Dear support,

The Boxcar Growl plugin keeps crashing GrowlHelperApp on my Machine. Detailed logs can be found in the attached crashlogs.

I tried both versions of your plugin, 1.2 and 1.3. The crash happens AFTER the notification gets displayed, while the/a sound is playing. The notification that caused Growl to terminate is sent to my iphone.

I've tried all sorts of settings (no sound, sticky window/no sticky window, etc. - with the same result. It does not matter if I click the popup, don't touch the computer at all or which Application triggered the growl: even a click on the "preview" button terminates GrowlHelperApp:

ReportCrash[20717] Saved crash report for GrowlHelperApp[20720] version 1.2 (1.2) to /x/Logs/DiagnosticReports/GrowlHelperApp_2009-12-28-070544_X10.crash

Your competitor "Prowl" or the default/built-in display don't crash, so I guess there might be nothing wrong with my Growl installation.

FYI: I've purchased Twitter and Growl Support in the Appstore.

    Update: Since last night the plugin no longer crashes. I didn't change anything, just restarted Growl (like I did many times during the past days while testing).

    EDIT: Nevermind, plugin stopped working again.

    It's now been 14 days without any sign of the developer(s). If the fee for growl support wouldn't have been ~1$ I'd make a fuss right now. I've switched back to Prowl for the time being and adjusted my AppStore rating.

    Jonathan George: Can you please let us know if you can at least reproduce the problem and if you need more crashlogs., info, etc.

    Add one more "me too" to the discussion here.

    I'm running Mac OS X Server 10.5.8 on a PowerMac G4 if that's relevant… with the latest version of Growl (v1.2) and the latest version of the Growl Boxcar plugin (v.1.3)

    If it's any help, I've attached all of the entries containing "growl" from my Console log. Growl had never crashed on me before installing the Boxcar plugin.

    Until Boxcar is able to resolve this issue, I've added a new item to my launchd process per the directions below which automatically restarts Growl whenever it crashes. I'll still miss a push notification now and again, but it's hard to tell whether it's my kludge or Boxcar itself that's flaking out.

    @Pat - could you post the launchd .plist you used to restart growl on pastie or somewhere? I'm mainly a windows user and you'd save me a lot of time.

    Thanks!

    oops... I started a new thread just now, didn't see this one before that. i'm a little irritated that made the in-app purchase to use growl and it doesn't work reliably, but really i just want to get rid of the plugin that started the problems. boxcar is a nice program for mail notifications, etc... but this growl issue is ridiculous. frustrating that in effort to get more use out of my iPod i've crippled one of my vital services on my Mac!

    I'd like to add mine to the list also.

    Growl will quit AFTER the notification is sent. In my case it is with Handbrake, which is kind of a pain if I have a few queued in. The second one on I will not receive the notification.

    Any updates or fixes?

    I get a few notifications - then the helper crashes.

    Still expecting a reply from the developer. I would gladly pay for an upgrade that fixed this issue, it's a real dealbreaker...

    Not me, I paid for a working service already. In fact I think it's reprehensible to continue selling a service that doesn't work.

    I've moved back to Prowl. I wish Apple would offer an easy way to request refunds for broken in-app purchases. This is clearly a rip-off: The growl plugin never worked.

    Wow. Yes, the growl plugin is unstable. It would be nice if Jonathan would reply. But personally, it's been working flawlessly for me since I initially set it up.

    Hi - new here...

    It seems that I can't download the Boxcar Growl plug-in at all. I click on the download link, a new browser tab opens, and I get a blank page with the URL:
    http://boxcar.io/downloads/BoxcarGrowlPlugin-1.3.zip in the address bar. I've tried it many times with different browsers, I've tried saving the link directly... Nothing.
    Is this a known issue? Anyone else at all having the same problem? The in-app purchase worked well enough to take my buck, but now no plug-in download?

    Shady man...

    Bumping this up. I was having some success for a while using the relaunch script provided in this thread, but even that is no longer working.

    I absolutely love Boxcar, and have purchased a number of push options, but I've been really disappointed with Growl push. The Boxcar service seems to be rock stable, it's just the stupid Growl plugin. This is the kind of situation where I wish I knew Mac programming better, because I would really love to help get this up and running.

    I understand you're probably backed up on the Facebook issue now, but this is something that's been happening for several months. If you could take a look at it once Facebook is stable again, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Facebook seems to be resolved for now. Scaling Boxcar has been tough
    for the last few weeks, and has taken all of my attention. Mid last
    week we moved to a new cluster, then on Saturday I rewrote the entire
    polling backend (Facebook included) and migrated all of the
    notifications from MySQL to Redis.

    Phew. Luckily, it's awesomely fast now and stable again. I'll start
    investigating this issue first thing tomorrow morning.

    Thanks for your patience guys. I really, really appreciate it.

    best,

    Any updates on this? I have done some testing myself this past week, and have confirmed a couple of things.

    First, like some other users have mentioned, I am using the Mono growl theme. I started to wonder if that had any effect. So, I switch to a different theme. No change. Growl still crashed fairly often.

    Next, I learned there is a difference in Growl themes. Some are Webkit based while others are Cocoa or Carbon (not sure which). Regardless, my previously used Growl theme was a non-Webkit theme, so I tried using that for a while. Still crashed.

    Now, today OS X 10.6.3 was released. I'm going to download it and do some more testing to see if this makes any difference.

    Negative on 10.6.3. Growl actually crashes first time now on every Boxcar notification. Prowl and other Growl styles are working fine, so it's just Boxcar.
