Fix Geometry Dash Crashing on iPhone or iPad

Source-checked About 10 minutes

Answer

Geometry Dash is currently available for iPhone and iPad, so the old claim that the game is a 32-bit app that cannot run on a current iPhone is no longer correct. Close and reopen the app, restart the device, then install Geometry Dash and iOS or iPadOS updates. Delete and redownload the game only after you accept Apple's warning that locally stored app data can be lost.

Note when the crash happens

Check whether Geometry Dash closes at launch, when opening one level, or after playing for a while. A crash limited to one level is different from an app that never reaches its menu.

Close and reopen Geometry Dash

Open the app switcher, swipe up on Geometry Dash to close it, then open it again. Apple recommends closing an app only when it is not responding or working correctly.

Restart the iPhone or iPad

Restart the device normally, unlock it, and test Geometry Dash before changing storage or account settings.

Update the game

Open Geometry Dash's official App Store page. Tap Update if it appears, then test the same level again.

Update iOS or iPadOS

Open Settings > General > Software Update and install a compatible update if one is offered. Keep the device connected to power and Wi-Fi during a system update.

Protect progress before deleting

Use any progress-saving option you already set up and confirm that you know its sign-in details. Apple warns that deleting an app can remove data stored only inside that app. If you cannot confirm a recoverable copy, skip deletion and contact the developer first.

Redownload only as the last device check

If the crash affects the whole app and your progress is protected or you accept the possible loss, delete Geometry Dash and redownload it from the official App Store page. Test before restoring other changes.

If it does not work

  • If only one downloaded or custom level crashes, test an official level and report the specific level instead of reinstalling the whole app.
  • If the App Store page says the device is incompatible, keep the exact iPhone or iPad model and software version when contacting the developer through the App Store listing.
