Question

The error about incorrect threads using in Xcode 14


Hi! When building the application in Xcode 14.0 b6, it shows the following error:

Thread Performance Checker: Thread running at QOS_CLASS_USER_INITIATED waiting on a lower QoS thread running at QOS_CLASS_DEFAULT. Investigate ways to avoid priority inversions

It does not cause a crash, but it might be useful to fix it.

Hey @etaskun​! Daniel from Customer Support Engineering here 🔧 

 

Thanks for flagging this with us! I haven't seen an error like this before, but I know the team have made some changes relating to the main thread that runs on the newest SDK version. I'm going to bring this one up with the team to see if we can get some more insight into this one 👍 I'll let you know if there's anything you can do to resolve this!

Hey again @etaskun​! I just heard back from our mobile team - we don't currently support iOS 16, but we will be shipping support once iOS 16 is released publicly. Since these logs are just a warning, it shouldn't affect your app at all 👍

Now that iOS 16 has been officially released to the public, are you able to address the runtime warning? Thanks!

Userlevel 2

Hey @ryan z​! Yes, you can find the brand new V13.0.0 of our SDK live now on our iOS repository 🙌

Hi @daniel m15​, thanks for the update! I wanted to let you know that I am still seeing a runtime warning in V13.0.0. This is what I found in the console:

Please let me know if you are able to track it down and I'll be sure to verify any potential fixes.

We are also seeing this thread warning in Xcode 14. Even after updating to version 13.0.0 of the SDK.

I just updated to version 13 and still seeing this warning.

Hello, same problem here, even after updated to version 13 of the SDK...

Hey all 👋 I've let the team know that you're seeing runtime warnings in the newest iOS version. For no, I wouldn't worry too much if you are still able to use the app, but I'll revert back here with an update when I hear a response 👍

Hello again everyone 👋

 

I have received confirmation from our product team that this is not an issue caused by Intercom, but rather a bug in Xcode that's mistakenly triggering warnings to be printed. This is not something that we can fix at the moment. Do bear in mind that these warnings are being sent mistakenly; the performance of your app will not be affected. We hope to address this issue in the near future.

 

Have a nice day 😊

This may help in diagnosing and resolving the issue:

Also it looks like Realm was having the same issue and resolved it with this pull request.

@daniel m15​ 

Hey, we’re facing the same issue with Intercom SDK 13.0.0 using the stable version of Xcode 14.0.1

There are pretty lots of similar issues with other 3rd parties SDKs. Could you please gently double-check all your code for using GCD semaphores. Looks like you might have a priority inversion issue in your SDK? https://forums.swift.org/t/xcode-14-beta-thread-performance-checker/57883/p>

 

Unfortunately, we can’t check it by ourselves, because you have a compiled version of xcframework in your git repository https://github.com/intercom/intercom-ios/p>

Hello! Any update here? We're still seeing the log.

Hey Intercom Team,

We are also experiencing this warning in Xcode 14.2 including crashes on Firebase with Intercom SDK version 14.0.6 [tried with latest 14.1.0 version as well but still getting debugger warning].

We hope you guys take a look this issue and give us possible solution.

Thanks.

@Daniel M15 I have to agree with @Anton B that it looks like your SDK is having priority inversion issues.  The latest version of Xcode are actually doing a better job of calling out the issues like this instead of mostly ignoring them as in the past.

This is the notice I get (see my post above for Backtrace):

Thread Performance Checker: Thread running at QOS_CLASS_USER_INITIATED waiting on a lower QoS thread running at QOS_CLASS_DEFAULT. Investigate ways to avoid priority inversions.

Could you have your dev team take another look at the issue?  Thanks. 

I also have this problem. Intercom 14.0.4 and Xcode 14.2.
Run into it while investigating a problem with attributes for some of our users not being updated on Intercom.loginUser(with: userAttributes). No evidences these two can be related, but this thread inversion issue is the only problem with Intercom I can suspect at the moment.

We also have this crash happening in our app.  
It is our top most crash (more than 75% of our crashes)

Did this ever get resolved? I’m getting these issues after upgrading our XCode and react native version to 0.72.
