Notifications make app crash

Fodder76

Hey there,

So I've noticed when I'm testing out my game on my iTouch, anytime I get a notification from another game (for example, its my turn in Words With Friends), my app freezes.

Obviously this is not acceptable. My question is, is the fault somehow mine? OR is this the standard behavior of a Gamesalad App?

I guess what I really want to know is, what can I do about it?

Thanks!

I've had this happen in the viewer, but it's fine in an adhoc build.

What kind of testing are you doing? (adhoc?Viewer?)

Additionally, what model iPod Touch do you have?

Oh ok, that's much better news than I was expecting.

I am currently using the viewer, not an AdHoc. So your words have given me wings. Thanks!

Oh and QS, I have a 3G iTouch.

I just published my first game yesterday and I have tested the final version from the App Store. I am getting reports of the game hanging when the user receives notifications while playing. Not every notification will cause my game to hang. When it does hang, the background music continues to play but the actors and controls become unresponsive.

Any advice is appreciated.
