FMDBBlockSQLiteCallBackFunction Crash in app that's not using makeFunctionNamed

Question

I'm working on an app that's in the app store, which uses FMDB for interacting with its sqlite database. We've received some crash reports with stack traces like this:

However, from reading the FMDB code it looks like FMDBBlockSQLiteCallBackFunction is only called as the callback for SQLite functions created using FMDatabase's makeFunctionNamed:maximumArguments:withBlock: method, which we're not using at all.

Any ideas what could be causing crashes like this?

Answer 1

The didFinish makes it look like you may have a race condition on this line:

6  CFNetwork                      0x00000001851475a4 __49-[__NSCFLocalSessionTask _task_onqueue_didFinish]_block_invoke + 300

Try to emulate slow hardware to reproduce the end user’s state.
