call method

my code

    private func encodeStringTo64(fromString: String) -> String? {
        let plainData = fromString.data(using: .utf8)
        return plainData?.base64EncodedString(options: [])
    }

foundation method

extension Data {
    ...

    /// Returns a Base-64 encoded string.
    ///
    /// - parameter options: The options to use for the encoding. Default value is `[]`.
    /// - returns: The Base-64 encoded string.
    @inlinable public func base64EncodedString(options: Data.Base64EncodingOptions = []) -> String
}

This foundation method don't have throws, but it throw an exception.

This foundation method don't have throws, but it throw an exception.

You are mixing up Swift error and Objective-C language exceptions. I explain that difference in What is an exception?

Does this crash happen all the time? Or are you trying to debug a crash report coming in from the field?

Also, please post a full crash report; instructions are in Posting a Crash Report.
