My app crashes on the Xcode 10.0 beta 2 iOS 12 simulator with the console message
Assertion failed: (0), function img_colormask_stage, file /BuildRoot/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/CoreGraphics_Sim/CoreGraphics-1225/CoreGraphics/Images/CGSImage.c, line 3273.
The app works perfectly in other iOS versions in that same beta version of Xcode, and in Xcode 9.4.1, and has been a stable app on the App Store for many years. Does anybody have (and possibly resolved) similar issues with iOS 12 beta?
- Where do I find this source file CGSImage.c? I have looked in various hidden libraries, but could not find that path. I assume /BuildRoot is a relative or symbolic path and has to be prepended or replaced by something, but what?
- What assertion does CGSImage.c make at line 3273? This might at least give me a clue what is going wrong.
- Is this related to the known issue "Various CoreGraphics calls have been hardened against continuing with invalid parameters. In iOS 12 beta, these calls may now return NULL or return early. (38344690)" mentioned in the iOS 12 beta 2 Release Notes? Can anybody be more specific about what img_colormask_stage might have been hardened against? Will that issue ever be resolved, or at least replaced by some more specific warning?
- Is there a way to avoid this assertion? Clearly whatever happens did not disturb former iOS releases.
Here is the full stack trace. It does not refer to any code in my app and just appears in UIApplicationMain:
