Cordova / Ionic iOS application freezes in pop-up window when loading plugins

Question

Our app is currently crashing for all iOS 11 users. The app loads the splash screen and then freezes endlessly. This issue does not affect users who are not using iOS 11 and cannot be played on the iOS 11 simulator.

The only keys we have for this problem is that when we check the code using Safari Developer Tools, we can see that these are plugins that do not load. This problem does not reproduce in 100% of cases, but it is in approximately 98% of cases.

Here is the only error we see in Xcode:

[BoringSSL] Function nw_protocol_boringssl_input_finished: line 1389 Peer disconnected during the middle of a handshake. Sending errSSLFatalAlert(-9802) alert TIC TCP Conn Failed [1:0x1c016b4c0]: 3:-9802 Err(-9802) NSURLSession/NSURLConnection HTTP load failed (kCFStreamErrorDomainSSL, -9802) Task <F69566CA-B83A-4252-B2F2-DDB84A7AAFD3>.<1> HTTP load failed (error code: -1200 [3:-9802]) Task <F69566CA-B83A-4252-B2F2-DDB84A7AAFD3>.<1> finished with error - code: -1200 

and here is a screenshot of how it looks when debugging in the browser: (all other resources from the screen are very thin)

This error occurred immediately after the release of iOS 11, and we did not change the code. Help will be greatly appreciated as this error appears from within Cordoba.

Note. We use Cordova 4.3.1 and try to update to the latest version, but it does not matter.

Answer 1

The solution to our problem is to remove the plug-in cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine .

Answer 2

I recently experienced this problem. I am using the new CLI 9.0 and iOS 5.0. I actually removed the screensaver plugin and it worked. And a side benefit is that it is also much faster!
