Hi Jens

We're nearly at the end of submitting our app, but during our testing phase we're experiencing intermittent problems with the synchronisation.

The app is a turn based game and the problem is with the updating on the other person's device after a turn has been sent to it. At times it won't refresh the UI and you need to crash out of the app to get the UI to update. This doesn't happen every time, but more often than not.

Any ideas why it wouldn't update, but crashing out and restarting the app does every time?

Thanks

Andy

It’s hard to tell why from that description alone. I would start by turning on logging to see what changes are happening. CouchCocoa logging should be enough, to start with — it’ll let you know when CouchLiveQuery objects update, or when CouchModels reload.
