Mysterious IQ Crash

This was a strange one. Finally found it. My data field was getting an IQ crash. Except the normal colored IQ icon was rendered as a grey scale IQ crash icon. And there was no LOG file created. And no ERA entry. Sometimes that crash impacted other CIQ data fields too, which would also display they strange greyscale IQ logo.

To cut to the chase.... it turned out to be an EXCEPTION in which under a certain scenario, I performed a "registerForTemporalEvent" too soon. So I'm thinking the crash occurred in the BG process, so it didn't get handled the same way, didn't log the issue, and displayed a different IQ logo. And sometimes propagated a device wide error.

Anyway, just FYI.

When there is the crush in background for watch face, user doesn't see but I can see it in era.

When are you doing the register? Remember, in AppBase, initialize, onStart, and onStop run when the background runs, and that also means for onAppInstall and onAppUpdate, which run early and aren't temporal events.

Try the register in getInitialView which only runs for the main app.

I have to run it on-demand, not a recurring event. What I did was improve the "getLastTemporalEventTime" to ensure I waited at least 5 minutes from the prior time (if any prior), and I enclosed it in a try/catch just to be safe. Thanks!

Yeah this was interesting that the EDGE crashes the data field, doesn't just silently reject the attempt.

Maybe it's not the crush in the background.
