In iOS4 I'm registering the following notification:
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector(appWillTerminate:)
name:UIApplicationWillTerminateNotification
object:[UIApplication sharedApplication]];
-(void)appWillTerminate:(UIApplication *) app {
NSLog(@"terminate");
}
I know that this is not called in all the situations like in the prev iOS versions, however, simply by registering this I get a EXC_BAD_ACCESSS
when the app exits. Still, I can't remove it because my app supports iOS3.0+. How can I handle this?
UPDATE: Here is the crash log:

Make sure that you remove the observer in any class that is listening for the terminate notification. If you are not removing the notification it will try to post it to a deallocated object and then your application will crash. You should not be crashing for listening to a notification that does not exist, it just would not get called.
//YourClass
-(id)init
{
if((self = [super init]))
{
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector(appWillTerminate:)
name:UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification
object:[UIApplication sharedApplication]];
}
return self;
}
-(void)appWillTerminate:(NSNotification *)note {
NSLog(@"terminate");
}
-(void)dealloc
{
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self];
//Other releases
[super dealloc];
}
What you could do is detect the iOS version, and if its v. 3.0 then use appWillTerminate and if its v. 4.0 use appWillResignActive or appDidEnterBackground, example:
NSString *ver = [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion];
if([ver isEqualToString:@"3.0"]){
//Device is running 3.0
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector(appWillTerminate:)
name:UIApplicationWillTerminateNotification
object:[UIApplication sharedApplication]];
}
else if([ver isEqualToString:@"4.0"]){
//4.0
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector(appWillTerminate:)
name:UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification
object:[UIApplication sharedApplication]];
}
The first argument passed to your appWillTerminate:
method will be an NSNotification
object, not your UIApplication
. See the NSNotificationCenter Class Reference
