[jira] [Commented] (CB-264) camera.getPicture() CRASH when repeatedly called on iOS

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-264?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13220299#comment-13220299 ] 

Timur Celikel commented on CB-264:
----------------------------------

We also have this issue with our app we are developing at the moment. We tried PhoneGap 1.4.1 and Cordova 1.5 rc1. We copied and pasted the whole code Phil Haeusler posted and we where easily able to reproduce the crash on an iPhone 3GS and 4S as well. 

Before it crashes we get a memory warning and and then it says EXC_BAD_ACCESS. It hardly depends on how many apps where started before, if there is some heavy stuff loaded before we just need one picture to provoke it, in other cases we have to shoot pictures more frequently. In our case it only crashes while touching the use-button and not before or after.

> We are experiencing an intermittent crash when calling camera.getPicture() on multiple devices.  The crash can occur either as the pickerController is popped in from the bottom, or after you tap the Use button to accept the picture.  The app requires the taking and review of pictures in a fairly fast manner.  We've found the crash can occur anytime after we've capture only 1 or 2 photos.  Sometimes we go for quite a while without crashing.
> We see that the images captured are stored in tmp/photo_nnn.jpg, but we do not believe we've reached any storage limits here.  
> We are taking the image and displaying it in a <img> - so possibly there is an issue with UIWebView retaining references to previously loaded images, and exhausting it's memory.  But not really sure if that could be an issue.
> We've created a small app that we can crash by repeated taking and viewing images.  There doesn't seem to be anything special about it.
