iPad/iPod arm64 crashes

rpidstryhach · January 23, 2015, 1:47am

Hello there,

When Apple guys reviewed my game, it crashed on every iPad device + iPod touch. My sponsor confirmed it was failing on iPad but after a few hours sent me some iPad screenshots. It runs fine randomly, looks like memory allocation problem.

Of course, they gave me a crash log to figure out what’s happening. Sponsor said it runs fine when he’s logged in to GameCenter (I’m using gamecenter extension), but I think it’s a coincidence (though might be a good idea to handle auth failed event too:).

Here’s a part of crashlog. It seems failing on createShader method. Please note that this happened on arm64 architecture, so maybe it has something with the fact, that arm64 support was introduced quite recently. I’ll try to test it on armv7-only asap. Also, I can create an issue on GitHub if someone confirms this is a bug and not just me. Thanks in advance.

UPD:
It failed on following devices:

iPad 2 Wifi running iOS 8.1
iPad 4 Wifi running iOS 8.1
iPad Air 2 Wifi running iOS 8.1
iPad Air Wifi running iOS 8.1
iPad Mini 3 Wifi running iOS 8.1
iPod Touch Fifth Generation running iOS 8.1

Full crashlog is available here.

Hmm, I will wonder if this is renderer related, or if it is something else in a different thread (like GameCenter)

Were you able to reproduce yourself? I would wonder if there’s a way to isolate the issue. You could possibly do a GameCenter-free version for them to test as well

rpidstryhach · January 26, 2015, 10:31pm

Hi again,

So, at this point I’ve made builds only for armv7 architecture. Sponsor uploaded it to Testflight, they reviewed it (that’s why it took some time). He said everything was running smoothly on iPad, but then informed me that it crashed again after he tried to restart the game a couple of times (5 tries or so). Will get crashlog tomorrow, so I’ll confirm if it’s still the same problem and if it’s not arm64 related this time.

My friend (who compiled builds for me on his Macbook) told me, that he found some threads with the same crashlog, but not related to OpenFL or Haxe at all. As I understood it has something with “trying too free memory that was already cleaned at that point”. Also, it seems that problem occurs on iPad devices only. Sponsors restarted it many times on iPhone - no problems whatsoever. Looks like it failing on render thread, at least to me.

I’ll get my hands on my mac tomorrow and will try to reproduce or isolate things on a simulator. I wonder if it can be something in my game code. Though it runs flawlessly on Android. And iPhone is fine too. Weird nasty bug =(

I did resolve a bug when using Capabilities.language, not sure if it would be that, or perhaps something similar. That was a “double free” bug, but should be resolved in the current releases

rpidstryhach · February 4, 2015, 11:15am

A-and, I’m here again. I’ve built Gamecenter-free version for testing as you suggested, and it’s working just fine. Seems that GC extension is a problem here. Though, arm64-free build crashes far less frequently, and this time Apple’s review team rejected the game because of absence of “Restore purchases” button :/. It didn’t crash during review (4 builds). Also, I noticed that with gamecenter the game hangs in iOS simulator as well. I can do lazy init of gamecenter service ingame to quickly confirm that it causes the problem. Maybe it has something with recent issue on your repo? Thanks

singmajesty · February 4, 2015, 7:49pm

Check out the repo again, there’s a patch in there that helps resolve problems, such as when the user does not have Gamecenter set up.

We’ll be doing a new release soon if this resolves the issues
