ROOT CAUSE: 3rdparty License was missing from new build machine!: For version 11, we changed to a new build machine, but didn't transfer the "obfuscation license". Without the license, it works just fine for 15 days, then times out. Unfortunately, it was just failing mysteriously, without telling us the cause; and so we looked for every other possible explanation except this. Today, we finally figured it out from guessing. In our 1000+ line build log, there was one warning line that read "Obfuscation license not found. This build will not work after 15 days." And we just never noticed this, nor thought to look for this, until today. And this was the first time we've ever upgraded our build machine since we started doing obfuscation.
The good news is that this mysterious crashing wasn't a true iFlyGPS QA issue, but rather was just a matter of 3rdparty licensing.
We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused, as well as shaking user confidence in our product. We won't let this happen again.
