A discussion about iOS App Crash Reports is underway. dfabulich reported a large number of Discourse crash reports on their phone, with over two dozen crashes since June 1st, despite not experiencing any obvious user-visible crashes. codinghorror asked joffreyjaffeux to investigate, and joffreyjaffeux has been looking into the issue.
Initial findings suggest the crashes are related to network issues deep in the React Native stack, and while a fix is being worked on, it was not included in the 1.3.0 release. dfabulich provided further evidence of the scale of the problem, sharing a screenshot of numerous crash reports. joffreyjaffeux is aware of the issue’s severity and plans to create multiple builds to address it in the coming weeks. joffreyjaffeux also requested dfabulich’s email address to add them to the Fabric beta list.
I’m an iOS app developer; while investigating issues on my own app, I noticed that my phone had accumulated a rather alarming number of Discourse crash reports in the last few days; easily two dozen crashes since June 1st.
I’ve attached one from yesterday. If you’d like, I can provide way, way more of these.
(To be clear, I hadn’t noticed any obvious user-visible crashes. I open the app primarily to check my notifications, maybe resolve a few flags, and leave.)
thanks for the detailed report. I have installed a custom test build on my phone and I have been using it this week-end and will try to get a clear repro of this.
I think it might already be fixed in the build I had ready to release on the app store but want to confirm this. I will keep you updated.
I have collected a lot of data about crashes, they all look related to network issues deep in react native stack. I will keep tracking this and try to come up with fixes. But I had to release the 1.3.0 without any significant improvements on this.
Yes I’m aware, I did more debugging at the beginning of the week. But everything seems deep in react stack. Could you send me an email address so I can add you to our fabric beta list please? I will make multiple builds and hopefully we can fix it in the next weeks.
