为什么我的更新应用程序仅在IOS8上启动时崩溃？

Question

I recently (October 2nd, 2014) submitted a new version of our app for IOS8. Previously it launched and ran on IOS8, but had some bugs, which I fixed before resubmission:

• Upgraded Stripe's Pod, because I was using an older version which began to experience an SSL error with IOS8.
• Updated my CLLocationManager code to use kCLAuthorizationStatusAuthorizedWhenInUse (because IOS8 isn't backwards compatible for requesting the kCLAuthorizationStatusAuthorized status).
• Added a new, non-critical Swift view controller, to test using Swift in the same project/interoperability.

The app was granted expedited review, but when the new version finally appeared in the app store I was in for a nasty surprise.

The app crashes on launch when on IOS8 devices. Whether an upgrade, or fresh install (delete app + data & re-download), but it doesn't do this on IO7.

I've reached out to Apple for help resolving this, because the binary I sent them worked fine on my IO8 device, and my other IOS8 testers through Testflight—as well as on IOS7. The submitted binary should launch fine, but it won't.

Some research:

• This post citing a similar problem was created today at 1:34am GTM, before being deleted. Thanks Google Cache.
• Back in June of 2012 Marco Arment discovered that Apple was messing with his submitted binaries , causing them to "crash immediately". Not super useful, but it's interesting that this is potentially a problem.

Does anyone know what else could be causing this, or even how to go about debugging the issue? I'm perplexed because of how it runs perfectly over Testflight, etc.

This was a bug in the code signing process on the App Store, and has been fixed. The affected apps have had their code signatures fixed and are being pushed out as updates.
