This can sometimes be an indication that your device is starting to run out
of memory.

The error is shown for a number of reasons (many having nothing to do with
an "invalid" application). One of these is when it fails to load one of the
DLLs required by your application.

If the problem is being fixed by soft resetting the device, one cause of
this may be due to memory pressure which is being resolved by the soft
reset.

Hope this helps,
