Detox: Signal 11 crash still present after SIMCTL_CHILD_NSZombieEnabled=YES + latest Firebase version

Description

A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

I have tested this issue on the latest Detox release and it still reproduces

Reproduction

We still see Signal 11 crashes in our project even after adding both SIMCTL_CHILD_NSZombieEnabled=YES detox test -c ios.sim.release as well as updating firebase + firebase perf to the latest versions and ensuring that GoogleUtilities are at 7.7+.

The error is commonly reproduced on CircleCI and is incredibly difficult / practically impossible to reproduce locally.

In order to help debug I’ve provided a list of all of the dependencies in our project. We use Expo 43 (no expo updates), React Native 0.65.2 and Codepush (probably unrelated, the error happens in the middle of a test, not at the beginning). I’ve found that the Stripe iOS SDK (via tipsi-stripe) is a source of method swizzling. Also, while Flipper is a source of method swizzling, we are building a release project so Flipper should be excluded.

Let me know if there’s anything else I can provide to help debug and resolve this issue.

The stacktrace is:

DetoxRuntimeError: The pending request #99 ("invoke") has been rejected due to the following error:

I think this is still valid

Valid

shamilovtim on Jun 27, 2022

the crash seems to be related to reanimated

Yeah - that’s about as far we’ve narrowed it down to. That’s in line with the investigations I’d done a while back. I have a reasonable suspicion that it’s something to do with the timer trampoline objects being garbage collected (or otherwise becoming invalid).

Our workaround is to stub out everything that’s animated with a non-animated variant, which isn’t great 😦

+1 seeing this in latest versions. Will try and gather some logs if possible

owens-ben on May 23, 2023

shamilovtim on Oct 22, 2022

@ball-hayden Detox has some basic self-test suite for animations: https://github.com/wix/Detox/blob/master/detox/test/e2e/12.animations.test.js

Seems like it is not sufficient. A good question would be “what’s missing”.

Here’s the source code of the Animations screen:

For me this is related to react-native-camera. I will investigate further…

Edit: I mocked all files, that import suspicious modules and so far both react-native-tab-view and react-native-reanimated cause crashes. It seems like react-native-camera doesn’t cause crashes

LucidityDesign on Jul 3, 2023

Oh. Okay. Definitely still seeing this. Sorry.

ball-hayden on Feb 21, 2023

I once repro’d this locally on my M1 Max . Wonder how many Detox runs it would take to see it again.

Not stale

shamilovtim on May 26, 2022

@shamilovtim can I ask, do you run multiple simulators at once in CI (as in, do you use the --max-workers flag)?

No we don’t. CircleCI doesn’t allow hardware acceleration so we are limited performance wise

shamilovtim on Apr 11, 2022

@shamilovtim sorry for the delay.

https://github.com/PlayerData/DetoxReanimatedRepro

Just trying to set up GitHub actions to see if that might result in a reproduction.
