Settings: Homebew [x] Main Taps [x] iTunes [x]

OSX: 10.11.6 (15G1004) MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012)

workaround: when i disable iTunes after the next restart i dont get the error

only this in logfile - that means it has nothing to do with the BartenderHelper:

[muescha]

i have an ipa with this name "Cuisine d'ARTE 1.1.0.ipa" if i hoover over debug info then i see a backslash included "Cuisine d\'ARTE 1.1.0.ipa"

a playground with this works:

let filename = "Cuisine d\'ARTE 1.1.0.ipa"
let ipa = ("~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications/\(filename)" as NSString)
print(ipa)
let ipa_path = ipa.expandingTildeInPath
print(ipa_path)

let filename1 = "Cuisine d'ARTE 1.1.0.ipa"
let ipa1 = ("~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications/\(filename1)" as NSString)
print(ipa1)
let ipa_path1 = ipa.expandingTildeInPath
print(ipa_path1)

also if i create an expresssion it prints out the interpolated string:

print("~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications/\(filename)" as NSString)

but if i step over the line (which i devided in 2 parts) it crashes:

// crash at next line
let ipa_string = ("~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications/\(filename)" as NSString) 
// not reach this line
let ipa = ipa_string.expandingTildeInPath

[gui-dos]

The crash happens while unarchiving iTunesMetadata.plist: I think it is a internal error of the Foundation Kit while executing

let metadata = plist.propertyList() as! NSDictionary.

I installed Cuisine d'ARTE on my machine and unfortunately I can't reproduce the crash:

Or make a workaround if there is a exception then handle it so that the app is not crashing at this place
