Can't figure out why my app is crashing (xcode output included)

[Bipolar_Games]

So I'm not very familiar with Macs or iPhones, so I don't know how to debug them when issues happen. My app was working fine for a while, and then suddenly it started crashing. Here is the "output" that XCode showed me upon crashing (link is a screenshot, output in "code" box below):

It looks like it has something to do with the sound playing at the time the of crash, but the exact same sounds were working perfectly previously!
If anyone can help me out with this I would really appreciate it!

Edit: I took out the sounds and now it works fine in the iPhone Simulator on my Mac, but it has the same issue on my iPod.

[Bipolar_Games]

Hmm. It appears I did not paste the entire Output box here. Check out the screenshot link to see the rest of the output.

[Bipolar_Games]

Edit: rebuilt the app from scratch, copying over all assets, and it seems to work fine on my iPod 4. These devices still are having the same issue: iPad 5.0 and iPhone 5.0, all sizes.


I did some more tests, and tried the app on all the simulators and on my iPod 4 (running iOS 6.1.3).

On the iPod 4, the app doesn't get past the "made with mmf" screen, and displays this information in xcode:

//
//  main.m
//  RuntimeIPhone
//
//  Created by Francois Lionet on 08/10/09.
//  Copyright __MyCompanyName__ 2009. All rights reserved.

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
int retVal = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, @"RuntimeIPhoneAppDelegate");
    [pool release];
    return retVal;
}

(the bold line is highlighted with the information "Thread 1: signal SIGABRT" on the right)

and this information is displayed below, in the "output" box:

The app works fine in these simulators:
iPad 5.1 (non-retina), iPad 5.1 (retina), iPhone 6.1 (retina 4"), iPad 6.1 (non-retina)

And has issues in these simulators (some have different outputs, none will start the game past the "made with mmf" screen):
iPad 5.0, iPhone 5.0, iPhone 5.1, iPhone 5.1 (retina 3.5"), iPad 6.1 (retina), iPhone 6.1 (non-retina), iPhone 6.1 (retina 3.5") (see edit up top for update on these)

I'm so confused

Here's another error output from the iPhone 5.1 simulator:

Try taking out the numbers from your project name, or take out any third party extensions that may not be compatible with earlier iOS versions (such as shake extension etc.)

Edit: that "CRASH: *** -[NSConcreteData getBytes:range:]: range {2684354560, 1} exceeds data length 2426730" seems to be related to texture sizes or something from some Googling. Are you loading any large external files via including them in Binary data or from the xCode resources file?

[Bipolar_Games]

I took all numbers out of the file/project names/titles, and these are the extensions I use:
Window Control, INI, Clickteam Movement Controller, Layer, String Parser, iOS

No external files, though I do have a couple 1080x300 Active Objects that I use to display the title of the game. Would that affect anything in the iPhone/iPad 5.0 simulators?

So now it appears to run about 50% of the time. If I try to Run it on any of the simulators, and it fails, I can press Stop and then try running it again and it works most of the time. All the simulators are working now... just not all the time, randomly crashing before the first frame appears.

I'm more confused

Here's the latest crash output:

[RhysD]

Are you trying to load any large external files, like lists or ini's?

[Bipolar_Games]

No large external files, just a small ini. I've found that uninstalling from the emulated device and trying again generally works after 1 or 2 tries with the 5.1 and up devices, but I'm still having issues with 5.0.

[Anders]

Any chance you can send me your Xcode project with all the nessecary files? I will debug it then

[Bipolar_Games]

Here it is, thanks for checking it out for me!
