Description of the issue: After not having the Brave Browser open in the background for a while, I go to open it and it presents me with a pop up error and I have to restore the tabs I had open previously. Ever since the last app update, this has been happening 90% of the time I go to open the browser. Not sure why it’s happening, but I wanted to create a support thread about it.
How can this issue be reproduced?
Close Brave browser from app switcher.
Wait a little (probably 5 or 10 minutes).
Reopen Brave browser.
Expected result: Reopen browser to error pop up saying that I can click “ok” to restore my tabs as there has been an issue.
Brave Version: 1.32.1
Mobile Device details: iPhone 12 Pro Max running iOS 15.0.2, iOS 15.1 update available
@PaulJ,
Can I ask how many tabs you have open when this occurs? I’m inclined to think that its one specific tab in the group that is causing the crash but it’s hard to tell which one it would be.
The new update was issued quickly to solve some sync problems.
This tab-open crash will be fixed in build 1.32.3, sorry for getting it so late.
Workaround solution for this is to go to homescreen first before removing the app from app switcher. We have noticed if you immediately swipe up to kill the app, then on next launch it detects as a crash.
This is Apple’s bug for scene lifecycle, happens on plain new builds too.
As I said, we found a fix for that and we hope to ship it asap
