iOS APP CRASH:7 reasons why an app crashes and how to prevent it

Have you ever experienced application crash on your iPhone? Well, this is not new to iOS application users as most apps used on their phone tend to crash with passing time. This problem is annoying as it may affect the smooth running of your phone and sometimes lead to loss of data.

You also must have wondered the cause behind this and must be searching there is a solution to it. There are few things you need.
In this article, we would be exploring some reasons behind the sudden and annoying iPhone app crashing and some steps to be taken to curtail this problem. Take time to follow through and see solutions to those problems.

No Crash Analytic
When an application crashes, a report called “crash report” is created. This will help understand what the problem is and where is it coming from. This will state the condition causing the iOS application to stop without prior warning.

Most iOS app developers fail to implement this function during their iOS app development, and when there are no crash reports attached to an iOS app closing unexpectedly, there is little or nothing that one can do to solve the problem.

So, it would be wise for an iOS app developer to implement crash analytic to the application during its development to help the application function the best possible way. With this in place, other causes of crashing in iPhone application can be reasonably reduced or stopped.

No Unit Testing of Features
This is another reason why most iPhone apps crash. Creating an application is very easy, but the competition among iOS app developers might prevent them from completely testing the applications created for possible error. Some app might work in some certain situation but tend to fail in another area, this results from inadequate testing by the iOS developers during iOS app development.

Some result due to a timing error. Some iOS applications might conflict when used together leading to one or both crashing, but if not tested together beforehand, this might not be detected.

Testing of application should be done on continuous basis and performance of application should be monitored at each interval and the received feedbacks must be recorded for performance enhancement, and the recorded problems should be fixed as soon as possible.
