When called during launch with nil calendar and abbreviated units, DateComponentsFormatter.string(from:) | |
crashes attempting to call -[__NSCFString locale]. | |
Area: | |
Foundation | |
Summary: | |
Due to rdar://problem/44835278 we're using DateComponentsFormatter with its calendar property set to nil | |
to force it to use the en_US_POSIX locale, since we can't set the locale directly. The unitsStyle | |
property is .abbreviated. This generally works, however it crashes consistently when calling | |
string(from: TimeInterval) during launch, unrecognized selector -[__NSCFString locale]. | |
Steps to Reproduce: | |
An example project is included for you to run and observe the crash. You can execute the following code in | |
any app's didFinishLaunching app delegate method: | |
let duration: TimeInterval = 30_000 | |
let formatter = DateComponentsFormatter() | |
formatter.calendar = nil | |
formatter.unitsStyle = .abbreviated | |
let abbreviated = formatter.string(from: duration)! | |
print(abbreviated) | |
Expected Results: | |
No crash. Returns a string. | |
Actual Results: | |
Crash. | |
Version/Build: | |
iOS 12.1.3 (16D39) | |
Configuration: | |
iPhone 7 Plus and the iPhone 8 simulator | |
---- | |
I just tried something slightly different in my code (not initializing the formatter in a static let property) | |
and this time it crashed sending the locale selector to BSActionListenerToken instead of __NSCFString, so | |
there might be a race or something more interesting with memory going on here. |
