same for iphone 3.2 using 1.5.1
Well, ain't this a pickle.
When we select SDK 3.2 initially from the dropdown, everything compiles DIRECTLY against the installed 3.2 (and not the latest SDK) libraries. You may remember, from the distant past, that when 4.2 was released, there was a problem (with mmap) where we couldn't run on simulator - tijscore was linked to the "wrong" function location in the static library. So we updated tijscore so that it did the right thing.
Fast forward to this bug!
You select 3.2 SDK from the dropdown - so it compiles against the 3.2 libraries, with the latest tijscore (which was updated to link against the "right" function locations in the BSD system libraries for 4.2). But this introduces a fundamental incompatibility because... you guessed it... some symbols in this NEW tijscore don't match up to the locations in the 3.2 BSD system libraries.
Attached a crash log which demonstrates. Note that the app runs fine on device.
(from [a02f7db3abbb8c9978e80c82506bd974337d5c2a]) [#3032 state:fixed-in-qa] Don't be a schmuck: LINK against the latest simulator SDK, but RUN in the specified one. This is consistent with how distribution/install works. https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/commit/a02f7db3abbb8c9978e80c82506bd974337d5c2a"> https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/commit/a02f7db3abbb...

oh yeah, iphone 3,2 as well (iphone idiom - expected)
