has anyone posted a bug in the issuetracker for this yet? If so, please make it public so that we can upvote it and make sure proper channel are aware of this issue!
I did a very simple app that reproduces the issue (not 100% but >50%):
import bb.cascades 1.0
Page {
WebView {
id: webView
url: "dummy.html"
}
}
as you can see, it's the most basic app with only a webview 
if no one created an issue yet, i will do so on Monday!
thanks
Well, I've wasted my time, it seems, for two reasons.
For one thing, although the app works perfectly well, and I knew it would work only when installed with a debug token (since it has to be an unsigned app), I didn't take into account the fact that others would have to edit the MANIFEST.MF to replace my author and author id with their own in order to sideload on their own devices.
That's not particularly difficult actually, but given that the audience for this was mainly people who aren't very familiar with SSH and would find the "pidin + slay" option difficult, making them edit a .bar file like that may be asking too much.
The other reason is, as it's now been pointed out to me, that Momentics can deal with these app crashes perfectly well.
In Momentics, go to the QNX System Information Perspective. Make sure you're connected to your target device or simulator, and look at the System Summary tab. You should see your "stuck" process listed there.
Right-click on it and select "Deliver Signal...". The default is SIGTERM, and that's the one we want. Click OK and a moment later your app should have been "slayed" and the icon will return to the normal state, letting you re-launch the app.
For anyone who would still like to install it, it's a very nice app. :-) You can find it at http://blackberry-py.microcode.ca/zombie-slayer.ht
At this point, however, I don't intend to make a build for the simulator unless enough people ask for it.
Screenshots, to finish this up:
Might be worth just waiting another day for the "gold" release (new SDK and firmware) and compare the behaviour then. Beta 4 had such a significant impact on so many things, it would be surprising if some of the worst changes were not fixed (or, at least, changed yet again) by the Gold release...
haha, maybe that's also a good idea
