Hey, after upgrading XCode to version 14.1, I'm getting instantly crash after starting my ReactNative application on iOS 15.6.1 in release build. Everything is fine either in debug build or downgrading XCode to 13.4 or upgrading iOS to 16.

It's also reproducible if you start release build on iOS 15.5 simulator.

Do you have any idea what might be the issue? Here's crash log:

I have similar issue. My app was built with Xcode 13.4.1. I updated to build with Xcode 14.1 (sdk 16.1) and now the application is running only on iPad OS 16. It is crashing with iPad OS 15 which is not expected (min deployment target is set to 15).

The trace I have:

It seems a system dylib or framework fails to load on iPad OS 15 but I don't know which one. Since I have some auto tests running I am trying to isolate the culprit...

By chance did you progress on the issue ?

I also precise that the crash happens only in release mode (like in the first post).

I was able to remove the crashes by changing all objective C release calls by autorelease.

[myObj release] --> [myObj autorelease]

I am not very satisfied with this as release should work with iOS 15 release mode. What is strange is that I tried a very simple program which just allocs and releases a NSString and it does not crash. So there is a surrounding context for the issue to happen. I am using Qt (5.14.2), the issue maybe comes from it.

I keep posted if I find a solution.

I isolated the issue with a simple HelloWorld. The crash is systematic in release mode if the release method is called from a static library (with arc off).

I can't attach a zip file here... but here below the code that is crashing if embedded in a static library:

#import "HelloStatLib.h"

@implementation HelloStatLib

- (void)echoStatLibInfo {
    NSString *myObj;
    myObj = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:@"hello from static lib"];

    NSLog(@"obj says %@ from static lib", myObj);

    [myObj release];

    NSLog(@"obj is released from static lib!");
}
@end
