Very strange iPhone app crash problem with tabbar based app

[saile]

Hi,

I know the title sounds a bit awkward but let me explain my problem.

I have a tab bar based iPhone app which works perfectly so far. I can switch through the tabs and every tab loads a view controller.

But here is how it crashes. After I used the app and working with a bunch of other apps I switch back to my app (for example after one hour). The app shows the screen where I left it. Now when I try to change the tab, it crashes immediately.

The problem is that I can't reproduce this crash in the simulator or in the debug mode. I tried to open it, then close it, then reopen it but then everything works. Only after a certain amount of time the crash can be reproduced. But I don't have any logs.

Maybe anyone had the same the problem and knows what to do here?

it maybe that the other views are getting released, or their memory is being used for something else when you leave the app...

This is very likely the case. Might be able to trigger the crash in the simulator by triggering a memory warning and then trying to flip through the tab views.
