Weird crash with Concurrency

Using Swift
,

Hi everyone :wave:

Since some time we have really weird crash in our concurrency stack :/

We made many research and tests but it's looking like totally random and I have no more idea now ...

Some examples :

We have many other like that :/
Any idea what we are missing and why we have some random crash like that ?
Thanks for your help :pray:

This looks like a known race in the current runtime which has been fixed in 5.7. Unfortunately, we do not currently have a solution for this race on previously-released runtimes.

I'm receiving this type of crash with Swift 5.7 as well. Is this the same issue or is there any workaround?

What OS are you seeing that crash on? For now, the fix is only in the latest OS releases.

5

On 15.6.1 (19G82). So, this issue is fixed only in iOS 16 so far? Is there any workaround for iOS 15?

6

"Task escalation" is triggered when you wait for a task that was created at a lower priority than your current task; it should be a no-op if the task already has sufficient priority, so you might be able to work around the bug by making sure you don't create tasks with lower priority than the task that will ultimately wait for them. (That's usually good practice for avoiding priority inversions anyway.)

Hopefully you can figure out what task it is from the backtrace.

It's not fixed in iOS 16 also.

8

Is this issue by chance fixed for older OS versions in the Swift 5.8 runtime?

9

Did anyone manage to fix it ?
I have the same error :\
