Pythonista 3 Beta 9 Crash
-
Whenever I try to write a file, as soon as I input any character via the onscreen keyboard, Pythonista crashes. I have not tested it with a bluetooth keyboard, but I assume it has to do with the autocompletion. In the console it works fine.
I am on an iPad mini 2 (I think it is model number is 4,4) with iOS 8.3. Also I should add that I am jailbroken.
-
Hi Moe, do you mean you're trying to stream keyboard input to a file?
Could you provide an example of what you're doing?
-
@Moe Are you using any keyboard-related jailbreak tweaks? Any chance you have a crash log?
-
I have this same issue, IPad3, ios8.4.1
Whenever typing in the editor, while I can paste, whenever I type any other character with the keyboard, it crashes. Happens both on .txt files and .py files. My device doesn't seem to record crash logs anymore (maybe i need to clear out existing in itunes)Pasting works fine..
-
@JonB Are you also jailbroken?
-
Oh, I completely overlooked that you're both on iOS 8 (why!?). I guess it likely has to do with that... I'll look into it.
-
@Moe Why not upgrade to iOS 9? I'm also using the iPad mini 2. It's not noticeably slower and it frees up some space with the new "app thinning."
-
@Moe oh, wait—you'll lose your jailbreak. Never mind.
-
@omz I am not jailbroken, just on ios8.
@disorientedp Generally the only reason I ever have to upgrade major revisions of ios is when pythonista stops supporting the old version :) Otherwise I would still be on ios6 (begrudingly i admit ios7 was an improvement, but ios8+ has been nothing but regrets).
-
Okay, I think I found the culprit. iOS 9 has a new API to set a "discoverability title" for keyboard shortcuts that is shown when the command key is pressed for a second or so. I added a new keyboard shortcut and forgot to check if that method is actually available before setting the title, so it crashes on iOS 8 whenever the system needs to know the list of available shortcuts...

Why? You don't think that the improvements to inter-app sharing with iOS 8 were actually improvements? What features do you actually dislike rather than just not care much about?
-
The crash should be fixed in the new build (300010). Please let me know if you're still seeing this after updating the beta.

@disorientedp Yep, because of the jailbreak I'm staying on iOS 8 for now. But I will upgrade to iOS 9, if/when Pythonista stops supporting iOS 8, just like @JonB :P
@omz It seems to be working fine now, at least it doesn't crash when typing. If something else occurs, I'll let you know!
