Hi all,

I have this problem,

I'm developing an app and I run it frequently on simulator because of testing. The BB OS 6 lets me run the app on an already running simulator, that's fine. But after the simulator restarts (which is everytime after the private variables change or everytime I start my Eclipse), the app won't start and if I run debug, the console says:

AM: Starting MyApp
AM: MyApp already running
AM: Foreground is requested: MyApp(252)

Although I'm sure it's not running anywhere, I didn't start it before. MyApp is my application name.

I manage to run the app after several restarts and resets of simulator a deleting of my app, but this is too slow, I need to develop the app fastly. I can't do this whole procedure everytime the simulator restarts..

Please, has anyone a solution?

Just try running the app in AIR.  I rarely have to use the simulator except for final tests.

I'm sorry, but what's AIR, could you give me some links please?

AIR is about the Playbook stuff but I suspect that you are developing 'normal' app, i.e. app for smartphones and not for Playbook. So AIR won't help you.

I guess you receive such message, because you have system module running (i.e. part of your app that runs at phone startup). So probably you need to reset the simulator everytime you rebuild your project.

I guessed so.

Thank you for your answer. What exactly is the system module (except the phone startup - I guess you mean "calling a number" externally)? Is this also an external/internal browser and email call? Thank you.
