This issue is experienced by users running iOS 15.6.1. Getting them to update the OS did the trick.

  • @eskimo I don't suppose you meant 16.5.1?

    I just had a sigabrt running on my iPad with 16.5.1 that seems likely the same. Trying 16.6 next.

    Alas, sigabrt with 16.6, too :(

Are you building the affect framework from source? Or embedding a pre-built binary?

You mentioned that the problem shows up in product. Does it also show up on TestFlight?

@eskimo this issue is experienced by some of our live users. There is no way I can recreate the issue as it works perfectly fine on my development environment, testflight and when downloaded directly from appstore.

And I can find the affected framework "GoogleUtilities" in the pods section but not anywhere else :

Have you been able to test it on the specific iOS version for which you have a crash report?

I didn’t mentioned a specific OS version, so I suspect you’re referring to the OP.

Regardless, if you have an issue similar to this I recommend that you start a new thread about it. Make sure to include a full Apple crash report, per the instructions in Posting a Crash Report.
