iOS nRF Toolbox crashes when opening files

[Rocky Liang]

Hi,

The nRF Toolbox app on iOS crashes when opening user added files in the DFU. These files are added to the app via iTunes. The version of the nRF Toolbox is 1.7 which was updated on the 3rd of April, and the iOS version is 8.2. The devices I used to test this app were an iPad Air and an iPhone 6.

On the other hand, the nRF Toolbox app on Android works perfectly fine. It has no problem updating the firmware via DFU.

I look forward to a solution. Thank you so much.

Cheers, Rocky

I have the same problem. It looks like it is failing to parse the manifest.json file. If any section under "manifest" has been assigned null (like "bootloader") then there will be a failure parsing the file. To work around it, I removed all unused sections and it works fine.

I also tried dfu_test_app_hrm.zip, which comes with the SDK, and it also fails. I assume the problem needs to be fixed in the iOS Toolbox.
