Screenshot capture crashes with invalid bounds in SwiftUI views during transitions

[guitaripod]

Environment

• Shake iOS SDK version: 17.2.2
• iOS version: 17+, 18+
• SwiftUI application

Description

The SDK crashes when capturing screenshots in SwiftUI views with complex hierarchies during view transitions. The crash occurs due to invalid view bounds in transitional states.

Affected view structure:

• TabView with PageTabViewStyle
• AVPlayerViewController via UIViewControllerRepresentable
• Overlay layers with transitions

Workaround

.onAppear {
    Shake.configuration.isScreenshotIncluded = false
}
.onDisappear {
    Shake.configuration.isScreenshotIncluded = true
}

Feature Request

1. Defensive screenshot capture: Handle invalid/transitional view bounds gracefully (skip or retry) rather than crashing.

2. SwiftUI-compatible private view API: The addPrivateView() API is documented as unavailable for SwiftUI. A SwiftUI modifier to exclude views from screenshots would be useful.

Happy to provide more details or test fixes.

Hi there,

we’ve tried to reproduce this on our side with a similar SwiftUI setup, but so far we haven’t been able to make it crash on iOS 17 or 18.

To help us understand what’s going on, could you share one of these if possible:

-a small sample app that shows the crash
-more details about what the app is doing at the moment the screenshot is taken
-a crash log or stack trace from when it happens
That should help us see what exactly is causing the issue and help reproduce and fix it.

We’re keeping your suggestions in mind (defensive screenshot capture and a SwiftUI-friendly way to exclude views), but we’d like to fully understand the root cause first before making changes.

I don't have a crash log available - the workaround has been in place since October 2025, so the crash hasn't occurred since then.

The crash happened during the initial implementation when testing the view without the screenshot disable flag. It occurred when invoking Shake's bug report screen while the SwiftUI view was mid-transition (swiping between pages, video player loading, etc.).

I can remove the workaround and attempt to reproduce it with a stack trace if that would help. Let me know.

Hi there,
I think we may be having a similar issue. Here are our crash logs.
