Sounds like it might need a bug filing in bugzilla. Especially if you
can make a small solution which reproduces the problem

 Ok,

 Did find the source... It is related to a UDPClient.Close() problem.

 Disposal in certain circumpstance seems to lock the process and nothing can
 bring it back except restarting the IDevice.

 Looking for a solution right now.

 Keep you posted...

Yeah,

well yes, I think it is related to that other post on which the
Socket.Close() is actually creating a complete lock over the app...

Im trying to force a crash of the app if it occurs by having an thread which
give 5 seconds to app to terminate. If not then if called and unsafe DLL to
crash vonlontarely the app...

Found that code on the web

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport (libc)]
static extern int strlen (IntPtr zero);
static unsafe void Tick ()
{
int zero = 0;
int* z = zero;
// This is so that strlen is initialized
// (so no/fewer locks are required later)
strlen ((IntPtr) z); 
// The sleep interval can be modified to sleep
// until you're sure the app has hung.
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep (5000);

// Create a crash report
strlen (IntPtr.Zero);
}

Even that could not solve it... I even try to kill the task by using the
on/off and home screen button, but not luck there either... (I guess im not
killing the good process as bug occurs when app is restarted and clearly the
faulty process isnt the new one, it is the previous one that didnt close all
the way thru.)

This one is really challenging...

[MonoTouch] Black Screen of death

2012-08-07 Thread jazzyjef2002
Hi,

Just got a very strage problem with one of my apps. 

Apps has been terminated, going thru AppDelegate.WillTerminate, which
basicaly only console.write that is has gone thru that function.

No crash, nothing. But when I restart it back, the only thing Im getting is
a BlackScreen (No loading screen in that app) and it stick there foreever...
It is like the 17 seconds of loading is not even killing it. Nothing works
except restarting the device. And Im unable to Debug it since Debug session
has been killed when terminated and as soon as I start it again, then it
start backk 100% of time!

It feels like something is remaining even if app has been terminated... And
this is random so doesnt occurs every time.

Any idea?


Thanks

Hi,

Reading Yes, Writing No.

Writing are only done on special events which occurs later in the code.

Thanks

What is really really strange is that if Im looking within Instruments,

Process is not there anymore, and when I restart it (Going thru the black
screen) it does appear on the list of process...

Weird...

Re: [MonoTouch] Black Screen of death

Still Priliminary, but so far it seems to work...

It seems it is related to compilation method.

I was trying to achieved a Arm6 +  Arm7 compilation, and it was creating
that black screen.

Since I switched it back to Arm7 only then it seems to work...

Will do further testing but so far it looks good...

Anyone got this issue?
