Crashing iOS Apps Blamed on Flaw in Apple App Store

By John P. Mello Jr., PCWorld Jul 5, 2012 9:16 AM

Apple?s App Store has a flaw in its updating process that is causing some programs to crash when they're launched, according to a developer.
Marco Arment, the developer of Instapaper, noticed the problem Wednesday after being inundated by user complaints about his app crashing on launch after users upgraded to its latest version.
"This didn?t make sense -- obviously, Apple had reviewed it, and it worked for them," he wrote in his blog. "My submitted archive from Xcode worked perfectly. But every time I downloaded the update from the App Store, clean or not, it crashed instantly."
After some research, Arment discovered that the update Apple was pushing to his users was corrupt, he said. After making some noise to Apple through e-mail and the public on Twitter, he said the problem was fixed and functional updates of his program began flowing to his customers.
