app crashes on xCode simulator (iOS 8) for some (not all) devices

Hi,

i just wanted to test my app (before iTunes deploy) for the new iPhones. Installing the app on the simulator devices works great with:

xcrun simctl install booted /Users/xxx/Desktop/MathsArtists.app

 

But my app is not working on all simulated devices. 

On following devices everything is fine:

iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, iPad 2, iPad Retina

On this devices the app crashes:

iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6, iPad Air

Does anybody has an idea why? Here is the console log on the iPhone 5s simulator:

I also tested the corona “Bridge” demo example with the same result. I have a MacBook Air with 4GB memory.

Would be someone with an iPhone 6 Plus or/and iPhone 6 be so kind to try my app on his phone? Its a really nice app for kids :-) https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/maths-artists/id912164529?mt=8&uo=4

So i could send a TestFlight invitation.

Thanks,

Hi Thomas

Did you get anywhere on this ? I am hitting the exact same problem and getting the same errors about DirtyJetsamMemoryLimit

Can anybody help ?

I’m having the same issue, similar console readout to Thomas. Has anyone tried running an app with this issue on one of the devices it’s crashing on the simulator for? My app’s crashing on the iPhone 5s simulator but I’ve tested on an actual 5s with no issues.
