有时候我们会遇到这样的错误而导致 app 崩溃:
This application is modifying the autolayout engine from a background thread, which can lead to engine corruption and weird crashes. This will cause an exception in a future release.
这个问题的解决其实并不复杂。根据错误的描述,是因为我们在代码中在主线程以外的线程中更新了 UI 所导致的,因此,只需要将更新 UI 的代码包裹在 dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^(void){ <code> });
块中即可。
问题是 Xcode 的这个错误提示非常之不明确,你在它的调用堆栈根本无法发现错误是由哪句代码导致的。
要调试这个问题,需要用到一些技巧。你可以从这里找到一个 PSPDFUIKitMainThreadGuard.m 文件。它能帮我们找出问题之所在。这是一个在 PSPDFKit 框架中用到的专门查找代码中哪些代码会在辅线程中更新 UI 的工具,但已经修改为支持 MIT 协议了,因此你可以在自己的项目中使用它。它会在背后拦截所有 UIKit 中对 setNeedsDisplay 和 setNeedsLayout 的调用。
上面的源代码需要进行某些地方才能工作。但不要担心,笔者已经替你完成这个工作了:

将这个文件的编译选项设置为 -fno-objc-arc。试着编译一下,如果顺利的话,你就可以找出项目中那些错误地在辅线程中更新 UI 的代码了。
运行你的程序,当你有任何类似的错误发生时,Xcode 会在错误发生的代码停下。注意看左边的线程树:
你应该很容易找到你自己的代码,点击它,代码编辑器会跳到断点出现的地方:
这就是你需要去修改的地方。
