Changing SCNNode is making app crash

Question

I am working on an ARKit project in Swift Playgrounds and here is what I have right now:

Timer.scheduledTimer(timeInterval: 0.1, target: self, selector: #selector(self.animateSoldiers), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)


@objc func animateSoldiers() {
  if self.soldiersPlacedCount >= self.numberOfSoldiers {
  for node in self.allNodesSet {
  if node.name!.contains("soldier") {
  node.position = SCNVector3(x: node.position.x + 0.01, y: node.position.y, z: node.position.z)

  let pitch = sceneView.session.currentFrame?.camera.eulerAngles.x
  let yawn = sceneView.session.currentFrame?.camera.eulerAngles.y
  let roll = sceneView.session.currentFrame?.camera.eulerAngles.z
  let newRotation = SCNVector3Make(pitch!, yawn!, roll!)
  node.eulerAngles = newRotation
  }
  }
  }
}

I have narrowed down the issue to this method. The app crashes after running an arbitrary number of times when running on iPad. It keeps changing and I have no idea what is going on. Any help is appreciated!

Crash could be if pitch, yaw or roll were nil; or node.name being nil.

so it would be safer to write:

@objc func animateSoldiers() {
    if self.soldiersPlacedCount >= self.numberOfSoldiers {
        for node in self.allNodesSet where node.name != nil {
            if node.name!.contains("soldier") {
                node.position = SCNVector3(x: node.position.x + 0.01, y: node.position.y, z: node.position.z)
               
                let pitch = sceneView.session.currentFrame?.camera.eulerAngles.x ?? 0.0
                let yaw = sceneView.session.currentFrame?.camera.eulerAngles.y ?? 0.0
                let roll = sceneView.session.currentFrame?.camera.eulerAngles.z ?? 0.0
                let newRotation = SCNVector3Make(pitch, yaw, roll)
                node.eulerAngles = newRotation
            }
        }
    }
}

Could you try with these changes and tell what happens ?

Note: I named it yaw instead of yawn 😉
