We found crash reports from Xcode organizer about some crashes happening only in iOS and iPadOS version 17.3.0 and later across all our releases mostly in background state related to Network SDK.
Unfortunately, we are unable to reproduce the issue. On the crashed thread, it seems to refer to process from Network SDK but we never import and use it directly in our project.
Most of the functions found in the main thread in the crash report can't be accessed from the project, it seems to be internal framework calls in iOS SDK. The crash pointing to this line of code: nw_protocol_error
Bug number: FB13661192
Somehow I cannot attach any crash report here, it always return error This post contains sensitive language. Please revise it in order to continue. whenever I try to submit it. If I remove it, I can submit the post.
I rechecked again just now and it seems to start since 17.2.0.
Thanks for clarifying.

Right. Network framework is our low-level networking API. It’s used by URLSession, so most apps have a strong, albeit indirect, dependency on it.
Looking at your bug the story is… well… complex. You are not the only app seeing a crash like this. There are lots of other apps, and system components, seeing it as well. And there’s some evidence that it arrived in iOS 17.2, although there I see similar issues from older systems.
There are a number of fixes associated with this bug, some in 17.3 and some in 17.4. I thought that the 17.3 fixes might’ve helped here, but it seems that you’re seeing it on 17.3 as well.
Anyway, I don’t think there’s much you can do about this, other than to file a bug (which you’ve already done). Also, please monitor your crash reports to see if any start coming in from 17.4.
ps While it’s probably unrelated to this, one of your crashes has this:
0 vvvvv … fb_swizzledMethod_2 + 0 (FBSDKSwizzler.m:89)
1 UIKitCore … -[UIView(Internal) _didMoveFromWindow:toWindow:] + 1716 (UIView.m:17516)
which doesn’t inspire me wth confidence )-: Swizzling on classes you don’t own, like UIView, is not the path to long-term binary compatibility.
Share and Enjoy
