Hello

After upgrading to ArcGIS Runtime 100.10 we're experiencing randomly occurring crashes caused by an unhandled/undetected null point exception in ArcGIS.

The exception occurs in the RTCViewpoint.m on line 98 according to the Xcode trace:

 

ArcGIS`-[RTCViewpoint initWithTargetExtent:]:

    0x101f4116c <+96>: ret    

 

 with the following error message in the console log:

 

ArcGIS Runtime Error Occurred. Set a breakpoint on C++ exceptions to see the original callstack and context for this error:  Error Domain=com.esri.arcgis.runtime.error Code=1 "Null pointer." UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=object cannot be null., NSLocalizedDescription=Null pointer., Additional Message=object cannot be null.}

 

Can anyone help me with this issue or has seen similar behaviour?

Hi Raphael, did you try the latest (100.11.2) sdk? Also, RTCViewpoint.m - is that really ESRI's code? I´m not an ESRI dev, but usually they prefix everything with AGS 🙂

Hello, sorry to hear you are having a problem.  What is your app doing when the crash occurs?  If you have sample code or a sequence of steps which reproduces the problem, that would help in determining why the "null pointer" exception happens.

I would also recommend what @kris suggests:  upgrading to the latest SDK (100.11.2).  (RTCViewpoint.m is our code.) 

Lastly, what version of Xcode/iOS are you using when the crash occurs?

Mark
