Hello everyone!

My app is getting a crash in the tableView(_:trailingSwipeActionsConfigurationForRowAt:) function.
Apparently, the app is crashing when trying to get the indexPath.section value. I am attaching the crash log.
This is not reproducible for me. I have the hunch that this might be related to some accessibility feature, but I have not been able to corroborate it yet.

I am not sure how to solve this issue or how to move forward since I still don't know what is causing the app.

Any advice or guidance is really appreciated. Thank you!

You’re crashing because you’ve hit an assert within the Swift getter for the IndexPath.section property. AFAICT there’s only one trap in that getter, which fires if the index path has a count other than 2. For example:

Code Block  // This traps because the count is 1:
let i1 = IndexPath(indexes: [1])
print(i1.section)
// This works:
let i2 = IndexPath(indexes: [1, 2])
print(i2.section)
// This traps because the count is 3:
let i3 = IndexPath(indexes: [1, 2, 3])
print(i3.section)

You should attach the code as well, that's useful to investigate.

Code Block 
enum ScreenSection : Int {
	case firstSection
	case secondSection
	case thirdSection
}
extension TableDelegate: UITableViewDataSource {
  	func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
    		return 3
  	}
	@available(iOS 11.0, *)
  func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, trailingSwipeActionsConfigurationForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> 		UISwipeActionsConfiguration? {
     
    	let section = ScreenSection(rawValue: indexPath.section) <- Here it is crashing
	    guard let screenSection = section else {
    			return nil
    	}
			More code...

Thank you for the responses!

Claude31, I just attached some code that shows the numberOfSections and the line where the app is crashing.

eskimo, thank you for that explanation. I went ahead with trying your example on a playground and indeed, I get a EXC-BAD-INSTRUCTION error for the first and third case. But I don't understand why a trap fires if the indexPath has a count other than 2. I'm also curious if this is somehow related to saying that the table view should have 3 sections?

Do you know if there is something wrong about the code itself? Because I'm receiving that indexPath from the trailingSwipeActionsConfigurationForRowAt function as you can see.
Or this is a bug in the language? or how could I fix this? Checking the indexPath.count and saying that this needs to be 2 in order to access the IndexPath.section property?

Thank you in advance

view should have 3 sections?

No. In an index path the count value is the number of items in the path. In a table view you should always have a count of 2, representing the section and a row respective.

Because I'm receiving that indexPath from the
trailingSwipeActionsConfigurationForRowAt function as you can see.

Indeed. I don’t have any good theories on that front. My next step would be to run the app under the standard memory debugging tools to see if they flush out a latent memory management bug.

Oh, one more thing: The crash log in your initial post isn’t a full Apple crash report. Do you have one of those for this problem? If so, can you post it?

I see. I took this from our crash reporting service. I am attaching a crash log from the user device (this is the same user that was experiencing the crash).
I'm guessing this is a full crash log since this includes the termination signal and reason, etc. Is this correct?

Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to symbolicate this myself. This is needed or are we more interested in the exception/termination data?

Unsymbolicated crash log

Thanks a lot!!

Crash reports contain a bunch of useful info. In this case I wanted to do a couple of things, one of which was disassemble the getter to confirm my understanding of the issue:

Code Block  (lldb) disas -s 0x1c3841820 -c 12
libswiftUIKit.dylib`merged (extension in UIKit):Foundation.IndexPath.section.getter : Swift.Int:
->  0x1c3841820 <+0>:  stp    x20, x19, [sp, #-0x20]!
    0x1c3841824 <+4>:  stp    x29, x30, [sp, #0x10]
    0x1c3841828 <+8>:  add    x29, sp, #0x10            ; =0x10 
    0x1c384182c <+12>: mov    x19, x0
    0x1c3841830 <+16>: bl     0x1c360819c               ; Foundation.IndexPath.count.getter : Swift.Int
    0x1c3841834 <+20>: cmp    x0, #0x2                  ; =0x2 
    0x1c3841838 <+24>: b.ne   0x1c384184c               ; <+44>
    0x1c384183c <+28>: mov    x0, x19
    0x1c3841840 <+32>: ldp    x29, x30, [sp, #0x10]
    0x1c3841844 <+36>: ldp    x20, x19, [sp], #0x20
    0x1c3841848 <+40>: b      0x1c3606acc               ; Foundation.IndexPath.subscript.getter : (Swift.Int) -> Swift.Int
    0x1c384184c <+44>: brk    #0x1

Note the brk instruction at +44 which is the immediate cause of the crash. You can only get to that via the branch of +24. That branch is based on comparing the result of the count property (the call at +16) to the the value 2.

Note that at +44 the count is still in register x0. Looking in the crash report you see this:

Code Block  Thread 0 crashed with ARM Thread State (64-bit):
    x0: 0x0000000000000000   …

so the count is 0.

So, we’ll still not sure how you got here, but at least we know why you crashed.

So since the count is 0, this confirms that the app is hitting a IndexPath.section assert.

This is still weird for me why this is happening, but for the users' sake I will put some defensive code checking that the count property is equal to 2 before accessing to the indexPath.section property. Hopefully, this will prevent this crash.

In the case that for some reason this does not work, I will need to go back to this.

Thank you for confirming this and for helping me out!

I also encounter the same crash, is there any hypothesis on why the indexpath is corrupted. Specially because its coming from UITableview @eskimo?

I have this same problem. Accessing the section crashes.

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, accessoryButtonTappedForRowWith indexPath: IndexPath) { if indexPath.count != 2 { print( indexPath.debugDescription ) print( indexPath.description ) print("hi") } // Outputs // [] // [] // Then crashes let row = indexPath.section == 0 ? indexPath.row : indexPath.row + 2

Same issue here. The IndexPath is coming directly from UITableView.tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, leadingSwipeActionsConfigurationForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UISwipeActionsConfiguration?
