(iOS) App crashes in background EXC_BAD_ACCESS KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS

[olofho]

Describe the bug
My application displays a lot of images on the map using <MapboxGL.Images /> and <MapboxGL.SymbolLayer />. When the application is running in the background and iOS tries to reduce the memory usage, the app crashes with the following stack:

This started occuring when I upgraded to the 8.1.0.rc9 version, it does not happen on the 8.1.0-rc.4 version. The difference is that rc9 uses mapbox iOS SDK 5.8.0 and rc4 uses iOS SDK 5.9.0.

To Reproduce
Since this occurs when iOS tries to reduce memory usage by the application I am not sure what the easiest way to reproduce this is, other than displaying a bunch of images, starting another application and try to trigger iOS to reduce memory.

Expected behavior
The application should have its memory reduced without crashing.

Versions (please complete the following information):

• Platform: iOS
• Device: iPhone 11
• Emulator/ Simulator: no
• OS: iOS 14.1.0 (18A8395)
• react-native-mapbox-gl Version 8.1.0.rc9
• React Native Version 0.63.3

Additional context
The issue seems to be known and resolved in 5.9.0 with this PR: mapbox/mapbox-gl-native#16391 which is the reason why it doesnt crash in rc4 which uses that iOS SDK version. Having future versions of this SDK use iOS SDK >= 5.9.0 should fix this if my understanding of the issue is correct.

[ferdicus]

Did you try using a newer iOS SDK version?

[olofho]

I have tried rc4 = iOS 5.9.0 which does not crash and rc9 = iOS 5.8.0 which does crash. I have not tried any other iOS SDK.

[mzu]

I am seeing the same thing with rc9: crashlog.

[peterleng]

I am seeing the same thing with rc9

[ferdicus]

Please try with newer iOS SDKs and report back.
Current one is v6.2.1

Please check this ticket as a guide on how to increase iOS version

Added $ReactNativeMapboxGLIOSVersion = '~> 6.2.1' to /ios/Podfile

pod install produces following error:

I have the access token set inside ~/.netrc according to mapbox docs.

Any ideas?

I'm facing the same problem when adding $ReactNativeMapboxGLIOSVersion = '~> 6.2.1'
I'm using react native 63.3 and Mapbox @react-native-mapbox-gl/maps": "^8.1.0-rc.9"

[ferdicus]

not sure, still looks like a credential setup issue

mapbox/mapbox-navigation-ios#2692

Maybe you have to cache bust pods or something? I'm no iOS guy, sorry

[rkrueger11]

Also getting this issue... same versions of RN and RN-Mapbox-Gl/Maps.

Edit: Just saw that 6.3.0 was released yesterday too, tried that, but it wouldn't work because it didn't pass the max version allowed.

[rkrueger11]

Okay, might be a false alarm, I didn't have an ~/.netrc file saved. Sorry!

[SalihZinaty]

@rkrueger11
Can you tell me what to put inside this file and where to put it?
Thanks!

[ferdicus]

@SalihZinaty, https://docs.mapbox.com/ios/maps/overview/#configure-credentials
See section Configure your secret token

[SalihZinaty]

i got now
The requested URL returned error: 403 Forbidden
this is my .netrc file:
machine api.mapbox.com
login mapbox
password "My Token"

[janziemba]

@ferdicus Thank you, it works! Please do you know how to use it in continuous integration tool like Github Actions?

[SalihZinaty]

now it works for me, i had to add new TOKEN and give the DOWNLOADS:READ feature to the token

[mzu]

now it works for me, i had to add new TOKEN and give the DOWNLOADS:READ feature to the token

Works for me as well. Plus making sure that the .netrc file is in the home directory on your Mac. I had it in my project folder which was wrong.

[ferdicus]

hey guys, would be nice if one of you, now that you successfully managed to upgrade, would add a little paragraph about it to the iOS installation guide 👍🏿

[ferdicus]

Closing as resolved - use newer iOS sdk
