Quick MT bug
Friday, January 29, 2010 at 7:18AM Somehow a bug that we could not test for got past us and apple. Luckily a purchaser pointed it out to us and we where able to pull the app from further sales.
What happened? The geek answer bellow...
"There are three methods in UIApplicationDelegate implementation that have to finish within 5-6 seconds or the iPhone will kill your application (this does not apply to when you are attached with a debugger and on the simulator). The exact time interval doesn't seem to be documented anywhere, but that's what we determined experimentally. There are two on startup, applicationDidFinishLaunching: and application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions, and one on shutdown, applicationWillTerminate.
When these operations are not performed asynchronously it causes a watchdog crash on startup."
So what did we do about it...
We've submitted an update that addresses these issue and have asked apple to expedite the review. Hopefully we can get an update live quickly. To the few costumers who purchased a copy in the few hours the app was live. We're extremely sorry. This was not a bug that would show up on our end. It only becomes apparent in the commercial release. From the moment we first where notified to the moment we had a fix submitted to apple was about 24 hours. We do care and thank you for your patience.
