Beta 5: Random Crash

[UrbanMonk]

Device:
iPhone 3GS
Base SDK:
iOS Device 4.1 - Release

Latest Beta..

I was making a test app to reproduce the animation jitter I reported earlier, I compiled it and ran it on my iPhone and then minmized at to let it run a while in the background. When opened it again sure enough the animation was jittring, but when I tried to kill it my iPhone screen went black and only the status bar was visible.

The Phone was frozen until I restarted it.

XCode on my Mac reported: "GDB: Program received signal: "SIGKILL".

So? What happened? What does "SIGKILL" mean?

There is a bug where minimizing the game will make it crash when restoring it again. Another cause could be that you ran the game in debug mode (the app is tied to the XCode debug session) and you ended the debug session from XCode while it was mimimized on the iPhone.

No I specificly ran it in release mode to make sure that the animation bug occured in that mode as well.

And yes, it crashed when I restored it from being minimized.
