"The application "wedict" cannot be opened

[tarantulas2]

hello everyone,

Every time I try to open wedict application on my new jailbroken iphone 3g 2.0, it says the application "wedict" cannot be opened, and it won't open.

Any suggestions?

My iphone 3g is jailbroken. I added hebrew language, and hebrew dictionary to wedict, using cydia. It worked for a while, but no more...what is up?

Thanks

Maybe it's the Hebrew (Hebdict) that killed it. I have the exact same problem using a 2G phone.

you need to launch webdic once before u install the hebrew dictionary. you should delete both and do it again in order.

I have the same problem with my iPhone 3G jailbroken to 2.0.1. This is very frustrating as I do not find the default dictionaries as good as the add-ons.

I too get the same message. I last installed Merriam-Webster and for a time it was working, but today it's not.

I'm on 3G JB 2.0.2

In Cydia, if you go to install a new dictionary, the author acknowledges the issue in the FAQs, saying ...

Q1: Why does the free version of WeDict often become unusable after a reboot, when one of your add-on packages for it are installed?

A1: This is a known problem, believed to be related to application signing. I don't have a solution to it yet, but it's being looked into and will be fixed as soon as it's (hopefully) possible to do so.

Q2: If WeDict does become unusable, what do I do?

A2: First, reinstall WeDict. Second, open Cydia, go to the "Manage" page, select "Packages" and then, for each dictionary you had installed, find it in the list, press its "Modify" button and select "Reinstall". Until I resolve the issue in Q1/A1, I suggest only installing just the minimal number of dictionaries that you need, in order to reduce the pain of having to reinstall them over and over.

So I guess we're just going to have to be patient until this issue is resolved.

Well, I guess you are right yossarian. I will try to never restart my iphone3g, but Iprobably will need to soon.

Every time it does not work, I just have to delete wedict from itunes and my iphone3g, then reinstall it, then reinstall the hebrew add on from cydia.

man, I wish it would just work...
thanks again

I tried removing the application signing by using ldid -S WeDict, and it worked until a reboot. After the reboot the app would open and then close after a bit. From the shell the app would report "Bus error".

sorry but whats this got to do with web apps

[jiggykilla]

its definately an itunes problem..........i got this like ten times after syncing with itunes.

The latest update for WeDict from the App Store seems to have corrected the problem with add-on dictionaries crashing the program.
