Hi,
We encountered a new crash issue after we upgraded our deployment target from iOS 13 to iOS 14. We analyzed the stack trace the link map and found out that exchg_registrar::exchg_registrar()
from exchangei_spork.o in libhps_sprk_exchange.a
is getting hit with a KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS exception whenever the app is running the dynamic linker initialization function findAndRunAllInitializers
. We didn’t have this issue prior to upgrading the deployment target to iOS 14 so we think the way we statically link the library should not be the problem.
Here’s the stack strace:
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Subtype: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000000

```.
Like I mentioned before, please note that even though frame 0 shows our app fieldwire as the library, we found out from the link map that exchg_registrar::exchg_registrar()
actually originated from exchangei_spork.o in libhps_sprk_exchange.a
.
The version we use is 2023_SP1_U1 which should be the latest one for iOS.
Can someone please look into this and let us know how can this be fixed?
Thanks.
