EXC_BREAKPOINT, QuartzCore , Crash CA::Render::Image::new_image
We are seeing crashes in Xcode organizer. So far we are not able to reproduce them locally. They affect multiple app releases (some older, built with Xcode 15.x and newer built with Xcode 16.0). They only affect iOS 18.5. Is there anything that changed in latest iOS? It's hard to tell what exactly is causing this crash because setting symbolic breakpoint on CA::Render::Image::new_image(unsigned int, unsigned int, unsigned int, unsigned int, CGColorSpace*, void const*, unsigned long const*, void (*)(void const*, void*), void*) triggers this breakpoint all the time, but not necessarily with exactly the previous stack frames matching the crash report. Is it a known issue? crash.crash Thank you.

AirDropped Videos from Photos Save to Files Instead of Photos on Receiving Device
My app allows users to capture and save videos to the Photos app using the following Swift code: PHPhotoLibrary.shared().performChanges { PHAssetChangeRequest.creationRequestForAssetFromVideo(atFileURL: fileURL) } completionHandler: { success, error in Videos are successfully saved to Photos and play correctly. However, users report that when they AirDrop these videos from the Photos app to another device (e.g., iPad to iPhone), the videos are saved in the Files app on the receiving device instead of the Photos app. This issue is more common with higher-resolution videos, such as 2K, recorded in HEVC format at 30 fps. I wasn't able to reproduce the issue locally. I've found a thread in public apple forum: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255276865?sortBy=rank but I wonder maybe there are some special flags that I should clear or add to my videos (e.g. PHAssetChangeRequest)? Thank you!

Save MPEG-TS (h264 or HEVC) video stream using AVAssetWriter.
I'm capturing video stream from GoPro camera (I demux UDP MPEG-TS packets) and create CMSampleBuffers from them, this works fine when I display them using CMSampleBufferLayer. However when I dump them to disk using AVAssetWriter and then playback it with AVPlayer, AVPlayer has problems with scrubbing, it also cannot render previous frames, it needs to go back to key frames. Also thumbnails generated with AVAssetImageGenerator are mostly distorted and green, even though I set the requestedTimeToleranceAfter longer than the key frames frequency. When I re-encode saved video once again with AVAssetExportSession and play it back then I can scrub the video just fine. Is it because re-transcoding adds additional metadata to enable generating frames when rewinding the video and scrubbing? If so is there a way to achieve it with AVAssetWriter without much time penalty? I need the dump/save operation to be very fast. I also considered the following: Instead of de-muxing video and creating CMSampleBuffers, maybe I could directly dump the stream to disk and somehow add moov atoms with timing information. Would this approach work? If so where I can find information how to do it? Thank you!

BGAppRefreshTask expires after few seconds (2-5 seconds).
I can see a number of events in our error logging service where we track expired BGAppRefreshTask. We use BGAppRefreshTask to update metadata. By looking into those events I can see most of reported expired tasks expired around 2-5 seconds after the app was launched. The documentations says: The system decides the best time to launch your background task, and provides your app up to 30 seconds of background runtime. I expected "up to 30 seconds" to be 10-30 seconds range, not that extremely short. Is there any heuristic that affects how much time the app gets? Is there a way to tell if the app was launched due to the background refresh task? If we have this information we can optimize what the app does during those 5 seconds. Thank you!.

TestFlight 3.8.0 crashes on launch on iOS 14.1
Seems that recent TestFlight update (3.8.0) is broken on iOS 14.1. It crashes on launch. It worked fine on the same device just few days ago (I assumed it was 3.7.1). I uninstalled the TF and installed it again but it doesn't help. Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT) Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000 Exception Note: EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY Triggered by Thread: 0 Attached is the crash report. I would appreciate if you guys can quickly fix it, or provide a solution. Thank you. Crash report

AVSampleBufferDisplayLayerContentLayer memory leaks.
I noticed that AVSampleBufferDisplayLayerContentLayer is not released when the AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer is removed and released. It is possible to reproduce the issue with the simple code: import AVFoundation import UIKit class ViewController: UIViewController { var displayBufferLayer: AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer? override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() let displayBufferLayer = AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer() displayBufferLayer.videoGravity = .resizeAspectFill displayBufferLayer.frame = view.bounds view.layer.insertSublayer(displayBufferLayer, at: 0) self.displayBufferLayer = displayBufferLayer DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 1) { self.displayBufferLayer?.flush() self.displayBufferLayer?.removeFromSuperlayer() self.displayBufferLayer = nil } } } In my real project I have mutliple AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer created and removed in different view controllers, this is problematic because the amount of leaked AVSampleBufferDisplayLayerContentLayer keeps increasing. I wonder that maybe I should use a pool of AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer and reuse them, however I'm slightly afraid that this can also lead to strange bugs. Edit: It doesn't cause leaks on iOS 18 device but leaks on iPad Pro, iOS 17.5.1

Xcode Organizer, Insufficient terminations data available when no filter applied.
Organizer Terminations tab shows "Insufficient terminations data available" when there's no filter applied: iPhone (All). However it shows data when I explicitly select a device type. This particular app has more users than other apps for which this tab works OK. It used to work fine but stopped working a couple of months ago. The Xcode version doesn't matter (I tried Xcode 14.3.1, Xcode 15.1 and Xcode 15.2). Please check attached screenshot. Thank you.

When and why SKPaymentQueue.default().storefront is `nil` in release builds, all iOS versions
In our app we fetch the storefront country code: SKPaymentQueue.default().storefront?.countryCode We were not sure if all users will have this property available and we track to Bugsnag when this is nil. It turned out that over 6k users don't have this property available (shortly after the release) the number is larger than we expected. Looks like it affects all iOS versions (87 iOS versions from iOS 13.x to iOS 17.x) and models (95 in our case). It is not clear when and why this would be nil. It is not related to internet availability or to the timing of calls (e.g. it happens shortly after the app starts or hours after the app was started). So, when and why would the SKPaymentQueue.default().storefront be nil`? Thanks!
