uiwebview webthread crashing

Question

My App with an UIWebView is crashing a lot. The crash is often slightly different, but it's always a crash of the "WebThread" with a similar stack trace.

I found this question but I don't think it's my case, I have iOS 6 and I'm not loading Office documents. I'm using websocket to send messages to a server and using ajax commet to receive messages from a server.

The crashes always happen when I'm starting that connections.

I fixed the bug, I was sending javascript logs to cocoa like this, I fixed those crashes by removing this.

Actually, that's not necessary anymore for iOS 6 cause now it's possible to debug javascript using MAC OX safari =)

Can you clarify this? You say you were sending javascripts logs and that fixed a crash... do you mean simply removing some console.log() messages from a webpage eliminated crashes in your iOS app? – karlbecker_com Feb 23 '14 at 22:32
Yes, that was a long time ago, but as I remember, I just removed console.log and the problem was solved. – Filipe Roberto Feb 24 '14 at 23:00
Thanks for the clarification - strange solution! – karlbecker_com Feb 25 '14 at 02:55
Indeed, very strange. I can confirm that removing all `console.log` calls seemed to fix the frequent crashes for me, too (iOS7) – auco Mar 12 '14 at 02:37
@FilipeRoberto I am not able to fix the crash issue by removing all logs from my javascript . Can you please share the detailed solution of this crash as I am facing the same problem – Dinesh Kaushik Apr 21 '14 at 08:57
@DineshKaushik I just did what I said, removed the logs. Later I found another issue in websocket communication. I don't know today, but an year ago websockets were not well suported by uiwebview, I had to remove that too and use ajax. – Filipe Roberto Apr 22 '14 at 12:22
