Description Of Issue
Every 5-10 seconds Roon remote closes on iPhone 11. If I open it and don’t touch anything, it works fine. If I actively use it, like scroll, open albums, I’m getting crashes.

Reinstall, restart phone doesnt help. Helps to increase the time to 20-30 seconds a reset of cache and change memory size for photos.

iOS is 14.2, it looks like a some memory leakage. Very annoying!

On old iPad I don’t have this issue. So it’s not my network or ROCK.

Hi @Cooler,

I’ve just tried to activate diagnostics mode for you iPhone and what this should do is deliver a log report next time the app is able to communicate with our servers.

Can you please try to open the app and let it crash a few times? Then please let me know here so I can check for the log report’s arrival, thanks!

Hi @noris, yesterday i updated iOS on my phone and today roon was updated too. I cannot reproduce this issue any more. I will come back in a day or two with the results!

@noris, exactly the same issue already for months. Across different iOS versions. Only if I completely reboot my iPhone, the problem stays away a little while. Seen many many more users reporting the same issue on the forum.

@noris, well, im getting this issue again. Just have got two crashes repeatedly a moment ago. Please check the report!

Hi @Cooler,

I haven’t seen any reports come in on my end, I just re-activated diagnostics mode.
Can you please use the Roon app on your iPhone and let me know here after? Thanks!

Hi @noris,
Actually I am using it mainly on iPhone 11, where it crashes and I have got near 10 crashes today, i also have iPhone 7, which I used before and maybe you activated logs on the old phone.

Hi @Cooler,

Thanks for the update, I do see that your iPhone delivered a log set to our servers.

I’m going to ask QA to review the log, but it looks like you were getting quite a few networking issues in the logs that I noticed.

Have you by any chance tried to reproduce this issue on a different router yet?

We have had reports in the past that using Apple Airport routers can lead to issue, as mentioned in our Networking Best Practices Guide, perhaps this is impacting the iPhone traffic.

Hi @noris, yes, i tried different router, I switched to AVM fritz box 6490. Same behaviour! Just have got 2 crashes few minutes ago!

Hi @Cooler,

Thanks for letting me know you tried a different router as well. Your Roon logs are still pending some feedback from QA at this time, but what can also help here would be seeing iOS Console logs, would you by any chance be able to reproduce the issue and retrieve these from your device?

Thanks for the log @Cooler, this log does look helpful, let me get this over to the team!

One other theory regarding this issue could be that background apps on the iOS device are causing Roon to run out of RAM.

If have any background iOS apps running and force-quit the iOS apps (so that only Roon is running), does that help with the issue?

Thanks again for the logs and hope Happy Holidays!

Hi @noris, i closed all other apps and have got roon crash in 5 seconds. ;(

Happy New Year :balloon:
