Watchdog implementation

[simon.schvartzman]

Hi all, I have this app running 24x7 (basically doing Dropbox transfers) and no matter what from time to time it stops.

With the help of many LC gurus I have been able to have it running for several months without interruption but suddenly it stops and I'm not able to find out the reason. Most of the time the device log is empty and when it isn't i can't get any useful information as what went wrong (one such log attached).

I wonder if there is some way to implement something like a software watchdog that would "reset' the App from time to time. I know this is not a clean/elegant solution but...

Any ideas would be appreciated

I love good uptime, but how does a well patched system never need a reboot for several months?

As for LC, if you can monitor memory you may find a leak. If you do, see if you can isolate it to report it. Memory leaks get a high priority.

@FourthWorld thanks for your suggestion.

I'm afraid I don't know how to monitor memory (shame on me) can you please guide me?

Thanks

What OS version are you running?

[simon.schvartzman]

I have 4 devices running the same App:

- 2 x iPhone 4 with iOS 9.3.5
- 2 x iPhone 5 with iOS 10.3.3

All of them show the same behaviour....

BTW I'm using LC Indy 8.1.8
