Stage3D Recording Causes iOS App to Crash

Wanted to give a heads up on a major Scout crash:
I have a pretty good gigabit ethernet and wasn't downloading anything at the time, but with Stage3D Recording turned on, my iOS app crashed due to 150MB worth of Network Buffers, which I assume is a bunch of Stage3D data that is queued up. When I turned Stage3D off, there was no Network Buffer memory issue and no crash.
Session Info:
Runtime: 11.6.602.161
AIR: 3.6.0.5920
SWF ver 19
iOS 6.1.2 iPad2

Unfortunately Stage3D recording does use up a lot of memory, because it's sending every single mesh and texture over wifi to Scout. If your game has a lot of 3D resources then this could cause it to run out of memory - in this case, it's not AIR that's crashing, but the OS is killing it because of it using too much memory.
My suggestion would be to do Stage3D recording when running your content on desktop (e.g. in a simulator), since you won't have these memory constraints. If you're deep-diving into rendering, then you should be able to solve your problems on the desktop, since the rendering is the same. Profiling on device is best for looking into performance and memory issues, since you absolutely have to run it on the target platform in order to meaningfully see what's going on.

Importing photos to my ipad 2 on iOS 4.3.2 using camera connection kit causes photo app to crash

Importing photos to my ipad 2 on iOS 4.3.2 using camera connection kit causes photo app to crash. Tried importing photo from an iPhone 4/ Panasonic DMC-FX50 via USB and SD card but without success. However, importing video from a Flip Mino HD is ok. Can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong

Have you tried a reset by holding the power and home buttons for ten seconds until the apple appears?
Since it's multiple different import devices not working with the CCK, it appears to be on the iPad side...
If the reset doesn't help, try a restore from within iTunes on the computer.

RH8 causing other apps to crash?

Hello -
I have a colleague (working in another office, so I can't really see this problem first hand) who is trying to install RH8 on a Win7/32 machine (new install, not an upgrade). A member of her IT dept is performing the install.
After the installation of the app and patches is finished, RH seems to work more or less normally (she's new to RH, so her sense of "normal" is rather limited at this stage). The problem is that other applications lock up and crash (she mentioned MS Office apps in particular, but that could be because those are the ones she tends to use the most).
After un-installing RH, the other apps no longer crash.
I've recommended re-installing but skipping the "RoboHelp for Word" piece, but I can't think of anything else.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has seen a similar situation? I've found other threads that deal with RH crashing or the RH install failing, but I couldn't find any in which RH caused other apps to crash.
Thanks,
Dave

Hmm...I posted a reply via email, but it isn't showing up, so I'm pasting it in.
Hi, Rick -
Thanks for the suggestions. Like some of the other threads I've found, these seem to deal mainly with RH crashes rather than other apps. But your first link possibly has some overlap as the menu issue it describes also pops up in a thread I found:
"RoboHelp 8 crashes on Windows 7"
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2955493#2955493
This thread includes a scenario in which Outlook and other apps are failing. Additionally, some users were having RH crashes related to the menu bug. Some users found relief by uninstalling source control, others did not. Finally, An Adobe employee posted a fix that corrects issues related to Oleacc.dll which helped some users.
To be thorough, I'll mention that the problems are occurring on a laptop (another thread traced RH crashes to a BioMetric service running on their laptop). And my colleague has the FoxIt PDF utility installed (I don't think this should be the issue here, but perhaps worth a mention.)
I'm going to suggest that they try:
1a. Check the registry to ensure traces of the previous RH install are gone.
1b. Reinstall but omit source control and RH for Word (I think you can skip these during install? I'm no longer allowed to to perform my own installs, so I'm less familiar with the process than I once was.)
2. Ensure patches are installed (version should be 8.02.208)
3. If that doesn't work, try the Oleacc.dll fix.
4. If that doesn't work, try another Win7/32 machine (preferably non-laptop).
5. If all is well on the other machine, I guess it is time to start looking at which non-essential services might be causing a conflict.
Regards,
Dave

Ios app store crashing

Anyone else having issues with your app store crashing when you go into the Genius section? Besides swiping and downloading, everything else I do like click uninterested or to view the app it crashes.
iOS 6.0 (10A403)
iPhone 4s (64GB)
Sprint (13.0)

Mine just crashes whenever you search for an app and the results try to load. I think it is because since the 4th gen iPod touch has specs similiar to an iPhone 3GS it has problems loading multiple icons and screenshots at the same time and the process runs out of memory, thus causing iOS to boot the app store before it becomes unstable. On iOS 5, before the new layout all it needed to load was an app icon and the title - but in iOS 6 it has to load the screenshot and icon for 20 or so apps on cards. Therefore they should change it back to the old layout for older devices

Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
you can check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

plus a long list of other info. I did a file permissions repair, a disk repair, and reinstalled the 10.6.5 update manually, but the problem is still not fixed. Anybody have any ideas?

Can't help with the CUPS issue, since it's not occurring here. If you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, join the Mac Developer Program—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.
I will register for the developer program tomorrow. Do you know someone who knows about CUPS?, it might be helpful to sort this problem out. Should I take the sledge hammer approach and do a clean reinstall for OSX? Also there's a chance that this problem might be related to Apple portables only, since the other user is having the same issue that I do in a MacBook Pro as well but his MacBook is the 17" inch one but still there might be one common denominator here.
I really hope this thread gets seen by more users in this forum, to see if more information surfaces about this problem.
Anyways, thank you for your assistance.

Secon iOS App: BirdWatching crashes

Hi!
I've problems adding birds to my list ... ;-) There's a problem using the plus Button in the upper right corner in the navigation bar.
The simulator crashes. This is the information in the debug console:
2012-09-16 09:44:23.729 BirdWatching[1488:c07] -[AddSightingViewController viewControllers]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x6839cc0
2012-09-16 09:44:23.757 BirdWatching[1488:c07] Exception - -[AddSightingViewController viewControllers]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x6839cc0
It's reduced to this because i've added a try / catch and modified NSLog.
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    int retVal = 0;
    @autoreleasepool {
        NSString *classString = NSStringFromClass([BirdsAppDelegate class]);
        @try {
            retVal = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, classString);
        @catch (NSException *exception) {
            NSLog(@"Exception - %@",[exception description]);
            exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    return retVal;
I'm using XCode Version 4.4.1 (4F1003) and iPhone 5.1 simulator to compile and run. If you leave the main.c as it is, XCode shows an error on the line with UIApplicationMain command.
Can somebody help?

I fixed it! I had to read the documentation twice and one more time ....
On page 1 they mentioned to deploy this program to 5.0 or later ...
"To create the iOS app in this tutorial, you need Xcode 4.3 or later and the iOS SDK for iOS 5.0 or later."
OK. 5.1 is definitively later ... but it didn't work.
The first time i stepped throught the cookbook i wondered that there is no navigation controller right beside the AddSightingViewController (in the apple tutorial, only text, no pictures). I control-dragged the table-view-controller and there is already one nav-controller!
Yesterday i decided to do it once again. Then i came to the very first settings of my new project.
There is an overview to set the layout and device-orientation, app icons and launch images and also deployment target. Default was 5.1. I switched it "back" to 5.0 and began to "develop". Now, when i control-drag the table-view-controller it's only this one, no extra nav-controller.
At the end - it runs, without an error! I learned a lot these hours .... Maybe i try to fix the apple tutorial to use it with 4.5. Let's have a look on apple tutorials the next days with xcode 4.5 and ios6.

DidSelectRowAtIndexPath causes my app to crash

Hi,
I'm just learning Cocoa. I've implemented a tab bar, and the first view (a UIViewController) contains a table view. I've implemented a separate class as the tableview datasource and delegate. Everything works fine, until I add either didSelectRowAtIndexPath or accessoryButtonTappedForRowWithIndexPath. Even if these methods have absolutely no code in them, just adding their implementation to my delegate creates a problem: when I click on a table row or on the disclosure button, my app breaks, and when I "step into" the code, it crashes with a “EXCBADACCESS”. I do not have any symbolic breakpoints defined.
Here's the error I see in gdb:

Program received signal: “EXCBADACCESS”.
I currently suspect one of two things, but honestly, have no idea what is causing the problem. I suspect that either, because I'm not using a Navigation controller, it's looking for a stack, but not finding one. Or I haven't hooked something up right in IB.
As I mentioned, the table is working fine without these method implementations - that is, it is displaying some simple string data and without those method implementations, I can click on a table row and of course, nothing happens, but it doesn't crash.
Thanks so much in advance for any help.

I've made a lot of progress since I last posted!
I can see that!!
I have set the View Controllers property (using IB) to the Navigation Controller (topicsTableNavController in the code below) for the first tab.
Neither your code nor your IB conections should set the navigationController property of a view controller. That property is set by the nav controller when the vc is pushed onto its stack. Your code can then use the property to get the nc's address when it wants to push another vc onto the stack.
Then, I have set the view (through IB) of the Navigation Controller to the Table View Controller.
Similarly, you should normally consider nc.view to be read only. The nc's view content is a composite of the nav bar and the top vc's view. It's managed by the nc, so neither your code nor your IB connections should change nc.view.
I think you've simply made a wrong (and very common!) assumption about the relationship between a nav controller and the view controllers it manages: The nc's view is the one that needs to be added to the hierarchy (the tab view in this case). The vc's view is then added to the nc's view, not the other way around. So when we visualize the relationship, the nav controller is always the parent of the view controllers that are pushed on and popped from its stack.
Since you defined your controllers and their connections in IB, the solution you're looking for is in the xib file, not your code. It turns out that IB already knows the correct structure, so it's deceptively easy to build it. That can make it harder to learn what's going on, so you're lucky you managed to scramble the stucture this time, else you might have never learned it.
Try building a new test bed in IB as follows:
1) File->New Project->iPhone OS->Application->Tab Bar Application;
2) Open MainWindow.xib in IB and bring up the window named MainWindow.xib (Window->Document);
3) Switch View Mode (upper left corner) to the center position (2 columns with small-icon tree view to the left);
4) Expand Tab Bar Controller and select (not expand) the first View Controller so it's highlighted in blue;
5) Delete the first View Controller by pressing the Delete key or Edit->Delete while that controller is highlighted;
6) Drag a Navigation Controller to the MainWindow.xib tree (Tools->Library->Objects->Controllers);
7) Position the nav controller over the tab bar controller icon until the tbc is shaded and outlined;
8) Drop the nc so that the tbc becomes its parent--i.e. the nc takes the place of the deleted vc;
9) Expand the nc and expand its child root controller to see the structure;
10) Select the root vc, open the Attributes panel (Tools->Attributes Inspector) and enter a title for the root vc;
11) If you want to define the root vc's view in it's own xib, enter a name for the new xib;
12) else you can now drag a view (e.g. UIView or UITableView from the library onto the root vc's icon;
13) If you want the root vc to be a UITableViewController. go back to step 10 and replace the root UIViewController;
14) After you have the structure you want, right click on each icon to see the connections IB has already made.
Btw, if you decide to make a separate xib in step 11, make sure you set the controller's class id in both MainWindow.xib and the new xib. I.e. both the icon that creates the controller and its proxy need to have the same class (else you get a very common crash).
I'm counting on you to let me know if the above is as clear as mud, ok? I've recently tried to help in two other threads that involved the same misunderstanding about nav controllers. Start reading each of these threads at the quoted paragraph:
The reason your current code isn't producing the transition you expect is that the tab bar has attached the table controller's view to the hierarchy (i.e. using addSubview) instead of the nav controller's view. You want the nav controller's view because that's the one which will change when you push a new controller. [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9592005&#9592005];
It's the nav controller's view that contains the content view, not the other way around. This point is worth taking a moment to see, and it seems to be commonly misunderstood. [http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9607946#9607946].

IOS app just crashes without warning.

I am creating a game for the iOS (iPhone and iPad) using Flash CS5.5
The game is pretty much done, and is kind of large... so I have a sneeking suspicion that my problem could be a memory issue... but I can't be certain.
When the game launches up, according to the memory stats, it maxed about 20 megs, but after a quick garbage collection, it drops to about 13.
Now, as the level is being played, the memory goes up and up as objects (rather large custom classes consisting of MANY graphics and sub classes and sounds) are created as time goes on. I have a "object pool" in place to recycle objects and now and then the garbage collection does run and the memory will drop back down... but all in all, depending on the level and how quickly the player is playing, I've seen it peak at close to 30 megs of memory, but on AVERAGE, it's about 16 to 20
However.
At apparently completely random times, running on the iPad2, you would be playing and then all of the sudden the screen goes black and you find yourself back at the iOS desktop.
Odd...
The app is still "running" int he program list, but if you click on the app, it starts up from scratch.
Any know what could commonly cause such abnormal terminations and things I should look for in my app code?
Are there any memory limitations that I should know about... maybe the a cap on the number of objects/graphics loaded into memory at any given time...
Or could it be something entirely different?
I could really use some help on this one.
Cheers
Dave

After more than a month, I finally figured it out.
While in my system event log for an unrelated thing, I noticed a number of application errors relating to java... for a test, I completely cleared the event log, did a test publish and noticed a bran new application error.... which said this:
Faulting application name: java.exe, version: 6.0.180.7, time stamp: 0x4b2aa6cf
Faulting module name: SDHook32.dll, version: 2.0.5.1, time stamp: 0x4e36cc58

Report Id: 91d96bec-ff10-11e0-9a98-e06995b15633
I have never ever had a problem with Spybot before, and I love that software, but it seems that it was interfering with Java, so I uninstalled spybot completely and then tried another test publish and low and behold, it worked!
YAY!

Configurator 1.4.3 causing certain apps to crash on start-up

I am using Configurator 1.4.3 and while I have things set up the way that I want for our high school iPad cart, there are two apps that will ask for user authentication and then crash when you try to open them. The apps are Nuclear and Nova Elements (both science apps). When I put in our username and password (which it shouldn't even be asking for to just open the app) the app just closes itself back to the home screen.
I installed a default settings profile on the iPad and the apps still wouldn't open. I unsupervised and factory-reset the iPad and installed the apps without using configurator and they open fine, so something in configurator is causing the issue, but I don't know what. I haven't had problems with any other apps on the iPad, so I don't know how it could be a setting preventing the apps since all the others work.
Any insight would be appreciated.

I notice you haven't called Adobe support--unless you overlooked mentioning it. That is what I would do at this point. Without knowing just what apps you have on and all the facts of your configuration, it will be a matter of mostly guesswork here. That it hangs on ui.dll may give Adobe support the clue they need to troubleshoot it.
Here's one solution that might work. Set up a dual boot system, putting nothing but LR on one side--no internet, just the bare bones. Put LR on alone. Then add programs you may want to use with it, one at a time. If that solves the problem, LR will also run faster--in my case about 1.5 times as fast. Sorry, I can't be of more help.

When using Safari on my IPhone 4S videos in Tumblr all seem to autoplay causing the app to crash if there is a page with a lot of videos.

This started one day out of the blue before I updated to ios 8.0. The videos used to pull up with the "play" arrow, and you would click on it to play. Then, one day they all seemed to all load and start playing by themselves. If it is a page with a lot of videos, I get an error that says "a problem occured with this page so it was reloaded". It then reloads over and over and over, then the app shuts down and goes back to the home screen.
I never changed any settings or anything. It just changed one day. I updated to ios 8.1 thinking this might fix it, but it didn't. I even did a restore, and still nothing.
Any ideas?

I'm pretty sure this is a new feature of their site - videos autoplay on modern browsers now. Download the Google Chrome app and see if the issue persists. My guess is it will and there's nothing you can do. It's not an issue with your phone.

ICal opens slow and causes other apps to crash

Whenever I open iCal, it takes a very long time for it to load. And, once it does, it is very difficult to maneuver or add/delete any info. If I keep the program open, I'm unable to use any other applications. It makes everything lock up. And, I usually end up force quitting iCal in order to get out of it. My RAM is fine. This problem occurs even when I have no other programs open. I've tried reinstalling iCal, but after it "fixes", the problem keeps returning.
any thoughts?
