"Unknown extension process" is displayed after app updating

Hello.

In iOS 17, after updating the app, when trying to "Edit Widget" from a long press on the widget, "Unknown extension process" is displayed and the widget cannot be edited. At this time, the widget becomes completely white (or completely black), and it cannot be fixed without restarting the iPhone. This issue occurs sporadically on some devices. The implementation uses AppIntentTimelineProvider. Does anyone know a solution, workaround, or the cause of this problem?

Thank you.

This is a bug, but before providing the canned response, you can use Console.app to plug in your device and monitor system logs of various processes such as your Widget (target name), springboard and other relevant processes to see the system is complaining about something that is in your control.

That said, our engineering teams need to investigate this issue, as resolution may involve changes to Apple's software. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could open a bug report, include sample project and a sysdiagnose, and post the FB number here once you do. Bug Reporting: How and Why? has tips on creating your bug report.
