iOS 11 threading issue?

[MarkWoollard]

Am seeing the following in console when running app build with iOS 11 GM SDK. Would appear SDK making call on background thread that shouldn't be. Are you aware and if so ETA on a fix?

Thanks
Mark

Hi, Mark -

This is not an iOS 11 issue per se. We have extensively tested the v100.1 runtime with some of the iOS 11 betas and the recent GM and found no issues that affect functionality or usability of apps built with the runtime. This message is developer warning being generated by Xcode 9 because it has a new main-thread-checker that is enabled by default to look for potential problems in accessing Apple's UIKit APIs. It has flagged a couple of instances where we need to tweak how we use these APIs and be fully compliant with Apple's guidance. We are working on it and hope to release an update soon that should be free of any warnings, but in the meantime don't let it prevent you from supporting iOS 11 for your apps. Based on our testing, we are confident that the existing runtime works just as well on iOS 11.

Hi Divesh,

Thanks for the above info. Are you planning to release ArcGIS 10.2.5 version also? My app is still using older SDK. Kindly share your thoughts on older ArcGIS sdk release. Thank you!

[MarkWoollard]

Thanks for prompt feedback - agree doesn't appear to effect stability (and have had a couple of similar occurrences in our own code whereby perfectly reliable code now warns about this).

This is fixed in version 100.1.1
