Crash when switching from All Stories to a shared story in the Activity Feed on iPhone

I have some detailed steps for this one.  I’m on iOS 8.1.2 on an iPhone 6 using NewsBlur 4.6.1.  I get it fairly frequently because of how I use the app:

  • Launch NewsBlur

  • Share some stories from the All Stories section

  • Quit/kill the NewsBlur app (double-tap the home button, swipe up to close the app)

  • Launch NewsBlur

  • Go to All Stories

  • Go back to the main screen (tap “All” in the top-left corner)

  • Tap on the NewsBlur logo next to your username in the top-left corner of the screen.

  • Tap any shared story in the Latest Activity section to get the shared story list

  • Tap any shared story in the list
    * Crash to springboard

The app does NOT crash if you do this:

  • Quit/Kill NewsBlur
  • Launch NewsBlur
  • Tap on the NewsBlur logo next to your username in the top-left corner of the screen.
  • Tap any shared story in the Latest Activity section to get the shared story list
  • Tap any shared story in the list

It’s going to All Stories before going to your shared stories that causes the crash.  If you go directly to the shared stories it works fine.

Wow, what a great writeup. Was perfect in helping me identify and diagnose the issue. Fix will be out in about a week.
