This is a truly odd situation since it is impossible for me to debug because it runs OK in Debug mode !!!
The app consists of a Login page which contains a TableView, a TextField, and a Button. Users select their userID from the table, enter their pin number in the box, and press the login button. The ViewController has been designed in IB as a XIB file. All outlets have been included in the header .h file shown below:
// WARNING
// This file has been generated automatically by Xamarin Studio to

import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@interface LoginPage : UIViewController {
UIActivityIndicatorView *_LoginBusyIndicator;
UIButton *_LoginButton;
UITextField *_UsersIDEntry;
UITableView *_UsersSelectionList;
}
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIActivityIndicatorView *LoginBusyIndicator;
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIButton *LoginButton;
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITextField *UsersIDEntry;
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITableView *UsersSelectionList;
- (IBAction)OnLoginCommand:(id)sender;
@end
The app crashed the minute I reference the Table, only when packed and installed in release mode into the iPad iOS V8

string cellIdentifier = "TableCell";
public EmployeeLoginTableSource (string[] items)
{
TableItems = items;
}
public override nint NumberOfSections (UITableView tableview)
{
return 1;
}
public override nint RowsInSection (UITableView tableview, nint section)
{
return TableItems.Length;
}
public override UITableViewCell GetCell (UITableView tableView, NSIndexPath indexPath)
{
UITableViewCell cell = new UITableViewCell (UITableViewCellStyle.Default, cellIdentifier);
string item = TableItems[indexPath.Row];
cell.TextLabel.Text = item;
return cell;
}
}
}
Any ideas?
