Can someone contribute more than "lol, me too!" and figure out which API endpoint it's hitting, what it's returning and guess why it's crashing? I don't have an iOS device otherwise I'd do it...

- acdha 4y agoIt’s their own “Safari suggestions” service. I don’t know if that’s device local or some Apple API which changed but disabling it prevents the crashes.
- bombcar 4y agoI wonder if "Safari Suggestions" is crossing a privacy line with its API it shouldn't and iOS nukes the app from orbit.
- acdha 4y agoI doubt that since it’s their own code but I’d easily believe that it hits an API endpoint which just started malfunctioning. The description is vague but it appears to retrieve a bunch of different kinds of information from some Apple service. Clearly a massive test coverage miss if my speculation is right.
- superjan 4y agoI think he is joking.
- bombcar 4y agoIt's partially a joke, but as anyone who has worked with a complex system, things like this can happen. A privacy control is changed somewhere, but not activated until later, and suddenly one day something stops working.
- acdha 4y agoI wasn’t sure about that and it’s certainly not without precedent that different parts of the same company might do something like that.
- dpkirchner 4y agoSomeone from Apple can probably attach a debugger and figure out the problem, but most of us are going to be in the dark.
