EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP) on Production Version Only

Question

My iOS app works fine in testing but crashes on startup with the release version downloaded from the App Store. I\'ve tried retesting with the release build configuration in Xco

Answer 1

I had this same problem a few weeks ago, and it was incredibly frustrating to not be able to test it. What I did, while not a perfect solution, did allow me to test the issue.

Go into your project's Build Settings, and down to Signing. All of the fields under Code Signing Identity should say "iOS Developer". Change them all to iOS Distribution. Build and run your app, and it should hopefully crash. Now, you'll be able to figure out what's going on through Xcode.

Also, once you fix the problem, make sure to return those code signing identites back to normal.

Answer 2

Check if you call in the app Contacts, Calendar, Reminders, Photos, Bluetooth Sharing, Microphone, Camera, Location, Health, HomeKit, Media Library, Motion, CallKit, Speech Recognition, SiriKit, TV Provider, etc.

Since iOS 10 your app will crash if you try to access privacy-sensitive data without a usage description.

To avoid the crash you need to add the key to ‘Info.plist’, for example:

Privacy - Camera Usage Description
Privacy - Photo Library Usage Description

In my case I added key for camera usage but not for microphone and had the same problem.
