^i just copied all this since i am not familiar with coding in xcode and don`t know how relevant it could be.

The crash is on the first menu of the game, there is a range of extension there
such as ini, iOS, rate me, 3 of the game center objects, and the new ChartBoost control object.
the frame also has a fade in transition (from white).

What is strange is that if i am really quick, it`s plausible to click a button and go to the game before it crashes. And chartboost works fine afterwards, so i don`t think thats the main problem here.

If anyone can think of a trouble shooting solution, please tell. I am only using a macbook air with fusion running under windows bootcamp, so i have to restart the computer each time i test, which is why it`s sometimes hard for me to pin down the exact problem.

edit: The build type is final, and i am deleting the old app and doing a "product - clean" before running. Same error on simulator and device.

Did you drag all of the ChartBoost stuff in, and made sure you entered your App ID and App Signature correctly? Have you tried cleaning the project? Also reboot XCode, your Mac and your device. See if it still happens with a Final XCode Project, otherwise try removing each extension one at a time and then building a Final XCode Project, see if one of those is causing it. I hope it's not my ChartBoost one, I don't allocate any memory, everything happens within scope, so I can't see how ChartBoost Control could cause it...

Try removing the rate-me object, a few of the extensions in the iOS forum are out of date and creating problems for a few users.

I just build and ran my first basic iOS game with the ChartBoost extension featured and I get no SIGABRT errors or anything, so I'm quite certain it isn't the ChartBoost object. Like RhysD said, try removing Rate Me, see if perhaps it's having some issues on iOS6.

Funny thing, looking at your error it seems like something has gone wrong with one of your actives or conditions. Try moving some 'Start of Frame' events to 'Timer is greater than 0'00"01 + Only one action when event loops', see if it still happens, or try removing/moving your first frame, see if perhaps something has been corrupted.

You are right, rate me is the perpetrator i obliviated it from my project and everything works great, no problems with your new extension Dj, except a small yellow string warning. If i manage to break the 300$ threshold on chartboost and actually get paid, then i'll hit that donation button.

i believe the manual rate me url should be "itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewContentsUserReviews?id=#MY_APP_ID&onlyLatestVe rsion=true&pageNumber=0&sortOrdering=1&type=Purple +Software" please correct me if i am wrong. On the forum where i found it, they say it might not work on iPad?

[DistantJ]

The string warning is from something I accidentally left in from debug. You can delete the line if you want, I will be doing so in the Unicode update

The easiest way to link to the App Store is to use App Store Short Links like described here:
https://developer.apple.com/library/...33/_index.html

In the page above the links use http, and such links will open the Safari app which will then redirect to the App Store app. If instead of http you use itms-apps you will avoid the redirects, and the App Store app will open directly. A much better user experience imho.

The short answer is to use this kind of links:
itms-apps://appstore.com/<companyname>
itms-apps://appstore.com/<appname>
itms-apps://appstore.com/<companyname>/<appname>
