In recent versions, the increase in background abnormal exits is significant. According to monitoring data, it is closely related to the iOS 26 system. Could you please look into the reasons or provide some suggestions for troubleshooting the issue?

Hello,

This is most likely due to the analytics self-correcting after terminations were previously under-reported due to a bug. Please see the "Xcode" section in the iOS 26 release notes: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ios-ipados-release-notes/ios-ipados-26-release-notes

Thanks!

@zhaotaotao have you looked at any of the AnalyticsReports available via the App Store Connect API? One of the crash reports analytics might be a good way to determine differences in Xcode Organizer vs MetricKit vs App Store Connect Metrics data.

@Technology Evangelist could you comment on if the same under-reporting and fixed issue in 26 would also muddy the App Store Connect crashes analytics reports with over reporting?
