The Roon app frequently (several times daily) crashes for me. I tried to include my crash log here, but it’s too long (about 35k).
I tried writing to support, but was referred to the forum, so…

Hi @Steve_Kalkwarf ---- Thank you for the feedback and apologies for the inconvenience here. I will be contacting you shortly to gather logs from you so our developers can take a closer look into this issue. Thanks!

I mentioned this in another post, but nobody responded. This time I have a crashlog, but much like my iOS crashes, it’s too big to post.
@Support ?
Steve, I’ve moved your post into the existing topic to keep the history together.
Did @Eric not get back to you? Maybe it slipped off his to do list.
Fairly frequently, I go to see what’s playing, or pause a player, and I can’t find the Roon icon in the dock. Digging through the system logs, I find:
7/21/16 9:49:49.901 AM com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.roon.Roon.31072[1364]) Service exited with abnormal code: 5
but no additional data. What can I do to troubleshoot this?
Unrelated, but as long as I’m here:

I’ll leave a @support flag just in case @Eric is not available right now.
I’ve provided detail on the iOS/iPhone crashes, but not the Mac crashes. It made sense to me to keep them separate since they’re separate operating systems.
My thought was as they happened at the same time there might be some correlation between the events.
Let’s see what the Roon devs can find.
Hi @Steve_Kalkwarf ----- Thank you for all of your continued feedback and my apologies for the slow response here. Our developers are still trying to reproduce the issue in house to no avail. Have you noticed any patterns in behavior that maybe leading up to these crashes?
-Eric
Not particularly. If I had a reproducible case, I’d share.
I would be willing to wager that more than half the time it’s almost immediately after a device (Mac or iPhone) has woken from sleep, and I’ve tried to interact with Roon. Here’s the crashing thread from my most recent episode:

If it helps, I’d be willing to run a build with additional logging enabled.
I’ve been getting an occasional crash using the ios app on my iphone, but it doesn’t look like a crash log is being added to the normal place in the settings app. I haven’t spotted any pattern to the behaviur as yet, if I do I will let you know.
I mostly use an ipad, which has probably only crashed on a couple of occasions since I joined up about 4 weeks ago. It feels the more stable of the 2 apps.
Happy to help test new app builds if you are looking for beta testers (I already beta test for Naim)

The Mac OS crashes are elusive, as the app just disappears from the Dock, and no crash report is generated. To try to catch it in the act, I attached to Roon with a debugger, and let it run. Unfortunately, no symbols, but it looks like the app is dereferencing a null pointer

Something just occurred to me. I’m often going back and forth between the iPhone and Mac, controlling or observing the same player. I wouldn’t expect that to matter, but maybe that’s the difference between how I use the remotes, and how others are using Roon?
