I have had problems like this as well. In my case, I build an app and run it. It crashes on quit. I move the built app onto the desktop and run it and it works just fine. Move it back to my project folder and it crashes again. I have no idea why. I was reading somewhere that Jaguar automatically does the update prebindings. Could this be a cause?

Certainly prebinding seems to be involved; we're doing a lot of testing on this issue and we see quite bizarre patterns where updating the prebindings sometimes fixes it; sometimes using a different file name fixes it; sometimes moving the app to a different folder fixes it. It actually gets quite a bit stranger than that, even.

And here's a really curious one: sometimes you can build an app, run it, quit it, make some changes, build it again -- and when you run it, 10.2 runs the *old* version of your app! But then if you rename it and launch it again, you can see your changes. The system appears to be doing some sort of caching, and it's not always realizing when it's valid to use the cache.

Anyway, as I said, we're still looking into this, but these are the sort of odd effects to watch out for on 10.2.

Cheers,
