App works on simulator but not on ipod touch - iphone

I have developed an app, which imports contacts into Addressbook. The app works great on simulator, but when i tested on my ipod touch, it does not work correctly. It does not crash, but instead it give the wrong result.I have no idea what's wrong with it. Here is the code i think it works on simulator but not on ipod touch.
CFErrorRef couldAddPersonError = NULL;
BOOL couldAddPerson = ABAddressBookAddRecord(addressBook,
person,
&couldAddPersonError);
CFErrorRef couldSaveAddressBookError = NULL;
BOOL couldSaveAddressBook = ABAddressBookSave(addressBook,
&couldSaveAddressBookError);
Thanks in advance

AddressBookExternalChangeCallback not call with iPhone 5 iOS 7

My app load contacts from the native contacts on my iPhone, into my app when I edit contact I use the follow function to refresh contacts, and the action edit can update into contacts list of my app.
void AddressBookExternalChangeCallback (
ABAddressBookRef addressBook,
CFDictionaryRef info,
void *context
)
{
[(__bridge ContactsManager*)context refreshContacts];
}
The problem is this function had NOT CALL when I run on iPhone 5(iOS 7) device. However, with iOS 7 on iPod touch or iPhone 4s this function had call. Please help me to find out the root cause. Thanks in advance.

iPhone Simulator 6.0 not able to connect to gamecenter in sandbox mode

I'm trying to implement a gamecenter aware app targeted to iOS 6. To give some info on the environment I'm working on mac os 10.7.5 with XCode version is 4.5.2 and xcode is running iphone and ipad simulator version 6.0. The problem is I cannot connect to gamecenter in sandbox mode neither through ipad or iphone simulator, but the same code works as desired while testing in my iphone.
I followed the gamecenter programming guide in apple's developer library and I got this atm it is called from applicationDidFInishLaunching in appdelegate:
- (void)authenticateLocalUser:(UIViewController *)currentViewController
{
if (!gameCenterAvailable) return;
GKLocalPlayer *localPlayer = [GKLocalPlayer localPlayer];
localPlayer.authenticateHandler = ^(UIViewController *viewController, NSError *error){
if (viewController != nil)
{
[currentViewController presentViewController:viewController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
else if (localPlayer.isAuthenticated)
{
NSLog(#"Player authenticated");
}
else
{
NSLog(#"Player not authenticated");
}
NSLog(#"Error: %#",error);
};
}
It outputs:
Error: Error Domain=GKErrorDomain Code=2 "The requested operation has been cancelled."
UserInfo=0x8690510 {NSLocalizedDescription=The requested operation has been cancelled.}
GKSConnSettings: set server: {
"gk-cdx" = "17.173.254.218:4398";
"gk-commnat-cohort" = "17.173.254.220:16386";
"gk-commnat-main0" = "17.173.254.219:16384";
"gk-commnat-main1" = "17.173.254.219:16385";
}
I already tried hosts file fix though my OS is not 10.8.2 but it didn't help. https://devforums.apple.com/thread/168811?tstart=0
Any idea what can be the possible cause?
Edit: Well, it turns out the output part starting with GKSConnSettings does not indicate any problems, that's the regular output while connecting to game center as I understood from what I read over internet. I printed the actual error message (GKErrorDomain = 2 ...) inside the authentication block.
I got the inspiration from : https://stackoverflow.com/a/8115807/837244, and decided to log in to game center account with a different piece of code. So in viewdidload I normally called:
[[GCHelper sharedInstance] authenticateLocalUser:self];
Now I commented that out, accessed game center through below URL scheme, logged in to my account and after that logged out.
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"gamecenter:"]];
And lastly reverted back by commenting out URL code and using the original code. Now it works fine, I guess the problem was that a game center account was already hooked up in simulator and it denied every login request bc of that. Hope apple goes clearer with error messages, it took a month to fix such a simple issue, may this help to others.
I know this question references specific Xcode and iOS simulation versions, but if your simulator is already logged in one account, and you don't mind losing whatever data you've got on the simulator (chances are small, but you never know), you can simply reset the settings and data on it.
Go to:
Simulator -> Reset Content and Settings...
...and confirm the action when prompted.
This is certainly true for Xcode7.x running an iOS 9.x simulator, someone else might be able to verify whether it's true for earlier versions (especially as I've unearthed quite an old question and answer).

iOS5 CMMotionManager startDeviceMotionUpdatesToQueue: fails on iPhone3GS

I have a software-hardware related issue that I'm trying to troubleshoot. My app was developed for iPhone4, iOS5 and uses Core Motion framework to process accelerometer and gyroscope data in real time. The app fails when running on iPhone 3GS with iOS5
My main core-motion method looks like this:
[motionManager startDeviceMotionUpdatesToQueue:motionQueue withHandler:^(CMDeviceMotion *motion, NSError *error) {
//notify calibration delegate
if(calibrationDelegate)
{
[calibrationDelegate collectCalibrationMotionData:motion];
}
//a lot more processing
}
I have reports that iPhone3GS does not return yes to isGyroAvailable, while iPhone4 returns yes.
BOOL accelerometerAvailable = (motionManager.isAccelerometerAvailable)?YES:NO;
BOOL gyroscopeAvailable = (motionManager.isGyroAvailable)?YES:NO;
if(!accelerometerAvailable && ! gyroscopeAvailable)
{
//handle error
remoteControlState = kRemoteControlStateError;
}
I've painfully discovered that Apple sells my app to customers with iPhone4, 4s AND 3GS. The app does not work for customers with iPhone 3GS because the call above does not seem to pass the motion objects to the calibration delegate.
I do not have iPhone 3GS to test the app on, so I have a few questions:
Is it possible to specify anywhere in the XCode project properties
that I want my app to run ONLY on iPhone4 and above? (or devices with gyroscope available?)
Where can I find more information on iOS5 quirks like the one above
to better understand how iPhone3GS differs from iPhone4?
Is it possible to specify anywhere in the XCode project properties that I want my app to run ONLY on iPhone4 and above? (or devices with gyroscope available?)
Yes, you would specify such dependencies in the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities key of your Info.plist (gyroscope would be the requirement in this case).
However, for a released app, it's unfortunately impossible to add new requirements.

Apple gamecenter available test returns YES on iphone 3g

I'm making a game with gamecenter support. I want to diable a button for iPhone 3g or older devices. But my 3g test device says, that gamecenter is available and the matchmaking view show up. The user will never get authenticated. I use the snippet from apple to check, if gamecenter is available. It should return NO on devices older than 3gs
-(BOOL)isGameCenterAvailable {
// check for presence of GKLocalPlayer API
Class gcClass = (NSClassFromString(#"GKLocalPlayer"));
// check if the device is running iOS 4.1 or later
NSString *reqSysVer = #"4.1";
NSString *currSysVer = [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion];
BOOL osVersionSupported = ([currSysVer compare:reqSysVer
options:NSNumericSearch] != NSOrderedAscending);
return (gcClass && osVersionSupported); }
Does anyone do it better than apple?
Apparently, there is more to detecting Game Center support than just checking for the existence of the API. According to Optionally Supporting Game Center In Your Game, in addition to checking for the APIs you'll also need to authenticate the player:
iOS 4.1 may be installed on some
devices that do not support Game
Center. On those devices, the
isGameCenterAPIAvailable function
defined Listing 1-1 still returns YES.
The next step in confirming whether
Game Center may be used on the device
is to attempt to authenticate the
local player; on devices that do not
support game center, your game
receives a GKErrorNotSupported error.

SQLite Code works on iPhone simulator, crashes on iPad

This code works fine on the iPhone and the iPhone simulator, but crashes the simulator when running on the iPad:
const char *createsql = [MYClass GetDBCreationString];
sqlite3_stmt *crts;
if (sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, createsql, -1, &crts, NULL) == SQLITE_OK) {
int success = sqlite3_step(crts);
if (success != SQLITE_DONE) {
///problem
}
sqlite3_finalize(crts);
sqlite3_reset(crts);
}
It's code to create the SQLLite table that will hold that specific class. It crashes on the reset line every time, but it does successfully create the table.
On the iPhone and iPhone simulator it works fine. Is the finalize and reset being redundant? If so, why does it crash on iPad but work fine on iPhone?
The iPad SDK is under non-disclosure agreement. You should ask this question at the only place you can: http://devforums.apple.com
I think the sqlite3_reset() is not needed; sqlite3_finalize() should do what you want. Is the version of SQLite the same on both simulators?
