IPhone 6 apps crashing - mapkit bug?

Hey everyone, so I have an iPhone 6, 64GB. I've been having app crashing issues with specific apps, and apple it not of much help at all. I think I may have narrowed down the problem, but wondering if anyone else is having the same issue? So far, upon search the only other major crashing issues I've seen are with 128GB iphone 6+, and that's not me. Here's a rundown of what I've experienced:
9/17/14
- BRAND NEW iPhone 6, yay, restored from a backup of my iphone 5, and everything was working perfectly, no problems.
9/26/14
- That evening while traveling, random apps started crashing.
- Facebook, Redfin, Maps, sometimes Calendar/Safari/Email, sometimes Fitbit, sometimes Myfitnesspal.
- By crashing, I mean that they close abruptly with no warning. Sometimes they will actually load initially, but then after a few actions or minutes of use, they crash (facebook, email/safari/calendar). Some apps just NEVER load (Maps, Redfin), they begin to launch and then immediately close. They appear to close, but when you double-click the home button to see which apps are running, there they sit in all their glory, but you can't actually use them: bringing them back to the front of open apps just makes them appear to "crash" again. I guess it's technically more of a display error, in that the app is technically running, but you can't see it and therefore use it.
*Side note - Coincidence this was the day the fatal/buggy iOS 8.0.1 update was released? Although I hadn't installed it yet...but weird nonetheless.
9/27/14
- Installed 8.0.1 over wi-fi (traveling and no computer), but didn't fix the crashing problem.
10/27/14
- Still been crashing all this time, life without maps and facebook is hard.
- Attempted to install 8.1 and had horrific errors. Had to wipe everything and set up as new phone, install the 8.1 update, and then restore from my last iphone 5 backup.
- App crashing has ceased, and maps and all other apps are working normally. Not happy I've lost the past 45 days of history, but at least the phone is working again and I have *most* of my stuff.
12/22/14
- Haven't had a problem since the last fix in October. Once again while traveling and literally on the plane out of town (I think maybe I'm cursed?), same crashing issues start.
- It began with Facebook, then I immediately checked maps, calendar, safari etc etc and they're all broken again. In case you didn't know, traveling in a city that you don't know without maps at your fingertips, and facebook to post your exciting updates, is not fun. Begrudgingly gritted my teeth and dealt with it until I could get home from travels and try to fix it.
1/12/15
- So I've been paying attention to this crashing thing the last few weeks and taking notes, trying to figure it out, because I actually want Apple to fix this, but I can't take it anymore.
- Started out by turning on iCloud Photo Library beta to make sure all photos/vids are stored, then also did an iCloud backup and a full iTunes backup. Also took screenshots of screen layout and other important settings.
- Called Apple Support and they (of course) told me I need to update to 8.1.2 (dreading this!), and then wipe everything, setup as a new phone, and see if it's still having the problem; then restore from this mornings backup and see if that fixes it.
- I first wiped the phone, just in case the glitch/bug is what caused my last update attempt to go awry. Then setup as new phone, then updated software, then restored from this mornings backup. Seems to be working again, and now the crashing is not happening. BUT - we all know it will start happening again at some time in the future, when the stars align or some random thing triggers that glitch that starts this whole nightmare.
WHAT I'VE GATHERED FROM THIS:
1) Apple support techs are very quick to assume it's probably a corrupt backup file, and that the only way to permanently fix it is to setup as new phone and ditch the old data. Well I'm sorry, but that's just not acceptable to me. For one, every time I've restored from a backup, it appears to fix the issue. That leads me to believe there is a bug that isn't initially a problem until something triggers it. Two, I do not pay premium $ to have an iphone so that I can be told "sorry, you just have a dud backup file, if you want your phone to work properly you need to lose all your history"...I buy the iphone because of it's ease of use, and being able to seamlessly upgrade devices. At that price point, the phone better work flawlessly, and if there's a problem they need to actually fix the problem. I didn't write the code, and I certainly didn't go into my backup and change the code. And three, I have way too much data to lose in apps, messages etc - losing that alone would be worse than dealing with this dumb glitch.
2) After looking at the Diagnostic Crash Logs, all these app crashes have something to do with the Mapkit code, and sometimes also a Vectorkit code which I'm assuming is how the phone renders the map data and displays it. I'm not a developer or coder, I don't speak that language, but I can clearly see the event is EXC_CRASH and the thread each log points to has SOMETHING to do with MapKit and sometimes Vectorkit. Being that all these apps do use apple's native maps app to display or lookup map data - it's clear to me that this seems to be the issue. In researching further, I came across this post from a developer who mentions something about it: http://thecodist.com/article/our_ios_app_crash_rate :
"1/3 of the crashes are a particular one in MapKit where Apple's tile loading code in VectorKit appears to try to update a map which has already been deallocated. I reported it in Radar but so far no idea if they are going to fix it. It appears that when a map tile load isn't delivered fast enough it can complete after the app has already removed the map view."
I'd like for them to actually fix this!

Lol what is the point of a Support Community blog if all anyone is going to tell anyone is restart/wipe their device? That's garbage.
@socialprincess1, I have THIS EXACT PROBLEM with my phone. I travel (specifically air travel) and suddenly, like clock work as we push back from the gate, all apps that utilize mapkit crash. I've reproduced this problem 4 times in the last month (I've done a lot of air travel). Facebook, Apple Maps, Weather, Weather Underground, Lyft, etc. ALL CRASH.
Apps that use the Google Maps engine, Google Maps, Uber, etc. all work fine....how ironic.
The only thing that stops the crashing is restoring the device. Now, you can backup your device while its crashing and restore from that backup and your device will start working fine again...but this doesn't fix the underlying problem that this "mapkit bug" will arise again.
My only guess at this point in the debug process is it *may* have something to do with the on-board wifi (gogo-inflight, etc.), as it is the only thing that is unique to air travel. Maybe there's a cert that its trying to install or maybe even the Fly Delta app is doing something funky with location services/mapkit. At this point I really have no idea.
I've also noticed that the location services icon (black compass mark) is on CONSTANTLY now.
I have a 128GB iPhone 6 that I restored from my iPhone 5 backup upon receiving as well.

IPhone app crash diagnosis

I have one user of my app who reports that she sees the default bitmap for 2-3 seconds and then goes straight back to the home screen: in other words, my app is silently terminating right at the start.
Would a crash cause this - or would a crash also display some sort of error message?
Is any diagnostic information extractable afterwards - even not-very-useful diagnostic information?
(Fortunately it's a free app).

You've got it right--your app is crashing on startup. It's probably generating a crash report, but I don't know what Apple does with them.
Some things to think about:
1. Does the user have a different device type? For example, does she have an iPod touch and you only tested with iPhones? Or the user has a 3G and you only tested with an EDGE model? Does the user have push Exchange enabled when you didn't in testing?
2. How about languages and locales? Were there any background apps running and using resources, like iPod? Is there anything else odd about the device--is it unlocked or jailbroken, for example? (Jailbroken phones might have background apps using resources.)
3. Look at your code closely. Are there any possible race conditions? (That's where two parts of the program are trying to operate on the same object at the same time, and depending on the order in which they get to act, the program will either succeed or crash.)
4. Look very closely at how you use memory during initialization. In particular, try running your code under Guard Malloc; try it out with Instruments's leak-detection mode; and see if you can turn on zombie objects. Memory management bugs are a code smell; they often indicate deeper problems.
5. If all else fails, just go ahead and refactor the code in your application's launch. No code is ever perfect, especially code in an iPhone app this close to the App Store's launch. Your spring cleaning might turn something up.

IPhone App Crashing on iOS8

Ever since I've upgraded my iphone to iOS 8 the app keeps crashing everytime I try to sync my offline playlists. The app works fine if I turn off all my offline playlists, however as soon I turn on one the app crashes over and over again.
I've already restarted the phone multiple times, reinstalled the app multiple times and also tried to trick going around of changing the region on my phone to the UK and then back to the US but none of these solutions have helped! Please help - I live in New York city and listen to my spotify offline synced playlists while on the subway
Phone: iPhone 5
iOS: 8.0.2

My spotify ios app has been crashing at startup for almost 2 weeks (iphone 5s). I have tried all aforementioned tricks except reinstalling the app, since I do not want to have to synchronize my local tracks again.
I really am expecting an app update to fix this problem! I have been browsing this forum and reading the threads related to this issue. the absence of any official spotify response is starting to irritate me at this point.
Transparent communication with your paying customers would really go a long way.

IPhone apps crashing & battery draining, why?

My iPhone apps seem to be crashing after a few seconds including Music, email, facebook, sleepcycle and internet. My battery also seems to be draining really quickly all of a sudden. Today, my battery only lasted 4 hours without me using my phone! Has anyone else experienced this and knows of a fix?

SuperSunT, Thanks for posting this... as I'm having the same problem.
Both my partner and I have iPhone 4S bought on the day they came out. We weren't having any problems till last month I noticed my phone had the "lock" icon in the center at the top of the home screen and any apps (this "lock" icon is NOT the rotation lock, it is the one that should normally only show up when the phone is locked). I could not get rid of it, no matter how many times I locked and unlocked my phone. When I went to go to the Settings app/page, it was blank. It was just a light grey background with tiny pinstripes (the usual background of the Settings page). I was also unsuccessful turning the phone off just using the lock/power button.
I finally had to hard-reset the phone as apps started to not work either.
I've only had the "lock" icon problem once, but I've had the Settings App/page blank several times, and each time I've then been unable to shut off the phone with just the lock/power button... then apps start to malfunction.
The other day it did it and I just let it sit locked for about 10 minutes and it resolved.
I have app crashes from time to time, but not anymore than before.
My partner's phone started having the Settings app/page being blank and being unable to shut off the phone wihtout a hard reset the other day as well!
I do not really want to do a clean install, and HATE when the Genius bar suggest this. They don't ever suggest this for their Mac products, yet they're so nonchalant with this on the phone. I know they're two VERY different products, but this is getting to be their "I don't know what's wrong. Instead of me replacing your phone, you must drive back your hour drive, do this arbitrary thing which may or may not fix the problem, and when it doesn't, bring it back in so we can replace the phone and have it do the same thing again until an update comes out!"
Sorry, can you tell I've had a few too many problems where this is the case!
Anyway... I'm really curious about a few things. I've not done a clean install since getting iOS 5 (even when I got the 4S I restored it from a 4 backup... but my partner just built his from scratch). So, I know Game Center will take care of my games. My e-mails are all stored on the server. My notes are backed up to the Cloud. I do have general Cloud backups turned off. I know I'll need to transfer pictures. But what other types of stuff do you suggest I should backup? Basically, I'm asking what are the things you wished you had backed up that you forgot?
And what is this "some apps let you send backups by email" that you speak of? I've not seen that, but I've also not gone looking for it? It drives me nuts that some apps have settings within the app, and some have them in the Settings app/page... and even worse, some have both!
Sorry this post is so long, but I've been searching for other people having these problems for a month now... starting with the "lock" icon problem (I figured that was the one identifying thing). Unfortunately, I just ended up with hundreds of people who couldn't figure out that they had turned on the rotation lock and couldn't turn it back off.
Thanks for your (or anyone else's) help in advance!
P.S. I'm including pictures of the "lock" problem as well as the blank Settings page!
This first one shows the "lock" icon at the top. Clearly I am on the "Home" screen and the phone is not locked.
This second one is while I'm in the Settings app. This was taken the same day, and I just noticed that not only is the "lock" icon not showing, neither is the clock. I have another screen shot from a different day where I wasn't getting the "lock" icon problem, but the clock was in the middle at the top as it should be.

IPhone apps crashing.... constantly

Hey all,
I don't see anyone complaining about this so maybe I just have a bad phone....
The calendar, iPod, Safari, Mail, Photos, and Maps all crash. I will be able to listen to music for anywhere from a few seconds to a few hours and suddenly the iPod vanishes and the music stops. (Not a battery issue). If I try to access any applications while I am listening to music, both apps crash instantly.
Even without iPod running, Safari crashes constantly, as does Mail.
At least when apps crash, they basically just kick you back to the home screen. No dialog, no alerts... just "poof".
Anyone else?

You're not alone.
I've had various "crashes" that take me back to the home screen. A power cycle generally does the trick for me. You may even want to try a reset.
My guess is that some of these issues will be addressed in a software update.

Iphone App crashes since using Air 4.0

I have an APP called "Join Our Games Poker" into Itunes Store.
It was generated using Flash Builder 4.7 with Air 3.9 SDK. But since Apple change the requirements in the store, the only way
to get an APP approved is using the Air 4.0 SDK Build 1619 or higer versions (now Im trying with Air SDK 13.0).
Now I'm trying to publish a similar APP that uses the same code that Join Our Games Poker has, but with different name and graphics.
I have to use Air 4.0 SDK Build 1619 or Air 13.0 to be able to publish it in the store.
If I run this new APP in any simulator or even directly into my Iphone 4S using the USB cable and debugging mode through Flash Builder 4.7, it works fine.
The same is true when I export a release build of this APP for Android.
But when I export a release build for Iphone Distribution or AdHoc versions, my APP runs fine for a while, but at some point it crashes. Any clue about the problem I have? Thanks.
When I use Air 4.0, I got this log file in the Iphone 4S:

Yeah, we seem to be getting a similar issue with our Air app as of version 2.6. We're trying to downgrade Air and confirm that it's just 2.6, but here is the error report from Windows 7 Event Viewer:
And Air 2.7 seems to be giving us memory leaks so we're not using that either.

Both my iPad and iPhone apps crash, they close up without a reason. I've now reset both devises several times but it still happens. What is the issue? Is it my devices?please help it is annoying me now! Thank you

I have an issue with my iPad and iPhone. They apps keep on crashing, even the standard apps like mail and safari, notes etc. I have reset the divices and have the latest software, what am I doing wrong? Why would this happen? It is annoying and I want to fix it as I am in the middle of stuff and apps just close! Help.

I'm guessing it's an app that is on both devices. Delete all common apps, reset and see how they run.
Also try clearing your recently used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon until they wiggle
- Continually press the red to delete the apps from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done
With a quick finger, you can clear this list very quickly.

IPhone Apps Crashing

Hey guys. I have a 3G iPhone with a few apps on it. Everything was working fine until the day 2.0.1 came out and I installed it on my phone. After that none of my apps would work. All that works is what was pre-installed on the phone. I've tried restoring from backup and I've tried restoring without backup. Any idea whats going on? Am I completely screwed at this point?

I am having the same problem with the 2.0.1 software update. What I did to fix the problem was:
1.)Unsync the apps off the iPhone.
2.)Disconnect your iPhone from the computer.
3.)Reset iPhone: press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds. During this time, a red "power off" slider may appear and the screen may go black, but do not release Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.
3.)Reconnect your iPhone to the computer and resync your apps and they should work again.
But there is still a "bug" with the software 2.0.1. If you "Reset" your iPhone at anytime by holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button the apps will not work again after the restart completes. Then you will have to perform the same steps I have listed above to get them working again. This is a huge pain in the ***. And Apple needs to fix and address this problem. I am having this problem on my iPhone 2G and my girlfriends 3G iPhone. I have had to do this 10 times already between both phones, it's not fun. =8-(

IPhone app crashes unpredictably (iAd related?)

Here's the top of the crash log that gets generated. Always the same.
Looks like iAds is always the culprit.
Is it my code, some anomaly with iAds, or what?
Thanks for any input.

I don't have the problem, but I have seen messages that say that a restart usually fixes it, and if that doesn't clear cookies, history and cache in settings/Safari and then restart again. If this also fails try to Reset Network Settings, also in settings.

IPhone: App crashes on one customer's device

I have an odd problem here. I've sold about 2000 units of my app so far and all is fine, except for one customer that says it crashes on start up. He's using the same device I have: Touch with 2.1, not hacked. One of the beauties of developing for this platform is the stability and that everyone's device is like everyone elses. So does anyone have ideas as to what could be causing something like this?

Ask the customer to look for a crash report in ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/'Device_Name', and have him email it to you. It may or may not be of help.
It should be there if he has connected to iTunes since trying to run your App. Sorry, I don't know the equivalent directory in Windows.

Iphone apps closes itself

Hi, I searched around and not seen too many complaints about my problem, I hope someone can help me here.
Got My Iphone 3G 3 weeks ago, everything is great. the only glitch I have is that all the downloaded apps. Google mobile, pandora, Facebook etc... could not be opened. all the apps closes itself soon after it opens. it only happens to the downloaded apps.
I tried every suggested tricks to fix it, soft reboot, hard reboot, reset all settings, firmware update (2.02), none fixed the issue. the only thing that worked was to remove the apps and reinstall again. Than it worked for about a week. just this morning. the issue came back again. Any thoughts?
I don't see anyone complaint about this issue in this forum. I wonder if it is my phone only. should I go to an Apple store to replace it? But the store is really far from me. how else can I get apple's hardware support without going to a store.

My iPhone 3G started doing this last night. One moment I was playing a game of DizzyBee. Then an hour later, I picked up my phone and was suddenly unable to run any third-party apps. Not only am I unable to run are third-party downloaded apps, but my iPod music files and media are inaccessible. When I switch to iPod, it says there is no music in my library, even though when I sync my iPhone to iTunes, it shows all of those apps and music and video files on the "Summary" screen. I suspect there's some kind of authorization problem, where my iPhone seems to have been deauthorized to run any downloaded apps or music.
By sheer coincidence, I check the Cult of Mac blog, and they had just posted an entry about this issue, which is apparently striking a lot of iPhone users around the world: http://cultofmac.com/3rd-party-apps-crashing-itunes-bug-persists-in-iphones/2614
I am going to try to restore my iPhone, but judging from the other comments here, I'm not getting my hopes up, and am fully expecting this problem to remain unsolved until Apple releases that firmware update (sometime in September, according to the Cult of Mac blog).

What is Apple doing to fix iPhone app failure

This problem looks like a bad MS conflict error... One of the biggest reasons I got away from PC.
I have a new (now 4 days old as of this posting) 3G iPhone with all updates. It has been registered with Apple and synced with my iTunes. I have loaded free apps on my iPhone with the reasoning being that if the free apps don't work, I surly will not buy an app from the designer of a non working free app.
I have done the reset and reboot, which "some" of the apps did work fine. But all, non standard iPhone apps, crash on startup following a sync section with iTunes.
Without claiming to be a programer or even a technician, it appears that the cause of the down loaded app failure stems from the sync with iTunes and maybe poor app design. Anyone from the PC world will recognize this as a "conflict error".
At the iPhone introduction Keynote address, I feel Steve Jobs lead me to believe that is would not happen with the 3rd party development of apps. It's just not the "Apple" way. I maybe wrong in that it is not an actual "conflict error" but something else, still, it is not what I have come to expect from Apple and hope that this problem is not a sign of the future with Apple. It also appears that better "quality assurance" is needed with app development and iPhone syncing.
My question is:
What, if anything, is Apple doing to solve this massive problem with downloaded apps and the iPhone and syncing with iTunes?
If someone could show me a link with an Apple reply to solving this problem besides reset/reboot/reload I would be a little more confident in knowing that I didn't waste good money and "TIME" in getting the iPhone.
This boot-reboot, reset, wipe it clean approach is not good, to much like living in the MS world, not Apple.

Going to the local Apple store this morning...
My problem is not uncommon as the board is showing signs of this happening to many others as well. That is where I found the restore and reboot information to try to solve the issue of crashing apps.
I understand that Apple will not "give away the cow", but letting iPhone users know that the problems they are having are being addressed by Apple is a little more comforting than nothing at all. Other wise, all the apps in world are useless and even more importantly worthless, if a person has to reset/reboot/reload just to get them to work.
IF Apple can not address the basic problems with todays iPhone apps, why should one believe that the iPhone 3.0 OS is any better? Using a PC comparison, which is better, XP or Vista. If the current iPhone OS of 2.2. what ever is not working that well (as related to down loaded apps and iTunes), will OS 3.0 be any better?
The waste of time I refer to is in going to the apps store and downloading the apps... Again why by apps if the free version does not work?

My iPhone 4S can't support camera 360 apps.Once I open the apps 3 sec it will auto jump out to the home page.Look likes the apps crashed.Isn't my iPhone problem or the apps got bug?Please help me.TQ

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

IOS8 Slow Performance, Keyboard Bugs and App Crashes on iPhone 5

Since updating my iPhone 5 to iOS8, performance has slowed considerably: Apps take longer to launch and interface animation stutters.
When turning the phone on and off, the screen goes black - I have to keep pressing the on/off sleep/wake switch to get the screen to illuminate.
Typing this in landscape on my iPhone 5 (using the standard keyboard - I've not tried installing any third party keyboards yet) is taking ages: There are now only two lines of text visible due to the word-suggestion feature. I've just noticed as I type this that the text display isn't automatically scrolling, so unless I manually scroll down the window, I can't see what I'm typing!
Positioning the magnifying glass is challenging - its position is not following my finger! The behaviour of the backspace is also unpredictable . . . and I am now typing this on my Mac because Safari crashed mid-sentene ! (Thank goodness this site auto-saves - I didn't have to start again when I logged into my Mac!)
I like all the new iOS8 features (although the key feature for me - the health app - is not linking to any fitness apps yet due to an Apple-acknowledged bug). But the performance hit, bugs and app crashing created by the iOS8 upgrade means I now want to return to iOS7.
I'm surprised at these issues because, unlike previous iOS releases, IOS 8 was in public beta for a few months, as well as being with developers since WWDC.
If Apple are going to move iOS deeper into the enterprise (with IBM for example) its needs to prioritise stability - even if it means moving from an annual upgrade cycle. Apple hasn't managed this with Mac OS - the last three Mac OS updates have not been usable in an enterprise/Pro App environment until around 9 months after their release.

ios8 for my iphone 5 = crashes, hot phone, restarts, dropped calls, funny looking fuzzy 'senior picture screen' with frost on the perimeter..... Just opening 'message' for texts takes 3-4 seconds to load, where previously, it was milliseconds latency speeds. I think they pressed this OS beyond the reasonable functional limit of the hardware (phones), especially with the older phones and/or phones with less memory.
It's like an athlete on steroids, the bones can't handle the force of the muscles and something is gonna BREAK!
When did we ever come to think that $400 phones would become 2-4 year disposable items and revere at the glory of it all! And whether we realize it or not, it's being shoved down our throats.
Just fix the OS please so my phone can work for me as it has in the past.
For the $$ being paid out, we shouldn't have to reset, restart, restore......
