App wont initialise on device

Hi, I have just tried to recompile my app and for some reason it is now crashing when it tries to initialise OpenGL.

An external call is made to AllocateRenderBufferStorageFromEAGLLayer within the Unity > EAGLContextHelper.mm and it just freezes.
This is the output from XCode:

and the "eaglLayer" that is passed to the function is NULL.

Unity 4.6.6f2
XCode 6.3.2

I've tried it on an iPhone 6 and iPad 2 and I get the same error.

Can anyone help as its stopping me from testing my app?
Thanks in advance.

(Sorry I should have put this under IOS development)

 

Hi,
I have just recompiled my app and installed it onto my devices and for some reason it is now crashing when the launch screen appears.

I've tried it on an iPhone 6 and iPad 2 and I get the same error.

I have also tried downgrading and upgrading XCode and Unity.

Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

OMG please say its not just me who is getting this error?

 

me too.

 

I'm getting the same

 

Just out of interest what do you have your Graphics API set to in your IOS Player Settings?

 

Just out of interest what do you have your Graphics API set to in your IOS Player Settings?

 

Automatic. I might try and force it to Open GL ES 2.0, it'll probably be metal causing the problem. What do you have it set to?

 

I have had to rebuild my project so its now working. I've now got it set to Automatic as i did have it set to Open GL El 3.0 but it failed again. I have tried my old project and that one failed what ever the Graphics API was set to.

For your Scripting backend are you using IL2CPP or Mono? I've been told that IL2CPP is a bit buggy but I need to have a Universal architecture.

Let me know if you have any luck

 

I'm using IL2CPP which is obviously a must, if you want to release to the app store. The Unity team are constantly pushing fixes for IL2CPP so it's quickly becoming more and more stable.

I'm still getting the bug, it seems to happen as soon as the app loads. I've created a support ticket so when I hear something back from Unity re a solution, I'll let you know.

 

Great thanks, it would be good to know whats going on just in case it happens to me again.

 

same here. Just upgraded XCode to 6.4 (6E35b). Running iOS 8.3 (12F69) on the iPad (don't want to upgrade to 8.4 yet for fear of mucking this up more). Have tried Graphics in IOS Player settings as 2.0, 3.0 and Automatic. Any solutions/fixes anyone?

 

Nope not yet, i'm now using Unity 4.6.7f1 and XCode 6.4.
I had to rebuild my entire project and kept having to test every hour or so to make sure that it worked.

Also we i moved this conversation here: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/app-wont-initialise-on-device.338782/
Forum moderator might want to remove this thread.

 

I have the same problem as well!

 

I had the same problem, but only on one device - an original iPad mini. iPad 3, iPad Air 2, and iPhone 6 all build and run ok.

Building for Mono or IL2CPP made no difference, and the graphics API was always set to OpenGLES2. It works when building in Unity 4.6.2, but not in 4.6.6/4.6.7. It also doesn't work with any of the Unity 5 versions that I have. I'm going to try 4.6.3/.4/.5 to see if I can narrow down when it stopped.

 

Same problem on iPhone 4s.
Xcode Version 6.4, Unity 5.1.1f1
My settings is:


Does somebody have any ideas why the exception occurs?

 

Updating my phone from iOS 8.3 to iOS 8.4 fixed the issue.

 

Now tested with 4.6.3 and it doesn't work, so it appears to be something that changed between 4.6.2 and 4.6.3 (in my case anyway). Looking at the release notes, 4.6.3 was when Metal support was introduced. Not sure how this helps though :/

 

Confirming Abacab - I updated my iPad2 to iOS 8.4 and it works. Likewise on my iPhone6 that already had 8.4.

 

Also happening for me, even on a completely fresh Unity project, when running 8.3. Updating to 8.4 also fixed the issue for me. In both cases, the project launched and ran fine from the springboard.

I'm expecting this to be fine for an apple submission...thoughts?

 

What if users are running an older version of iOS?

 

I agree with Ajr_1 -- this will be an issue / bad reviews with a user of 8.3 or older.

 

I am a little concerned about that too.

 

We are also concerned about it. Has anyone heard anything from Unity?

 

Yep, we are seeing the same, and its also an issue with the 5.2 beta.

EDIT: We just tested on an iPhone 6 with 8.3 and there it works, the device it didn't work on, and iPad 2 with 8.3 worked after we restarted it, so now it works on all our devices with 8.3.
It doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling though and I still worry releasing with these problems.

 

It does sound a little comforting though.

 

Hmm, I just tried restarting the iPad Mini, but no joy. It's using 8.3 too. I'm going to try to make a sample project and submit as a bug.

 

same here.
ipod 8.2 is crashing
AllocateRenderBufferStorageFromEAGLLayer

ipod 6.1 is crashing with attempt to call UIPercentDrivenInteractiveTransition
what is supposed to be since 7.x

It all works week ago. I don't know what to happens;

When i disconnect my ipod 8.2 from mac and try to run app, it runs fine.

ipod 6.1 is still crashing.

 

F***, It's all XCode i believe.
I had a working ios project from unity and it works fine before.
now it's not.

I did not update xcode for year. I check it now and it marked with latest version (Version 6.4 (6E35b) ).....

Screw you, Apple

 

I think you're right - I tried running the app without being connected to Xcode and it runs. Not great for debugging but at least it should run on user's devices if they are running older builds of iOS.

 

I just try to build it using XCode Version 6.2 (6C131e) But still no luck with it.
It didn't run with ios 6.x
It crashes with unidentified symbol UIEdgePanGesture ( or some simillar ) from UIKit,

Next i make UIKit optional and it crashes on some symbol from CoreTelephony.framework.

While typing this message it runs finally. I set all frameworks as optional.
Maybe it help to someone.

 

I had the same problem:

does NOT run on iPhone 6Plus 8.3
does run on iPhone 6Plus 8.4
does run on iPhone 4S 8.0.2

All tested when plugged into XCode

 

I tested it. Build runs fine on the older versions if I install it with TestFlight. The problem only occurs if it run from XCode.

 

I am about to submit my game for review. I'm sure it'll be fine, right? Right?

 

I tried again on an ipad air 8.3, works fine.
I'm going to submit by update to Apple for review soon.

 

same problem here!

 

I have the same problem, only on devices with iOS 8.3.

But I found out that the crash happens only when debugging within xCode (doing a Build and Run). After the game is installed on the device and then opening directly on the device (without debugging, just tapping the icon) the game works fine.

 

We can confirm that. It appears to be iOS 8.3 + Xcode combination issue. Affecting only apps that are being launched via Xcode. Released applications should not be affected. If you get any reports from users please let us know ASAP.
Thanks!

 

Hello Mantas,

Is there any schedule for a fix? Should we watch this thread to know when it is fixed?

 

Hello. We were hitting a similar problem with OpenGL, and Metal. Upgrading test device to iOS 8.4 got rid of the OpenGL problem, but we would like to use Metal in our application and debugging it on-device is impossible with the current setup.

Please submit a bugreport.
Thanks!

 

I had the same error on an ipad 3 on 8.3 using Unity3d 5.1.2f1. Solved it by upgrading to 8.4.

 

For me too, upgrading to latest iOS version solved the issue. Tried to restart the iPad 2 and nothing. Using Unity 5.1.2f.
Thanks

 

I have the same issue with Unity 5.1 + iOs 8.4 on my iPad + Xcode 6.1.1. I can build ipa, but I cannot debug app on device through xcode.

Edit: Updated to Unity 5.1.2 – didn`t help.
Edit: I have even upgraded to Yosemite, installed all updates, Xcode 6.4, Command line tools 10.10 with no luck. The same error

 

Got the same error on our iPad2. iPad Air worked.

 

I'm also getting this error.

EDIT: Updating to latest iOs on device fixed this.

 

xCode version: 6.4
Unity Version: 4.6.7.p4

• Working on iPad 2 Air with iOS 8.1
• NOT working on iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 8.3
• Working in iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 8.4 (after updating) -> Solved

As has been already said, the problem always occurs in development environments with the device attached to xCode. Which is critical if you need the console.

 

Updating iOS version on device also fixed this for me.

 

Solution for iOS 8.3 is to disable GPU frame capture in build schemes
