Browser crashes while changing frm Landscape 2 Portrait mode

Post by joe1313 »

I have been facing this issue since I downloaded AdBlock browser for iOS, 3 days ago.

1) Every time I change my iPod from landscape to portrait mode, it crashes. (while watching a video or going through websites)
It doesn't crash when I first change from Portrait to landscape mode.
2) Plus when I try to slide to "History" tab, It crashes.
3) And when I open the tab view to change tabs, it sometimes doesn't show the close "x" button besides the tab ( generally when one tab is left.

Overall Good initiative.
and If I could sync my google bookmarks that' be great.

I'm using the iPod 5th Gen, iOS 9.0.2

Thank you,
Hoping for a quick response.

Hi joe1313 !

I apologize about the delay.
Could you provide an example of a video or website that you were viewing while changing from landscape to portrait?
Thanks,

I'd like to report that I'm having the same problem in V1.2.1. Switching from landscape to portrait crashes the app. It sometimes happens and sometimes doesn't. It seems to get into a "mood" to do it. It will work fine for one session, and for another session, it will do this every time. Closing and restarting the app doesn't seem to have an effect.

Hey BDFish and Talbot!

Thanks for sharing that.
What are the devices you are using and iOS version?
We will investigate the cause and hopefully have a solution for it soon.
Thanks

I'm using an iPhone 5, software version 8.4.1. I can also give it a try on an iPhone 6 Plus and let you know if the problem persists.

Hey Talbot !
We will look into that. Thanks a lot for supporting us.
It would be great if you could try the iPhone 6 as well and let us know if the problem persists.
Also, is it possible that you send a "Crash report" when these crashes happen? That would be extremely helpful.


@BDFish: Could you also let us know the version of the ABB you have?

All the best,
rach

I just want to add to this discussion that by locking the activity in one orientation by adding android:screenOrientation="portrait" (or "landscape") to <activity> in your manifest.

Hey priyanka123!

Thanks for your input.
Could you specify where you could configure the orientation? I could not reproduce that.
All the best.
