IOS version crashes when loading HARMONICS_NO_US.tcd from opencpn

[tljohnsn]

I have a few custom harmonic files but I can't get any of them to load into the ios app. It just exits the app when I choose them. The same files load just fine into the mac version of XTide, and also work just fine in opencpn.

Thanks for the great port, it's working well for me so far on the mac but would be nice to have the tides on my mobile.

Sorry to hear that, could you send me one of the files that causes the crash?

Thank you - the above created with the latest tcd utils from:
HARMONICS_Racoon.xml.gz
HARMONICS_NassauOnly.txt

Thanks! It looks like Apple changed part of the file opening process without providing backward compatibility. After implementing the missing functionality your file opened with no problems. I’ll let you know when it hits the AppStore.

Hmm - I am still getting the crash after updating, as well as a fresh install from another device. I can't seem to find what version I actually have installed.

Thanks for any help.

I’ve reproduced it, it turned out to be an interesting edge case: it all depended on where the file was in the file system. When I dragged it onto my device it was getting added to XTide’s Sandbox folder, but when I reproduced the crash it was in the general Documents folder. The problem is that when you choose a file from outside the Sandbox, the file chooser calls into your code with the filepath before it’s actually been approved. I was trying to get info about the file before I had permission to read it. It “crashed” because the original XTide was a Unix command-line app, where it’s perfectly acceptable to exit if it thinks you’re doing something weird like trying to open a file that doesn’t appear to exist. I thought I’d caught all the unexpected exits but this slipped through. That’s also why I couldn’t find anything in the AppStore crash logs - “exit” doesn’t count as a crash. I’m starting the AppStore process now.

Great, that makes sense. After reading this I tried air dropping the file directly to the device and opening directly with xTide and it worked fine. I can see my stations now.

Thanks again, I will try the new version once it drops.

Latest version is up, thanks for all your patience!
