I’m seeing this as well. App seems to have trouble recovering and is stuck in the app transition screen.

Filed here with relevant server logs:

some problem as well on my side , the thing is , runAppInBackground() has stopped to work completely since I’ve moved to xcode 7.0.1 (new SDK) , also while running device with ios 8.4 (the test before upgrade was passing) the application doesn’t return from background
