Title / Summary
Crash in libquic.dylib when app is backgrounded and issues an HTTP/3 request
Description
On iOS 26, the app crashes inside libquic.dylib while performing a network request using HTTP/3 (QUIC) after the app has moved to the background. The crash happens within low-level QUIC / libquic internals.
Reproduction Steps
Launch the app, perform normal operations.
Background the app (press home / switch away).
While in background, trigger a network request that uses HTTP/3 / QUIC.
Observe that the app crashes (stack trace pointing into libquic.dylib).
Expected Behavior
The HTTP/3 request in background should either be handled gracefully (fail or complete) without causing a crash; the app must not be terminated due to internal libquic failures.
Actual Behavior
The app crashes with signals/exceptions coming from libquic.dylib (in the QUIC / packet building / encryption / key state logic) when a HTTP/3 request is made in background.
Environment / Device Information
• OS: iOS 26
• Device: iPhone 13 Pro Max
• Network environment: (Wi-Fi / Cellular)
• HTTP/3 support: enabled in URLSession / Network framework
