[jira] [Commented] (FLEX-33478) Including resource bundle in main app MXML causes unfixable crash in iOS StandardMode compile

Alexander Scheibe commented on FLEX-33478:
------------------------------------------

I have the same problem. 
A standard compiled iOS app mostly closes after the splash image; sometimes it hangs on the splash image. In rare cases I’m able to connect with the debugger and get the same stack trace.

I use Air 3.8 and Apache Flex 4.10.0 with iOS 6.3.1 with Flash Builder 4.7 on Windows.
I used one single huge resource bundle with about 6000 keys in two locales. This worked with Air 3.7, Flex 4.9 and a previous iOS version (don’t know which version).

My application shows only one label after the splash image and includes the resource bundle.

A test to find out if some special character causes the problem by bisecting my keys resulted in that this is not the case.

I than used a resource bundle which only contained key value pairs in the format keyX=valueX.
The maximum number of keys working is 512. This is independent of the number of locales being used, so it looks like a per file limit. 
Also I can use two different resource bundles with 512 keys each.

So the question is what changed that it no longer works with more than 512 keys?

> Hi,
> 1. Build an application using Flex for mobile targetted at iOS
> 2. Use ResourceBundle to provide all strings
> 3. Add a metadata tag to the main application .mxml as per the below:
> 	<fx:Metadata>
> 		[ResourceBundle("Messages")]
> 	</fx:Metadata>	
> 4. Compile in the different modes:
> - For ad hoc release; compiles and runs
> - For fast mode debug; compiles and runs
> - For STANDARD mode debug; CRASHES HORRIBLY before executing user code
> NB: I have tried using a test project where I comment out _ALL_ code and display classes and use an empty view. It is _DEFINITELY_ the metadata declaration that causes the bug.
> NB2: I have just attempted moving the metadata declaration elsewhere in my code (to the first view) and the same results are found.
