Arc crashes randomly

Arc randomly crashes on iPhone 14 pro max starting iOS 18. Any thought? This happens often when i try to edit a place or fixing a place. Thx

Seems like it crashes when it’s heavily working on something (i.e. when processing the route afger clearing up uncertain items)

Hi @charco, @k4869!

I’m going to guess that you’re both getting the crashes on the “Timeline Cleanup” view. That view is a newer addition to the app, built using Apple’s newer SwiftUI framework. Most of the rest of the app is built with the older UIKit technology. The two don’t always play well together, and this is one of those cases :persevering_face:

I’ve made a bunch of attempts to find and fix the crash in that view, but with only limited success. Which is one of the reasons why I started working on a ground-up rebuild of the entire app, using purely the new SwiftUI system. That’s coming along very well, and will be in public beta hopefully next month!

The rebuild (called Arc Timeline Editor for now) has zero crashes, runs smoothly, processes faster and more reliably. It’s going great! It’s just missing a whole lot of features that old Arc Timeline app has, so it’s not quite ready for public use yet. But I’m filling in the gaps fast. Any week now…

In the meantime, yeah, the “Timeline Cleanup” view is a danger zone unfortunately. It’s super handy for doing cleanup, but … also randomly crashes, for somewhat unknown reasons :disappointed_face:
