App crashed in Beta on the device, but not in debug

Hi, I've created a Beta ad hoc delivery profile, and when I press 'build and run' on the device in beta mode, my app crashes after I press a button. However, when I use the app in debug mode (on the device) it works fine. It also works fine in the simulator and on the device in beta mode (when it's not connected to XCode) Any ideas wha...

Why does Core Data initialization fail when I attempt to do it at these points?

I see how to solve the problem but it bothers me that I don't understand why this doesn't work. I have a UIViewController subclass that uses Core Data, so it needs the NSManagedObjectContext.

iPhone: drawRect called once

I'm calling setNeedsDisplayInRect from an NSTimer function every two seconds. This works perfectly, and draws a square in a random position, with a random color.

Overlaying image above UIScrollView's tiledlayer

My iPhone app shows the user some massive images, I've successfully tiled them and used a UIScrollView to allow them to pan around and look at parts of it in detail.

How to detect level audio level of current segment of mp3 playing using AVAudioPlayer

If i am palying a sound using the AVAudioPlayer in the AVFoundation framework (I can already do this), is there any way to detect the current level of the audio playing, like a VU meter that is listening to the mp3 playing.
