[1.6.14] Location selection crashes when using the share extension

Budget Flow🐞 Bug Reports

If you use the share menu with e.g. a pdf, the form for a new transaction appears and you can enter your data. If you want to add a location and tap on the button for that, the entry form immediately disappear and thats it. The whole transaction is gone.

    Hi @Rene,
    I have taken another look at the problem. Unfortunately, I have to tell you that this is a limitation made by Apple that I cannot solve :(

    The reason is that as soon as you select the location, a new view opens which contains an MKMapView (see https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mapkit/mkmapview). This is a standard component from Apple to display maps from Apple Maps. The problem is that the MKMapView consumes a lot of memory depending on the location (i.e. the more roads, buildings, etc. are displayed, the more memory it consumes).

    Unfortunately, Share Extensions have a memory limit that is exceeded when MKMapView is displayed. This results in an EXC_RESOURCE exception which causes the share extension to be terminated by the operating system (see https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/exc_resource). To prevent the crash from happening again, I will disable the location selection from the share extension in the next update and hide the section there.

    I hope you understand this and thank you for reporting the bug :)

    Best regards

    Fabian
