iOS app crashes on release mode when performing a .Sum on a List of 20k+ items

[andyx48]

Description

Our production app is crashing without leaving any stacktrace when performing a .Sum or .Average on a List of ~20k items in release mode.

When manually performing the operation in a foreach instead of using .Sum, works as expected.

I have also tried to replicate the .Sum method on my code to see where the issue arises, and it seems that the use of Generics is what is making the app to crash, when changing the generics data types to defined data types, the app does not crash.

I have attached a basic reproduction app.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new dotnet MAUI app.
2. Create a List of a custom model with one of the properties being a decimal.
3. Add 20k elements to the list.
4. Perform a List.Sum(x=>x.DecimalProperty)

Expected result:
To perform the sum of the items.

Actual results:
The app crashes when attempting to perform the operation, but only on Release mode, works as expected when on Debug mode

I checked out your project and I couldn't reproduce a crash on simulator nor device with Release mode. I also created a generic iOS project using your code and couldn't get it to crash there either. If there is a crash, in all likelihood, it would be a runtime issue rather than a MAUI UI issue, but seeing that in your app, CollectionView was causing the UI to perform very poorly and at a low framerate, my guess is that control might be causing more issues that could lead to whatever crash you're having.

Could you try my repro project and see if that crashes on your device.

@rolfbjarne Would you know of more ways to get more information about this crash this user is having?

Either of these (preferrably both) could be useful:

• Device logs: https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/console/cnsl1012/mac
• Crash repors: https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/wiki/Diagnosis#crash-reports

Hey @drasticactions, I tried with your repro project, and is also crashing for me in release mode using my physical device iPhone XS Max iOS Version 17.2.
I also tried to make it crash using an emulator (which I haven't tried before) but I was not able to reproduce there, so must be physical devices only.
Attached the video of the crash, the logs and crash report which I generated with your repro app.

Unfortunately the native stack trace isn't all that helpful, because native symbols were stripped:

Can you add the following to the csproj, try again and get an updated crash report?

<PropertyGroup>
    <NoSymbolStrip>true</NoSymbolStrip>
</PropertyGroup>

That should make the stack trace better.

BTW the device log didn't show anything useful, so there's no need to get an updated version of that.

OK, that's a better crash report:

I can reproduce the crash, and this looks like something for dotnet/runtime.

FWIW I reproduced using @drasticactions's project: https://github.com/drasticactions/MauiRepros/tree/main/GenericCrash, and building it like this:

dotnet build /p:RuntimeIdentifier=ios-arm64 /p:Configuration=Release /bl GenericCrash.csproj
