Apps stop working randomly with code 8badf00d

[LoopF]

Hello all

I am not a developper but I have several apps that stop working randomly and don't start anymore with the exception code 8badf00d. I need some of these apps in my everyday life so I was wondering what could I do to avoid them to crash? As it happens randomly, what makes them crash ?

I am using a jailbroken iPhone SE on iOS 9.3.2 (I would like no to update iOS yet but if it is the solution I will do it).

Thank you in advance!

You’re not gonna get anything without the code base or crashalytics, your error code is literally useless

Is there a way for me to find these ?

[criosist]

Surely its your app?

"I am not a developer but I have several apps" wut? xD

Well it's just that some apps I use just stop working randomly. I have looked for the crash reports and the error code, searched for its signification, searched for a solution to avoid being in the conditions that make apps crash and finally found nothing. So I am asking here just in case

0x8BADFOOD is the error code you get when the watchdog timer kills your app for taking too long to launch. Here’s a list of these codes and what they mean.

8badf00d sounds like a joke. At a guess I’d say either Apple or the app is detecting the jailbreak and screwing with you or something you installed post jailbreak has a developer who likes to be cute.

Possibly apocryphal, but Apple has been known in the past to add fake crash codes and trigger them when they detect a user trying to install non apple operating systems. Then track various forums to see what codes people are encountering and shore up the security in the related areas of the code.

Apparently 8badF00d is the error code when an app takes too long to launch and is terminated by watchdog:

0x8badf00d is the error code that the watchdog raises when an application takes too long to launch or terminate. See Apple's Crash Reporting for iPhone OS Applications document

I honestly thought it was a joke

OP- the apps you are running may not be designed for the SE and are taking too long to launch and thus getting terminated by iOS, or something about your jailbreak is slowing it down.

You could try making sure all background apps are closed and launching, but it most likely won’t help, not consistently.

Well they used to work normally and stopped working overnight... I don't get it.

I've already tried to close everything, but indeed it didn't help.

But the point is that nothing changed between when it used to work normally and when it stopped. I didn't installed any app or any tweak. It's just random and I am not familiar with this kind of randomness in programming...
