I have created an app for iOS using React Native. I've gotten the app to a point where it works on the iPhone simulator via the Expo App. It even works when creating a build of the app to distribute using TestFlight. Now, I want to add Google Ads into the app. However, I've learned that Google Ads won't work via an Expo build. Instead one has to create a development build to test the ads in the app and see how they look. I've also finally been able to compile a successful development build using eas (expo application services). When I install the app on the simulator and try to open it however, the app crashes almost immediately and I don't know why. I have tried deciphering the symbolicated crash report, but I have not been able to figure out what could be causing the error. It looks like it has something to do with the user interface. Below is the thread where the app crashes: Thread 0 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread 0 libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x11324a14a __pthread_kill + 10 1 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x1132abebd pthread_kill + 262 2 libsystem_c.dylib 0x7ff80016dd1c abort + 133 3 libc++abi.dylib 0x7ff8002c6d12 abort_message + 241 4 libc++abi.dylib 0x7ff8002b951a demangling_terminate_handler() + 266 5 libobjc.A.dylib 0x7ff800061fba _objc_terminate() + 96 6 libc++abi.dylib 0x7ff8002c616b std::__terminate(void (*)()) + 6 7 libc++abi.dylib 0x7ff8002c6126 std::terminate() + 54 8 libdispatch.dylib 0x7ff8001796ec _dispatch_client_callout + 28 9 libdispatch.dylib 0x7ff80017d1e2 _dispatch_block_invoke_direct + 508 10 FrontBoardServices 0x7ff807a8b3a7 __FBSSERIALQUEUE_IS_CALLING_OUT_TO_A_BLOCK__ + 30 11 FrontBoardServices 0x7ff807a8b281 -[FBSMainRunLoopSerialQueue _targetQueue_performNextIfPossible] + 188 12 FrontBoardServices 0x7ff807a8b3cf -[FBSMainRunLoopSerialQueue _performNextFromRunLoopSource] + 19 13 CoreFoundation 0x7ff800429ff3 __CFRUNLOOP_IS_CALLING_OUT_TO_A_SOURCE0_PERFORM_FUNCTION__ + 17 14 CoreFoundation 0x7ff800429f35 __CFRunLoopDoSource0 + 157 15 CoreFoundation 0x7ff800429732 __CFRunLoopDoSources0 + 215 16 CoreFoundation 0x7ff800423e67 __CFRunLoopRun + 919 17 CoreFoundation 0x7ff8004236ed CFRunLoopRunSpecific + 557 18 GraphicsServices 0x7ff8103ba08f GSEventRunModal + 137 19 UIKitCore 0x7ff805cdf6ee -[UIApplication _run] + 972 20 UIKitCore 0x7ff805ce416e UIApplicationMain + 123 21 LeftOff 0x10f870380 main + 96 22 dyld_sim 0x112d3a3e0 start_sim + 10 23 dyld 0x113d57366 start + 1942 I have been trying to solve this for some days now and could really use some help. I have tried changing versions of dependencies in my app too, with a focus on those that manage the UI.

Please help.

if we define a property in the following way: @property (atomic) NSString *latestObject; Can we assume that the read write to that value is thread safe? i.e the value will be correct. Or it is better to write our own setter/getter with Locks?

I have a public swift function with the below declaration : public func InternalMain (_ pNumOfArgs : Int32, _ pCmdlineArgs : UnsafeMutablePointer<UnsafeMutablePointer<Int8>?>) -> Int32 {..} I need this function as public because I need to invoke in from a different library. But the above declaration produces an error in my generated swift header i.e '-swift.h' file because 'UnsafeMutablePointer<UnsafeMutablePointer?>' type cannot be represented in the swift generated header. Can someone help how do I get past this. This is a class independent function and I tried using the '@nonobj' to prevent this from getting in the generated header but it still gives an error.

In swift if using custom dateFormat like "dd-mm-yyyy" and device follows japanese calendar now get dateForm dateFormatter , expected "30-05-Reiwa6". but dateFormatter return string is "30=05-0006"

DatePicker always get timeFormat from device setting, but i need to show time in datePicker based on My app setting not device setting. any solution for this problem I tried to set locale "us_POSIX" locale for 12 hour and "us_GB" for 24 hour format this way is work in gregorian calendar , but in japanese calendar not showing year properly like (picker showing " 6 " instead of " Reiwa 6 " )

I used a custom time format in the DateTimePicker, such as 'hh:mm a' for 12-hour format. Although the device's time format is set to 24-hour mode, my sample app displays time in 24-hour format like '23:10' instead of the desired 12-hour format like '11:10 PM'. I've already set the locale for the 12-hour format. Has anyone else encountered this issue, and what could be the solution?

Hi. We have weird trouble related to the multi-threading. Does anyone have ideas how to resolve or avoid? Sample Code // sample.hpp class Sample { public: Sample(); ~Sample(); void Init(); void Dealloc(); void OnEvent(); private: std::mutex sample_mutex_; int counter = 1; } // sample.cpp #include "sample.hpp" Sample::Sample() {} Sample::~Sample() {} void Sample::Init() { std::async([]() { std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::seconds(2)); this->OnEvent(); }); } void Sample::Dealloc() { std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock(sample_mutex_); counter = 0; } void Sample::OnEvent { // called from another thread std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock(sample_mutex_); counter += 1; } // obj_sample.h @interface ObjSample : NSObject - (id _Nonnull)init; @property(nonatomic, readonly) std::shared_ptr<Sample> sample; @end // obj_sample.mm @implementation ObjSample - (id _Nonnull)init{ if (self = [super init]) { _sample = std::make_shared<Sample>(); _sample->Init(); } return self; } - (void)dealloc { sample->Dealloc(); } @end What happens the deadlock happens. according to the debug navigator with the Xcode, we figured out 2 facts below. OnEvent does not end although it looks completed. void Sample::OnEvent { // called from another thread std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock(sample_mutex_); counter += 1; } // <= Thread 35: stop here Sample::Dealloc is run on the same thread of OnEvent. // debug navigator Thread 35 2 Sample::Dealloc <- this is weird. 3 Sample::OnEvent We guess they causes the deadlock. probability less than 10% Environment MacOS: 14.3.1(Apple M1) Xcode: 15.3 iOS Simulator: 17.0.1

I'm working on an FFI for working with ObjectiveC/Foundation/Metal. AFAIU, as many APIs create and autorelease objects, I need to ensure that an NSAutoreleasePool is active when calling into these APIs. So I've created a wrapper that basically mimics @autoreleasepool by creating and initializing an NSAutoreleasePool, running some code, and then draining the pool. So far so good; I'm using this functionality around most of my entry points into the ObjectiveC world. There's two issues I don't understand though. The first is that NSAutoreleasePool initialization seems to require an active autorelease pool, which seems like a chicken-and-egg problem. Running with OBJC_DEBUG_MISSING_POOLS=YES and breaking on objc_autoreleaseNoPool, I see: objc[30336]: MISSING POOLS: (0x1e2e89c40) Object 0x6000007e0050 of class __NSCFString autoreleased with no pool in place - just leaking - break on objc_autoreleaseNoPool() to debug (lldb) bt objc_autoreleaseNoPool at /usr/lib/libobjc.A.dylib (unknown line) _ZN19AutoreleasePoolPage17autoreleaseNoPageEP11objc_object at /usr/lib/libobjc.A.dylib (unknown line) _ZN19AutoreleasePoolPage4pushEv at /usr/lib/libobjc.A.dylib (unknown line) _CFAutoreleasePoolPush at /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation (unknown line) -[NSAutoreleasePool init] at /System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Versions/C/Foundation (unknown line) macro expansion at /Users/tim/Julia/pkg/ObjectiveC/src/syntax.jl:163 [inlined] NSAutoreleasePool at /Users/tim/Julia/pkg/ObjectiveC/src/foundation.jl:427 The second, related problem is that some APIs that are called by Metal from a background thread I don't control: (lldb) bt * thread #11, queue = 'com.Metal.CompletionQueueDispatch', stop reason = breakpoint 1.1 * frame #0: 0x000000018c21b9e8 libobjc.A.dylib`objc_autoreleaseNoPool frame #1: 0x000000018c1eb99c libobjc.A.dylib`AutoreleasePoolPage::autoreleaseNoPage(objc_object*) + 252 frame #2: 0x000000018c21c9ec libobjc.A.dylib`AutoreleasePoolPage::push() + 76 frame #3: 0x00000001aaef9694 IOGPU`-[IOGPUMetalBuffer dealloc] + 104 frame #4: 0x00000001f83554e4 AGXMetalG15X_B0`-[AGXBuffer dealloc] + 44 frame #5: 0x00000001f837eb98 AGXMetalG15X_B0`-[AGXG15XFamilyBuffer dealloc] + 76 frame #6: 0x000000019687c1c4 Metal`MTLResourceListChunkFreeEntries(MTLResourceListChunk*) + 64 frame #7: 0x000000019674e2b0 Metal`-[MTLResourceList releaseAllObjectsAndReset] + 72 frame #8: 0x00000001aaefbd10 IOGPU`IOGPUMetalCommandBufferStorageReset + 36 frame #9: 0x00000001aaefbcac IOGPU`IOGPUMetalCommandBufferStorageDealloc + 76 frame #10: 0x00000001aaefa130 IOGPU`-[IOGPUMetalCommandBuffer didCompleteWithStartTime:endTime:error:] + 240 frame #11: 0x000000019674dce4 Metal`-[_MTLCommandQueue commandBufferDidComplete:startTime:completionTime:error:] + 108 frame #12: 0x00000001aaf03b54 IOGPU`IOGPUNotificationQueueDispatchAvailableCompletionNotifications + 128 frame #13: 0x00000001aaf03c60 IOGPU`__IOGPUNotificationQueueSetDispatchQueue_block_invoke + 64 frame #14: 0x000000018c4049d0 libdispatch.dylib`_dispatch_client_callout4 + 20 frame #15: 0x000000018c420c5c libdispatch.dylib`_dispatch_mach_msg_invoke + 468 frame #16: 0x000000018c40bd28 libdispatch.dylib`_dispatch_lane_serial_drain + 368 frame #17: 0x000000018c421998 libdispatch.dylib`_dispatch_mach_invoke + 444 frame #18: 0x000000018c40bd28 libdispatch.dylib`_dispatch_lane_serial_drain + 368 frame #19: 0x000000018c40ca08 libdispatch.dylib`_dispatch_lane_invoke + 432 frame #20: 0x000000018c40bd28 libdispatch.dylib`_dispatch_lane_serial_drain + 368 frame #21: 0x000000018c40c9d4 libdispatch.dylib`_dispatch_lane_invoke + 380 frame #22: 0x000000018c41761c libdispatch.dylib`_dispatch_root_queue_drain_deferred_wlh + 288 frame #23: 0x000000018c416e90 libdispatch.dylib`_dispatch_workloop_worker_thread + 404 frame #24: 0x000000018c5b2114 libsystem_pthread.dylib`_pthread_wqthread + 288 (lldb) c Process 26902 resuming objc[26902]: MISSING POOLS: (0x1e2e89c40) Object 0x14c8a2400 of class AGXG15SDevice autoreleased with no pool in place - just leaking - break on objc_autoreleaseNoPool() to debug Again, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to run this under an autorelease pool.

I have a class category declared and compiled in a mac os static lib: #import <Foundation/Foundation.h> @interface NSNumber(MyExtension) -(NSString *)CallMe; @end then this staticLib is added to a mac console app in XCode and used: #import <Foundation/Foundation.h> #import "MacStaticLib.h" int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) { @autoreleasepool { NSNumber *one = [NSNumber numberWithInt:12]; NSLog(@"%@",[one CallMe]); } return 0; } Compiles fine but fails in runtime, unrecognized selector 'CallMe' send to instance... what's wrong or what I missed? Thanks!!

Hello. iOS 15 and its version of Swift had an issue with applying class level annotations, such as @available to the members of its class. When we attempt to use our Objective-C library to get the class, if there are things inside the class not available on iOS 15, then the call to objc_getClass crashes with EXC_BAD_ACCESS. This appears to have been fixed on iOS 16 and newer, however, as we still support iOS 15, is there a better workaround than having to annotate every needed member of the class with @available, instead of being able to use the class level annotation?

I refer to Google's ESF project code to handle NOTIFY events, but after my notifyQueue is set to QOS_CLASS_BACKGROUND, the process memory gets larger when a lot of events occur. Is there any way to fix this without affecting performance The code is as follows： notifyQueue = dispatch_queue_create("notify",dispatch_queue_attr_make_with_qos_class(DISPATCH_QUEUE_CONCURRENT_WITH_AUTORELEASE_POOL,QOS_CLASS_BACKGROUND, 0)); if (msg->action_type == ES_ACTION_TYPE_NOTIFY) { es_message_t *copied_msg = [self copy_message:msg]; if (!copied_msg) { return; } dispatch_async(self->_notifyQueue, ^{ @autoreleasepool { [self handle:copied_msg]; [self free_message:copied_msg]; } }); }

i’ve seen evidence that UIViewController has logic to prevent its dealloc/deinit methods from running on a background thread. what seems to occur is that, if the last strong reference to a UIVC is zeroed off the main thread, then the VC is logically marked as ‘deallocating’, but actual invocation of dealloc/deinit is enqueued to the main queue. during the window of time between the beginning and end of this asynchronous deallocation, some strange issues can occur. in particular, if the deallocating VC is a parent view controller, then its children can still access it via their parent property. despite this property being marked as weak, a non-nil parent VC reference will be returned. if a weak reference is attempted to be stored to the parent, you get a runtime crash immediately to the effect of: Cannot form weak reference to instance (0x1234) of class <some-UIVC-sublass>... surprisingly, if you load the reference via the objc runtime's objc_loadWeak method, you'll get nil, but no crash. unsurprisingly, if a strong reference to the deallocating parent is stored and persists past its dealloc invocation, you’ll generally end up with a segmentation violation if the reference is accessed. i imagine the UIVC source is quite complex and there are probably good reasons to try and ensure deallocation only ever occurs on the main thread, but it seems surprising that simply passing view controller variables across threads could lead to exposing unsafe references like this. is this behavior expected? assuming not, i've preemptively filed feedback FB13478946 regarding this issue. attached is some sample code that can reliably reproduce the unexpected behavior.

Hello, I am attempting to track down a crash that isn't giving me a lot of information (crash log included below). Here is what I know so far: According to Apple documentation, a crash in objc_msgSend is due to a zombie object. So I have been trying to recreate the crash with zombies enabled, without success. The address of the object being messaged is 0x0000000000000010, a suspect value. It's always 0x10, across thousands of crash reports with slightly differing stack traces and circumstances. That makes me wonder if the runtime is trying to tell me something with that address, but I have been unable to find any documentation to that effect. We have internal analytics that suggest that the crash always happens after the user activates the system PIP video player, and usually also after backgrounding the app. It is also common (though not universal) that the crash occurs after the user has paused the video (and sometimes resumed it). This post is a bit of a Hail Mary; I'm hoping that maybe someone on here will see something I missed, because I have exhausted most of my own avenues of investigation. Many thanks for any help you can provide. 2023-11-30_07-16-00.4347_-0800-ffd5dc1a3d2ca628e1761ccfec5fe79f223d099e.crash

Hello, We have a legacy project that has a NSData category. This category is used to add a new method called "base64EncodedString" that we use for a custom base 64 encoding. Up until iOS 17, everything worked and we had no issue with it. This how we use it: NSString* text = @"This is the string we want to encode"; NSString* strArrRequests64 = [[text dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] base64EncodedString]; We have a breakpoint in our implementation of base64EncodedString - (NSString *)base64EncodedString { size_t outputLength; char *outputBuffer = ....; NSString *result = [[[NSString alloc] initWithBytes:outputBuffer length:outputLength encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] autorelease]; free(outputBuffer); return result; } The strange thing is that we use this method for several calls in our app. In 80% of the cases it triggers the breakpoint and the encoding works as intended, but some calls do not and the encoding does not happen. We have checked the class of [text dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] and for all calls is "NSMutableConcreteData". This is a breaking change for iOS17 and it affects a lot of our clients. We have a solution for this particular case, but there are more categories inside our library which can be affected by this issue. Please advise.

Is there any documentation about the Objective-C ABI changes that cause the above warning warning: mixed ObjC ABI, libSomeLib.a compiled without category class properties ? what are "category class properties"

Hi Experts, I am working on a application where I am calling Objective-C Core WLAN API from golang with below code, darwin_lib.m void ConnectWiFi(char * cInterfacename, char * cSSID, char * cSecurity, char *cSubsecurity, char * cPassphrase, char * cOnexuser, char * cOnexpass) { @autoreleasepool { NSString * interfacename = [[NSString alloc] initWithUTF8String:cInterfacename]; NSString * ssid = [[NSString alloc] initWithUTF8String:cSSID]; NSString * security = [[NSString alloc] initWithUTF8String:cSecurity]; NSString * subsecurity = [[NSString alloc] initWithUTF8String:cSubsecurity]; NSString * passphrase = [[NSString alloc] initWithUTF8String:cPassphrase]; NSString * onexuser = [[NSString alloc] initWithUTF8String:cOnexuser]; NSString * onexpass = [[NSString alloc] initWithUTF8String:cOnexpass]; NSError * connecterr = nil; CWWiFiClient * cwwificlient = [CWWiFiClient sharedWiFiClient]; CWInterface *a = [cwwificlient interfaceWithName:interfacename]; NSSet<CWNetwork *> * network = [a scanForNetworksWithName:ssid error:&connecterr]; **** some more code ***** BOOL result = [a associateToEnterpriseNetwork:network.anyObject identity:nil username:onexuser password:onexpass error:&connecterr]; main.go package main // #cgo CFLAGS: -x objective-c // #cgo LDFLAGS: -framework CoreWLAN // #cgo LDFLAGS: -framework Foundation // #include "clib.h" import "C" import "fmt" func main() { var status C.int = C.ConnectWiFi() time.Sleep(20) *** some more code and long running process *** } Now what I am trying to understand here from memory release point of view is, Is object created in C code will be freed once I reach time.Sleep(20) e.g cwwificlient a spcifically to Core WLAN side or do I have to call release specifically on object? I tried calling release on cwwificlient and program is crashing on second execution, not sure why it would crash on only second execution, why not first time itself? I tried calling release on a and program is not crashing. Do I have to free all the Core WLAN related object myself or autoreleasepool will take care of it? As whole code is inside autoreleasepool, will all the objects be released on it's own even though function is being called from go code? As go's garbage collector has no idea how many objects C code created so go's garbage collector won't be of any help here Is autoreleasepool, can also take care of releasing any alloc object e.g ssid created inside C code ?
