    i'm building an app in iOS but i'm self signing it in Xcode - it's a personal application, non-commercial. what happens is that the app behaves properly for something like a week, and then if i access it at some point, it gets into a crashing loop and won't start again even though the taskbar shows it's still running. i thought i had solved it by providing an explicit Quit button but i see it never quits which i still find mystifying why that's the new norm.

    the only solution i've found is to delete the entire app off the iPad then run it again in Xcode and reauthorize the new build all over again. has anyone experienced this? i guess i should probably check the crash log, but not sure where to look for it. any help or tips appreciated!

    EDIT - sorry to clutter up the thread. looks like self signing lasts for 6 days. so there's my answer.
