[BUG][M300] SDKCache thread - BAD_ACCESS about mobile-sdk-ios

[GregCornis]

Problem is still here with SDK 4.16.2

[DJI-William]

It does not happen in our end, so it this problem also occurs in iOS 4.16.1 for you?

[GregCornis]

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes the issue happens for both versions. Here are the screenshots at the moment the app crashes:

[GregCornis]

I'm not sure if it is related but the LED appear red on both remotes, and I sometimes need to plug the cable off then on for the connection to happen

[DJI-William]

Are you using Object-C or Swift demo?

[GregCornis]

Swift

[DJI-William]

Swift demo has some problem, maybe try Object-C demo. We just update the demo yesterday, you can clone the latest code. What do you mean by red LEDs for bot remotes? You should only have a single controller.

[GregCornis]

I tried the Obj-C version (from latest commit 071cd3e), again with the same crash when I click "Register APP".

I meant this LED :

I'm not using two RC at the same time, but I thought the problem might be due to one of them so I tested with both, without any difference

[DJI-William]

The LED will not make this effect, it is very hard to tell what happens through this. The question is you havn't change the app and what conditions has changed to make this happened, we don't know about that yet. The code hasn't change, but it starts crashing.

[GregCornis]

Yes it's really weird, because I was developping the app and it worked fine, then I changed one line of code completely unrelated to the SDK, and the bug appeared. Do you know what the SDKCache Thread is doing ?

[GregCornis]

I see something strange in the logs, could it be related ?

[DJI-William]

It seems like missing a database. Will the SDK successfully register without connecting to RC? Just only on the iPad?

[GregCornis]

Yes the app works fine as long as no device is plugged in, with a successful registration.
It's not related to the ipad either as the bug happens with a different one too.
After googling, it seems that the fopen failed for data file is related to Metal API and probably unrelated. I believe it's been there all along.

Any idea what the SDK is doing in the SDKCache thread?

[DJI-William]

SDKCache thread is the thread that operate the DJIKeys. E.g. If you call a SDK method, it will operate the DJI Key in SDKCache thread.

[GregCornis]

Ok thanks. Do you have any idea what could be causing this issue, or how to resolve it ? Or what test wa can perform to understand the source ?

[DJI-William]

Is it possible to get the crash log for us? We would like to see where and which function crashes.

[GregCornis]

Sure, how do I do that ? As I mentionned already, it happens in a different thread, so I don't have a stack trace for you. I can only show the assembly line that crashes the code, which is the image I've put in the description above

[DJI-William]

After the crash happens, connect your mobile device to the Xcode, in Xcode->window->devices and simulators->view device logs, find the corresponded log for your app at the crash time and export.

[DJI-William]

Even look at the log, we cannot guarantee the issue is fix. Perhaps you can try connect your aircraft and RC to the Assistant 2 to re-download and install the latest firmware and try again.

[GregCornis]

Here is the crash report, as I downloaded it from XCode.

I have already reinstalled the latest firmware, without a change. Can we agree that this bug is not caused by us but is related to the hardware / firmware ? The stack trace from above was obtained from the DJI Sample App (Swift version), without changing one line of code

[DJI-William]

Try under DJI Pilot, reset the RC Settings and set C1 and C2 to undefined. Seems to be some firmware issues on the M300 RC.

[GregCornis]

Thanks, problem solved by setting the buttons to undefined. Related issue on DJI's forum here.
