Orion iOS crashes before the app fully loads

KoroKara

If I try to boot up the app, it has to load before I can click any buttons, but it crashes before it fully loads in.

Good to know: I 11K open tabs. And this did not start happening until 1.5.6 TestFlight build 4.

I expected it to load in seamlessly like always

Orion 1.5.6 Build 4

Hey! Thank you for the report and for pushing Orion to its limits. Just to confirm, if you install an older version of Orion (1.5.6 (3), for example) via TestFlight, does it launch as expected again?

Hi KoroKara thank you for taking the time to report this bug!

Please let us know if Orion opens normally on 1.5.6 (3)?

Also, would you be able to share the crash report on your device? In your iPhone, open Settings.app and navigate to: Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements → Analytics Data, open the most recent entry starting with "Orion" and share it with the share button. If there's no "Orion" entry from the time of the crash, look for one starting with "JetsamEvent" instead, iOS creates that one when it closes an app for using too much memory. If you don't feel like sharing on the forum, you can send it to me directly at jet [at] kagi.com.

Thank you for your help in making Orion a better browser!

laiz Yes it does launch as expected if I download the older build

KoroKara

jeanetienne Hello, yes Orion starts normally on the older build. I'm not sure which one is the correct report so I'll email both

jeanetienne

KoroKara thank you for testing build 3 and sending both reports!

These two are warnings Orion logged while it was running, unfortunately they don't show the crash itself. Could you check the same Analytics Data list for an entry starting with "Orion-2026-10" (without "ExcUserFault" in front), or one starting with "JetsamEvent", from a time build 4 failed to open? If there's none, could you install build 4 again and try to reproduce the crash?

Thank you for your help in making Orion a better browser!

I think I found them. I'll email them to you now

KoroKara thanks! I think I found a fix. On launch we build the full interface of every open tab, so with 11k tabs it ran out of memory before it finished starting. Now we only build it for the displayed tab at launch.

KoroKara

jeanetienne Ah, that makes sense. Thank you!

jeanetienne

KoroKara we just released build 1.5.6 (6) on TestFlight with a fix for this, please let me know how that works out for you?

KoroKara

jeanetienne yes, the issue no longer persists. Thank you!

jeanetienne

KoroKara excellent news, thanks for following up!
