So I just started another restore. This time my iPhone crashed when syncing. That has never happened before. It went to an Apple logo and just sat there. No amount of rebooting or waiting made a difference.
This time, I’m trashing my 2 beta apps and the provisioning files that go with them. We’ll see how it goes, and if it crashes this badly AGAIN, I’m taking the sucker back to the Apple Store. I’m seriously tired of fracking around with this phone. I spend more time restoring it than actually using it.
Only a slight exaggeration there.
beta, crash, provisioning, restore
Again all of my apps have started crashing. And again, I’m forced to do a restore. This is on a non-jailbroken regular ol’ 3G. I’m seriously frustrated. Unacceptable.
It seemed to start with a Scrabble crash and then nothing would start up. Every downloaded app just shuts down immediately after startup. Safari did crash on my several times in a short period yesterday; I don’t know if that is related or not. It was working fine this morning.
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!
Okay. After a primal scream of fury, I feel slightly better. I resisted the urge to hurl my phone against a wall. But only because it costs so damn much.
UPDATE: Too late, I discoverd a tip from this thread in the Apple Discussion iPhone Forum. Next time, if it happens again, I’m going to try it. Upshot: Delete an app and reinstall it from the iPhone (not iTunes) and all the apps should work again.
UPDATE: I tried this method on my touch when it started crashing all over the place a couple of hours ago… it didn’t work. 
So far, a restore is the only method I know of correcting the problem once all the apps start crashing.
apps, crash, restore
