We have an C++ app which runs on multiple platforms and is build using the Qt framework. For a while we had issues with unexplainable stack traces reported by testflight users. Now I found out that if I just put throw std::runtime_error("something"); at the start of my main method the resulting crash call stack would not point to my main method. Is there something I can do (compiler flags/variables/code etc) to have the call stack from the actual throw show up in XCode and testflight?

Crash condition: when I update the Xcode version to 15.3 and run the iPhone to load the app on debug mode with the following diagnosing setting: Hardware Model: iPhone 14 pro Role: Foreground Date/Time: 2024-03-08 11:30 -0800 Launch Time: 2024-03-08 11:30 -0800 OS Version: iPhone OS 17.4(21E219) Exception Type: EXC_BREAKPOINT Exception Codes: (code=1, subcode=0x19b1eba48) Exception Note: EXC_BREAKPOINT Triggered by Thread: 1 Thread 1 Queue : com.apple.main-thread (serial) #0 0x000000019b1eba48 in xzm_malloc_zone_free_slow.cold.1 () #1 0x000000019b1e28d0 in xzm_malloc_zone_free_slow () #2 0x00000001a25ef1c8 in pas_try_deallocate_slow_no_cache () #3 0x00000001a10d32f8 in ***::String::String(__CFString const*) () #4 0x00000001a0494ab8 in WebKit::isFullWebBrowserOrRunningTest() () #5 0x00000001a09e1520 in WebKit::WebsiteDataStoreConfiguration::WebsiteDataStoreConfiguration(WebKit::IsPersistent, WebKit::WebsiteDataStoreConfiguration::ShouldInitializePaths) () #6 0x00000001a09d3ae0 in WebKit::WebsiteDataStore::defaultDataStore() () #7 0x00000001a05bc5e8 in +[WKWebsiteDataStore defaultDataStore] () #8 0x00000001a05b6624 in -[WKWebViewConfiguration websiteDataStore] () #9 0x00000001a0576850 in -[WKWebView _initializeWithConfiguration:] () #10 0x00000001a0577e04 in -[WKWebView initWithFrame:configuration:] () #11 0x0000000104cbf724 in -[AAChartView initConfigurationWithFrame:] at /Users/quinn/Documents/objcio/AAChartKit-master/AAChartKitLib/AAChartCreator/AAChartView.m:133 #12 0x0000000104cbf4e8 in -[AAChartView initWithFrame:] at /Users/quinn/Documents/objcio/AAChartKit-master/AAChartKitLib/AAChartCreator/AAChartView.m:115 #13 0x0000000104c133a4 in -[BasicChartVC setupAAChartView] at /Users/quinn/Documents/objcio/AAChartKit-master/AAChartKitDemo/ChartsDemo/BasicChartVC.m:99 #14 0x0000000104c13208 in -[BasicChartVC drawChart] at /Users/quinn/Documents/objcio/AAChartKit-master/AAChartKitDemo/ChartsDemo/BasicChartVC.m:86 #15 0x0000000104c12f9c in -[BasicChartVC viewDidLoad] at /Users/quinn/Documents/objcio/AAChartKit-master/AAChartKitDemo/ChartsDemo/BasicChartVC.m:66 #16 0x000000018d4e530c in -[UIViewController _sendViewDidLoadWithAppearanceProxyObjectTaggingEnabled] () #17 0x000000018d29bfb4 in -[UIViewController loadViewIfRequired] () #18 0x000000018d29a7a8 in -[UIViewController view] () #19 0x000000018d98a384 in -[UINavigationController _startCustomTransition:] () #20 0x000000018d39dca4 in -[UINavigationController _startDeferredTransitionIfNeeded:] () #21 0x000000018d39d3a0 in -[UINavigationController __viewWillLayoutSubviews] () #22 0x000000018d39d304 in -[UILayoutContainerView layoutSubviews] () #23 0x000000018d2b90f8 in -[UIView(CALayerDelegate) layoutSublayersOfLayer:] () #24 0x000000018c6e3e30 in CA::Layer::layout_if_needed(CA::Transaction*) () #25 0x000000018c6e39b4 in CA::Layer::layout_and_display_if_needed(CA::Transaction*) () #26 0x000000018c6e9bb4 in CA::Context::commit_transaction(CA::Transaction*, double, double*) () #27 0x000000018c6e31bc in CA::Transaction::commit() () #28 0x000000018d331280 in _UIApplicationFlushCATransaction () #29 0x000000018d330d78 in _UIUpdateSequenceRun () #30 0x000000018d330468 in schedulerStepScheduledMainSection () #31 0x000000018d330524 in runloopSourceCallback () #32 0x000000018b04162c in __CFRUNLOOP_IS_CALLING_OUT_TO_A_SOURCE0_PERFORM_FUNCTION__ () #33 0x000000018b0408a8 in __CFRunLoopDoSource0 () #34 0x000000018b03f058 in __CFRunLoopDoSources0 () #35 0x000000018b03dd88 in __CFRunLoopRun () #36 0x000000018b03d968 in CFRunLoopRunSpecific () #37 0x00000001cf33b4e0 in GSEventRunModal () #38 0x000000018d4b0edc in -[UIApplication _run] () #39 0x000000018d4b0518 in UIApplicationMain () #40 0x0000000104d42ba8 in main at /Users/quinn/Documents/objcio/AAChartKit-master/AAChartKitDemo/main.m:38 #41 0x00000001ae55ed84 in start ()

The problem, that I am currently facing is related to an electronic program guide screen. I will add a simplified example of what my initial implementation was. ScrollViewReader { ScrollView(axis: [.horizontal, .vertical]) { LazyVStack(pinnedViews: .sectionHeaders) { Section(header: TimelineView()) { ForEach(channels) { channel in LazyHStack(pinnedViews: .sectionHeaders) { Section(header: ChannelLogoView()) { ForEach(channel.programs) { program in ProgramCell(program) } } } } } } } The actual implementation included a lot more modifiers and code, but I never got it to work and gave up because most of the problems happening were so weird that there was no code explaining what is going on. Examples are cells appearing out of the view bounds or just disappearing when you scroll around. I thought those are happening because of the nested Lazy stack both with pinned views and I gave up on that approach. So next I decided to use PreferenceKey for updating the scroll position and offset both the views that need to be pinned based on that. The code looks something like that: GeometryReader { geoProxy in ScrollViewReader { scrollProxy in ScrollView([.vertical, .horizontal], showsIndicators: false) { ProgramGuideView() .background( GeometryReader { geometry in theme.primaryColor.preference( key: ScrollOffsetPreferenceKey.self, value: geometry.frame(in: .named(X)).origin ) } ) .onPreferenceChange(ScrollOffsetPreferenceKey.self) { point in self.position = point //Position is a @State held in the view } } } } On top of the grometry reader I have 2 overlays with offsets for the Channel headers and timeline view. In the program guide view I removed the Lazy stacks and used the normal ones and what was very crucial for this whole combination not to lag was using the drawingGroup() modifier. And it worked like a charm when testing on my iPhone 13 mini, but on all other devices that I have tested (14 Pro Max, 14 Pro, 13, Xs) it lags. The only difference that I am seeing is that on those phones when ran from Xcode an error gets logged - Bound preference key tried updating multiple times per frame. So my questions here are: What is the difference between the iPhone 13 mini and the rest of the deices, for this error to occur, and is there a way to overcome it? Do you have any suggestions on implementing a view like that using SwiftUI, or just improvement/optimisation ideas on the approaches described above? I am sorry if I have made any mistakes writing and copy-pasting the code in the snippets above. Also that I am not including the source code directly but I can definitely add more specifics if someone has interest in the problem. Thanks!

Hi, On enabling UBSAN(UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer) on Xcode a dip in branch coverage is observed. Is this behaviour expected? If the answer is yes, is there a way to enable UBSAN without affecting branch coverage data? Below is the reference of same code base, branch coverage data with enable and disable UBSAN Xcode version: 14.3.1 With UBSAN enable: Total branches: 250733 No of branches hit: 47945 With UBSAN disable: Total branches: 38673 No of branches hit: 11220

I can't figure out why this line of code complains that it's sometimes not being called from the main thread. Shouldn't the fact that this function has the @MainActor attribute on it result in the function being added to the main queue therefore processed on the main thread? Am I'm just naive to how the @MainActor attribute actually works?

Hello everyone, good day. For months now, I have been trying to get the iOS 17 simulator on my MacBook Pro. Unfortunately, it failed during the installation process. When it reached 100%, it showed 'installing,' but, regrettably, it failed and displayed the following error: (-67061 invalid signature (code or signature have been modified) Domain: SimDiskImageErrorDomain Code: 5 User Info: { DVTErrorCreationDateKey = "2024-02-02 13:57:23 +0000"; unusableErrorDetail = ""; } Has anyone ever come across this error? I would appreciate it if anyone could shed light on what it means and provide guidance on how to bypass it before attempting the installation again.

I was making the cancel button of the memo screen in my iOS memo application. But, when I clicked the cancel button, Thread 1: EXC_BREAKPOINT (code=1, subcode=0x18855e560) error appeared. I used dismiss(animate: true, completion: nil) code ComposeViewController Code import UIKit class ComposeViewController: UIViewController { @IBAction func close(_ sender: Any) { dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil). //this code was problem } override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // Do any additional setup after loading the view. } //something more that is comment code '//' }

I'm having a hard time relying on TSAN to detect problems due to its rightful insistence on reporting data-races (I know, stick with me). Picture the following implementation of a lazily-allocated property in an Obj-C class: @interface MyClass { id _myLazyValue; // starts as nil as all other Obj-C ivars } @end @implementation MyClass - (id)myLazyValue { if (_myLazyValue == nil) { @synchronized(self) { if (_myLazyValue == nil) { _myLazyValue = <expensive computation> } } } return _myLazyValue; } @end The first line in the method is reading a pointer-sized chunk of memory outside of the protection provided by the @synchronized(...) statement. That same value may be written by a different thread within the execution of the @synchronized block. This is what TSAN complains about, but I need it not to. The code above ensures the ivar is written by at most one thread. The read is unguarded, but it is impossible for any thread to read a non-nil value back that is invalid, uninitialized or unretained. Why go through this trouble? Such a lazily-allocated property usually locks on @synchronized once, until (at most) one thread does any work. Other threads may be temporarily waiting on the same lock but again only while the value is being initialized. The cost of allocation and initialization is guaranteed to be paid once: multiple threads cannot initialize the value multiple times (that’s the reason for the second _myLazyValue == nil check within the scope of the @synchronized block). Subsequent accesses of the initialized property skip locking altogether, which is exactly the performance we want from a lazily-allocated, immutable property that still guarantees thread-safe access. Assuming there isn't a big embarrassing hole in my logic, is there a way to decorate specific portions of our sources (akin to #pragma statements that disable certain warnings) so that you can mark any read/write access to a specific value as "safe"? Is the most granular tool for this purpose the __attribute__((no_sanitize("thread")))? Ideally one would want to ask TSAN to ignore only specific read/writes, rather than the entire body of a function. Thank you!

I am working on a library, a Swift package. We have quite a few properties on various classes that can change and we think the @Published property wrapper is a good way to annotate these properties as it offers a built-in way to work with SwiftUI and also Combine. Many of our properties can change on background threads and we've noticed that we get a purple runtime issue when setting the value from a background thread. This is a bit problematic for us because the state did change on a background thread and we need to update it at that time. If we dispatch it to the main queue and update it on the next iteration, then our property state doesn't match what the user expects. Say they "load" or "start" something asynchronously, and that finishes, the status should report "loaded" or "started", but that's not the case if we dispatch it to the main queue because that property doesn't update until the next iteration of the run loop. There also isn't any information in the documentation for @Published that suggests that you must update it on the main thread. I understand why SwiftUI wants it on the main thread, but this property wrapper is in the Combine framework. Also it seems like SwiftUI internally could ask to receive the published updates on the main queue and @Published shouldn't enforce a specific thread. One thing we are thinking about doing is writing our own property wrapper, but that doesn't seem to be ideal for SwiftUI integration and it's one more property wrapper that users of our package would need to be educated about. Any thoughts on direction? Is there anyway to break @Published from the main thread?

Hello, I'm trying to build XNU with KASAN support. However I get error: clang: error: unsupported option '-fsanitize=kernel-hwaddress' for target 'arm64e-apple-darwin23.2.0' If I try to compile a non-kernel C code with -fsanitize=hwaddress, I get the same target error. But Apple ships HWASan kernels with KDK, which shows there is a clang which is capable of compiling hwasan code for arm64e. How can we compile hwasan sanitized code ourselves? Is it a private toolchain or released somewhere?

I didn't find any errors in my program, and Xcode didn't report any errors in the program code, but when I ran it, it inexplicably reported an error: Command CompileAssetCatalog failed with a nonzero exit code What should I do?

Hi! I noticed that when I use the simple Textfield in SwiftUI it generates unexpected error: -[RTIInputSystemClient remoteTextInputSessionWithID:performInputOperation:] perform input operation requires a valid sessionID Error: this application, or a library it uses, has passed an invalid numeric value (NaN, or not-a-number) to CoreGraphics API and this value is being ignored. Please fix this problem. If you want to see the backtrace, please set CG_NUMERICS_SHOW_BACKTRACE environmental variable. Here is the code example to repoduce the error: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State private var firstName = "" var body: some View { TextField("First name", text: $firstName) } } How it could be fixed ? Is it one of the bugs that came along with iOS 17 ? Thank you!

I'm writing here because I'm out of ideas now, I allow my iOS app to be used on macOS and previously I was able to launch my app via XCode and perform debugging but suddenly I'm not able to launch my app anymore (I updated my OS (12.6) and my XCode (14.0.1) in the meantime). When I start it I see the icon but then it immediately crashes with following error in the output AddressSanitizer: CHECK failed: sanitizer_mac.cpp:1231 "((ret_value)) <= (((1ULL << 36)))" ... AddressSanitizer: CHECK failed: sanitizer_mac.cpp:1231 "((ret_value)) <= (((1ULL << 36)))" ... (lldb)  I can't even put a breakpoint anywhere as my code doesn't even get executed. I tried a test project and it works there but my project doesn't start up even though it works perfectly fine on iOS/ tvOS and on iPads. How can I fix this error or what's exactly the problem?

Dear Experts, When I try to use Address Sanitizer on my iOS app, it reports "attempting free on address which was not malloc()-ed" whenever a C++ exception is caught. If first saw it inside Apple's libFontParser and filed FB13271831, but I now see it in my own code. The Address Sanitizer stack trace always starts like this: #1 0x215766ae8 in __cxa_decrement_exception_refcount+0x40 (/usr/lib/libc++abi.dylib:arm64e+0x13ae8) Having looked up __cxa_decrement_exception_refcount in the C++ ABI docs, my guess is that the C++ runtime is creating and destroying the exception objects in some way that Address Sanitizer doesn't properly understand, causing it to think that they are being freed without having been allocated by malloc. This is only really a problem because it does not seem possible to continue after ASan has reported this error; the app is terminated. Question: is there a way to tell Address Sanitiser to ignore errors in this function? And/or, is there a way to continue after the error? Thanks.
