Can you explain more how the ARC migration (86626a8) changed it? |
Member
Author
With ARC variables are implicit strong references. Previously it was a weak reference. Hopefully this was a one time flub with the migration. Let me know if you have any more specific questions or want me to explain over vc. |
Contributor
Gotcha, for future reference for myself, I found this documentation that explains the defaults. |

This is the correct link: https://github.com/flutter/engine/blob/f20681241753ce4140f39e536cc8fe97507c1ce9/shell/platform/darwin/ios/framework/Source/accessibility_bridge.h#L94 PlatformViewIOS is a c++ class so it doesn't follow the same semantics as objc classes. |

See [best practices](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/main/docs/releases/Hotfix-Documentation-Best-Practices.md) for examples Fixes issue in iOS add-to-app where Flutter view may hang after multiple transitions. ### Impact Description: What is the impact (ex. visual jank on Samsung phones, app crash, cannot ship an iOS app)? Does it impact development (ex. flutter doctor crashes when Android Studio is installed), or the shipping production app (the app crashes on launch) App may hang after transitioning between multiple pages on iOS. ### Workaround: Is there a workaround for this issue? No ### Risk: What is the risk level of this cherry-pick? - [x] Low - [ ] Medium - [ ] High ### Test Coverage: Are you confident that your fix is well-tested by automated tests? - [x] Yes - [ ] No ### Validation Steps: What are the steps to validate that this fix works? Using https://github.com/flutter/samples/tree/main/add_to_app/fullscreen * Launch a Flutter screen * Dismiss or pop the Flutter screen to return to native * Repeat the process several times (open Flutter, close, then open again) * Flutter screen should not freeze Co-authored-by: gaaclarke <[email protected]>
