Hi team,

We have an iOS app. Since July 15, 2022, our users met a kind of app crash due to an invalid memory fetch. The time is when Apple released iOS 16 beta officially. After Sep 12, crash count started to increase drastically. The time is Apple released iOS 16 officially.

Last but not the least. The users who met this kind of app crash use iOS16+. We think this crash is related to iOS 16 SDK. We're appreciate that you can provide some clues how to fix this kind of crash.

How about you debug your app in Xcode with iOS 16 and find out where the crash is happening? Perhaps something changed between iOS 15 and 16, and you haven't updated your app to handle it?

I didn't get the reply from Apple. Do you know how to re-produce the crash? What's your app?

Disable long press selection of the image in webview，you will fix the crash！

Hi everyone!

As the provider of an SDK we are observing exactly the same crash for the iOS app of one of our partners. Only iOS 16 devices affected, but not limited to specific sub versions. Crashes suddenly appeared April 18th, 2023, for several app versions and not related to a release of a new app version or server-side config changes. Stack traces of other threads not showing any method call of app features or our SDK.

30.000 crashes within 3 days affecting 18.600 users so far.

Are there any updates on this topic?

Hi Everyone i find the bug only happend in iOS 16.0.<iOS16.2 because ImageAnalysisutilit has bug . if you don't need copy object from image in WKWebview you can hook the default behavior to ignore long press gesture analysis image until timeout fallback to <=iOS 15.x behavior (only can copy image without copy object from image )

https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/releases/Apple/Safari-16.1-iOS-16.1.1/Source/WebKit/UIProcess/ios/WKContentViewInteraction.mm

static void hook2(void) {
    
    Class class = objc_getClass("WKContentView");
    SEL selector = sel_registerName("imageAnalysisGestureDidBegin:");
    Method m = class_getInstanceMethod(class, selector);
    const char *type = method_getTypeEncoding(m);
    IMP newImp = imp_implementationWithBlock(^void(id self,UILongPressGestureRecognizer *ges) {
        // do nothing

    });
    if (m == NULL || class == NULL) {
        return;
    }
    IMP oldImp = class_replaceMethod(class, selector, newImp, type);
}
void hookStart() {
       if (@available (iOS 16.0, *)) {
        if (@available (iOS 16.2, *)) {
            return;
        } else {
           hook2();
        }
    }
