App crashes at gpus_ReturnNotPermittedKillClient

Question

I am seeing new crashes specific to app running on iOS 8. Couldn't figure out what the issue is, couldn't reproduce the issue. Happens at App StartUp, and App doesn't call OpenGL ES functions directly.

InitialViewController viewDidAppear method line # 92 I initiate a segue from storyboard by: [self performSegueWithIdentifier:segueIdentifier sender:self]; where self is InitialViewController class.

Can someone please help me find what the root cause for this issue is.

Answer 1

Application will be terminated if it attempts to execute OpenGL ES commands in the background.
