numerous complaints that my app is freezing

Hi,
I recently released my ipad app (wine glass hd) and have had numerous complaints that it is freezing
and simply not launching.

It works great on the 2 ipads I've tried and in the simulator. This is very frustrating as I feel it's not under my control.

The app is free for the weekend.
I would really appreciate it if you could check it out for me:

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wine-glass-hd/id490858996?ls=1&mt=8

I was really excited to change over from Gamesalad but my first review was a refund request which is quite an anti-climax

Help!
Thanks
Alex

Hi Alex

I downloaded your app. I must say that it is a very nice idea!!!

Unfortunately I can report to you that it also crashes on my ipad 2 w. ios 5.0.
I am able to play with the first 6 glasses when the app starts, but as soon as i press the keys at the bottom of the screen or the "wine menu" it freezes... and I have to force close the app in ios dock to be able to start it up again.

Another thing is your app is locked to the wrong landscape orientation for ipad 2... flip the orientation to landscape left.

Good luck. Jacob

Thanks Jacob!

I really appreciate you taking the time to post this and thanks for the advice!

I'll address the orientation issue and hopefully ansca can chime in on the crash report.

I haven't a clue what it could mean and I'm using the latest stable build too. Arf

Hi Alex,

I just downloaded your app and can't get past the first screen. I can't get anything to happen no matter what I do. I'm on an iPad 2.

On one attempt to reopen it I got nothing but a black screen.

I'm sorry to see this happen to you. I haven't released any apps yet so I'll be watching close to see what you find so we can all learn from it.

Good luck

Al

These crash reports are very cryptic to me too, but sometimes I get some clues by go0lge searching with them.
Let me know if you find the bug. I would like to try the other wines :-)

I didn't expect to have to troubleshoot appstore approved apps but I'm not giving up on Corona just yet...

Fingers crossed

So the crash log here has "WineGlass failed to resume in time" which means Apple's watch dog process killed the process because it wasn't responsive.

The top of the stack shows that we are inside Apple's OpenAL implementation. I'm not sure where exactly. I need to know the exact Corona version number you used to build it.

Everybody should be aware (if not already), that there are serious bugs in Apple's OpenAL in iOS 5.0. We spent several months trying to work around them. I thought we finally worked around them well enough to avoid the serious crashes, freezes, and killed audio the bug(s) were causing, but they are ultimately just work arounds. We have been telling you developers to file Apple bug reports immediately on all regression problems like these (particularly if you are running the latest iOS beta so Apple has a chance to fix the problem before shipping, otherwise we are stuck with messes like iOS 5.0 which was sadly entirely avoidable if just one our users had reported the bug when they first found it in iOS 5 beta 4). It might be your bug is related to this, though we really need a reproducible test case to find out. If you can submit a bug report with us including code/resources that can reproduce the problem, we can look at it further.

Hi Ewing,

I'm using Version 2011.704 (2011.12.8).

I will submit a bug report complete with the code/resources.
I don't have access to my ipad right now but will upgrade to iOS 5 (yikes) and find out.

Thanks
Alex
