App crash randomly on some iOS9 devices after closing camera controller

Question

I got the following crash report, sent by a user, but I don't know the possible reason. The app crash randomly when calling

- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info 

delegate, after the user tap "use photo" on camera controller. In this delegate I do some Image processing (compression and resizing) and I upload the resulting image to a webserver:

Edit: the crash happens randomly after calling:

NSURLConnection sendAsynchronousRequest

only on iPhone6 devices

This is the crash report:

Answer 1

I was getting a similar error in an iPad app. So make sure my camera was running on mainThread solved my issue:

[[NSOperationQueue mainQueue] addOperationWithBlock:^{
    [self openCamera]; // Call your camera method here
}];

I hope this can help you.

Add below things in plist.

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
    <dict>
        <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
        <true/>
    </dict>
