BingMaps iOS SDK crash

Question

Hi everybody,

I've a problem with my iPhone app. It's a native application and I use the BingMaps iOS SDK.

I used the SDK demo examples to configure le map.

The app works fine most of the time but sometimes crashes after using it for a while.

I found with Instruments a lot of memory leak SDFrameTimer from BMMapViewInternal.

Here you can find the crash logs.

Answer 1

For iOS development with Bing Maps the recommended development path is to use the Bing Maps V7 AJAX control with Phone gap. You will get access to the full Bing Maps API and will end up with a much better application in the end.

Hi Richard, thank you for your answer.

Unfortunately my application is in pre-release testing so use the AJAX SDK with phonegap is not an option.

Any hint would be appreciated :)

Thank you for your attention.

That's very frustrating. What happened to the iOS SDK that Microsoft released a year ago? There was no deprecation notice and it's extremely unstable on iOS 6.

Is there a guide on how to integrate Bing Maps within a native application (i.e. replacing the abandoned SDK with the PhoneGap version?)
