Corrupt App Store binaries crashing on launch
By Thom Holwerda on 2012-07-05 18:32:44
Seeing applications on iOS that were updated these past few days crash, for no apparent reason? Marco Arment found out why: "Last night, within minutes of Apple approving the Instapaper 4.2.3 update, I was deluged by support email and Twitter messages from customers saying that it crashed immediately on launch, even with a clean install. This didn't make sense - obviously, Apple had reviewed it, and it worked for them. My submitted archive from Xcode worked perfectly. But every time I downloaded the update from the App Store, clean or not, it crashed instantly. Lots of anxiety and research led me to the problem: a seemingly corrupt update being distributed by the App Store in many or possibly all regions. And this is happening to other apps, not just Instapaper, updated in the last few days."
