I've an app I've been working on for quite some time now. It uses SpriteKit. The windows with the scenes in them are generated programmatically. All of a sudden, when it's up and running through XCode, the console throws out a continuous stream of errors - probably in the order of 1 per second. The main one that makes up this stream is:
2022-03-07 20:07:38.765930+0000 My*App[8461:465673] [] CurrentVBLDelta returned 0 for display 1 -- ignoring unreasonable value
But others that appear slightly less frequently are:

I really don't know how else to describe this. I can only imagine having to hand over the entire project as lately I've only been working on the storyboard file so how would this affect it? To be honest the only change I can see is my upgrade to OSX 12.2.1. It's definitely something to do with SpriteKit since not initialising a window with a scene in it stops the errors from showing.

Add a CommentDid you make any progress with this? I'm seeing this -- much more frequently than once per second -- working in our MacOS app in XCode 13. It's debilitating, as you literally can't do anything in XCode, or the app, while that's going on. I'm also on 12.2.1, with an M1 MBP.
It suddenly seems to have stopped. Not (seemingly) linked to an update, but now it just throws out about a dozen lines and then goes quiet. As one of the answers says: it’s a bug. I suppose. I haven’t changed any code related to the sprites.
@jeffpek42, can you put a regex pattern into the console’s filter to at least help you see other errors? I’m not in front of the computer so am only guessing….
