崩溃：com.apple.spritekit.renderQueue

Question

We are developing a SpriteKit iOS7 game,the game works very well, but the game crashes when it is sent to background if we integrated any of the following libs: - Airship. - Bugsense. - Apptentive.

Here is the Crashlytics crash report:

Answer 1

Apptentive, at least, doesn't make any OpenGL calls. I suspect that adding the libraries to your app may just be exposing the issue that would happen in some other context (such as when there are pending events to process on the main run loop when the app is being backgrounded).

That said, the backtrace above is the same as the one in this thread:

Spritekit crashes when entering background

of which there is a solution proposed here:

Sprite Kit & playing sound leads to app termination

The problem there being audio playing while the app is being backgrounded. Might that be the issue?

If not, the other possible culprit would be OpenGL rendering , as others have said.

Answer 2

I encountered the same issue in Swift and I solved the problem with the following code:

func applicationDidEnterBackground(application: UIApplication)
{
    var skView:SKView = self.window?.rootViewController?.view as! SKView
    skView.paused = true
}


func applicationWillEnterForeground(application: UIApplication)
{
    var skView:SKView = self.window?.rootViewController?.view as! SKView
    skView.paused = false        
}

Answer 3

I solved this in a game which is not using audio. Th solution is to pause SKView when entering background:

- (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application
{
    SKView *view = (SKView *)self.window.rootViewController.view;
    if (view) {
        view.paused = YES;
    }
}

- (void)applicationWillEnterForeground:(UIApplication *)application
{
    SKView *view = (SKView *)self.window.rootViewController.view;
    if (view) {
        view.paused = NO;
    }
}
