Not showing native exception UI on iOS

[mark-friedman]

My app just crashes, with no exception UI being shown. I'm setting the native exception handling as follows in my code:

    setNativeExceptionHandler((exceptionString) => {
    });

I am using rn-test-exception-handler to cause the exception in this app.

I am seeing the following logged before the app crashes:

I attempted to debug this in Xcode and set breakpoints at the beginning of handleException() in ReactNativeExceptionHandler.m but the code never seemed to get to that breakpoint. Instead I just got continual exceptions within React Native's invokeInner() method (in RCTNativeModule.mm)

The error that appears there in Xcode is:

Thread 1: EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION (code=EXC_I386_INVOP, subcode=0x0)

I am also seeing a yellow box in my app (which I'm running in React Native's Dev/Debug mode) with the following message. It's not clear whether that is relevent but I'm noting it hear for completeness.

RCTBridge required dispatch_sync to load RCTDevLoadingView.  This may lead to deadlocks.

i have the same issue as yours

[sxqwaade]

me too

I have the same problem.

First, I tried to build a release app, by setting release schema under Product > Scheme > Edit Scheme > Run > Release.

Then, I generated an .ipa archive with Product > Archive and installed it on the device. To install the app, I connected the device, then selected Window > Devices and Simulators and dragged the .ipa archive in Installed Apps.

In neither case the exception was caught (but we can see in the XCode logger that the exception is thrown).

N.B.: On Android it works, and I can see the default native handler.
