BEHAVIOR App runs great on first install. If I close the app and reopen, many times the network requests fail, most likely due to too many open files. If I restart the app 4 times, everything seems to load fine (until next time). A fresh install works as well. APP Flutter app. Utilizes flutter map package, which displays map tile layers. Otherwise, pulls JSON/API data every so often. Heavy/frequent pulling of tile images (typically ~1000 during a single pan). PROBLEM DEVICES: Issues ONLY happens on physical iPhones (tested on 11 and 15). iOS simulators work fine. Androids work fine On the Androids or simulator, I can pan the map and pull 3000+ tile images, and overlay data, with no issues. TESTING I have inspected disposal methods, closing network clients, even tried "exit(0)" in various places. Have tried app lifecycle widgets on paused, detached, resumed. Nothing changes the behavior. At one point, I thought I had the issue fixed when I changed my DNS from 1.1.1.1 to automatic, since all the working devices seemed to have router-defined DNS and my test device had manual IP. But then the problem came back again. COMMON ERRORS (upon restart) SocketException: Connection failed (OS Error: Too many open files, errno = 24) SocketException: Failed host lookup: 'site.com' (OS Error: nodename nor servname provided, or not known, errno = 8) Sometimes failed to load assets as well (icons, etc). QUESTIONS What is being "fixed" by reopening the app 4 times in a row on the iOS side? Is there anything I can do in the native code, so that the app always restarts fresh, and doesn't "hang on" to anything that may be causing the OS Errors? Could it be an IPv4 / IPv6 issue?
