ios send: crashes if we have used setUserCustomData

Hi Dan,

Please send repro example of the dictionary you are setting. Keep in mind that it should only contain simple data such as strings and numbers.

Also, let me know which send method you are calling along with any parameters.

Any information you have about the crash would be helpful too.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the sample and code, I've been able to reproduce the problem now.

It seems that initializing the dictionary as a local variable, rather than inlining it in the property setter allows this to work as expected:

NSDictionary *data = @{@"test":@"value"};
[[Raygun sharedReporter] setUserCustomData:data];

I am yet to find if this is expected behaviour of Objective-C, or if there is an issue in the Raygun4iOS provider. When writing it all in one line, seems the dictionary is being deallocated some time before the provider accesses it to send it in the report. I'll let you know what I find.

Dan,

Does my suggestion work for you? (Setting the dictionary literal to a pointer variable, and then passing that pointer to the property setter). Unfortunately I have not found any solid information as to why this would break when inlining the literal in the property setter. Every single example I have found happens to be setting the dictionary literal to a pointer before using it. I have further experimented with changing Raygun4iOS, but everything I've tried results in the same behavior. I'll keep this on my backlog to try again in the future.

Rob,

Sorry, I have not been able to reproduce this issue. This code works fine for me to send an NSError:

NSString *fileToLoad = @"/path/to/non-existent-file.txt";
NSError *error;
NSString *content = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:fileToLoad encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:&error];

[[Raygun sharedReporter] sendError:error withTags:nil withUserCustomData:nil];

Does that work for you? If you still have trouble here, please send more information that may help reproduce this problem, or send a simple repro project, and I'll look into it for you.

Thanks Rob, a repro project will be a great help to solving this.

Dan, if you are able to modify your previous repro project in a way that causes the crash when the dictionary is created on a separate line, I will look into it further.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the repro project. I can reproduce the issue now and looking for a solution. I'll get back to you tomorrow with what I find.

Hi Rob,

Sorry, I was not able to look into this further today. I will get back to you next week.

Hi Rob,

I have solved this issue which will be fixed in the next version. This will be released next week. Thanks again for the repro project, I'll let you know when the fixed version is published.

Hi Rob,

The next version of Raygun4iOS (v2.1.0) containing the userCustomData property fix has just been published. This is available via CocoaPods, or download the framework here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/data.raygun.io/providers/raygun4ios/2.1.0.zip

Excellent, no worries!
