TestFairy causes delay during app launch

Question

I was using TestFairy for quite a time now, and suddenly it started slowing up the app launch.

I get this error when testFairy is initialised in appdelegate:

*** error reading settings archive file: <ISRootSettings: /Users/Zakaria/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/17557909-146C-4075-926F-D9BFD334E120/data/Containers/Data/Application/AA791370-AED4-4CA6-A166-E984A379CAB2/Documents/{app_bundle}/ISRootSettings_10.plist> 

And then:

TestFairy: Initializing SDK version 1.7.8 
TestFairy: Session started successfully
TestFairy is no longer the default crash handler

And by the way, it doesn't record crash reports anymore :(

Answer 1

The message TestFairy is no longer the default crash handler only appears if another crash handler is the default. Crashlytics and HockeyApp crash handlers don't pass the call to the next in chain, so if they are initialized after TestFairy, they will catch the exception and not pass it onwards.

About the delay. Do you have more information? Such as, how slow it suddenly is now? (in milliseconds).
