NS runtime crashes in iOS18 Simulators
Hello together, I am currently trying to migrate my app from NS 8.7 to 8.8. It seems like NS has an issue on simulators running iOS18. The relevant code block which kills the runtime is the following, hence opening an SFSafariViewController breaks the app. The crash log is attached below,
crashiOS18SimOniPhone15Pro.txt
seems like it is a V8 related issue.
private openUrlWithParametersCompletion(fullUrl: string, frame: Frame): void {
SFSafariViewController.prewarmConnectionsToURLs([NSURL.URLWithString(fullUrl)]);
this.safariViewController = SFSafariViewController.alloc().initWithURL(NSURL.URLWithString(fullUrl));
// color of top and bottom bar
if (this.styleOptions) {
this.safariViewController.preferredBarTintColor = this.styleOptions.preferredBarTintColor.ios;
}
// color of the buttons
if (this.styleOptions) {
this.safariViewController.preferredControlTintColor = this.styleOptions.preferredControlTintColor.ios;
}
// text for dismiss button can be Done, Close, Cancel
this.safariViewController.dismissButtonStyle = SFSafariViewControllerDismissButtonStyle.Done;
this.safariViewController.delegate = this;
if (!this._timeout) {
this._timeout = setTimeout(() => {
const windowScene = UIApplication.sharedApplication.connectedScenes.allObjects.firstObject as UIWindowScene;
if (windowScene) {
const keyWindow = windowScene.windows.firstObject as UIWindow;
if (keyWindow.keyWindow) {
let rootVC = keyWindow.rootViewController;
rootVC.presentViewControllerAnimatedCompletion(this.safariViewController, true, null);
} else {
console.error('no key window');
}
}
this._timeout = null;
}, 150);
}
}

@edusperoni I have seen that you are actively developing on the runtime. Unfortunately, since NS 8.8 I am observing crashes when starting the ios app on an simulator with IOS 18, 18.1 and 18.2. I was now able to get some more insights when debugging with xcode. Unfortunately, I have no idea where to look for in the VS8 code. Might you have some directions on how I could get to the source of the issue?
Note: When running on IOS 17.x simulators I am not seeing the issue. Also I see random crashes of my app on real devices when the app switches between for and background. As this happens not very often I suspect it to be a timing related issue.
When starting the app, the app tries to login via oauth, hence opening a safari browser. I suspect the foreground background switch of the app to be involved with the issue.

Seems like my assumption with SFSafariViewController being the problem is a different issue which is explainable via an iOS18bug.
https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/764468?answerId=806060022#806060022
However, the bug I am seeing above also seems to appear on real devices which would denote the IOS18 issue in the mentioned thread cannot be the source of the problem of my observation.
The issue documented in the thread looks exactly the same like in my usecase, but seems like I am seeing two overlapping issues here:
