Goal
Fatal app hangs have been observed to occur due to OS-level issues when apps move into the background state.
One example is
CABackingStoreCollectBlocking()
hanging while it cleans up graphics resources. It has been reported that this can take up to 10 seconds, and therefore cause the app to be terminated by the system watchdog.Since this is not likely to be an app bug or noticed by users (who would observe the app opening on its start screen) it does not make sense to report these hangs as fatal / unhandled errors that affect the stability score. Apps can be terminated in the background for a number of other reasons.
Changeset
App hangs are now ignored once
UIApplicationDidEnterBackgroundNotification
has been received and until a subsequentUIApplicationWillEnterForegroundNotification
is received.Testing
E2E tests have been amended to verify 3 additional scenarios:
