App crashed in iOS 6 when user changes Contacts access permissions

by

I’ve seen this in my own app. And I’ve seen others report this as well. I’m pretty sure this is deliberate behavior. The OS kills any background apps that react to changes in privacy permissions. Apple appears to have taken a sledgehammer approach to this. It’s not a crash (though it may appear so when running in the debugger). Apps get terminated for various other reasons. Add this to the list of reasons. This gives us more reason to do a good job restoring app state upon a full restart of our apps.

Note that this behavior applies to all of the various privacy settings such as contacts, photos, microphone, calendar, and camera.
