Suggestions are not showing up on iPhone 4 IOS 6.1.3

The Demo code is not running on iPhone 4 IOS 6.1.3 while running on iPhone 4S (6.1.3) and iPhone 5 (6.0.4) Any Ideas ?

Just tried it on an iPhone 4 running iOS 7 this morning, confirmed that the suggestions don't show up when you start typing.

In the DEMOViewController, If I comment out this method:

• (void)autoCompleteTextField:(MLPAutoCompleteTextField *)textField possibleCompletionsForString:(NSString *)string completionHandler:(void (^)(NSArray *))handler

And uncomment this one:

• (NSArray *)autoCompleteTextField:(MLPAutoCompleteTextField *)textField possibleCompletionsForString:(NSString *)string

Thereby avoiding the asynchronous fetching, the suggestions appear.

The problem I suspect is in line 169: dispatch_queue_t queue = dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_BACKGROUND, 0);

If you place a breakpoint after the dispatch_async in this same method inside the block, such as at line 171, it will never get called, but it should...

Since this delegate method is part of the DEMOViewController and not part of the MLPAutoCompleteTextField source code you shouldn't have a problem in your app as long as your implementation of the delegate method works right.

I have this problem too. Tested my App for the first time on an iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.2, and when the suggestion box tried to load, nothing happened. After this, when I pushed/popped the view with the MLPAutoCompleteTextField, the application hung. It didn't crash, it just hung until I force quitted it.

This does not occur in the iPhone 6.1 simulator with 3,5" retina display.

Why would this only occur on the iPhone 4? Does it's processor handle asynchronous queues differently?

Other than this, great work on this subclass! It's a really impressive fast auto-complete implementation.

I don't remember all the hardware specific details of the iPhone 4 anymore. Solving this problem will just take some experimentation.

the same problem on the iPod touch 4-th generation (iOS 6.1.2)

Hi,

iPhone 4 under iOS 6.1.2 works like a charm, the colors and the UI style are not really matching but it works.

Hm, really odd. Great that it works somewhat though. Some obscure details must have changed.
