Thanks for reporting.

Did you try the solution mentioned in the upstream ticket?
Did you try ios-sdk 6.2.1?

ferdicus on 12 Oct 2020

I can't reproduced it yet so no, I haven't tried it

tinmar33 on 12 Oct 2020

We are also experiencing this crash at the moment.

It happens regularly when the app is in the background and alive (we are tracking movement so keeping the app alive). So far it has only happened when the app is in the background.

At the moment we can't reproduce it/trigger it.

I don't know if it will help, but I have added a screenshot from once when the crash happened while running from Xcode.

@jaltin thanks, what was the Mapbox IOS version?! Can you try with 6.3.0?!

There was some changes in that are in mapbox
https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native-ios/commit/21a7bbe970784ea4fa70a3f440e62a57b81d82cf

and according to this: https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native-ios/issues/485#issuecomment-724362573 it's fixed.

@mfazekas how can I try with this version ?
I don't see mapbox-gl-native-ios on the project or RN-mapbox dependencies or on the iOS files

tinmar33 on 19 Nov 2020

@tinmar33 see https://github.com/react-native-mapbox-gl/maps/pull/940#issue-441493074

@mfazekas
[!] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "@react-native-mapbox-gl-mapbox-static": In Podfile: react-native-mapbox-gl (from '../node_modules/@react-native-mapbox-gl/maps') was resolved to 8.1.0-rc.9, which depends on @react-native-mapbox-gl-mapbox-static (~> 6.3)

After adding $ReactNativeMapboxGLIOSVersion = '~> 6.3' before use_native_modules!

I tried pod repo update but it doesn't fixed it

Any idea ?

@tinmar33 sorry I've just published 6.3.0 can you try

pod install --repo-update

mfazekas on 19 Nov 2020

@mfazekas I have an error while downloading the package

Installing @react-native-mapbox-gl-mapbox-static (6.3.0) -> 401 Unauthorized

tinmar33 on 19 Nov 2020

You'll need to set up .netrc see:
https://github.com/react-native-mapbox-gl/maps/pull/1044#issue-493540536

mfazekas on 19 Nov 2020

All good 👌 Thanks.
I will try with this version

@mfazekas Thanks for your help! We are trying this right now and we will get back to you once we see if it works or not.

A related question: To use $ReactNativeMapboxGLIOSVersion has forced us to update to the 8.1.0.rc9 (we were on 8.0.0 before). Do you have any "feel" of how stable this version is? Is it close to a full release or still other known bugs?

jaltin on 20 Nov 2020

@jaltin, version 8.1.0.rc9 is probably just as (un-)stable as 8.0.0.
We don't have an official smoketest/ hardening/ testing cycle for our releases - it that's what you're asking.

ferdicus on 20 Nov 2020

@ferdicus, thanks for your reply.

We are currently using 8.0.0 in prod, and I was asking because I wanted to get a feel if it will be reasonable to consider to use the rc9 release in our app in production to get around this bug. I was hoping that you guys would have a "feel" of the feasibility of this.

Status update after our testing

So we have now tested this over the last 3 days running on 6 different devices (iPad and iPhone, iOS 12, 13 & 14) with the app running continuously in the background. None of the devices has crashed so setting the version of $ReactNativeMapboxGLIOSVersion to 6.3.0 seems to work for us so far.

Thanks a lot to @mfazekas and @ferdicus for your help!

good news 👍🏿

I'll close this ticket - feel free to open another one (or we can reopen this one) when this issue reoccurs

ferdicus on 23 Nov 2020

I'm glad to hear it, thanks for the feedback @jaltin :)

tinmar33 on 24 Nov 2020

@jaltin would you mind providing the community with some more details on how you got this working? We have added $ReactNativeMapboxGLIOSVersion = '~> 6.3' before use_native_modules! and have tried installing with repo update but cannot seem to get CocoaPods to adhere to the new version.

luskin on 2 Feb 2021

@luskin I don't really know what could be going wrong for you. Did you set up .netrc on your machine too (https://docs.mapbox.com/ios/maps/guides/install/)?

jaltin on 5 Feb 2021

@jaltin Turned out to be the lockfile which was restricting it. If anybody else is having problems upgrading to 6.3.0 remove any instances of MapBox in your Podfile.lock and run pod install --repo-update

So far I can confirm that updating Mapbox to 6.2.1 did the trick. I have never experienced the crash myself but the crash has disapear from Crashlytics after updating to 6.2.1.

I use following script to add mapbox downloading crendentials to _.netrc_.
appcenter-post-clone.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Add Mapbox password to .netrc in order to download iOS SDK
echo -e "machine $NETRC_MAPBOX_MACHINE\nlogin $NETRC_MAPBOX_LOGIN\npassword $NETRC_MAPBOX_PASSWORD" > ~/.netrc

So far I only updated to 6.2.1 as another bug in pod do not produce properly aligned archives for version 6.3.0
