Tabs disappear

[mbritt]

My app runs without errors, but as soon as it opens in the simulator or on my iPhone, the tabs along the bottom appear for a moment and then disappear?  Anyone know why or what to do?

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael,

Sorry to here that you are having issues. One possibility for why your
tab bar is disappearing could be that something is being loaded over
the view that has the tab bar in it. Have you added any custom view
controllers to your app? If you'd like, you could send us you app
delegate code and our engineers could take a look at it and probably
tell you what's wrong.

Thanks for using TapLynx and let me know if you have any more questions,

Tyson

Did this get resolved? I'm having the same issue.

I'm using three custom view controllers: TA_MapKitPlugin, OOZWebView, and TAStreamingPlayerViewController. Everything was working fine since mid-May until about a week ago, when this started happening.

Hi Colin,

I never heard back from the original poster on this one so I'm not sure if my suggestion was a solution or not. You said that yours was working until about a week ago, did you change the version of TapLynx that you are using? Unless you downloaded the new library, nothing could have changed on the TapLynx side. Please let me know and we will figure this problem out.

Sorry for the issue and thanks for using TapLynx,

Tyson

I was the original poster on this topic.  Sorry I haven't gotten back on this.  I was going to do what Tyson suggested in response to my post, but then I decided that I needed to update the app to the latest library.  I did that and the problem went away.  I never did find out why it was happening.

[Tyson Sparks]

Ok great thanks Mike!

Looks like the newest version of the TapLynx library resolves this issue. Please download at TapLynx.com and see this page, http://wiki.taplynx.com/wiki/Upgrading/Updating, for details on updating your project with the latest version of TapLynx.

Thanks!

[Colin]

I'm not so sure. I have been using the latest version all along (1.5.1) and I've just triple-checked everything and I'm still getting the problem sporadically on both a 4S and a 3GS, each running 5.1.1. 

I'm trying to discern a pattern for when it happens, but haven't found one yet.

Ok sorry about that but we can get this one worked out. It looks like you are using a few of the third party view controllers that are out there. Did you modify them at all or just drop them in? You don't need to do anything in the code to make these work. 

I know you said you haven't found a pattern for when this happens yet, but when it does happen, is it when you push a tab icon? I'm having some trouble reproducing this error so any information on this would be great.

Thanks and sorry for the delay,

Tyson

Seems to be working just fine Tyson.  Thanks!

[Colin]

Just to conclude this thread - I haven't seen the problem in over a month so I guess somewhere an old library was kicking around. All good now, thanks.

I think I may have found a pattern for this.  This issue cropped again on us.  Well it turns out, in our case, that when our NGConfig.plist file had invalid XML characters then the tabs would disappear.  Makes sense since The NGConfig.plist file drives tab creation.  So, we had and & and not &amp; in one of our feeds.

Hope this help someone from pulling their hair out or chasing a ghost!!!

[mbritt]

Yup.  I'm getting this too.  Looks like it's still happening.

Also getting reports of crashing.  I hope an update is coming....

Couldn't decide if this warranted a new thread or not. However with TapLynx 1.5.2.a, Xcode 4.5.1 and iOS SDK 6 I'm seeing this problem. It appears that on first launch when it does a check for the network config the tabs can go away. Subsequent launches or if I turn off the webconfig check seem to not cause the problem.

Anyway, hope this can be looked at as part of the update being done for iPhone 5 and iOS 6 support.

Michael,

The TapLynx Beta that I uploaded the other day seems to have gotten deleted for some reason. 

Below you will find another link to the new library. Since this is a Beta we are working to resolve some issues with posting to Twitter and video only working in portrait mode. A fix for those issues should be out soon. Other than those two issues, this build works great and provides support for iPhone 5 and iOS 6.  

TapLynx 1.5.3.a: http://bit.ly/TapLynx-153-Beta

Please let us know if you have any other comments or questions.
