Crash Log Debugging

Post by Kevvy » Wed May 13, 2015 6:50 am

Hi Guys,

My app is currently crashing almost every second time I open it on an iPad. The crash logs doesn't seem to give a lot of info, but I have read that LC 7 has issues with opening db connections and this causes random crashes and if you have accelerated rendering enabled. According to this thread it would have been fixed in 7.0.5 -> http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15084 after installing 7.0.5 RC2 my app crashes nonstop as in it is impossible to open it.

How do you guys go about debugging the crash logs or your app using livecode ?
And then also how do you guys use local and remote db connections in your apps, do you open and close the connection per query or cleanup those connections in a specific way?

Thanks!

Kevvy.

Hi All

I'm bumping this because I think it is relevant to most of us and I would like to see a reply from the usual suspects :) before it falls off the end of the page never to be seen again.

I don't deal with crash logs at all, they are always engine bugs and require a bug report. So I just send it in along with a copy of the stack.

That said, a new version was released today that may help, so download that and see.
