App can't launch

[arjanvlek]

Wanted to install this as all App Store ad blockers require iPhone 5s+ / iPad air+ while this one says "Also works on iPhone 5 / 5c", which also means iPad 4 (A6 CPU).

Issue: App crashes on launch.

Device: iPad 4 32GB (iOS 9.2)

Crash Logs: OpenAdBlock 03-01-16 17-40.txt OpenAdBlock 03-01-16 17-40 2.txt

Apple changed it. Now it only works on 64 bit devices. Sorry for the problem.

[arjanvlek]

So it crashed because of 64-bit CPU instructions being run on a 32-bit CPU? And there's nothing I can do to get it running? If so, then feel free to close the issue. If a workaround exists, I'm ready to be informed about it.

I'm afraid there is nothing to do... It worked before but they changed something and now nothing work on 32 bit devices.

Content Blockers do not work on 32-bit devices. This is an Apple-imposed restriction; Apple has removed the "Content Blockers" section from Settings. Thus, you should be able to run the app on your 32-bit device (i.e. the crash is with your Xcode/device, not Apple's restrictions), but won't be able to actually turn on the blocking.

I've found a way to get the content blockers to load; I'll be posting it here once it's a bit more polished.

@arjanvlek I've updated the repo; could you try it out?

[arjanvlek]

@saagarjha Yes, I will try it out this afternoon. ~~Btw, is your fix meant for the app crashing upon launch, or to get content blockers to load on 32-bit iOS devices?~~ Nvm, just saw it is indeed for the 32 bits devices. Will try it on my iPad 4 (iOS 10) this afternoon :)

Hallo, the app loads, but hangs in a white screen on iPhone 5c. Maybe because i updated the coockielist, or there were errors within Pods-OpenAdBlock-frameworks.sh, i simply deleted. Don't mess your time with old 32-bit iOS cookie blocker. Please can someone tell me why my 5 years old working iPhone should be thrown away? It is working fine. crazy information-technology lifestyle product WRONG__________________________________> In Pods-OpenAdBlock-frameworks.sh, i deleted, because of error: unsupported option

set -o pipefail

function on_error {
echo "$(realpath -mq "${0}"):$1: error: Unexpected failure"
}
trap 'on_error $LINENO' ERR

and in same file, i deleted because of an other error: unexpected syntax {

RSYNC_PROTECT_TMP_FILES=(--filter "P .*.??????")

<__________________________________________________________________________________________________________WRONG Here is my self-generated blockerList.json (I wanted eu-cookie-question-popup blocking only).: blockerList.json.zip

Maybe someone could help? Why did they deleted all the 32-bit app versions from app-store? I bet, 90 % of the worldwide machine-users don't really need new hardware since 10 years.

No!, they need!

Thank you, good bye Peter

UPDATE: the app loads now but still produces error. in Pods-OpenAdBlock-frameworks.sh i changed sh to bash. After app is loading i get: error: Error Domain=SFErrorDomain Code=1 "(null)" and i don't see safari-setting maybe it is an Xcode 8+10 issue. Xcode 12 can't handle this swift version.

Could someone please help? Thank you. stay healthy. try blockparty build 2016 sucessful instead
