Further testing uncovered that
play empty
is the culprit... using this command on iOS cause some corruption that cause
the next request to
play someSoundFile
to crash the app.
BUT if you do
play nadanada # a bogus variable with no content.
the native behavior which causes the player to stop in order to start another
one... seems to work
I had only to change that one line in the script which was meant to stop the playing from
"play empty" to "play nadanada" and everything works now.
I have the following behavior running in a series of buttons that play
audio which is local to the app.
They work fine on the desktop (OS X) but in iOS if I click on any
button too soon, the app crashes.
I've done some tests and I have to wait at about 5.5 seconds before
clicking again, if we allow the app to have this time... then it does
not crash.
This "must wait" delta is more than users would want to experience.
It seems to be coming from toggling between
play empty
play soundfile
play empty
play soundfile
it too rapid a succession...
play empty
# wait 5.5 seconds
play soundfile
# wait 5.5 seconds
play empty
# wait 5.5 seconds
play soundfile
# wait 5.5 seconds
and everything works fine.
It's almost as if iOS needs to clear something in the mobile player...
before you can reset it. i don't think any of the other
processes/handlers in my script are causing this...
Anyone have any clues?

UI or stop the sound:
