After upgrading to iOS 17, Thread Performance Checker is complaining of priority inversion when converting a CVPixelBuffer to UIImage through a CIImage instance. It might be a false-positive or an issue?
- (UIImage *)imageForSampleBuffer:(CMSampleBufferRef)sampleBuffer andOrientation:(UIImageOrientation)orientation { CVPixelBufferRef pixelBuffer = CMSampleBufferGetImageBuffer(sampleBuffer); CIImage *ciImage = [CIImage imageWithCVPixelBuffer:pixelBuffer]; UIImage *uiImage = [UIImage imageWithCIImage:ciImage]; NSData *data = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(uiImage, 90); }
The code snippet above, when running in a thread set to the default priority results in the message below:
Thread Performance Checker: Thread running at User-interactive quality-of-service class waiting on a lower QoS thread running at Default quality-of-service class.
