Does anyone know what this kind of exception is on iOS 8?
=== from crash report ===
Exception Type: EXC_RESOURCE
Exception Subtype: WAKEUPS
Exception Mes
In my case on ios 9.1 this is tripped by thread 2 which seems to be some worker for the GLES driver cause searching through the project sources I don't see any references to GPUTools.

See this: iOS 7 and OpenGL issues/crashes I've filed bug 23389472 with apple, cause in my case this ain't a thread I or some 3rd party code has created, and, thusly, this is very likely ain't my bug. Bottom line is: if the offending thread is yours (that includes 3rd party software obviously) then Ryan's answer applies. Otherwise you either have to contact Apple and/or, in the meantime, look for a workaround.
