CA::Render::Encoder::grow - iOS 13 - some app crashes reported in Organizer

We have an iOS app in the App Store. Recently, we see in Organizer / Crashes for that app a new type of crash that seems bound to iOS 13 devices (21 devices affected in the last few weeks, all with iOS 13.1, .2, or .3). Xcode reports that the crashes occurred in QuartzCore, on CA::Render::Encoder::grow(unsigned long).


Any idea what can it be and how it could be fixed? It doesn't look related to our code. Can it be a recent Apple bug? (We didn't have these crash reports before iOS 13.) Thank you in advance.


Here is an extract from the crash log:

You can try to reduce the image resolution to solve the problem
Have you found out what is causing this crash? We too facing this issue.

Hi There, is anyone find the solution of this, and what is the Root cause of the crash?

I am having a similar crash in my app. It looks like the rendering engine in QuartzCore is running out of memory. Did you ever find the cause of the crash?
