    Textviews and bitmaps return to black boxes

    Hi,
    I have been struggling with this problem for 2 weeks. Android works perfectly but on IOS devices sometimes all textviews and bitmaps return to black boxes. I think it is about ads, and before it returns, i got "frameSizeChanged = 4096" log on console. Do you have any idea ?

      Hi @mehmetuysal, I am just guessing: :)
      I found this on google which seems to be something similar to your issue. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32681073/audio-unit-messing-up-recording

      If this happens after an Ad maybe you just need to listen to application_suspend and application_resume to stop something you're doing (maybe just redraw your menu on resume).

      Thank you for your answer @pie
      I have tried almost everything. I found a temporary solution which is building with 2015.09 version. It seems ok for now.

      Did you try the suspend/resume thing mentioned by @pie?

      Also, the main libs may have changed, have you tried a completely new export?

      I have tried complete new export. I think main libs cause this problem. I initialize ads network(admob) on main.lua after initialization I load interstitial to make in ready to show. Sometimes even before showing ads error happens and everything turns black. So it is really difficult to make this error again while testing.

      I only load interstitial ads onResume but as I said, sometimes it happens before showing ads.

      thanks for your help.

      How about if you leave out the ads plugins?

      btw, I use something like:
      	pcall(function() require "ads" end)
	if Ads then
      in the Lua code to make sure that if I don't include a plugin it still works...
      (it makes it easier to checkout if a plugin is making the program go wrong without having to change any Lua code)

      For some reason I remember having something like this on Android, it was something with OpenGL context and fixing it.
      Have never experienced anything like that on iOS, but honestly lots of things have changed on iOS.

      on Android it was something with updating OpenGL on incorrect thread or something like that.

      So on what ads does it happen?

      @SinisterSoft
      I use exactly the same with your code.
      isAdsAvailable = pcall( function() require "ads" end)
      @ar2rsawseen
      I haven't get any feedback about this problem on Android. But I have lost 10k daily users on IOS. That's really big problem for me. I almost get crazy. Anyway, version 2015.09 fixed the problem before I move to unity.

      I am sorry I didn't write about the ads. Ads are always mini-game ads. Even on loading before show it. I guess the problem is about safari, ads plugin creates webview and add it to rootview than problem occurs.

      P.S: I found an other bug and changed plugin hidden code (Ads:hideAd("auto")) while searching about the error. It was dramatically increasing memory usage.

      Bad news!

      It has just happened with current version which was build with 2015.09 version. I don't know what to do. I am happy to get paid support. If anyone can fix it.

      Aha, ok, I remember there was similar thing on Android for chartboost, that it destroyed some context, and solution was in ads framework itself to specify that ads should use new Activity and it worked perfectly.

      In chartboost docs it was specifically mentioned to use this option with OpenGL based games.
      https://answers.chartboost.com/hc/en-us/articles/201219545-Download-Integrate-the-Chartboost-SDK-for-Android#opengl

      Maybe there are specific options for this Ad framework that you are using too?

      Also can you elaborate on hideAd fix so we can improve it?
