didFinishLaunchingWithOptions未调用，但应用程序正在运行并面临崩溃

Question

I had seen lots of iPhone apps that running on iPad with buttons name x1 and x2 . I have an application that first I developed it as a universal app but now I changed it to iPhone and expect to run it on iPad with that x1 and x2 style but when I run it on the iPad I see this core data error:

    *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '+entityForName: nil is not a legal NSManagedObjectContext parameter searching for entity name 'Settings''
*** First throw call stack:
(0x187b6659c 0x1987cc0e4 0x18781d278 0x100110984 0x100110ab8 0x100110494 0x1000f4cdc 0x1000d2644 0x1000d2720 0x18c835544 0x18c318844 0x18c3187b0 0x18c834fbc 0x18c832ce8 0x18c344788 0x18c5af238 0x18c5aecec 0x18c5aec44 0x18c5a2578 0x18c5a1fe0 0x18fdb1edc 0x18fdc162c 0x187b1ea28 0x187b1db30 0x187b1c154 0x187a490a4 0x18c3833c8 0x18c37e3c0 0x100108098 0x198e3aa08)
libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException

It is working right on iPhone but I see this crash in iPad?

I have this code in my didFinishLaunchingWithOptions that initialize core data

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {


    //--------- Initialize appearance and database ------------//
    [[BRCoreRepository instance] initializeDatabase:self.managedObjectContext];

// Othe ui codes is here

    return YES;

}

In iPad version the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions it is not calling so the app do not pass the initialize phase of core data and the before showing the viewController it crashes.

Please notice that it is working perfect in iPhone and the problem exist in iPad

This is the stack trace in iPad simulator:

I am wondering how it is possible that didFinishLaunchingWithOptions is not calling but the view is going to show. And where is the best place to initialize the core data and initialize methods to do not face this problems??

Answer 1

Finally I found that it is because of UIFont+SystemFontOverride class.

I use this class to override system font of my application:

#import "UIFont+SystemFontOverride.h"

@implementation UIFont (SystemFontOverride)

#pragma clang diagnostic push
#pragma clang diagnostic ignored "-Wobjc-protocol-method-implementation"

+ (UIFont *)boldSystemFontOfSize:(CGFloat)fontSize {
    //return My Custom Bold Font;
}

+ (UIFont *)systemFontOfSize:(CGFloat)fontSize {
    //return My Custom Normal Font;
}

#pragma clang diagnostic pop

@end

it seem that when we are using iPad with ZoomViewController the method are calling before didFinishLaunchingWithOptions and the problem was that In implementation of boldSystemFontOfSize and systemFontOfSize I was using a repository that is initializing at didFinishLaunchingWithOptions
