Hi,

I just started using SkyDemon for iPad, version 3.0.6.
My iPad is a brand new iPad Air 64 GB LTE.

I have purchased the Germand DFS VFR approach plates as add-on.

Now, when I show an approach plate like Egelsbach's Visual Operation Chart and zoom in a lot and then move the map around, at some point SD will just close.

It sounds like an out of memory exception I read here in the forums earlier; but I don't know how to confirm.
Even worse: Although it is a unreasonable zoom level, SD should never just crash, but rather prevent such upcoming out of memory exceptions...

If you need further information to fix/improve, let me know.

Regards,
Markus

Hi Markus,

I have the same configuration (Hard- & Software) and cannot reproduce the problems you're having. Just tried it with the Egelsbach VOC, but couldn't get the iPad to crash while heavily panning and zooming for some minutes.

Perhaps a new installation will solve your problem.

Best regards
Eric

Hi Eric,

thanks for the info.
I'll try a reinstall later, when I have time. (After that, I need to re-download a lot of plates...)

Anyway: I'd like to find some kind of useful crash report or a like - but I am not into the apple world enough to know, how to retrieve that...

Regards,
Markus

Hi Eric,

I just reinstalled, but the problem remains. (This time only German charts and just EDFE VOC plates installed).
Anyway: you have to really zoom in a lot and move/twist the embedded map a lot and quickly - then it crashes.

So far, it is not a showstopper, but not nice.

Here's a link explaining how to obtain crash reports from iOS devices, for another unrelated product, but the process is the same.

http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/retrieving-crash-reports-on-ios

If there were a way for us to "catch" a forthcoming out-of-memory exception and handle it, of course we would do so. Unfortunately, there is not. We ask iOS to render the PDF, and either that succeeds, or SkyDemon is terminated without warning, it would appear. Your crash report or low memory situation report should confirm.

Hi,

the only "bug" report I can find on the device matching the event is a "LowMemory-....ips" (see below).
That is really a bummer, that you cannot control that, or sandbox it/catch the exception, ...

I still can reproduce that with 3.0.7 by the way, you just have to zoom/pan quick enough on big charts.
(Not very likely in flight, but not impossible by accident)

You're right, it certainly isn't ideal. The request to render the PDF is an atomic operation and if you quickly pan lots of times when a large PDF is onscreen it will result in lots of these options all being run at the same time, I suppose. We'll have a think about it.

Any news on that topic? It still happens with the recent version 3.2.0 on iOS 8.1.2

I again encountered such a crash when I zoomed and panned on the DFS Frankfurt terminal chart the other day in flight. That was not pleasant - and the panning/zooming was not to excessive either. Just one step zooming in and 2-3x moving the chart around. The application froze, the iPad turned black for half a second or so and then I had to restart SkyDemon.

Seems like those low-memory crashes are now called Jetsam-Events on iOS 8+...

Is there nothing you can do about it or at lease a work around?!

Markus

Here is an Error-Log (similar to the crash in flight):

The crash is not catchable by SkyDemon as it happens at the OS level after we've asked it to render a very large or complex PDF such as the one you mention. We would have to prevent the crash in the first place, which is not totally possible (as we don't know what will make iOS run out of memory) but we may be able to do something to help by queuing the requests to render the plate so they aren't trying to happen concurrently. We'll take a look.

I tried rendering the EDDF VFR terminal area chart on my Android OnePlus One (which shouldn't be the slowest...) --- well, that takes forever. Zooming and panning takes forever as well - but at least it did not crash during my quick test.

Cheers,
