App Crash when Accessing App From Notification Bar (iOS 8)

Solar2D iOS
#1

Hi guys,

When my app receives a notification, it appears in the notification bar. But when I tap on it, the app tries to launch but crashes instead. The app works fine when loaded normally. Tested it on a iOS7 device, and shows the similar behaviour.

Anyone knows what’s the problem of the app crashing when trying to load it from the notification bar ?

I am using Corona 2014.2453 (latest) on a Mac

Here’s a snippet of the crash log i got from Xcode (from actual iPad device).

Is this a push notification or a local notification?

If it’s a push, are you setting any data in your custom table?

Thanks

I have this behavior too. I thought it was connected to GameThrive, are you using GameThrive by any chance? 

#4

This is a push notification. No custom data sent. How would sending custom data interfere with it ?

I am not using GameThrive. I am using my own, as I need some custom stuff.

Sample data sent to APN before encryption is below. Note that I am using sandbox mode and sending it to “ssl://gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com:2195”

{"aps":{"alert":"New","badge":0,"sound":"default"},"custom":null}

Custom data if it was malformed could interfere with the decoding of the JSON.  But that doesn’t seem like its an issue.  Can you put some print’s in your Corona app and see if it’s crashing before your app starts or if  you’re getting into your code some where?

Keep in mind that if your app is not running at all, your code in your “LaunchArgs” will processed.  If your app is in memory, your notification event handler will fire.

I tried to put a print right at the start of main.lua, and i don’t see anything in the logs.

I suspect it has something to do with the notification, as when I tried with another notification, the app launches fine. I will try to drill it down in the next few days…

At this point, I would suggest that you try to build a minimal sample that has this crash and file a bug report.  The engineers will need to have a way to duplicate the problem so you may need to include instructions on how to send the push so they can look at it.   Make sure to include the build.settings and config.lua as well as any assets needed to compile and run the app.

yosu, the error you’re getting might be because you’re setting the value of “custom” to null. You should just omit the “custom” key/value pair if you aren’t sending any custom data.

On a side note, I help work on GameThrive. Feel free to get in touch if you’re considering using our service but we’re missing a feature that you need. (We do already support custom data if that’s what you’re looking for).

jonjonsson, are you still having any crashing issues?

Thanks for asking. It is fine now.
