apptest In case it’s helpful, this crash continues to exist on version 5.3.14 of the iOS app.

It does help alot. Unfortunately for now I don’t have a solution. It’s an issue of memory. The poor mini has a little less ram then a lot of the other phones out there so it’s being affected by this. From my tests it’s isolated to some of these threads with a boat load of pictures and text. But only the mini is very rarely actually showing the problem. It’s something I will keep working on to get a solution for, but nothing imminent. I think there aren’t too many threads that will do that to you. Maybe just that one in recent memory. Will keep working on it

No issues for me with that thread, no crashes.

Thanks so much! Looks like the problem still occurs in the 5.4.0 release as well.

Memory usage problems are tough. Good luck to you.

And in the meantime, viewing the problematic thread in Safari is a good workaround.

I would like to report frequeant crashes especially when looking at threads with lots of pictures. When I tap on the pics within a thread mine will crash 90% of the time. My iPad is 4-5 years old so that could be part of the issue. Just wanted to report my experience. Thank you for what you do and Merry Christmas.

Below is an example, if you load the last page the app crashes.

I tried it and it didn’t crash. Went back to page 8, scrolled all the way then went to page 9 again and still no crash. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Subscribed Threads appear as unread when in fact they have been read. Even when opening a subscribed thread and then immediately going back to subscriptions that same thread appears as unread.

Hmm…not sure then. 5.4.x still crashes on this thread on both my Iphone X and Iphone 11.

My own thread also crashes when loading page 2

Yeah, that one crashes for me too when loading page 2.

apptest I note that the YouTube video in this post:
https://www.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...php?p=29678614
doesn’t play correctly in the embedded player in the BIMMERPOST app. It’s a YouTube Short (in contrast to a “standard” video on YouTube).

However, in the web browser, this post is fine. The YouTube link just appears as a link and takes me to YouTube to watch the video.

Ok some quiet Thursday morning optimism. I think I might have a solution for this. On my testing on most any iPhone including the mini I no longer get crashing for those threads.

The one thing is that I’m in the middle of a few other updates so I won’t release the fix for a few days and just bundle all these together.

I’m still not 100% sure this fix doesn’t break something else so I’m going to test a little longer before deciding to release this fix. But right now I’m optimistic since it seems to be very solid for me on all those example threads.

Thanks everyone for sending those to me. Send more if you see em!

apptest Thanks so much for your efforts!!! Will test-drive the new app now

Sounds excellent! I look forward to giving the fix a try when the App Store tells me the update is available. Thanks for looking into this.

Happy New Year to ya!

apptest I can confirm the “YouTube Shorts” bug is fixed for me. Very nice!

Is it just you working on this app or a team of folks? Well, either way, I’m thankful for your time and attention to the codebase!

How about crashing on some of those threads? For me it’s totally fixed.
And it’s just me, but with a bunch of different accounts used to test various things 👍

Yeah, lookin’ really good! I’m no longer seeing any crashes with previously problematic threads on my iPhone 13 mini. This is with the latest BIMMERPOST app version I see in the App Store: 5.5.0.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet but any time I try to add a photo to my garage the app crashes on me and the photo doesn’t upload/save.

iPhone 14 Pro Max running the latest version of iOS and the BP app.

What happens if you try to attach that same photo to a reply?

Ok I think I might have a solution to what you are seeing, I have a new version submitted to the App Store (5.5.1) which hopefully resolves your issue

No issues with that.

Awesome, thanks!

I dont see an option to see the sticky threads within respective forum sections (in iOS version 5.3). Not sure if this has been already fixed in the later revisions.

We are working on a unique solution for this one. Technically its very easy to do, but still needs some conceptual thought on where to put it, which will take some time.

So in summary, its coming, I don’t know when, but it will come
