We have a WebRTC based solution and have been excited about WebRTC support on ios 11 Safari. However, every WebRTC solution we have tested using iPhone 6 on ios 11.0.3 experiences the same problem:

After a while the remote video freezes and the whole phone crashes requiring force reset. There seems to be no talk about such issues anywhere on Internet. Has somebody been experiencing the same and have you found any solutions?

We have replicated the issue with ios 11.0.2, ios 11.0.3, iPhone 6 iPhone 6+ and the following solutions:

  • Our own WebRTC solution based on SimpleWebRTC
  • Talky.io
  • TokBox Safari Demo

  • I can confirm that this happens on my devices as well (iPhone 6 & iPad mini 2). I also found a few references on the internet: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=175014, https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=176439, https://github.com/twilio/twilio-video.js/issues/192; so far no response from Apple yet. – zzxx53 Oct 27 '17 at 15:27
  • Also i can't get it to happen on appr.tc (this site works on ipads only); can you confirm? – zzxx53 Oct 27 '17 at 15:42
  • It seems that this problem is fixed in 11.1 – Otto T. Nov 03 '17 at 14:36
  • Still seeing this in 11.1, but seems fixed in the latest 11.2 beta. Can someone confirm? – zzxx53 Nov 07 '17 at 23:24
  • Other issues on iPhone 6 devices running iOS 11 include camera freezing on the first frame captured or black screen where the video stream should be. Not sure how to fix these. – csalmeida Nov 14 '17 at 10:07
