Crash in app store review

[Dave Dyer]

My most recent submission to the apple app store was rejected

because it crashed, apparently before any of my code was run.

I'm hoping it's just a fluke, but I'm offering it here in case a pattern

later emerges, and there's some underlying codename1 problem.

The binary runs fine for me (loaded by testflight)

The crash reports are hard to decipher, but the relevant clue seems

to be "address size fault"

Please keep us posted on this, these are indeed hard to fix without a reproducible error.

Good news; I resubmitted the same binary, and it sailed through. So my working assumption is that

the device the reviewer used had a damaged software environment.  Lets hope it's not something

more sinister.  I've noticed that reviewers sometimes use "future" versions of IOS.
