Strange app crash from PKPassLibrary passesOfType

Question

I'm experiencing a strange app crash that I'm having a tough time debugging. It seems to happen when calling PKPassLibrary.passes(of:), but I'm unable to reproduce it. We're using a third party crash reporter, which I know can corrupt crash reports - does that seem to be the case here? The whole report is available here: https://gist.github.com/kylebshr/3ed29dd47ee05f2a5e47993bf986b8f4

does that seem to be the case here?

It’s hard to say. Looking at the hand report you posted, there’s no obvious sign that your hang detector is messing things up. However, it’s is very easy to create a hang detector that does mess things up.

If your hang report is to be believed, the main thread has got stuck inside a synchronous XPC. To make progress on that, you really need a sysdiagnose log, and the spin dump that it contains.

How often is this being reported? If it’s often enough that your beta testers are likely to be seeing it, you could ask them to try to get you a sysdiagnose log. I have some hints and tips about that in Using a Sysdiagnose Log to Debug a Hard-to-Reproduce Problem.
