-[UIThreadSafeNode canPerformAction:withSender:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance

I am facing this crash in my iOS app.

So far over a 100 crashes has been reported. This is happening only in iOS 12 and iOS 13.

I am not able to find how this is happening and how to reproduce it.

The stack trace does not show any of my app's code.

I have uploaded the full crash report here.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

This seems to be a regression of an ancient bug related to "forward delete" on iOS text entry: http://www.openradar.me/15114422

I believe it has regressed because of the new "swipe to type" keyboard.

You have 2 options to fix:

  1. Upgrade your deprecated UIWebView to a WKWebView
  2. Hacky solution: insert the missing selector on UIThreadSafeNode at runtime.

Here's a code example of how to insert the missing selector:

BOOL canPerformAction(id withSender) {
    return false;
} 

- (void)viewDidLoad {
   [super viewDidLoad];

   Class class = NSClassFromString(@"UIThreadSafeNode");
   class_addMethod(class, @selector(canPerformAction:withSender:), (IMP)canPerformAction, "@@:");
}

You should probably put the method insertion somewhere that only loads once, like in the AppDelegate.

Here's the full example project if you need it: https://github.com/elliotfiske/UIWebView-TextEntry-CrashFix/tree/master

How to reproduce:

Create a text entry form in a UIWebView, type some words, then move the cursor to the exact END of a word in the middle of the sentence.

Then, choose any of the predictive text suggestions. See the bug in action here:Screen recording of the crash reproduction
