    Crash in metalShaderEngine

    I'm trying to build a Gideros iOS simulator that include Flurry but every time I add the Flurry SDK my simulator starts crashing. The steps I took were as follows:
    1. Create a new Gideros project
    2. Add the Flurry plugin in gideros
    3. Export the project to Xcode
    4. Build and run the Xcode project to make sure it works with the Bird Animation Example project in the iOS simulator (it works)
    5. Add Flurry according to the Gideros instructions for adding Flurry.
    6. Rebuild the project and run.
    Expected: Project to run
    Actually: Crash

    Macbook Pro 16", Apple M1, macOS 14.1.2
    Xcode 15.0.1
    simulator: iPad 10th Generation, iOS 17.0

    I've tried installing Flurry both via CocoaPods as well as adding it as a Package, either way it crashes. Removing the pod or package and it goes away. Any help would be appreciated.

      I just realized that there are some other files compiling into my project like bhWax that are complicating things and probably the source of the issue. If I remove these files the project doesn’t crash. I’ll try adding things back the project one by one to see what is causing the issue. Bhwax hasn’t been updated in 10 years but the old game project I’m trying the ressurect depends on it. Probably the issue.

      sorry troysandal but flurry plugin hasn't been updated in a long time, I don't think it is working with latest Gideros versions.
      EDIT: Flurry may work :) waiting for feedback from troysandal ;)

      EDIT2: well I just got my feet wet with this flurry thing, created an account, opened the flurry Gideros example file and this is working :o windows 10 Gideros 2023.11 android 12

      Now I have to understand the basics and update the wiki :p

      Thanks for the reply and trying this out. Question, did you use the CocoaPods method or Add Package Dependencies? I was only able to get #import "Flurry.h" to work when I used the Add Package Dependencies method, curious if you got the CocoaPods working, I couldn't compile with it. Thanks for updating the Wiki.

      troysandal, I haven't tried with apple, and I barely know what CocoaPods is!
      I tried flurry using Gideros Sudio on my windows 10 pc. I copied the Gideros Flurry project to a new location and all I had to do was add the Flurry plugin.

      First try the app crashed but that was because I didn't pass any Flurry app id.

      I also have updated my android Gideros player to include the Flurry plugin and all seems to work pretty well.

      Have you figured it out on your side if it's Flurry or bhWax?

      Sorry, didn't see the part about Windows. I'm going to work on this today, will let you know what I find.

      Ok, I figured it out, I had turned off ObjC Automatic Reference Counting in order to get bhWax to build. Turning that off in a vanilla exported Gideros project causes the same crash. My bad! I will try to refactor bhWax to support ARC. Sorry for the waste of time.
