LC 9.6 DP4 not working on iOS 10.3.3 ipad

Post by raugert » Sun May 10, 2020 4:55 pm

I recently updated my app on the App store using LC 9.6 DP4 and it now crashes on an iPad with iOS 10.3.3 . It still works OK on iOS 11.2.6

Also, it no longer works with an iPad Provisioning profile either. Is it possible that LC 9.6 will no longer support older iOS versions ?

Has anyone else noticed this ?

thanks,
Richard

Hello Richard,

Does your app include a browser widget, or a mobile browser control? If so, it will not work on iOS 10.
This does not affect LC 9.5.1.

Kind regards,
Panos

Thanks for the reply Panos

My app does not use a browser widget nor a mobile browser control as such. It does however use tsNet to send commands to a device that it is controlling (vMix Video Switcher). It uses a browser API to do that. I don't know if that has anything to do with it ?

thanks for your expertise,

Hello Richard,

Hmm, TBH I do not have an iOS 10 device so it is difficult to test, but a couple of users that have reported crashes on iOS 10 with LC 9.6-x, they all had a browser widget or a mobile browser in their apps.

In LC 9.6 these controls use a WKWebView instead of a UIWebView (as Apple requires this now), so I assumed the problem was because of a bug or incompatibility of our WKWebView implementation.

If you have an iOS 10 device at hand, it might be worth checking building the app without the "tsNet" and "Internet" inclusions and see if it still crashes on startup.

Kind regards,
Panos

Hi Panos,

I tested on iPad iOS 10.3.3 with LC9.6 RC1.

If I select either "tsNet" or "internet" in the inclusions, it crashes on startup.

thanks Panos,
Richard

I noticed that this was not yet fixed in LC 9.6 RC2. App is still crashing on iOS 10. Should I submit a bug report somewhere ?

Hi everyone,

I am also having a problem with iOS 10.3.3 on an iPad.

I build an App using LC 9.6.0 and Xcode 11.3.
In the settings I choose iOS 10

It appears to include iOS 10 and on, but when I downloaded it from the store, it crashed on opening.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Best wishes everyone, I do hope you are all keeping well and safe!!
Jessamy

PS I am on a Mac with Mojave.

Hello all,

This bug should be fixed in LC 9.6.1 rc-2.

Kind regards,
