barely Works in Native Apps, Perfectly Fine in 3rd Party Apps

Slightly weird issue. I had the issue in 2.2.1 but I'd hoped it would resolve itself when I installed 3.0. Basically Changing orientation in Safari will pretty much not work at all, or in email, messaging etc. But if I run a 3rd party app that relies on the accelerometer, it works perfectly fine. For example I restored my phone entirely with 3.0, no jailbreaking, nor did I restore my backup from iTunes, so a completely clean iPhone, no data or 3rd party apps at all. It still didn't work, I installed a Liquid simulator app which I thought would make a good tester, and once again, perfectly fine, not a single issue. For the record, the accelerometer in native apps isn't entirely dead, shake to shuffle works fine, and there was one point where I had the phone on it's side for a while and it eventually dropped to landscape, but then I couldn't get it back again.
So what more can I do? Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing? I can only assume I can rule out a hardware issue since the liquid app works fine.
So to summarise:
3.0 Software, clean install, no backup restored. Accelerometer barely works in native apps. 3rd party apps, all works fine.

sounds like a good reason to go to telstra and demand the 3gs as a replacement for your faulty phone
