Steve Jobs confirms third-party app crash bug; says a solution is coming





A reader over at AppleInsider just got another one of Steve Jobs’ brief and to the point emails. This time, it’s in regards to a crash bug that affects third-party apps on start up.

The email reads as follows:

“This is a known iPhone bug that is being fixed in the next software update in September.”

In his typical brief form, Jobs is giving us a time to expect this bug fix. Specifically, many users are reporting the iPhone 2.0′s firmware sudden failure to load third-party apps. The apps will often load briefly then crash back to the home screen.

And while it’s good to know a fix is on the way, many users are still not satisfied with the 3G situation. Are these merely temporary fixes until the real thing comes along? I guess we’ll have to wait until September to find out.

    The iPhone is a computer. If your having this problem try re-booting it. Turn the power off and wait a minute and turn it back on. This usually fixes the bug. :)

  2. I am so happy to read this. This is the type of details that needs to be given and not the random misinformation that is at the other blogs. Appreciate your sharing this best doc.

  3. I have been surfing online a lot more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough personally. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content just like you did, the net would be a lot more useful than in the past.
