Summary
Our app’s WKWebView triggers a WebContent / GPU process crash on iPhone 15 running iOS 26.4. The same flow works on iPad running iOS 26.4.
Environment
- Failing: iPhone 15, iOS 26.4
- Working: iPad, iOS 26.4
- Web stack: WKWebView / WebKit (Safari & Web)
What we see
The WKWebView web process terminates; logs show WebProcess and GPU process exits, followed by RBS assertion failures and (in one WebContent process) repeated containermanagerd XPC invalidation.
Expected
Web content loads and remains stable like on iPad 26.4.
Actual
Web process crashes; page goes blank or WebView recovers only after reload.
