Why does my iPhone app crash after re-opening it?

Question

I created an iPhone app with XCode and Phonegap.

Launching the app works perfectly fine but when I press the home button of the iPhone (which puts the app into the background) and then open the app again (to bring it to foreground), it crashes.

This is what the logs say:

2012-10-31 14:37:21.359 [810:907] -[AppDelegate myFunc]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x1e064220

libc++abi.dylib: terminate called throwing an exception

The image attached shows the line of code where it stops.

What's going on?

Answer 1

It appears you're invoking a method called myFunc that doesn't exist on your AppDelegate.

This will cause the application to terminate. Check that function exists or remove the invokation.

When you bring an app from the background to the foreground, different methods are invoked on the delegate, so your call to MyFunc might exist there.

Check

applicationDidBecomeActive

and

applicationWillEnterForeground

Answer 2

I might be wrong, did you add some logic in

- (void)applicationWillEnterForeground:(UIApplication *)application
- (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application

And there is something you have released? And also did you check with this?-[AppDelegate myFunc]
