Hi everyone,

I have added WidgetKit to my app but on iOS 13 devices it crashes when the app starts with this error:

Code Block dyld`__abort_with_payload

The part of the code that causes the crash is this:

Code Block static func reloadTimelines () {
   if #available(iOS 14, *) {
      WidgetCenter.shared.reloadTimelines(ofKind: "com.myDomain.myApp.ProgressWidget")
   }
}

I have tried other unsuccessful variations like this:

Code Block @available(iOS 14, *)
static func reloadTimelines () {
      WidgetCenter.shared.reloadTimelines(ofKind: "com.myDomain.myApp.ProgressWidget")
}

The project is in objective-c and I import that class in swift.

But without adding #import "myApp-Swift-h" anywhere, or using that class it keeps crashing.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong or what is happening?

Thanks in advance.

I have an app with WidgetKit running on iOS13 using xcode beta6. I was getting a crash as well, to fix it I added the WidgetKit.framework binary to my app target and marked it "optional" and now the app loads.

To make sure iOS13 code doesn't try to call WidgetCenter I just wrap the calls in:

if #available(iOS 14, *) {
WidgetCenter.shared.reloadAllTimelines()
}

Edit: I try this code on Xcode 11 and work!

Code Block #if canImport(WidgetKit)
   WidgetCenter.shared.reloadTimelines(ofKind: "com.literautas.StoryPlanner.ProgressWidget")
#endif

But it crashes on Xcode 12 beta 4

Awesome, Mark! :D
Marking the WidgetKit.framework as "optional" did the trick!
Thanks, thanks a lot

Marking as optional worked for me as well
