iOS app crashes in CoreGraphics with upscale_provider_get_bytes_at_position_inner when rendering images using the Texture library

• Issue Description:

On iOS 26 and later, a CoreGraphics crash occurs when rendering images using -[UIImage drawInRect:blendMode:alpha:]. Based on the call stack, the crash happens inside CoreGraphics. Under what circumstances does the function upscale_provider_get_bytes_at_position_inner in the stack get called? When attempting to reproduce locally, this code path is never reached even when scaling images.

• Steps to Reproduce:

There are a large number of crash reports in production, but the issue cannot be reproduced locally/offline.

• Expected Results:

1. Explain under what conditions calling -[UIImage drawInRect:blendMode:alpha:] will reach the upscale_provider_get_bytes_at_position_inner logic. Ideally, provide a code example or demo.

2. Provide the root cause of the crash and a workaround/mitigation.

• Current Behavior:

Calling -[UIImage drawInRect:blendMode:alpha:] causes intermittent crashes in production.

• Xcode Version Used:

Xcode Version 26.0 (17A324)
