iOS different output whether running in simulator or on device

I yet again have a super weird problem. I get different outputs whether I'm running the application on the simulator or on the iPhone.

See these console logs:

It seems that on the iPhone, the method webViewDidFinishLoad is loaded after the viewDidAppear method.

But on the simulator the webViewDidFinishLoad is loaded before the viewDidAppear method.

What gives?

EDIT: What is even more weird is that this only happens when I click on the firs开发者_JS百科t cell that loads the viewcontroller which has my UIScrollView and UIWebView. All the subsequent cells that I click on the webViewDidFinishLoad method is loaded before the viewDidAppear method.

There has got be some way I can correct this?

You should take into account data Internet connexion on the Simulator is far better than the one on the iPhone device. Be careful when working with synchronous and multithreading.

Your threads are executing in different orders on the phone, vs the simulator. This is not so much a bug as a feature of multi threaded programming. Are you getting crashes in your program or just curious on the execution order?

The simulator is running x86 compiled code in a simulated environment. There are bound to be some differences.

This is why you should always test on an actual device and not rely entirely on the simulator for your testing results.
