crash on phonegap app startup

[Calgacus]

when I try to run my ap in my browser I now get a SIGABRT right on
this line in AppDeleagte.m
int retVal = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, @"AppDelegate");

When I click continue it stays there, maybe retrying, not sure.

tHe last thing I changed in my app was just some javascript code
relating to my url history and I don't see how it could cause a crash
right off the get go when my app is still on the PhoneGap splash
screen.

Anyone else see this ?
I am on xcode 4, phonegap 1.1.0 running in iphone sim for iOS 4.3

[Calgacus]

Sorry I meant in the file main.m

[Calgacus]

a bit deeper, in the AppDelegate.m file the sigabrt seems to stem from
this line 74:
return [ super webViewDidFinishLoad:theWebView ];

the other code i can see is all assembler. eg in
UIApplication_main : 0x0007bc93 <+1160> xor %eax,%eax

[Calgacus]

here is what my output console has to say about whatever is going on:

I am seeing the exact same problem here after upgrading from PhoneGap 0.9.6 to 1.1.0. PLease post here if you make any progress, I will do the same.

My stack trace is precisely the same & happens at startup:

2011-10-12 11:48:08.011 ngc[1500:307] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[__NSCFDictionary setObject:forKey:]: attempt to insert nil value (key: gap)'

...etc

[Calgacus]

Will do,
BTW, I just tried it in xcode 4.2 with ios5 and same the thing
happened.
I guess I'll have to recreate my project again and see if that helps,
i hate to do that though, seems like there is a bug that should be
fixed rather than just worked around.

[Hugo]

My problem went away - I couldn't pinpoint exactly the source of the problem, but the combination of restarting my Mac & cleaning up my Framework Search Path (Target > Build Settings > Search paths), seemed to have fixed it

[Calgacus]

what did you set your search path to?

[Calgacus]

I tried recreating my project and after copying in my www and adding
my external urls I now get this error when i try to run : Automatic
Reference Counting Issue: ARC forbids explicit message send of
'dealloc'

I created a new phonegap proj wuith just the default www and it runs
without eoor. what setting or file is corrupted?

[Calgacus]

getting these error messages in my console again. I reverted to my
original since mak=ing new projects did not fix the issue. Could it
have something to do with using architecture armv7 instead of armv6?
If so how do I change it to armv6? I am using the latest xcode 4.2
with iOS 5, it doesn't seem to have iOS 4.x SDKs available. Can I get
them separetly and install to xcode?

I also worry about the build process copying over the www folder into
my project, If I use the same folder to store my ownfiles then won't
my own index.html file get overwritten?

[Calgacus]

about the www folder, I see the copy script now, so I changed my www
folder to be in that place instead of where I had it (...dev/myapp/
myapp/www) to (.../dev/myapp/www) so that's ok i guess but I still
cannot run my app in simulator or device. It seems to crash even
before finding my index.html file, is there some setting somewhere I
can check to see if it is looking in the right place for that?

[Hugo]

The framework search path should point to the directory that contains PhoneGap.framework. After a standard install the path should be  /Users/Shared/PhoneGap/

(In my case it was a custom location, because I had to rebuild phonegap to workaround another issue)

[Calgacus]

Thats what i have.

[Calgacus]

I made a new project with ARC turned off and I still get the exact
same crash, this with just the new project default index.html file -
none of my own code involved at all.

[Calgacus]

diggin a bit deeper I see that the argv in main.m contains
*argv char

* 0xbfffee1c /Users/myname/Library/ApplicationSupport/

Iphonesimulator.4.2/Applications/C9E4AC93-BDD6-4AFD-8
but the full folder name is C9E4AC93-BDD6-4AFD-8837-BA018DBE4CF2, so
could xcode be passing inthe wrong folder name? or just truncating
it in the watch list?
Below that line the there is this:
**argv char 47 '/'

When I create a new phonegap app should I use automatic reference
counting or uncheck that option on project creation?

[Calgacus]

I changed my from /Users/Shared/PhoneGap/Frameworks to /Users/Shared/
xxPhoneGap/Frameworks just to see what happens and i get the same
error, enven if i have nothing there i get the same error. I gotta
think that the system is not finding my PhoneGap framework.

[Calgacus]

OK, here's what I seem to have to do: make a new project WITH A
DIFFERENT NAME than my project. even if I delete the old project
files and directories whenI create a new project by the same name I
get this crash. By changing the name it seems to work. So where is
the reference to the project saved on disk if not in my dev folder?
it still gotta be somewhere for this sort of conflict to happen
doesn't it?

[Shazron]

Thanks for the report. Filed: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1166
