Error when dismissing view controller

Question

Getting an error when dismissing a view controller, not seen anything like it before, and not much about it on the internet.

heres the error: * Assertion failure in -[UIKeyboardTaskQueue waitUntilAllTasksAreFinished], /SourceCache/UIKit/UIKit-2903.2/Keyboard/UIKeyboardTaskQueue.m:368

a bit of background, i dismiss the view controller after saving some data. the data saves successfully, every time. also, i recently changed the date saving code to run on the main thread for this one method, as i was having some issues saving in the background.

any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks in advance.

Solution 1

I recieved this error when I was calling -presentViewController:animated:completion: on a thread that was not the main thread (from a callback in a network request). The solution is to dispatch your calls to present and dismiss view controllers to the main thread:

dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
    //Code that presents or dismisses a view controller here
});

Solution 2

I had the same problem while calling the camera view

Swift syntax for the same problem:

dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), { 
    //Code that presents or dismisses a view controller here  
    self.presentViewController(imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
})

Solution 3

Make sure to dismiss the view controller from the presenting view.

When it comes time to dismiss a presented view controller, the preferred approach is to let the presenting view controller dismiss it. In other words, whenever possible, the same view controller that presented the view controller should also take responsibility for dismissing it.
