Description:
When using react-native-orientation-locker in a CarPlay environment, the app crashes with the following error:
-[CPTemplateApplicationScene requestGeometryUpdateWithPreferences:errorHandler:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance
The crash happens in the method lockToOrientation:usingMask: because the following code assumes the first connected scene is always a UIWindowScene:
if (@available(iOS 16.0, *)) {
UIWindowScene *windowScene = (UIWindowScene *)[UIApplication sharedApplication].connectedScenes.allObjects.firstObject;
UIWindowSceneGeometryPreferencesIOS *geometryPreferences = [[UIWindowSceneGeometryPreferencesIOS alloc] initWithInterfaceOrientations:mask];
[windowScene requestGeometryUpdateWithPreferences:geometryPreferences errorHandler:^(NSError * _Nonnull error) {
#if DEBUG
if (error) {
NSLog(@"Failed to update geometry with UIInterfaceOrientationMask: %@", error);
}
#endif
}];
}On CarPlay, the active scene is of type CPTemplateApplicationScene, which does not implement requestGeometryUpdateWithPreferences:errorHandler:.
💡 Suggested Fix
if (@available(iOS 16.0, *)) {
UIScene *scene = UIApplication.sharedApplication.connectedScenes.allObjects.firstObject;
if ([scene isKindOfClass:[UIWindowScene class]]) {
UIWindowScene *windowScene = (UIWindowScene *)scene;
UIWindowSceneGeometryPreferencesIOS *geometryPreferences =
[[UIWindowSceneGeometryPreferencesIOS alloc] initWithInterfaceOrientations:mask];
[windowScene requestGeometryUpdateWithPreferences:geometryPreferences
errorHandler:^(NSError * _Nonnull error) {
#if DEBUG
if (error) {
NSLog(@"Failed to update geometry with UIInterfaceOrientationMask: %@", error);
}
#endif
}];
} else {
NSLog(@"[Orientation] Scene is not UIWindowScene (possibly CarPlay CPTemplateApplicationScene)");
}
} else {
UIDevice* currentDevice = [UIDevice currentDevice];
[currentDevice setValue:@(UIInterfaceOrientationUnknown) forKey:orientation];
[currentDevice setValue:@(newOrientation) forKey:orientation];
}ℹ️ Additional Notes
- This crash occurs because CarPlay scenes are of type CPTemplateApplicationScene instead of UIWindowScene.
- CPTemplateApplicationScene does not support geometry updates, so calling requestGeometryUpdateWithPreferences directly causes an unrecognized selector crash.
- The proposed fix adds a type check to ensure the call is only made when the scene is a UIWindowScene.
- On iPhone/iPad the current behavior remains unchanged.
