Odd errors when testing on iphone, after device is disconnected

I've noticed that when I upload my code to my test device, it works fine... right up to the point that I unplug it from the computer. I assume this is because it needs to connect to the debugger or something, but I'd very much like to ensure that the program will work once it's distributed. How should I go about setting up the program so I can test it without a direct computer connection?

You don't need to have your device plugged in to test your app. Just tap its icon from Springboard to launch it. I test my iPhone and iPad apps "offline" in this manner all the time.

This is becoming more and more puzzling then. Have any of your applications made use of the Documents folder, or SQLite databases? I've checked the file names and I know about case sensitivity in the iPod, so it's not that before anyone suggests it.

I think I'm narrowing down the problem. It seems that the program doesn't like it when I substitute the SQLite database on my computer into the device's documents folder. I don't know why this should be, as they're both made by the same program.

+1 A:

You app is probably launching in the debugger, and you are crashing that process.

First start your app (Build & Run), then quit the app on the device, and then quit the debugger (hit Stop in Xcode), before pulling the cable. They you can (re)start your app on the device with no debugger in the loop.

Thanks, that helps a lot. Still got the weirdness with it not accepting my pre-generated SQLite file though. Need to sort that out, because I'll be wanting to ship an existing SQLite database with the program.
