[BUG] Black screen on iPad in 640x960 resolution

[MJK]

Has this been reported already?

When I build a universal app in 640x960 resolution and try to run it on iPad, I get a black screen. The app is running on the background but it fails to show up. When I change the orientation at runtime, the app either becomes visible for a short while, stays visible but doesn'r react, or stays visible and works normally.

Small video to demonstrate it:



When I change the resolution to 768x1024, this issue doesn't occur.

Build R256.12, iOS 4.3, iPad 1.

Can you try with the beta 5 and see if it still happens?

[MJK]

Tried with beta 5, but actually now Xcode throws the following error in CRunFlocking.h:

GCC 4.2 Error
Statically allocated instance of Objective-C class 'BoidType'

Does it say anything to you? I'm still stuck with iOS 4.3 so I need use that as deployment target. Is this causing some troubles with the latest beta, or what might be behind this issue? I've tried to clean the project, etc.

[MJK]

So, just to confirm, I get the same error now with every project I try to build with beta 5.Tried with a blank app with just one active object, no events, and I get the same result.

What should I try to get rid of this error?

Below some more details:

MJK: Which iOS SDK are you using? It might be compiler specific if that is allowed.

It works with iOS6 SDK (using LLVM compiler 4.1 - recommended)

I get the error if I switch compiler to LLVM GCC 4.2.

Also can I get an example file of the black screen bug?

Sure, I will provide it as soon as I get the Xcode working again.

iOS 4.3 still is my deployment target, I'm stuck with that until I can afford a new Mac for development.

So will iOS exporter still support older SDKs, i.e. is there a way for me to get rid of this error? Do you know if I can change the compiler somehow without updating SDK, OS or Xcode?
If not, can I install older beta (I think beta 2 or 3 still worked) over the current build of MMF to continue development with older SDK? I need to at least break even before investing into new hardware.
