Hi. I encounter some random crashes of my camera app. After some investigations, I found that it's terminated by the system and the crash log did be generated but the information is not quite useful, and here is the log found via the Console app. Termination & Crash log "Camera not actively used; AVCaptureEventInteraction not installed": Received termination request from [osservice<com.apple.SpringBoard>:10931] on <RBSProcessPredicate <RBSProcessInstancePredicate| [app<com.juniperphoton.PhotonCam]>> with context <RBSTerminateContext| explanation:Capture Application Requirements Unmet: "Camera not actively used; AVCaptureEventInteraction not installed" reportType:CrashLog maxTerminationResistance:Interactive> The crash log exported from the device will have some common information like: It's a EXC_CRASH (SIGKILL) type with no termination reason. Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGKILL) Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000 Termination Reason: RUNNINGBOARD 0 It's triggered by the main thread, but it seems to be waiting for an event to process.

The app is in the foreground and users are interacting with some functions like viewing photos or editing photos in the app. When users exit the camera view, like entering the gallery or settings, the camera session will be stopped. Both TestFlight and Debug build will have the same issue. No 3rd party crash reporter is installed(I deliberately disable it in Debug build and TestFlight build) It has adopted the LockedCameraCapture, but current it's running on the main app target(if not, my app will have a button of unlock, so I can confirm about this). Also, when it comes to the memory consumption, there is no JetsamEvent around the crash time. Device and app information Additionally, some information about the tech stack and the current state of my device and my app: iPhone 16 Pro with iOS 18.2 Beta 3. The app is a camera based app(it's PhotonCam and you can find it on the App Store), its main functionality is the camera feature using AVFoundation + Core Image + Metal to deliver camera functionality. It has adopted the Camera Control, AVCaptureEventInteraction and LockedCameraCapture features. If I remember it right, it occurs in iOS 18.1 Release build, but currently I have no such device to confirm. But in iOS 17.x the issue has never happened. Regarding to this termination, on top of my head is the "watchdog" mechanism that will terminate the process that is running on the LockedCameraCapture feature. However I can make sure that currently the app is running as the main target on the home screen. Has anybody encountered this kind of issue and has found some solutions? Thanks in advance.

When using PhotosPicker in SwiftUI to let users pick a photo, it will fail to load after switching to the "Collections" tab on iOS 18. This issue doesn't occur on iOS 17. Additionally, using PHPickerViewController will still have the same issue. The code is pretty simple: struct ContentView: View { @State private var selection: PhotosPickerItem? = nil var body: some View { VStack { PhotosPicker("Pick photo", selection: $selection) } .padding() } } And I create a repo for this code: https://github.com/JuniperPhoton/PhotosPickerIssueiOS18 This issue has been reported via Feedback app, and the report ID is FB15069998. I tested in the Xcode 16 Beta 6 and iOS 18 Beta 8. However with the Xcode 16 RC and the iOS 18 RC, this issue still exists. Hoping to find out any workaround to resolve this issue. Thanks.

Hi there. I build a ControlWidget to let users perform action in the control center. The Image View inside the ControlWidgetButton fails to render the images from the Assets. It seems like it can only render Symbols from SFSymbols using the Image(systemName:) API. Here is the code to reproduce this issue: struct LockedCamWidgetExtensionControl: ControlWidget { var body: some ControlWidgetConfiguration { StaticControlConfiguration( kind: "com.juniperphoton.widget.control" ) { ControlWidgetButton(action: MyAppCaptureIntent()) { Image(.actionButton) } } .displayName("Launch Camera") .description("A an example control that launch camera.") } } Note that I can ensure the image can be displayed in the normal Widget in Home Screen and its target also includes the Widget Extension itself. So is this a feature or a bug? If we can only use the SFSymbols provided by the system, then users are hard to distinguish the difference between apps. I tested the app built agains Xcode 16 Beta 5 and iOS 18 Developer Beta 6.
