iOS Question WebView crash

[martin24]

I ran into a reproducible crash when loading certain URLs in a WebView while moving the app into background (before the page is displayed).

This can be reproduced for example with https://www.facebook.com
It only happens with certain URLs, other URLs work fine.

When the app is in foreground while loading facebook, I see this in the log but the page is loaded correctly.

CoreAnimation: [EAGLContext renderbufferStorage:fromDrawable:] was called from a non-main thread in an implicit transaction! Note that this may be unsafe without an explicit CATransaction or a call to [CATransaction flush].

When I start loading https://www.facebook.com and put the app into background before the rendered page is displayed, I get the following crash:

CoreAnimation: [EAGLContext renderbufferStorage:fromDrawable:] was called from a non-main thread in an implicit transaction! Note that this may be unsafe without an explicit CATransaction or a call to [CATransaction flush].

)

I just start loading, then press the home button as long as the webview is "white".

Is there a way to work around this problem?

BTW, I use B4i 5.50.

Does it happen with WKWebView from iUI8?

It happens with the normal WebView.

I wasn't aware that WKWebView exists which seems to work. I'll use WKWebView now, thanks for the tip.
