It's exact experiences like this that make me scratch my head and say "who is testing this" and "how can it be allowed to ship with clearly broken functionality in the foundation frameworks"?

Products with faults like this can not be allowed to ship, especially from a company such as Apple.

Problems like this are the exact problems that are found if the functionality is properly tested on the supported devices just once.

Again, how and why are people letting the product ship with billed functionality that is clearly non functional?

Well, it doesn't for *any* app that I've written that uses the new automatic save-and-restore - and I've written half a dozen, as test cases. They all work, in the sense that I can test in the normal way: e.g., run from Xcode, click the Home button (on the device or Simulator), stop in Xcode, and run from Xcode again - presto, we launch with restore (proven by how it looks, by logging, etc.).

But if we put the application on a device, launch it from the device, click Home, restart the device, and then launch from the device again, there is no state restoration: we are doing a cold start.

Do you actually *experience* the contrary? If so, is there some piece of the puzzle needed here in my code that would make the difference between save-and-restore working *most* of the time and save-and-restore working even after the device is restarted?
