So we have some self defined error enums which conforms CustomNSError protocol. Not sure if there is something wrong from Error in swift to NSError in objective-c.

This issue is not existed for old iOS version before. And the same code works fine on macOS.

Your errors have to be XPC codable because the system will transport them across process boundaries. I’m not sure why that’s failing in this case, but this is pretty easy to isolate into a test. Set up an anonymous listener, per TN3113, and see if you can send your errors across it.

Thanks for the reply.

The thing is this crash is only seen on iOS. I am thinking NSXPCConnection is not supported by developers on iOS.

Anothing thing is I am using network extension framework，not network system extension. So I guess the encoding/decoding is done in framework itself.

According to the doc，we just need to return NSError object in this function. In swift we return a enum error which conforms to customNSError. So I think it would be converted to NSError object implicitly.

Any thoughts？

Correct. But if this is the problem I think it is, I’ll reproduce on macOS as well.

Right. But NE, regardless of what extension packaging you’re using, is heavily dependent on XPC under the covers.

According to the doc，we just need to return NSError object in this function. In swift we return a enum error which conforms to CustomNSError. So I think it would be converted to NSError object implicitly.

Right. But even with NSError it’s possible to create an object that’s not XPC codable. For example, this will fail in similar circumstances:

WaffleInfo * waffleInfo = …;
NSError * error = [NSError errorWithDomain:@"com.example.waffle-varnish" code:42 userInfo:@{
    @"waffleInfo": waffleInfo,
}];

because WaffleInfo is not XPC codable.
