Stack Overflow in ModelLayer

[MichaelDanielTom]

Environment

• Xcode version: 15.0.1
• iOS version: iOS 16.6.1
• Devices affected:
• Maps SDK Version: 11.0.0

Observed behavior and steps to reproduce

Frequent updates to a ModelLayer's style (using a geojson feature collection of points as a source) eventually cause a stack overflow crash if there are lots of other frequently updating layers and modelScale is set to a zoom interpolated expression. Separately, I think this might have something to do with the duration of animations for modelRotation not calculating properly (If I set model rotation transition to duration=100 seconds the animation takes ~4 seconds to complete, and if the duration less the crash happens less).

In particular, I was able to get it to reliably crash by simultaneously:

1) Rotating by 180 degrees every second (setting the ModelLayer's modelRotation from [0, 0, 0] to [0, 0, 180]) 2) Having modelRotationTransition set to duration 100 seconds. 3) Having modelScale set to interpolate based on zoom. Importantly, I was not able to get it to crash if modelScale is just a regular vector like [1, 1, 1]. Example complex modelScale:

modelScale = ['interpolate', ['linear'], ['zoom'],
  11,
  [['*', 10, 40], ['*', 10, 40], ['*', 10, 40]],
  15,
  [['*', 5, 40], ['*', 5, 40], ['*', 5, 40]],
];

4) Wait 10 seconds to 2 minutes. The more other stuff is moving around (e.g. having a lot of symbols in a SymbolLayer animating by changing the source geojson's coordinates multiple times/second), the quicker the crash seems to happen. However it hasn't been deterministic as to how long it takes.

The models always initially loads and work as expected for a while, with the rotation animating, interpolated scale based on zoom working, and everything rendering correctly. And thanks all the 3d stuff team, it's really awesome :)

Here's the trace:

I got so many crash like this trace

May you share a full crash log file?

Update: I'm pretty sure it was related to the super long transition duration (>100000) that was set for modelRotationTransition - since lowering it in our app to something less than 10000, I have not been able to make it crash again.
