Nuts. Still crashing out on my iPad 7, 16.5.1, just scrolling.

Your most recent one, they load automatically

[–] steve228uk 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Huh, can you try deleting and reinstalling? I wonder if some of those mega GIFs are cached. Build 2023.8.7.1.45 should have solved this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ill delete it, not sure how to reinstall it tho. Is my invitation going to still work?

[–] steve228uk 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yep, you should just be able to download again from the TestFlight app.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Did that, worked fine, been working your app for awhile & it seems happy again. I hate being the guy who keeps hollering crash all the time but figure you want to know. I like Bean.

[–] steve228uk 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I would definitely rather know than not know! GIFs have been driving me wild but I think we’re nearing a solution that I’m happy with 😊

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Worked. Ok, deleted & reinstalled.

[–] steve228uk 1 points 1 year ago

Awesome, thank you! If it continues please let me know if there are any specific posts causing issues.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No more crashes. The delete app/reload thing seems to have done it. 👍🏻

[–] steve228uk 1 points 1 year ago

Amazing! Thanks for letting me know 😁

[–] steve228uk 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Okay, I think I’ve identified a couple of issues:

  1. When a post with a URL has no metadata or it was unable to be fetched, a check was missing that would cause the Card view to crash the app.
  2. There’s a potential memory leak which seems to be caused by GIFs. I’m going to switch to FLAnimatedImage tomorrow or move GIF playback to the ImageViewer only.
[–] steve228uk 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s definitely a memory issue with UIImageView. If you load this community in the Card view it will crash not only Bean but Springboard too — resulting in you ending on your lock screen.

[–] Dark_Blade 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh shit, so that’s what crashed my phone.

[–] steve228uk 2 points 1 year ago

Yeaaah… sorry about that! I’m gonna push a fix today.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Today the app isn’t crashing out and reverting back to my home screen, after scrolling my feed for 5 min. or so it freezes and I have to hit the home button to get out. iPad 7, iOS 16.5.1

[–] steve228uk 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’ve just pushed out a new build. Please let me know if this helps resolve the freezing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Scrolled to the end of my feed, no sticks, freezes, or crashes. Smooth & nice to use - great!

[–] steve228uk 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

🙌 yesssssss!

GIFs will be the death of me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

lol - sorry. It’s working really well now.

[–] steve228uk 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Nah, don’t apologise! I’m really glad to have solved that one and couldn’t have without your help 😊

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I’m happy to be of some help. Btw, I’m trying to upload a lightning pic I took and I get an “unexpected token” error. Let me try again…

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, a 444 kB jpeg gives a JSON parse error, unexpected token. Trying to upload from my iPad. I promise it’s not a gif. ;)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oops - app just crashed after viewing a Calvin & Hobbes strip.

[–] steve228uk 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can you link me to the post if you have it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sorry, I don’t know how. It was one of the strips in the Calvin & Hobbes community, I don’t think it was anything different from all their others.

[–] steve228uk 1 points 1 year ago

No problem! I’ll see if I can replicate.

[–] orangeNgreen 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m on an iPhone 12 Mini, iOS 16.5.1. Bean just crashed for me while scrolling the Local feed. I don’t think I clicked anything. Just crashed mid scroll.

[–] orangeNgreen 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah, just reproduced it. Seems scrolling on Local is no bueno at the moment.

[–] steve228uk 1 points 1 year ago

Also, which view? Compact/Card

[–] steve228uk 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What sort order are you using? e.g. new, hot, active

[–] orangeNgreen 1 points 1 year ago

Card, and new.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I scrolled my feed for quite a lot longer than I could before, over a half hour, but it eventually crashed. Just scrolling.

[–] steve228uk 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've pushed out an update that hopefully fixes this today. Please let me know if it persists.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Many thanks!

2023.8.2.1.29 iPhone 14pro iOS 16.5.1

App crashes browsing All, scrolling over the first about 5-10 posts (card layout). After the restart it was stable.

[–] robmexx 1 points 1 year ago

It happened two times today. On different posts, can’t say it was something specific. Seems it happens when bean wasn’t open for some time (hours).

[–] robmexx 1 points 1 year ago

2023.8.3.23.19 iPhone 14pro iOS 16.5.1

I updated the App and it crashed after scrolling through all in card layout, black theme. It crashed at the 16th post and it was the first start for about 20-24h. After restart I could scroll past the 16th post without hiccups.

[–] steve228uk 1 points 1 year ago

Posting a link here too for the explanation re: GIFs

[–] Dark_Blade 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The app’s crashing more frequently now, no clue why, 14 Pro, scrolling through All in card view.

[–] steve228uk 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is it crashing around the the same post every time? Are you noticing any kind of pattern? And what OS version are you on?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not OP, but this happened to me yesterday, with the previous build of Bean and iOS 16.5.1 (c).

Some post on my home feed caused it to crash repeatedly every single time as I scrolled.

Haven’t encountered it today so far, with the latest Bean.

[–] steve228uk 1 points 1 year ago

Do you know if the post had an image? specifically, a GIF?

[–] Dark_Blade 1 points 1 year ago
  • I don’t think it was crashing around the same post.
  • Not really, just that thumbnails stop showing up.
  • iOS 16.5.1
