objc_msgSend() crash on notification on Yosemite

Intermittent crashes happened on Yosemite, around sending notifications.

After retesting on all OSs from 10.10.5 to 10.13.3 - unable to replicate.

Also tried with different users and (two) machines.

The app has always been written in swift, but it was upgraded to Swift 4 since the last release.


Has anyone seen anything similar on Yosemite only?


These are the crash reports:

Given that this is related to notifications, the first thing to check is that you’re unregistering your notifications properly. In 10.11 we made a change that made this unnecessary, so you might not notice this problem during your day-to-day development. However, this is still a requirement if you deploy to older systems.

You can learn more about this change in the Foundation Release Notes. Search the doc for “NSNotificationCenter” to find the relevant section.

If that doesn’t help then I recommend that you deploy the Standard Memory Debugging Tools. Problems like this are most commonly memory management issues.

Thank you very much for your answer. I did my original development on 10.11 so I am most likely not unregistering notifications but I will see to change this for Yosemite
