My watch app uses background refresh tasks heavily, and work during task is asynchronous. Sometimes (once in 15-20 background task executions) it gets terminated by OS with 0xc51bad03 reason. Release notes of watchOS3.1 say:
Background Refresh Violations of system resources will result in a crash report for your application. The exception code provides context about the nature of the violation:
- 0xc51bad01 The app used too much CPU time.
- 0xc51bad02 The app took too much wall time.
- 0xc51bad03 The app may not have had sufficient runtime to complete the task.
What does this "may not have had sufficient runtime" mean? What can be possible reason? This kill code have not been explained during WWDC sessions. Looks like this crash does not depend on exact place in my code that is executed at the moment.
Crash report except does not make reason clearer:
Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGKILL)
Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000
Exception Note: EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY
Termination Reason: Namespace SPRINGBOARD, Code 0xc51bad03
