Ios: Sluggish performance after 0.110.5

[meme1337]

iOS device model, version and app version

Model Name: iPhone XR
Software Version: 13.5
App version: 2.0.0 (69)

Home Assistant Core Version

0.110.5

Describe the bug

After the update in home assistant core, performance in app are bad. Rendering of pages, switching tab or entering the app options is sluggish and unresponsive.

Behavior is probably related to upstream fix for sensors not updating, for issue #547.

To Reproduce

Install ha 0.110.5
Install mobile companion app latest version 2.0.0(69)
Log into your instance

Expected behavior

Same performance as with WebKit browsers on same device.

Additional context

[dwainscheeren]

Got the same problem over here, its very laggy almost not usable. (Running HA 0.111.0b1)

[TomBrien]

This is related to home-assistant/core#36455. I guess it’s either due to the errors spamming the logs or the root of those errors which is the app trying to reregister sensors

[kersten-lohmeyer]

Same problem over here too (HA 0.110.5)

[vsaintloup]

Same here, super sluggish, app is unusable now, even though I have made the ‘reinitialize’ option. I have thousands of pages of this in my iPhone app logs:

[austwhite]

As others have mentioned, sluggish performance.
The constant errors in the log are actually slowing down the entire installation on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and I had to stop using the iOS app as it was delaying actioning of automations due to writing all the errors out.
I hate complaining as I know this is all done as opensource, but the iOS app is pretty well unusable now

[ronaldheft]

Agreed that the app is unusable with 0.110.5. I’m running HomeAssistant on a Synology DS218+ and my iPhone is a an iPhone 11 Pro, so there should be no reason the app lags that badly and uses that many resources.

I rolled back to 0.110.4 and all is working again.

Thinking the testing strategy for the mobile apps needs to be revisited. It would be great to see multiple code owners, because the issue this was trying to fix is several months old.

[JManDoo]

Same issue for me as well

[chrisaljoudi]

I believe this is related to (or is the same issue as) https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/issues/6079

I think it’s not specific to the app but is manifested on anything using WebKit, including Safari on both iOS and macOS.

I spent some time investigating and posted a little more detail in the issue above (@robbiet480 happy to help in any way if you discover any clues or have any guess on what’s going on).

Performance in chrome on iOS (which still is WebKit based) are fine on my iPhone.
For me the root of the problem was the update to 0.110.5.

Performance in chrome on iOS (which still is WebKit based) are fine on my iPhone.

For me the root of the problem was the update to 0.110.5.

@meme1337 just tested in Chrome on iOS—you’re right, performance is a _bit_ better, though CPU usage still frequently pegs past 100%, with many nearly-whole-page layout invalidations... and while smaller dashboards are usable, ones with more entities (like this one I recorded for home-assistant/frontend#6079) remain unusable.

I expect the slight improvement comes from the fact WKWebView might be configured slightly differently by Chrome (and it already omits a subset of features from Safari).

I am certain this is to do with home-assistant/core#36455 as it came in with the beta that added the sensor fix which is flooding the logs. No issue in safari or chrome on iOS here

[kolossboss]

same here.
When starting the ios app. The Log is spammed with this entries.

I delete the mobile_app integration and reconnected the ios app. But no success. Now are notifications also not working :-(

[TomBrien]

I thought reconnecting would probably work. With notifications have you restarted home assistant since reconnecting the app. Doing that should allow the notify.mobile_app… service to be recreated

Yes I tried multiple times. I cant get it to work. Maybe the Push ID is wrong. But I dont know how to check this out.

[kolossboss]

Ok, for any reason I cant activate Firebase Cloud Messaging. Its always deactivated after restarting the app.

Edit:
Fixt it by reinstalling the ios.app

[TomBrien]

@kolossboss can you pull this out in to a new issue please

[kolossboss]

@kolossboss can you pull this out in to a new issue please

Sorry!! I already solved it.

[dlo747]

Same here. Scrolling is so choppy and it skips.

[kolossboss]

Today I updated to 0.110.6. Thanks.
But still having this sluggish performance and massiv Log entries. Do I have to wait for the iOS app update?

[TomBrien]

The full set of updates for this are in 0.111.0 which will come out tomorrow

[dwainscheeren]

I'm running 0.111.0b4 which has the:
Mobile app fixes (@balloob - #36559)
Fix mobile_app sensor re-registration handling (@frenck - #36567)

But it's still very sluggish/slow.

[TomBrien]

@dwainscheeren can you confirm that the only logs you see at ERROR level for refusing to re-register sensors are for connectivity_sim_2 now?

[vsaintloup]

@TomBrien my app is sluggish as well; here is what I see going on in my iPhone's app log:

This one, hundreds of times:

This one, hundreds of times as well:

Yes I got:
````

[TomBrien]

So these errors look like what I saw with the current app on dev last night. The home assistant side logs are pretty heavily reduced to only the sim_2 errors. The app errors look about the same, I believe these (and the loop the app is in) are what is causing the performance issues. It's worth mentioning that the beta build of the app ran smoothly for me last night UNTIL is crashed out (possibly my fault) and I got stuck behind the on boarding issue that that build had. I will fire up my dev build again tonight and dig into the performance more

[TomBrien]

I’ve just loaded up a dev instance at the branch from home-assistant/core#36604 and populated with demo: to fill the UI. I do not see any sluggish-ness and the HA side logs are reduced to a single error about invalid data in the eSIM sensor per push. Here's a video of me scrolling through that. I am not scrolling particularly smoothly, just how I would in normal use . See here for a video

[balloob]

110.7 will fix this.
