Memory consumption

MysiaGames

My game was reject from iTunes because the program doesn't run for a memory problem consumption. I 've tested on my iPad and worls fine, but maybe on iPhones have problems. I load at the beginning many retina graphics and 9Mb of sounds. I don't know exactly what amount of memory is available on iPhones or iPads.

When I print on my ingame: print (math.floor(collectgarbage("count"))) , i got 8122. Well, i don't know what is the limit.
Does anyone some hint and number about how to manage memory problem consumptions on Gideros?

8122 is still acceptable.
It might be a problem at the processing time, not memory.
(If you are sure that there is no memory leak at all)

Apple devices will close down an app that loads longer than 6 secs, without any "view change" or something like that.
So at the first load, make sure you give a timer-space between the loading,
For example, you load the graphics, then at the end of the line, put a timer to load the sounds (and a loading screen would be nice).

This might help, but might not. It's just my experience.

It can be possible the time loading entrance, I programmed to wait 4.5 secs, but maybe it could take more. However, i haven't any problem when install the game on my iPad2 (iOs 5.1.1). The iTunes resolution say:

"We found that your app crashed on an iPad 3rd Gen running iOS 6.1.3, which is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines."

I have the next log error. I hope someone could see more help there:
