Crashes iphone Drone Scanner app and Dronetag app

[ipocalypse]

The apps will run till it detects a drone. Very quickly after detection the app crashes. All info appears to be showing up in the app before it crashes.

Not really sure if that has anything to do with SquidRID.

Can you send links to those apps please? I am on Android - maybe someone else on iPhone can chime in here.

I have Done Scanner running on Android for hours without issues.

App seems to run without issue if the esp32 is powered off. If I had to guess I would say the apps are getting the packets too quickly. I tested it while walking away from the esp32. When I got to the edge of the range it got 1 packet and did not crash. I started walking back and as soon as it got in range again it crashed the app. https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/drone-scanner/id1644548782 This one will allow me to see the info before it crashes. Packet count is very rapid.

Interesting. I actually run packages much slower than RemoteID usually requires it. A real RemoteID will probably even more crash it .

[ipocalypse]

Well that was just a theory as it did not crash when it only got 1 packet. Not sure what it could be then. But both the apps I can find for iphone do the same thing. They run fine until I connect power to the esp32.. then they both crash. I have not found any other app for the iphone that detects RID.

I wonder if it's a non-sanitized string :-D - that would be funny. Can you send me your configuration? Either connect via serial and send command "$D" or go to the configurator and open the console and look for the response for $D, like: [serial] received $D|1007| and copy or screenshot it.

They both look good and I tested them both - no issue on Android. I need someone else to test this as I don't have an iphone here.

Was able to get a screen shot before it crashed.

Just tried both apps on an ipad as well with the same results. Crash after detecting the esp32's drones

I had a chance to test it on an iPhone and sure enough it fails. Looks like it's a common problem not just with SquidRID. Not sure how to resolve.

[truglodite]

Have you tested iOS devices with an actual RID, like DJI?

If it also crashes with 'real devices', then it seems it would have to be the app.

[ipocalypse]

Maybe it has something to do with the error on the operator ID?

[flyandi]

The frames are not sent in order. So any receiver will have to collect and wait till a full set of frames are collected. Again I have seen many people complain that this app is not working on iOS. On Android there are no issues.

There is very little I can do.

[ipocalypse]

Ohh i was not complaining just trying to help isolate the issue. Appreciate all your work for the cause!

Awesome job on the app. I'm very new to coding so there was a bit of a learning curve. It's pretty funny that it does indeed crash the RID apps...lol
