File protection issue

[vladasdrejeris]

Hello,

We have encountered a problem with Instabug iOS SDK when using file protection type URLFileProtection.complete.

We are developing a fintech app and our security guys requested us to use URLFileProtection.complete file protection class for all app files, that includes Instabug sqlite database too. And now we are getting quite a lot of crashes from Instabug, because it is unable to access database when app is locked. I am guessing that Instabug SDK is trying to finish some tasks in the background and if the device is locked, it crashes, because SDK cannot access the database file.

Could you help us with this issue?

Here is the stack trace of the crash that happens most offen:

Yes, we are saving all Data in background tasks.

[vladasdrejeris]

Do you have any ideas how we could fix this?

[Kmohamed]

@vladasdrejeris I will send you a custom build without the background task in order to be sure that it will solve the issue ?

[Kmohamed]

@vladasdrejeris could you give this build a try ?

[vladasdrejeris]

Thanks, I will try it.

[vladasdrejeris]

Hi,

It is very hard to reproduce this crash manually, therefore we decided to release a new app version with your modified SDK build and check if it solves the issue. I will let you know the results of our test later on.

[Kmohamed]

@vladasdrejeris Thanks a lot 🙏

[vladasdrejeris]

Hi,

We are still seeing some crashes even with custom build. We are mostly getting these crashes:

lt.momo.app_issue_75_crash_cdf5fbef10144cd98def164818f7ef93_DNE_0_v2.txt
lt.momo.app_issue_102_crash_c3cae397502840e396c2251ecef47fb2_DNE_0_v2.txt

Maybe you have other ideas how to solve this issue?

[Kmohamed]

Let me check it and get back to you

[vladasdrejeris]

Thanks.

[Kmohamed]

@vladasdrejeris could you share with me how you protect your files? Also please send to me a shareable link of fabric stack trace?

[vladasdrejeris]

Hi @Kmohamed,

We are setting file protection level to all files in app directory:

func setProtectionClass(_ protectionClass: FileProtectionType, toFileAt url: URL) {
    do {
        try (url as NSURL).setResourceValue(URLFileProtection.complete,
                                                forKey: .fileProtectionKey)
     } catch {
        print(error)
    }
}

And a link to stack trace: http://crashes.to/s/89376de10eb

[Kmohamed]

Since you are using URLFileProtection.complete so this custom build should fix this issue.
Could you give it a try and tell me if it works 🙏.

[Vladas-Drejeris]

I will try it.

[Kmohamed]

@Vladas-Drejeris Thanks a lot
