Connection to assetsd was interrupted or assetsd died

I'm getting this error when using Regift. I think it's related to memory issues writing too large of a gif, but I'm wondering if anyone's seen or resolved this.

Hmm that's a really annoying error! I haven't come across it, so I'm not sure I can help fix it sorry. I will leave this open for a couple of weeks—hopefully someone else will come across it :)

Yeah, it's not your fault. Turns out the CGImageDestinationFinalize loads all images in the GIF into memory at once and writes in one giant operation. If you have too many/too large images you'll run out of memory.
