@amruth-movano Thank you for providing the crash reports. I'll investigate to see if I can reproduce the issue.

[amruth-movano]

@5d Did you get any hint in this, as many users are seeing this crash?

[harsh62]

@amruth-movano Our team is still trying to reproduce this issue in our local environment. You said its not reproducible, but are you able to deduce from the usage of Amplify on what are the most likely possible steps?

[amruth-movano]

@harsh62 Did we get any solution on this?
I am attaching 2 more crash stack traces

Thank you for your patience - we will investigate and post updates.

Hi @amruth-movano ,

Unfortunately, I couldn't reproduce the issue.
Based on the stack traces, one potential cause could be that the actor-guarded property cancellables is not running in an isolated context with Apple's AnyCancellable.store(in:). I've made a potential fix on the branch 5d/fix-3748. I will discuss this with the team to see if this could mitigate the issue.

Hi @5d,

I am also facing this issue on version 2.29.1. There are lots of Crashes due to this. What measures can I take to prevent this? I have looked over the release notes of all the recent Amplify Versions, but none of them mentioned this issue being fixed.

Hi @minaamaw-sl, were you able to try out the 5d/fix-3748 branch in your app to resolve the issue?
