v4.2.0 Crashes On Launch

[Yonidass]

Environment

• OS Version: 15.1
• App Version: 4.2.0

Description

After upgrading to the latest version, the app worked a few times normally but now crashes every time I try to launch it. Did nothing since the upgrade except listen a few times, and added 1 bookmark to a file.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

[GianniCarlo]

based on the crashlogs, this may be due to the UITableViewDiffableDataSource, we have reverted that in this PR #660. I'm leaving this issue open to follow up once v4.2.1 is out

[GianniCarlo]

yup, I'm going through email support too, and linking to the github issues when possible

How long will it take Apple to push the update? It’s been nearly 4 days now without autoplay and an essentially dead app.

I deleted my identical bug report as it added no extra value to the dev. :)

[GianniCarlo]

@turingsecurity It usually takes between 2-3 days upon submission, it was submitted yesterday around 7am (UTC-5)

[GianniCarlo]

Apple has released v4.2.1, please let me know if the crash is still happening after updating, cc @Yonidass @turingsecurity @gyre

Bookplayer still crashes on launch for me for 4.2.1.

iOs 15.1. iPhone 11pro.

If you need crashdump let me know how I can get it to you. :)

[Yonidass]

Still crashes for me too.

oh I see @Chrischmi has already done so, thanks a lot!, the error looks related to the Theme that it's used to load the initial state of the app, it seems to be nil, I'll add a default value for that

-- Edit
CoreData sometimes returns properties as faults, so it looks like the theme linked to the library isn't readily available

Heh. I did install 4.2.0 via TF and it crashed. Hopefully you got the crash report as well :)

[GianniCarlo]

well we can be sure now that this is what's happening, got the crash report and it's the same issue 😬

Thanks for installing @gyre 😁 , the good thing, is that I already had a solution in place for this, that I implemented for the widgets extension, I forgot to put it in the main app. I'll submit an open beta shortly with that fix, I want to include other things in the next version as well

PR: #666

[GianniCarlo]

Build submitted to TestFlight, it takes around the same time usually as submitting to the app store for the beta to go live

I'll post here once it's approved and live, link to join: https://testflight.apple.com/join/FLv3zLyN

4.2.2(1) just arrived. and crashed. stacktrace (hopefully) submitted via TF

[GianniCarlo]

Thanks for your prompt reply @gyre , can you update to the build 3 and test? I just updated the beta again

[gyre]

4.2.2(3) starts and plays. at least the first few secs i tested. :)

[GianniCarlo]

nice!

[gyre]

now i can go and continue the washing up with my earbuds in. thanks for fixing this :) :)

[GianniCarlo]

Thanks everyone for your help in solving this issue 🙌
