App Crashes after executing background fetch completionHandler

Tags:

ios7

I have updated our app for iOS 7 and added the background fetch functionality. However, i'm noticing some crashes because of this feature. After background fetch call is completed, the completion handler block is executed with either new/no data. This results in a call to 'layoutSubviews' of my custom navigation NavigationBar and sometimes app is crashing with the following stack trace. I could not reproduce this issue myself but constantly receiving these crash logs from our users. Any help would be appreciated.

When you leave your app to the background, it saves the snapshot of the current view to the memory so it could be shown when you double-click the home button. With the iOS7 background refresh feature ((void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo fetchCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult result))completionHandler), you must execute the completionHandler function after you finish executing your fetch request.

The execution of that function also triggers updates to the UI - [UIApplication _updateSnapshotAndStateRestorationArchiveForBackgroundEvent:saveState:exitIfCouldNotRestoreState:], and in your case it triggers calculating the frame for a UIWebView from a background thread. UIWebView can be updated only from the UIThread, so to overcome this crash I would suggest to wrap the completionHandler with execution on the main thread:

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo fetchCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult result))completionHandler
{
    void (^safeHandler)(UIBackgroundFetchResult) = ^(UIBackgroundFetchResult result){
        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
            completionHandler(result);
        });
    };
    [someInstance doSomethingInBackground:userInfo withHandler:safeHandler];
}

And you will no longer have to worry where you invoke the completionHandler (now safeHandler) from.
