How can I fix user dir permissions for my Cydia app?

**tripkip** · 06-29-2012, 04:52 AM

I am having an issue with my application hosted on Cydia. Users are complaining that the app crashes on startup. The app uses CoreData, I thought it had something to do with this. Weird thing is that it works fine using simulator or on my device when testing. But as soon as it is installed through Cydia it crashes.

Turns out that using "Fix User Dir Permissions" from SBSettings fixes this issue.

Now what can I do about this?

I don't *think* there is. Why don't you just make a regular patch for it? That's how most devs do it.

You can always mention in the package description that you need to run fix user DIR permissions too.

I'd like to find some instructions to create this patch you're talking about. I have no clue myself.
If possible I'd like to integrate this in the app itself so it can be fixed with an update...

I don't have the app either, so I have no clue. Tell me the app name and I'll take a look at it. And yes, that's what I meant lol.
