IPhone Push app crashes on launch

Question

I have two apps to which I added Push. Both are crashing immediately upon launch on legal, activated phones on which other Push apps are working fine. Apple has also rejected these apps on these grounds. I reported the issue to Apple Bug Reporter, and they said this is a known issue and marked my bug as duplicate and they have not provided any updates for weeks on the original bug.
However I am still in the same position. My apps crash on launch, whereas on the same phones, other push apps work fine.
1. Have any of you faced this issue?
2. Is there a known workaround?
My App is built for 3.0 devices and uses the stadard documented api for registering with APNS and handling success/failure.
I have heard of trying to install like the AIM push app before installing my app as a workaround but that's not a real workaround for customers. Again the most salient point is IT CRASHES ON LEGAL ACTIVATED 3.0 PHONES ON WHICH OTHER PUSH APPS WORK FINE.
The crash is immediate upon launch, and is a segment violation in the coredynamic libraries (not apparently directly related to APNS).
My code for APNS registration is as follows:
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)app {
self.navigationController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
[window addSubview:[navigationController view]];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
//Register for notification Types
NSLog("applicationDidFinishLaunching: Before Registering for the notifications types!!!");
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert | UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound)];
NSLog("applicationDidFinishLaunching: After Registering for the notifications types!!!");
// Delegation methods
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)devToken {
NSLog(@"Inside function didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken: %@", devStrToken);
NSString *devStrToken = nil;
devStrToken = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:devToken encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSLog(@"Device token: %@", devStrToken);
self.registered = YES;
[self sendProviderDeviceToken:(char *)[devStrToken UTF8String]]; // custom method
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError *)err {
NSLog(@"Error in registration. Error: %@", err);
- (void) sendProviderDeviceToken:(char *)devTokenBytes {
NSLog(@"Inside function sendProviderDeviceToken: %@", devStrToken);
NSString *uniqueIdentif = [[UIDevice currentDevice] uniqueIdentifier]; //Device unidentify
NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"<deletedonpurpose>@", devTokenBytes, uniqueIdentif];
NSLog("sendProviderDeviceToken: sending the device token through http!!!");
NSLog(@"url = %@", urlString);
// setting up the request object now
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init];
[request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];
[request setHTTPMethod:@"GET"];
NSURLResponse *response = nil;
NSData *returnData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:nil];
NSLog(@"returnData = %@", returnData);
}
