You could be interested too in how to upload binaries if your application has white spaces in its name, here is:
http://useyourloaf.com/blog/2011/1/3/app-store-whitespace-validation-failure-with-xcode-325.html
the steps are:

• Set your sign to your distribution profile.
• Build and Archive.
• From organizer, click on "Share" and not on "Validate" or "Submit". Create an IPA file and save it.
• Now send it using the "Application Loader" that is on the folder "/Developer/Applications/Utilities".
• 

It has been solved using XCode 3.2.5 with SDK 4.2 using the "Other Linker Flags" "-all_load". I think the latest Apple works are not very fine, OS X Lion has many bugs and the SDKs have failures like the app works fine in local devices but when uploaded to App Store it crash.

I recommend use this if you want to be sure your App will be approved if it works for you, because with latest SDKs is not sure at all.

Here is:

I have to say that it runs fine on an iPhone 4 with AdHoc compilation, as only fails the App Store submited version, this is what it makes me to suspect it can be the link problem, I mean, the "-all_load" flag and using Xcode 3.2.5 with SDK 4.2 could solve the problem.

Could it be the flag "-all_load"?, I am looking others with similar problems (crash at start) and their reports look like:

all the times the thread that crashes are something like:

See that after the "pthread_kill"+"abort" there are things, on my one there is nothing, are libs loaded then, or is the way GLB works?, this info could help me a lot.

But I ahve another GLB project and it has a crash repot like this:

It loads other things before crash.

I am using XCode 4 with SDK 4.3, this really affects GLBasic?, should I try XCode 3.2.6 with SDK 4.3 and the flag "-all_load" or it doesn't matter?.

For STDOUT, you mean NSLog()?

I hace received this report from iTunes Connect:

We found that your app crashed on iPad 2 and iPhone 4 running iOS 4.3.5, which is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.

Your app crashed when we:

1. Launch the app
2. The app crashes

I have 3 crash reports, all 3 with this part in common:

How it can be only on these devices?

I am going to look at the .dSYM file but I have not much idea about this.

Update: attached the crash files with symbolication.

[attachment deleted by admin]

I am using the lastest GLB and there is no PAUSEMUSIC command, it is in help but not in the editor.

OK I'll work on it, in a few days, please excuse me because these days are some crazy for me, too busy

[open another file]

I had this problem too, a code that works fine in Windows on iOS crash with the output in console:

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

wrt-request: fopen("", "wb") failed
I follow the code and saw that while loading binary data from a file, I called a function that open another file, and then it crashes on iOS.
The code is something like:

Code (glbasic) Select Expand


LOCAL l_file%=GENFILE()
IF OPENFILE(l_file, g_SaveDir$+"stages.sav",1)
//version
LOCAL l_version%, l_count%
READULONG l_file, l_version
//stages info
LOCAL l_stage_info AS TStageInfo
READLONG l_file, l_count
FOR i%=0 TO l_count-1
l_stage_info.LoadFromFile(l_file)
StagesInfoSetData(stages_info[], l_stage_info, FALSE, FALSE, FALSE, FALSE)
NEXT
CLOSEFILE l_file
ENDIF


And the function StagesInfoSetData(stages_info[], l_stage_info, FALSE, FALSE, FALSE, FALSE) opens a file because when I set data for stages it saves another file for sending data. Now I added the last boolean that if you se it is set as FALSE, if FALSE then it doesn't save this file, because in the inital load it should not be created.

Then, I think on iOS only 1 file can be open at the same time.

But it will not work on sandboxed devices, like iPhone and probably Android, so you should search for another solution in your program.

[ES]

I remember I used 3D lighting much time ago with bad results too, you only get normal render results when lighting is OFF. It could be because the OpenGL ES that uses Q16 (fixed-point) format and it not receive the values it expects.

inplatform option, set to 1024x768. Done.
Now Apple will reject it, because you have to provide both orientations (on left side and on right side). Read the gravity with GETJOYX() and use SETORIENTATION 1 or 3 according. Done.

There is need to select them in the XCode 4 project?, I mean, Apple looks at the binary metadata or they test in real usage rotating a real device?.

[reporting]

Project updated (look at the first post), what I have tested:

- Device not supporting GC: all fine, there is no crash.

- Device suppotring GC: iPad. All reporting features works well, tested with a real app project with GC configured and the scores and achievements reports work fine, both on iPad and on iPhone mode. Note: when I talk about iPhone mode it means runing the app compiled as iPhone only on an iPad, not a real iPhone.
Showing tables:
iPad mode: leaderboards doesn't show, achievements works fine.
iPhone mode: both shows correctly, no animation when hiding.

I have tested it trying to force it to crash, with a long sequence of continuous show/hide, show/hide..., sliding the finger while showing and while hiding, etc. But all tests was on iPad (both iPad and iPhone modes).

I have simplified the project so it only have 3 buttons, "Add score", "show leader" and "show achievs" for evading crashes for using reports to an undefined/unconfigured GC app.
Then what I need is someone to test ONLY the "show" (both) on a real iPhone, trying to force it like I said before (show/hide, show/hide, show/hide, sliding fingers while shows/hides, etc.) and report the results.
The "add socre" button is used to see if continue to having control over the app when hiding a panel. The buttons respond to the event "lift up" the finger, because I noticed the boards can block the control if we have pressed on the screen at the moment they appear. So responding to this event we are sure there is no finger on the screen when we show the board.

It could be the SDL libs used for sound. I attached a simple project for testing.
