Re: [MonoTouch] Same app seems to follow two different paths - any ideas?
Hi, Do you have more than one AppDelegate classes? I have strange issues before when there were two AppDelegate classes (in different namespaces) registered as 'AppDelegate' to the Objective-C runtime, and at runtime which one is picked is completely random. The easiest way to check this is to install the 6.3.4 beta and try your app in the simulator - you will get an exception at startup if there are more than one class registered with the same Objective-C name.

Hi Rolf, The easiest way to check this is to install the 6.3.4 beta and try your app in the simulator - you will get an exception at startup if there are more than one class registered with the same Objective-C name. Only one AppDelegate there. Tried this under the stable, beta and alpha releases. All give the same results on the other machine. If it was on Android, I'd say it was a threading issue. The fix I have in place solves the issue, but not the problem (as I see it) Paul -- Space, it says, is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is.

Well, it was a shot in the dark anyway :) There is always the low-tech solution of riddling your code with calls to Console.WriteLine...

Hi,
There is always the low-tech solution of riddling your code with calls
to Console.WriteLine...
Did that too - AppDelegate ignored. Now something has just occurred to
me and I'm not sure if it happens in monotouch as it does in monodroid.
When the compiler hits an event, the event code is read to ensure it's
correct and working. For example
listView.Click += delegate {
if (condition)
// do something
else
// do something else
};
If the something else line goes out of bounds or does something silly,
the compilation dies there.
What I'm wondering is if something similar is happening here except
instead of it being at compile time, it's at runtime (the method is
called before AppDelegate is reached when it shouldn't be reached until
FinishedLaunching has been hit - in other words, the UI is starting
before it's started officially)
Does/can that happen?
Paul

Never say never, but this doesn't sound plausible to me.
What is the actual behavior you're seeing on the screen? Does the app show
up as expected, or does it exit?

Hi, What is the actual behavior you're seeing on the screen? Does the app show up as expected, or does it exit? I get a splash screen. It is then supposed to put up a message to say loading data (UIAlert) and then another UIAlert to say welcome. Now here is the reason why I think it was at runtime. UIAlert #1 works. It doesn't use the LocalizedString code. UIAlert #2 isn't hit, but what is happening is really odd. The LocalizedString is being called but looks to being called twice - once before FinishedLaunching has been executed, once after with the same token. This token is only ever used once (no replications of the token exist when I do a Search in Files other than in the Localized.strings file). The mystery deepens! Paul -- Space, it says, is big.

Is is being ignored, or just no debugging? What happens if you put Console.WriteLine or Debug.WriteLine in there? do you see output? What happens if you install the sims?

I have the same app running on two identical machines with the same software and OS set ups (two Mac minis, the other one is the Australia) The app has been developed on my machine, committed to svn and then brought down to the aussie box and built. When I run the debugger here, the app fires through and picks things up correctly from AppDelegate for localisation. The one in Australia completely ignores AppDelegate. By that I mean none of the break points in AppDelegate are hit, they are on my box. Is there any way to find why the flow is completely different between the machines? The only difference between the the machines is that I have the simulators for iOS 5, 5.1 and 6 installed whereas the other box doesn't. When I build for 6.1, everything works at this end. I've noticed some of the xib files are set for a target of iOS 3. Is this likely to be the issue? Paul -- Space, it says, is big. Really big.

See nothing What happens if you install the sims? Nothing. One thing I did find was that if it ignores the first instance of an error (it is returning AppDelegate.Self.LB.LocalizedString(string token) but Self is null so the app dies) then AppDelegate is seen and everything works from there on in.
